The sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence given the first term (a1) and the common ratio (r) is calculated through the equation,
<span>Sn </span>= (<span><span><span>a1</span>(1−<span>r^n</span>) / (</span><span>1−r)
Substituting the known terms,
Sn = (20)(1 - (1/4)^4)) / (1 - 1/4)
Sn = 26.5625
Thus, the sum of the first four terms is 26.5625. </span></span>
As given m is a midpoint of ab. So am is half of ab.
So we can write

As given am = 3x+3 , ab = 8x - 6.
So





So x = 6.
So length of am = 3x+3 = 3*6 + 3 = 21
16 1/10
Because you have 15 and then for 22/20 it is a improper fraction so take 20 away from it to get 2/10 then add 1 to 15 for 16 and then simplify 2/20 to 1/10
Answer: Choice B) The expression (10-2x)(30-2x)x represents the volume of the box
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
The original width is 10 inches. The width reduces to 10-2x inches after we cut off the top two corners of the rectangle. We can think of it as taking 10 and subtracting off two copies of x like so: 10-x-x = 10-2x
Similarly, the length goes from 30 inches to 30-2x inches. This time we're taking off the top and bottom corners (focus on either side it doesn't matter).
The height of the box is x inches due to this portion being folded up.
Volume of box = (width)*(length)*(height)
Volume of box = (10-2x)(30-2x)x
Note: the units for the answer are in cubic inches which can be written as "in^3" (inches cubed).
Answer:
19, because it wouldn't be close to becoming a whole.
