Answer:

S20 ≈ 4.942

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a geometric series is expressed as Sn = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r if r<1

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

Given the geometric series

1 + 0.8 + 0.8^2 +0.8^3 + ... + 0.8^{19}

Given a = 1,

r = 0.8/1 = 0.8²/0.8 = 0.8

n = 20 (The total number of terms in the series is 20)

Substituting this values in the formula above.

S20 = 1(1-0.8^20)/1-0.8

S20 = 1-0.01153/0.2

S20 = 0.9885/0.2

S20 ≈ 4.942

Use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. Explain each step of your solution. 2x-3y=13 4x-y=-9
Tems11 [23]

2x -3y = 13

4x -y = -9

Multiply the second equation by -3 to make the coefficient of Y opposite the first equation.

4x -y = -9 x -3 = -12x + 3y = 27

Now add this to the first equation:

2x -12x = -10x

-3y +3y = 0

13 +27 = 40

Now you have :

-10x = 40

Divide each side by -10:

x = 40 / -10

x = -4

Now you have a value for x, replace that into the first equation and solve for y:

2(-4) - 3y = 13

-8 - 3y = 13

Add 8 to both sides:

-3y = 21

Divide both sides by -3:

y = 21/-3

y = -7

Now you have X = -4 and y = -7

(-4,-7)

Find
Westkost [7]

Answer:

dy/dx = -b/a cot α

Step-by-step explanation:

x² / a² + y² / b² = 1

Take derivative with respect to x.

2x / a² + 2y / b² dy/dx = 0

2y / b² dy/dx = -2x / a²

dy/dx = -b²x / (a²y)

Substitute:

dy/dx = -b²a cos α / (a²b sin α)

dy/dx = -b cos α / (a sin α)

dy/dx = -b/a cot α

A copy machine makes
IrinaK [193]
This problem can be represented in a formula with fractions. To make it more simple, we are converting 5m30s to just pure seconds, which = 154 copies in 330 seconds.

You set up the formula like this: 154/330 = x/60. (it is x/60 because you want to know the x amount of copies per 60 seconds)

Cross multiply, you get 330x = 9240. Divide both sides by 330, you get:

 x = 28 copies.

The final answer is 28 copies per minute
