Find the sum of the first 25 terms in this geometric series:<br> 8 + 6 + 4.5...

Ksivusya [100]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

8 + 6 + 4.5...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio and is defined by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$

$\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4},\:\quad \frac{4.5}{6}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

$\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}$

$a_1=8$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:$

$a_n=8\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Geometric\:sequence\:sum\:formula:}$

$a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in\:the\:values:}$

$n=25,\:\spacea_1=8,\:\spacer=\frac{3}{4}$

$=8\cdot \frac{1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}}{1-\frac{3}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{\left(1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}\right)\cdot \:8}{1-\frac{3}{4}}$

$=\frac{8\left(-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}+1\right)}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^c=\frac{a^c}{b^c}$

$=\frac{8\left(-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}+1\right)}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}}=\frac{a\cdot \:c}{b}$

$=\frac{\left(1-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}\right)\cdot \:8\cdot \:4}{1}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\cdot \:4=32$

$=\frac{32\left(-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}+1\right)}{1}$

$=\frac{32\cdot \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}}{1}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Join}\:1-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}:\quad \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}$

$=32\cdot \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}$

$=\frac{\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)\cdot \:32}{4^{25}}$

$=\frac{2^5\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)}{2^{50}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Factor}\:32:\ 2^5$ , $\mathrm{Factor}\:4^{25}:\ 2^{50}$

so

$=\frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{2^{45}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)\cdot \:2^5}{2^{50}}:\quad \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{2^{45}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a\pm \:b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}$

$=\frac{4^{25}}{2^{45}}-\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}$

$=32-\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}$ ∵ $\frac{4^{25}}{2^{45}}=32$

$=32-0.024$ ∵ $\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}=0.024$

$=31.98$

Therefore, the sum of the first 25 terms in this geometric series: 31.98

You may remember that the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(W+L) where W is the width and L is the length.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Step-by-step explanation:

So, x=width and the width=13+L. The formula for perimeter is 2(L)+2(W) and the total perimeter in this question is 62 feet. That means 2(L)+2(13+L)=62 feet. Solve for L and that's going to be your length. Add the length plus 13 and you'll have the width. Double check the equation by plugging the width and length back into the equation. (Does that help?)

Directions: Number the distances from the shortest to the longest: 1 being the shortest distance and 5 being the longest. Justif

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: Number the distances from the shortest to the longest:

1. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

2. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

3. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet

4. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

5. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km

Solution:

To compare, all the distances must be in the same unit, for example feet.

a. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km

We must transform from km to feet:

385 km * (1,000 m / 1 km) * (100 cm / 1 m) * ( 1 in / 2.54 cm) * ( 1 feet / 12 in)=

(385*1,000*100*1*1)/(1*1*2.54*12) feet =

38,500,000/30.48 feet =

1,263,123.359 feet =

1,263,123 feet

b. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

We must transform cm to feet:

659,831 cm * ( 1 in / 2.54 cm) * ( 1 feet / 12 in)=

(659,831*1*1)/(2.54*12) feet =

659,831/30.48 feet =

21,647.99868 feet =

21,648 feet

c. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet

d. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

We must transform from inches to feet:

2,521,728 inches * ( 1 feet / 12 inches) =

(2,521,728*1) / 12 feet =

2,521,728/12 feet =

210,144 feet

e. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

We must transform from yards to feet:

161,920 yards * (3 feet / 1 yard) =

(161,920*3)/1 feet =

485,763 feet

Ordering the values in feet from the shortest to the longest:

21,648 feet < 210,144 feet < 446,160 feet < 485,763 feet < 1,263,123 feet

With the original units:

659,831 cm < 2,521,728 inches < 446,160 feet < 161,920 yards < 385 km

Then the order is:

1. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

2. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

3. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet

4. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

5. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km

Minnie has 4 different stamps. She needs 3 to mail a large letter. How many ways can she pick the 3 that will be used?

timurjin [86]

Number of ways of picking a smaller number out of a bigger number is called combination.
Number of way of picking 3 stamps out of 4 is 4C3 (4 combination 3) = 4! / (3! x (4 - 3)!) = 4! / (3! x 1!) = (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / (3 x 2 x 1 x 1) = 24 / 6 = 4 ways.
