A finite geometric series is the sum of a sequence of numbers. Take the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, … , for example. Notice that each n

umber is twice the value of the previous number. So, a number in the sequence can be represented by the function f(n) = 2n–1. One way to write the sum of the sequence through the 5th number in the sequence is ∑5n-12n-1. This equation can also be written as S5 = 20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24. If we multiply this equation by 2, the equation becomes 2(S5) = 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25. What happens if you subtract the two equations and solve for S5? Can you use this information to come up with a way to find any geometric series Sn in the form ∑an-1bn-1?PLEEEEEESE help

How to solve <br> 3+5x=20+7x
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

3 + 5x = 20 + 7x

First subtract 20 to both sides

-17 + 5x = 7x

Next subtract 5x to both sides (we are trying to get x all in one side)

-17 = 2x

Divide 2 to isolate the x

-17/2 = x or -8.5 = x

X is all of the following except<br> a term<br> a variable<br> a constant<br> an expression
AlladinOne [14]
The answer would be D since x alone cannot form an expression. It can however be a term, variable, and a constant, because those all need another number to form a formal question.

Answer:

8 inch is your best buy

Step-by-step explanation:

8inch diameter =10 dollars

5 inch radius = 12 dollars

I'm horrible at this so can I please get help, the rest says "solve for a. a=
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

a = \sqrt{63}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

a² + 9² = 12²

a² + 81 = 144 ( subtract 81 from both sides )

a² = 63 ( take square root of both sides )

a = \sqrt{63}

Together teammates pedro and ricky got 2685 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more than ricky. How many hits did each player
Ksju [112]
Let x be the number of base hits Ricky got. With this representation, the number of base hits Pedro got is x + 277. The sum of their number of hits is equal to 2685. The equation that best represent the scenario is,
                                   x + x + 277 = 2685
The value of x is 1204. Therefore, Ricky got 1204 and Pedro got 1481.
