Answer:

453.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The argument of the summation symbol is recognizable as the general term of a geometric series with first term a1=4 and common ratio r=1.5. The indices on the summation symbol tell you that you want the sum of the first 10 terms of the series.

The general form of the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is ...

Sn = a1(r^n -1)/(r -1)

For the given values of a1 and r, this sum is ...

$S_{10}=4\cdot\dfrac{1.5^{10}-1}{1.5-1}=4\cdot\dfrac{57.6650390625-1}{0.5}\\\\\boxed{S_{10}\approx453.32}$

Sin ^6x-cos^6÷1-sin^2x*cos^2x=1-2cos^2x<br><br>

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

$\frac{\sin^{6} x-\cos^{6}x }{1-\sin^{2}x \cos^{2}x } =1-2\cos^{2} x$ proved.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to prove that $\frac{\sin^{6} x-\cos^{6}x }{1-\sin^{2}x \cos^{2}x } =1-2\cos^{2} x$

So, the left hand side = $\frac{\sin^{6} x-\cos^{6}x }{1-\sin^{2}x \cos^{2}x }$

= $\frac{(\sin^{2}x-\cos^{2} x )(\sin^{4} x+\cos^{4}x+\sin^{2}x \cos^{2}x) }{{1-\sin^{2}x \cos^{2}x }}$ {Since we have the formula $a^{3} -b^{3}= (a-b) (a^{2} +ab+b^{2} )$ }

= $\frac{(\sin^{2}x-\cos^{2} x )[(\sin^{2}x+\cos^{2}x )^{2}-2\sin^{2}x\cos^{2} x+ \sin^{2}x\cos^{2} x ]}{{1-\sin^{2}x \cos^{2}x }}$ {Since we have the formula $a^{2}+b^{2} = (a+b)^{2} -2ab$ }
