Given the sequence 1/2 ; 4 ; 1/4 ; 7 ; 1/8 ; 10;.. calculate the sum of 50 terms

miv72 [106K]

Hint :-

Break the given sequence into two parts .
Notice the terms at gap of one term beginning from the first term .They are like $\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8}$ . Next term is obtained by multiplying half to the previous term .
Notice the terms beginning from 2nd term , $4,7,10,13$ . Next term is obtained by adding 3 to the previous term .

Solution :- 

We need to find out the sum of 50 terms of the given sequence . After splitting the given sequence ,

$\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8}$ .

We can see that this is in Geometric Progression where 1/2 is the common ratio . Calculating the sum of 25 terms , we have ,

$\implies S_1 = a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \\\\\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\left[ \dfrac{1-\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{25}}{1-\dfrac{1}{2}}\right]$

Notice the term $\dfrac{1}{2^{25}}$ will be too small , so we can neglect it and take its approximation as 0 .

$\implies S_1\approx \cancel{ \dfrac{1}{2} } \left[ \dfrac{1-0}{\cancel{\dfrac{1}{2} }}\right]$

$\\\implies \boxed{ S_1 \approx 1 }$

$\rule{200}2$

Now the second sequence is in Arithmetic Progression , with common difference = 3 .

$\implies S_2=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]$

Substitute ,

$\implies S_2=\dfrac{25}{2}[2(4) + (25-1)3] =\boxed{ 908}$

Hence sum = 908 + 1 = 909

Triangle ABC will be dilated according to the rule (x,y), where point F is the center of dilation. What will be the coordinates

Arturiano [62]

To dilate an object using a given scale factor we can multiply the coordinates of the object by the scale factor to get the coordinates of the image. However, this can only be done when the center of dilation is the origin (0,0). For non-origin center of dilation like in our case we have to locate the points of the image by construction in a Cartesian plane using the center and the scale factor. In this case we need to measure the distance of A from a point F (center of dilation) the we multiply it by 0.25 (the scale factor) then using the same path we measure the distance we get to locate point A'. Hence, by so doing point A' will be (1,0).
