<u>Hint </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
- Break the given sequence into two parts .
- Notice the terms at gap of one term beginning from the first term .They are like
. Next term is obtained by multiplying half to the previous term . - Notice the terms beginning from 2nd term ,
. Next term is obtained by adding 3 to the previous term .
<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
We need to find out the sum of 50 terms of the given sequence . After splitting the given sequence ,
.
We can see that this is in <u>Geometric</u><u> </u><u>Progression </u> where 1/2 is the common ratio . Calculating the sum of 25 terms , we have ,
Notice the term
will be too small , so we can neglect it and take its approximation as 0 .

Now the second sequence is in Arithmetic Progression , with common difference = 3 .
![\implies S_2=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%20S_2%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%5B2a%20%2B%20%28n-1%29d%5D%20)
Substitute ,
![\implies S_2=\dfrac{25}{2}[2(4) + (25-1)3] =\boxed{ 908}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%20S_2%3D%5Cdfrac%7B25%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%284%29%20%2B%20%2825-1%293%5D%20%3D%5Cboxed%7B%20908%7D%20)
Hence sum = 908 + 1 = 909
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost for trip = 290 + 50 + 95*5 =290+50+ 475 = $ 815
Savings = $143
Money needed = 815 - 143 = $ 672
No. of driveways = 672/48 = 14
14 driveways must she shovel to have enough money to pay for the trip.
Answer:
a) y=8
b) x= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
y/16= 2/4
y= 16 * 1/2 (cross multiply)
y= 8
b) x/5 = 36/20
x= 5 * 36/20 (cross multiply)
x= 9
