We are given with
a1 = 2
r = 4
These are components of a geometric series. The first term is 2 and the common ratio is 4. To get the first six terms, we use the formula:
an = a1 r^(n-1)
a1 = 2 (4)^(1-1) = 2
a2 = 2 (4)^(2-1) = 8
a3 = 2 (4)^(3-1) = 32
a4 = 2 (4)^(4-1) = 128
a5 = 2 (4)^(5-1) = 512
a6 = 2 (4)^(6-1) = 2048
Add 10 to both sides. X is 2. A.
Write the conjugates of them then FOIL both the top and bottom, then factor
The answer is 5 gallons
Its very simple.
Turn 60% and 10% into decimals ( .60 and .10)
Multiply 8 gallons ( brand A ) by .60 and you get 4.8 gallons
Multiply 2 gallons ( brand B ) by .10 and you get .2 gallons
Add them up and you get 5 gallons.
