You sometimes need to rewrite a factor because the lead number is not between 1 and 10 as it needs to be in scientific notation. For instance, if we had lead numbers of 2 and 5, as we do in the following problem.
2x10^3 * 5x10^9
Then we get the answer of 10x10^12. We need to adjust this by moving the decimal place and increasing the exponent by 1. The correct answer would be 1x10^13 instead.
The volumes will be the same, because the heights are equal and the cross-sectional areas at every level parallel to the bases are also equal.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The formula to find the sum is equal to
where
a1 is the first term
an is the last term
n is the number of terms
In this problem we have
substitute the values in the formula
