Answer: -11

Step-by-step explanation:

+(-8) can be simplified to -8 because when you multiply a positive sign by a negative sign, the outcome is a negative sign. So your problem is -3-8= and the answer is -11 because when two numbers with the same sign are subtracted/added by each other, the numbers just get added and the sign stays the same. If you're still confused, use a number line. Hope this helps!

Greg feeds his dog 2/3 pounds of dog food for each meal. Greg has just bought 18 pounds of dog food. For how many meals will the

yan [13]

We can divide 18 pounds by 2/3 pounds to find how many servings of meals the dogs will have.
We will use the keep change flip rule to solve this.
18 / 2/3 is then the same as 18 x 3/2
We then multiply across to get
54/2
This would be 27 meals that the food will last

Which is closest to the value of w in the triangle below?

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: B. 2.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right angle triangle,

the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle is the unknown side.

With m∠32 as the reference angle,

the adjacent side of the right angle triangle is 4 in

the opposite side of the right angle triangle is w

To determine w, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 32 = w/4

w = 4tan32 = 4 × 0.625

w = 2.5 in

Let

$S_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n r^k = 1 + r + r^2 + \cdots + r^n$

where we assume |r| < 1. Multiplying on both sides by r gives

$r S_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n r^{k+1} = r + r^2 + r^3 + \cdots + r^{n+1}$

and subtracting this from $S_n$ gives

$(1 - r) S_n = 1 - r^{n+1} \implies S_n = \dfrac{1 - r^{n+1}}{1 - r}$

As n → ∞, the exponential term will converge to 0, and the partial sums $S_n$ will converge to

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} S_n = \dfrac1{1-r}$

Now, we're given

$a + ar + ar^2 + \cdots = 15 \implies 1 + r + r^2 + \cdots = \dfrac{15}a$

$a^2 + a^2r^2 + a^2r^4 + \cdots = 150 \implies 1 + r^2 + r^4 + \cdots = \dfrac{150}{a^2}$

We must have |r| < 1 since both sums converge, so

$\dfrac{15}a = \dfrac1{1-r}$

$\dfrac{150}{a^2} = \dfrac1{1-r^2}$

Solving for r by substitution, we have

$\dfrac{15}a = \dfrac1{1-r} \implies a = 15(1-r)$

$\dfrac{150}{225(1-r)^2} = \dfrac1{1-r^2}$

Recalling the difference of squares identity, we have

$\dfrac2{3(1-r)^2} = \dfrac1{(1-r)(1+r)}$

We've already confirmed r ≠ 1, so we can simplify this to

$\dfrac2{3(1-r)} = \dfrac1{1+r} \implies \dfrac{1-r}{1+r} = \dfrac23 \implies r = \dfrac15$

It follows that

$\dfrac a{1-r} = \dfrac a{1-\frac15} = 15 \implies a = 12$

and so the sum we want is

$ar^3 + ar^4 + ar^6 + \cdots = 15 - a - ar - ar^2 = \boxed{\dfrac3{25}}$

which doesn't appear to be either of the given answer choices. Are you sure there isn't a typo somewhere?

Which letter has at least one line of symmetry? a.D b.J c.G d.L

iren2701 [21]

The correct answer is A. D

That is because D has a horizontal line of symmetry, as can be seen on it.
