Answer:
<em>x = 1 and -2</em>
<em>Sum of the first ten terms = 1,398,100</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the geometric progression 2x+2, 16, 64x...
Since they are in GP, their common ratio is expressed as;
16/2x+2 = 64x/16
16/2(x+1) = 4x
8/x+1 = 4x
Cross multiply
4x(x+1) = 8
4x²+4x = 8
4x²+4x - 8 = 0
divide through by 4
x²+x - 2 = 0
Factorize
x²+2x-x- 2 = 0
x(x+2)-1(x+2) = 0
(x-1)(x+2) = 0
x = 1 and -2
Hence the values of x are 1 and -2
Get the common ratio;
r = 16/2x+2
Since x = 1
r = 16/2(1)+2
r = 16/4
r = 4
Sum of the first n terms is expressed as;
Sn = a(rⁿ-1)/r-1
a = 2x+2
a = 2(1)+2
a = 4
Substitute;
S10 = 4(4^10 - 1)/4 - 1
S10 = 4(1,048,576-1)/3
S10 = 4,194,300/3
S10 = 1,398,100
Hence the sum of the first ten terms is 1,398,100
Answer:
{x + y= 239
{15x + 5.50y = 2758.50
Step-by-step explanation:
x = adults y = children and the total amount of people is 239.
$15 for adults and $5.50 for children and the total cost equals $2758.50.
Answer:
models
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimate too large
estimate first
the estimate is too large.
bring down the next digit.
2.25c+1.5m context is that 2.25c represents the price of selling bags of cookies, hint the c. 1.5m represents the price of selling muffins, hint the m. In whole the equation represent the amount of money the bake sale would make minus the $25 donation.
