<span>Data:

infinite geometric series

A1 = 880

r = 1 / 4

The sum of a geometric series  in sigma notation is:

  n              1 - r^n
 ∑ Ai = A ----------- ; where A = A1
i = 1             1-r

 When | r | < 1 the infinite sum exists and is equal to</span><span><span>:

  ∞               A
 ∑ Ai =   ---------- ; where A = A1
i = 1          1 - r</span>

So, in this case</span><span><span>:

  ∞               880
 ∑ Ai =    -------------- = 4 * 880 / 3 = 3520 /3 = 1173 + 1/3
i = 1         1 - (1/4)</span>  </span>

Answer: 1173 and 1/3

If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:2 find the value of all triangle​
Nata [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of triangle = 3:4:2

Total ratio = 3+4+2 = 9

The sum of angle in a triangle is 180°

1st angle= 3/9 × 180 = 2 × 20 = 60°

2nd angle= 4/9 × 180 = 4 × 20 = 80°

3rd angle= 2/9 × 180 = 2 × 20 = 40°

If A(3,4) and B(10,4) are the end points of a diameter of circle "O", what is the area of the circle O
ikadub [295]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\dfrac{49\pi}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a circle:

A=\pi r^2

<em>r</em> - radius

We have the endpoints of a diameter of a circle.

The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substitute the coordinates of the given points A(3, 4) and B(10, 4):

d=\sqrt{(10-3)^2+(4-4)^2}=\sqrt{7^2+0^2}=\sqrt{7^2}=7

Therefore we have the length of the diameter: <em>d = 7</em>

We know: <em>d = 2r.</em> Therefore

r=\dfrac{7}{2}

Substitute to the formula of an area:

A=\pi\left(\dfrac{7}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{49\pi}{4}

<em>There is no such answer in the answers to choose.</em>

<em>Apparently you have some error in the coordinates of the endpoints.</em>

1. (10 points) Explain how to factor the following:
kap26 [50]

Answer:

A. 3m² + 4m + 1 = 0

3m² + 3m + m + 1 = 0

3m (m + 1) + 1 (m + 1) = 0

( 3m + 1 ) (m + 1) = 0

B. 16n - 25

16n = 25

n = 25/16
