Answer: the first term of the series is 128
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as
Sn = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
Where
n represents the number of term in the sequence.
a represents the first term in the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
From the information given,
r = 1/4 = 0.25
n = 4
S4 = 170
Therefore, the expression for the sum of the 4 terms, S4 is
170 = a(1 - 0.25^4)/(1 - 0.25)
170 = a(1 - 0.00390625)/(1 - 0.25)
170 = a(0.99609375)/(0.75)
170 = 1.328125a
a = 170/1.328125
a = 128
The answer is SSA, that what I found
Answer: The width is: " 10 in. " .
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Consider a "rectangular prism".
________________________________________________
The formula for the Volume of a rectangular prism:
________________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
_________________________________________________
in which:
V = volume = 120 in.³ ;
L = length = 8 in.
w = width = ??
h = height = 1.5 in.
____________________________________________
We want to solve for "w" (width) ;
____________________________________________
Given the formula:
____________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
____________________________________________
Rewrite the formula; by dividing EACH SIDE of the equation by
"(L * h)" ; to isolate "w" on one side of the equation;
and to solve for "w" ;
_____________________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = ( L * w * h) / (L * h) ;
to get:
_________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = w ;
↔ w = V / (L * h) ;
_________________________________
Plug in our given values for "V", "L"; and "h"; to solve for "w" ;
____________________________________________________
→ w = (120 in.³) / (8 in. * 1.5 in.) ;
→ w = (120 in.³) / (12 in.²) ;
→ w = (120/12) in. = 10 in.

Slope = m
Equation to find slope is:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
2 points:
(4,-2) 4 = x1 and -2 = y1
(8,5) 8 = x2 and 5 = y2
So...
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (5 - (-2)) / (8 - 4)
m = 7 / 4 or 1.75
Therefore, the slope of the line is 7/4 OR 1.75.
36. If 7/11 did bring one, then 4/11 didn't. 4*9=36
