Answer:

The sum is 493.4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of the sum, you have to apply the geometric series formula, which is:

\sum_{i=1}^{n} ar^{i-1} = \frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r}

where i is the starting point, n is the number of terms, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The finite geometric series converges to the expression in the right side of the equation. Therefore, you don't need to calculate all the terms. You can use the expression directly.

In this case:

a=40

b= 1.005

n=12 (because the first term is 40 and the last term is 40(1.005)^11 )

Replacing in the formula:

\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r} = \frac{40(1-1.005^{12})}{1-1.005}

Solving it:

The sum is 493.4

angle and angle b are complentary angles. if angle a = (2x-5) and m angle b = (5x+4) then find the measure of angle a
iris [78.8K]

complementary angles = 90

2x-5 + 5x+4 = 90

combine like terms

7x-1 =90

7x = 91

divide by 7

x =13

angle a

2x-5

2*13-5

26-5

21

Angle a: 21

A student claims that the expression “9 times the sum of a number and 13" is translated to the algebraic expression 9n + 13. Is
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

No, the student is not correct. The correct expression is 9(n+13).

Step-by-step explanation:

"9 times the sum of a number and 13" means you must multiply 9 by the sum, not just by the number. 9n + 13 would be "the sum of 9 times a number and 13." Slightly different wording.
