Answer:

x = 17/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number

8x-14 = 4x+3

Subtract 4x from each side

8x -14-4x = 4x+3-4x

4x-14 = 3

Add 14 to each side

4x-14+14 = 3+14

4x = 17

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 17/4

x = 17/4

Find the sum of the series 9+3+1+........+1/27​
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

364/27

Step-by-step explanation:

9, 3, 1, ... is a geometric sequence with common ratio r = 1/3.

 

The nth term is a1rn-1.

 

If a1rn-1 = 1/27, then 9(1/3)n-1 = 1/27

 

                                32(3-1)n-1 = 3-3

 

                                3231-n = 3-3

 

                                    33-n = 3-3

 

                                      3-n = -3

 

                                         n = 6

 

The sum, Sn, of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is given by Sn = a1(1 - rn) / (1 - r).

 

So, 9 + 3 + 1 + ... + 1/27 = S6 = 9(1 - (1/3)6) / (1 - 1/3)

 

                                              = 9(1 - 1/729) / (2/3)

 

                                              = (27/2)(728/729) = 364/27

The base of a hexagonal prism has an area of 96 square inches. The height of the prism is 9 inches. Find the volume of the prism
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The volume of the prism is <em>864</em><em> </em><em>inches</em><em>^</em><em>3</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic formula for the volume of a prism is:

V = Ah

where:

V = Volume of prism

A = Area of uniform cross-section or base of prism = 96 inches^2

h = Perpendicular height of prism = 9 inches

Substitute the values given in the question into the formula.

V = 96 × 9

V = 864 inches^3

Simplify the following:
(5 i^3 t^4)/7 - 2
i^3 = i^2×i = (-1) i = -i:
(5×-i t^4)/7 - 2
Put each term in (5 (-i) t^4)/7 - 2 over the common denominator 7:
(5 (-i) t^4)/7 - 2 = (-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7:
(-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7
(-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7 = (-5 i t^4 - 14)/7:
Answer:  (-5 i t^4 - 14)/7

What is the mean of this data set? {14, 7, 2, 8, 3} Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.
Assoli18 [71]

The mean of the data set is 6.8.

<h3>What is the mean?</h3>

Mean is the average value of the given set of observations. In statistics, we also come across different types of mean such as Arithmetic, Geometric and Harmonic mean.

Given

The data set is 14, 7, 2, 8, 3.

The mean of the data set is given by;

\rm Mean = \dfrac{Sum \ of \ all \ data}{Number \ of \ data}\\\\Mean =\dfrac{14+7+2+8+3}{5}\\\\Mean = \dfrac{34}{5}\\\\Mean=6.8

Hence, the mean of the data set is 6.8.
