a_1=-5;\ r=3;\ a_n=-405\\\\a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\\\\subtitute\\\\-5\cdot3^{n-1}=-405\ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-5)\\\\3^{n-1}=81\\\\3^{n-1}=3^4\iff n-1=4\to n=5\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\\\S_5=\dfrac{-5(1-3^5)}{1-3}=\dfrac{-5(1-243)}{-2}=\dfrac{5\cdot(-242)}{2}=5\cdot(-121)=-605\\\\\\Answer:\boxed{S_5=-605}

5. The length of a rectangular swimming pool is 50 yards, and the width of the pool is 16
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The answer is C. I got this by doing a^2 + b^2= c^2. 50^2 + 16^2=c^2, 2500 + 256 = c^2, 2756 = c^2, then you take the square root of 2756 and that gives you your answer 52.50 yards. Hope this helps :D

Given the function f(x)=4|x-5|+3 for what values of x is f(x)=15
Andreyy89

Answer:

  {2, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find x for ...

  15 = 4|x -5| +3

  12 = 4|x -5| . . . . subtract 3

  3 = |x -5| . . . . . . divide by 4

  ±3 = x -5 . . . . . . show the meaning of absolute value

  5 ±3 = x = {2, 8} . . . . . add 5

The values of x for which f(x) = 15 are 2 and 8.
