Answer:

  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate terms have a sum of zero:

  i^n +i^(n+2) = (i^n)(1 +i^2) = (i^n)(1 -1) = 0

So, the sum to i^256 is zero, and i^257 +i^259 = 0. The value of the sum is then i^258 = i^(258 mod 4) = i^2 = -1

The given expression evaluates to -1.

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that i+i^2+i^3+i^4 = i-1-i+1 = 0, and this means that every 4 terms, the terms cancel to 0. Therefore, by taking modulo 4, we only need to find i^{257}+i^{258}+i^{259} = i-1-i = -1 since $i$ has a cycle of 4.

A team is selling pop corn for a fundraiser. The first week, they sell 500 bags. The second week, they sell 50% more than the fi
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The percentage decrease from the first week to the third week is 25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of popcorn bags sold on the first week = 500 bags

The second week, they sell 50% more than the first week

So, the number of bags sold on the second week is

= 500 + 50% of 500

=500 +  \frac{50}{100}  \times 500

= 500 + 0.5 \times 500

= 500 + 250

= 750 bags

The third week, they sold 50% less than the second week

So, the number of bags sold on the third week is

=  750 - 50% of 750

= 750 - \frac{50}{100} \times 750

= 750 -0.5 \times 750

= 750 - 375

= 375 bags

Now the percentage decrease from the first week to the third week is

=\frac{500 - 375}{500} \times 100

= \frac{125}{500} \times 100

= 0.25  \times 100

= 25 %
