<h3>
Answer: 21x+14 (choice A)</h3>
Explanation:
Use the distribution rule to multiply the outer 7 by each term inside
- 7 times 3x = 21x
- 7 times 2 = 14
We go from 7(3x+2) to 21x+14
<h3>
Answer: 375</h3>
=========================================
Work Shown:
a = 300 = first term
r = 60/300 = 0.2 = common ratio
We multiply each term by 0.2, aka 1/5, to get the next term.
Since -1 < r < 1 is true, we can use the infinite geometric sum formula below
S = a/(1-r)
S = 300/(1-0.2)
S = 300/0.8
S = 375
----------
As a sort of "check", we can add up partial sums like so
- 300+60 = 360
- 300+60+12 = 360+12 = 372
- 300+60+12+2.4 = 372+2.4 = 374.4
- 300+60+12+2.4+0.48 = 374.4+0.48 = 374.88
and so on. The idea is that each time we add on a new term, we should be getting closer and closer to 375. I put "check" in quotation marks because it's probably not the rigorous of checks possible. But it may give a good idea of what's going on.
----------
Side note: If the common ratio r was either r < -1 or r > 1, then the terms we add on would get larger and larger. This would mean we don't approach a single finite value with the infinite sum.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:It must be an equal ratio- 2:3:7 = n:n:112
Now, to find the other numbers (n) in the ratio, we have to find the relationship between the two proportions.
To get from 7 to 112, we must multiply by 16. This is the relationship.
So, we must multiply both, the walnut and raisin cookies by 16 also.
2 x 16 = 32 = Raisin
3 x 16 = 48 = Walnut
Already known: 112 = Pinwheel
Now that we have all the data, we can make the ratio.
Raisin : Walnut : Pinwheel
32 : 48 : 112
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Can't really expand x and 0, so I guess it would just be x * 0
