Answer:

The answer is 189.

Step-by-step explanation:

This geometric sequence is actually just a division of 2 for every term downwards. Therefore, we can see the first term is 48 \cdot 2 which is 96. Hence, we can work our way down from there:

<u>List:</u>

First term: 96

Second term: 48

Third term: 24

Fourth term: 12

Fifth term: 6

Sixth term: 3

Now, all we have to do is to add all the first 6 terms together to get:

96 + 48 + 24 + 12 + 6 + 3

= 189

The answer is 189.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=4\pm2\sqrt6}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-6x+12=2x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{and}\ 12\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2-8x=8\\\\x^2-2(x)(4)=8\qquad\text{add}\ 4^2=16\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2=8+4^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-4)^2=24\iff x-4=\pm\sqrt{24}\\\\x-4=\pm\sqrt{4\cdot6}\\\\x-4=\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt6\\\\x-4=\pm2\sqrt6\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\x=4\pm2\sqrt6

A copy machine makes 24 copies per minute. how many copies does it make in 5 minutes and 30 seconds
enot [183]
In 1 minute the copy machine copies = 24
That means
In 60 seconds the copy machine copies = 24
First we need to convert 5 minutes and 30 seconds to seconds
Then
5 minutes and 30 seconds = (5 * 60) + 30
                                           = 300 + 30
                                           = 330 seconds
So
In 330 seconds the copy machine will copy = (24/60) * 330
                                                                     = 4 * 33
                                                                     = 132
So in 5 minutes and 30 seconds the copy machine will copy 132 copies.

This can be solve easily by using a theorem of Bayes 
0.37/0.55 = .67 or 67%
