$s(5) = \frac{243(1 - ( { \frac{1}{3})^{5} )} }{1 - \frac{1}{3} } = \frac{242}{ \frac{2}{3} } = 3 \times 121 = 363$

AfilCa [17]

25% percent
10/40 is also 1/4 simplified.
1/4 as a fraction is 25%, 25 times 4 equals 100.

<u>OR</u>

Use 1/4, but divide 1 by 4(fraction is also division)
You get 0.25
Turn this into a percent by moving the decimal point to the right 2 times.
The answer is 25%

Explain how an estimate helps you to place the decimal point when multiplying 3.9 times 5.3

Alborosie

3.9 * 5.3 ≈ 4 * 5

≈20

Well after doing your multiplication, you can place your decimal point by knowing that from estimation the answer is around 20.

So you can place your decimal point after the first two digits from the left.

The equation of line WX is 2x + y = -5. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that con

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The third choice is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign. Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:

2x + y = -5 so

y = -2x - 5

The slope is -2. That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2. Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y. Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:

$y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x-(-1))$
