x = the unknown
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the first term of the series is 128
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as
Sn = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
Where
n represents the number of term in the sequence.
a represents the first term in the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
From the information given,
r = 1/4 = 0.25
n = 4
S4 = 170
Therefore, the expression for the sum of the 4 terms, S4 is
170 = a(1 - 0.25^4)/(1 - 0.25)
170 = a(1 - 0.00390625)/(1 - 0.25)
170 = a(0.99609375)/(0.75)
170 = 1.328125a
a = 170/1.328125
a = 128
Answer:
96cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide it into two rectangles: 7x8 and 10x(12-8), arriving at the solution of 7cm*8cm + 10cm*4cm = 56cm^2 + 40cm^2 = 96cm^2
We can also divide it into two rectangles: 12x7 + (12-8)x(10-7), arriving at 12cm*7cm + 4cm*3cm = 84cm^2 + 12cm^2 = 96cm^2
We could also divide it to one big rectangle and one "negative" rectangle of 10x12 and -8x(10-7), arriving at 10cm*12cm - 8cm*3cm = 120cm^2 - 24cm^2 = 96cm^2
The prime number is 53 because the others have factors other than itself and 1 but 53 doesn't
I believe that 95 isn't one of the measures
