Answer:

Linda earned 2 points on 14 turns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Linda has played 16 turns and has obtained 34 points, taking into account that in each turn she can obtain 2 or 3 points, to determine the number of turns in which she obtained 2 points, the following table must be performed:

-If in 16 turns she obtained 2 points, the total points will be 32

-If in 15 turns she obtained 2 points and in 1 turn she obtained 3 points, the total points will be 33

-If in 14 turns she obtained 2 points and in 2 turns she obtained 3 points, the total of points will be 34

Therefore, Linda scored 2 points in 14 of the 16 turns played.

What is the first year after 2018 that is a palindrome?
blondinia [14]
So a palindrome is a word or number that spells the same thing forwards and backward (e.g. tacocat, racecar, 101, 262) Palindrome years occur every 110 years (except at the end of the millennium, in which it is only 11 years). The last one happened in 2002, so the next one won't occur until 2112. Maybe some of us will live to see it!

You would set up a proportion 6/4 = 30/x you then can do what i call the fish and multiply 30 by 4 and the divide by 6 which will give you x which your answer is 20

14. The height of an office building is 114.425 meters. The height of an art museum if 114.58 meters. Which statement correctly
guapka [62]
114.425<114.58 because 425<580.

The easiest way to reach this solution is to look at the numbers. Everything before the decimal point is the same, but the first digit after the place holder differs, one is four tenths and the other is 5 tenths. 4 is less than 5 making the first statement the correct one!

What is the sum of the geometric series
lbvjy [14]
If S denotes the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series with first term a and common ratio r, then

S=a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-3}+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}
rS=ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}+ar^n
\implies S-rS=a+(ar-ar)+(ar^2-ar^2)+\cdots+(ar^{n-1}-ar^{n-1})-ar^n
\implies (1-r)S=a(1-r^n)
\implies S=a=\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}

Using summation notation, you have

S=\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^nar^{x-1}=\sum_{x=0}^{n-1}ar^x=a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}

In this case, you have a=2, r=\dfrac12, and n=16. So the value of the sum is

\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^{15}2\left(\frac14\right)^x=2\dfrac{1-\left(\frac14\right)^{16}}{1-\frac14}\approx2.67

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer would be 3.
