<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

Solve the system of equations: y= x^2 + 2x - 3 and y=3x+ 3.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

(-2, -3)

(3, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we're gonna get rid of the y's with substitution

x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3

Let's make this equation equal to zero

Subtract 3 from both sides

x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3

            - 3         - 3

x² + 2x - 6 = 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides

x² + 2x - 6 = 3x

    - 3x        - 3x

x² - x - 6 = 0

Factor the equation

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

This means x can be -2 or 3

Let's solve it with -2 first, plug the new x in y = 3x + 3

y = 3(-2) + 3

y = -6 + 3 = -3

Do the same for x = 3

y = 3(3) + 3

y = 9 + 3 = 12

On Saturday, you bowl at Mar vista Bowl, where renting shoes costs $2 and each game bowled is $3.50. On Sunday, you bowl at Pinz
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

  • 12 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games is g

<u>Total cost at Mar Vista:</u>

  • 3.5g + 2

<u>Total cost at Pinz:</u>

  • 3.25g + 5

<u>Since same amount spent in both places, we have:</u>

  • 3.5g + 2 = 3.25g + 5
  • 3.5g - 3.25 = 5 - 2
  • 0.25g = 3
  • g = 3/0.25
  • g = 12
