108
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

Nikitich [7]

Answer: he saved $15

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush, but last week they were on sale at 2 for $8.50. This means that the amount that one would cost is

8.5/2 = $4.25

If Jim bought 20 rose bushes last week, it means that the amount that he paid for 20 rose bushes is

20 × 4.25 = $85

The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush. If he had bought at the regular price, the amount that he would have paid is

5 × 20 = $100

Therefore, the amount saved by the bushes on sale is

100 - 85 = $15

Write problem out please
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

21.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

y = Ax² + Bx + C

Set the origin at the middle of the span so that the point (0, 0) is on the curve

0 = A(0)² + B(0) + C  means C = 0

The points (200, 85) and (-200, 85) are on the curve

85 = A(200)² + B(200)

85 = A(-200)² + B(-200)

85 - 40000A - B(200) = 85 - 40000A + B(200)

                      - B(200) = B(200)

                         -400B = 0

                                 B = 0

85 = A(200)²

A = 85/40000

y = 85x²/40000

y = 85(100)²/40000 = 21.25 m
