Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You may need to clean things up a bit but suppose that

S(1) = a-1

S(2) = a^2 -1

Since this is a geometric series, the geometric ratio is given by

S(2)/ S(1) =  (a^2 -1)/ (a-1)

              =  (a+1)(a-1)/ (a-1)

              = a+1

Conclusion:

S(2) = (a+1) S(1) = (a+1) (a-1)

S(3)  = (a+1) S(2) = (a+1) (a+1) (a-1)   = (a+1)^ (3-1) (a-1)

S(4) = (a+1) S(3)  = (a+1) * (a+1)^2 (a-1) ) = (a+1)^(4-1) (a-1)

in general.....

S(n) = (a+1)^ (n-1) (a-1)

So

S(6) = (a+1)^ (6-1) (a-1)

     =  (a-1) (a+1) ^ 5

    =  a^6 + 4 a^5 + 5 a^4 - 5 a^2 - 4 a - 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a^6 + 4 a^5 + 5 a^4 - 5 a^2 - 4 a - 1


Discussion:

You may need to clean things up a bit but suppose that

S(1) = a-1

S(2) = a^2 -1

Since this is a geometric series, the geometric ratio is given by


S(2)/ S(1) =  (a^2 -1)/ (a-1)

               =  (a+1)(a-1)/ (a-1)

               = a+1

Conclusion:

S(2) = (a+1) S(1) = (a+1) (a-1)

S(3)  = (a+1) S(2) = (a+1) (a+1) (a-1)   = (a+1)^ (3-1) (a-1)

Hope I didn't screw something here!

Find the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 75 cubic feet and a base length of 5 feet.
Rudiy27

Answer:

9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin with the formula for the volume of a square pyramid.  If s is the base length, then the area of the base is s^2.  The volume of the pyramid is then V = (1/3)(base area)(height).  We know the volume and the base length (s), and want to find the height.  Solving V = (1/3)(base area)(height)

for height, we get:

3V = (base area)(height), or

    3V

---------------- = height

base area

Substituting 75 ft^3 for V and (5 ft)^2 for base area, we get:

               3(75 ft^3)              9 ft

height = ------------------ = ----------------- = 9 ft

                 25 ft^2                   1

Answer:

His extra pay would be of $79.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the clerk works regular 40 hour per week, then he has worked 6.25 extra (overtime) hours this week. Then his extra pay for overtime work would be:

6.25 times $12.75 = $79.69
