Answer:

12.496

Step-by-step explanation:

a=10 (first term)

r= 1/5 (common ratio)

sum of first five terms

s_{5} =  \frac{a( 1 -  {r}^{n} ) }{1- r}

=10{1-⅕⁵} ÷ 1-⅕

=10{1 - 1/3125} ÷ 4/5

=10{3124/3125} ÷ 4/5

=9.9968÷0.8

=12.496.

OR

a+ar+ar²+ar³+ar⁴

=10+(10x⅕)+(10x⅕²)+(10x⅕³)+(10x⅕⁴)

=10+2+0.4+0.08+0.016

=12+0.48+0.016

=12.496

Answer:

a 1 = 10

a 2 = 10 * 1/5 = 2

a 3 = 2 * 1/5 = 2/5

a 4 = 2/5 * 1/5 = 2/25

a 5 = 2/25 * 1/5 = 2/125

S 5 = a 1 + a 2 + a 3 +a 4 + a 5= 10 + 2 + 2/5 + 2/25 + 2/125 =

= 1250/125 + 250/125 + 50/125 + 10/125 + 2/125 = <u> 1562 / 125</u>

HELP !!! Evaluate f(-2) for the function f(x) = 3x2 + 2x - 5
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

f(x)=3x^2+2x-5

To evaluate the value of f(-2), substitute -2 for x. Thus:

f(-2)=3(-2)^2+2(-2)-5

Square first:

f(-2)=3(4)+2(-2)-5

Multiply:

f(-2)=12-4-5

Now, subtract:

f(-2)=8-5=3

So:

f(-2)=3

And we're done!

A game normally cost $53.00, but Isabel used a coupon and got the game for $37.10. The coupon was for what percent off.
Artist 52 [7]
We could use the numbers and the difference of the original cost - the end price in a equation.

53 × x/100 = 15.9

Cross multiply 100 × 15.9.

53x=1590

Divide both sides by 53.

x=30

The coupon was 30%

Evaluate 13 - 0.75w+8x when w=12 and x= 1 over 2
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

13 - 0.75w + 8x

where,

w = 12

x = 1/2

13 - 0.75w + 8x

Substitute the value of w and x into the equation

= 13 - 0.75(12) + 8(1/2)

= 13 - 9 + 8/2

= 13 - 9 + 4

= 8

Therefore,

13 - 0.75w + 8x = 8
