Answer:

first term = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sₙ = (a₁ * (1 - rⁿ)) / (1 - r)     a₁: first term     r: common ratio     n: terms

15624 = (a₁ * (1 - 5⁶)) / (1 - 5)

          = (a₁ * -15624) / -4

a₁ x (-15624) =15624 x (-4)

a₁ = 4

check: 4+20+100+500+2500+12500 =15624

Are the numbers (2,3)(1,5)(2,7) a function ?
Arturiano [62]

Firstly they are not numbers, they are ordered pairs or points with a form (x,f(x)) yes they probably lie on a function graph but that would be rather impossible to find out. The function may be linear, exponential, logarithmic etc. we can't tell. All we can tell is that if these ordered pairs P_{1,2,3} lie on a function graph P_{1,2,3}\in G_f where G_f=\{(x,f(x)):\forall x\in D_f\wedge f(x)\in T_f\} where D is definition set of function defined x's and T a transformation set of f(x)'s for this function. So yes they may lie on some lambda function but they themselves are nothing but an ordered pairs with no meaningful connection.

Hope this helps.

Find the probability that a randomly
Alina [70]

Answer:

31.8\%

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the circle is A=\pi r^2=\pi(4)^2=16\pi

The area of the triangle is A=\frac{bh}{2}=\frac{8*4}{2}=\frac{32}{2}=16

Hence, the probability of a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the red shaded area is \frac{16}{16\pi}=\frac{1}{\pi}\approx0.318\approx31.8\%

Write an expression that represents the sum of B and 5 x 2
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Since sum indicates addition, you want to add the two terms together. 
B + (5x2)
If the answer needs to be simplified, you can do the multiplication to get:
B + 10
