Explanation:
In any geometric series, we need two pieces of information to find its sum to the
n
-th term, and thus the sum to infinity.
Firstly, we need the first term,
a
. This is obviously
36
in this expression.
Secondly, we need the common ratio,
r
,. We find this by taking 24/36 =2/3
Thus a =36 and r =2/3 . also note that
(R) =2/3 <1

We then apply the formula for sum of geometric series to the
n -th term when (r) <1 : Sn =a(1 -rn ) / 1-r = 36 ( 1 - (2/3 ) n) / 1 -(2/3)
=108 (1 -(2/3) n)
The sum to infinity s ♾ is defined to be the limit of sn as n - ♾
N- ♾,(2/3) n -0.sn -108 -0 =108
S ♾ =108

Shelly is 3 years older than Michele. Four years ago the sum of their age was 67. Find the age of each person.
lawyer [7]

total of ages now is 67 + 4 + 4 = 75

S=shelly

M= Michelle

Michelle is 3 yrs younger than Shelly so use S-3

S +M = 75

replace M with S-3 to get:

S +S-3=75

2S=78

s=39

So shelly is 39

Michelle is 3 years younger = 39-3 = 36

Question 16 (1 point) An object is thrown from the top of a building. The following data measure the height of the object from t
Archy [21]

Using a calculator, inserting the values of x and y, the correlation coefficient for the given data-set is of -0.9422.

<h3>How to find the correlation coefficient of a data-set?</h3>

Using a calculator, the correlation coefficient is found inserting the ordered pairs (x,y) in the calculator.

In this problem, we have that:

  • The values of x are: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5.
  • The values of y are: 112.5, 110.875, 106.8, 100.275, 91.3, 79.875, 70.083, 59.83, 30.65, 0.

Hence, using a calculator, the correlation coefficient is of -0.9422.

Help please ASAP!! thanks i’ll give brainliest

I believe x=25 and y=10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we know the angles in a parallelogram add up to 360 degrees, we can add up values and divide to find x and y. 8y and 4x-20 are supplementary, they must equal the same value. Same with 10y and the other corner. By this, we can do 10y times 2 and 8y times 2 to get 16y plus 20y, or 36y. Then, we divide 360 degrees by 36. We get y=10 from this. Plug in 10 to 8y and get 80 as the upper left angle measurement. This means that 4x-20 equals 80. Add 20 to 80 on both sides so it cancels out and you get 100=4x. Simply divide and you will get x=25. To make sure this is right, plug all the numbers in and make sure all of the angles add up to 360. Hope this helps :)
