A. Sigma notation
The formula for finding the nth value of the geometric series
is given as:
an = a1 * r^n
Where,
an = nth value of the series
<span>a1 = 1st value in the geometric series = 940</span>
r = common ratio = 1/5
n = nth order
The sigma notation for the sum of this infinite geometric
series is therefore,
(see attached photo)
B. Sum of the infinite geometric series
The formula for calculating the sum of an infinite
geometric series is given as:
<span>S = a1 / (1 – r)</span>
Substituting the given values:
S = 940 / (1 – 1/5)
<span>S = 1,175</span>
Answer:
75.2
Step-by-step explanation:
16 x 9.4 = 150.4 / 2 = 75.2
The number of student tickets sold is half the total plus half the difference:
student tickets = (603 +53)/2 = 656/2 = 328
The number of adult tickets is 53 fewer, 275.
The information from the first equation gives you the information needed for the second. To solve the first equation you must rearrange the equation to isolate X. In order to do that you can first move the 3 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides (5x + 3 - 3 = 4 - 3) and then simplify that to (5x = 4 - 3) and further to (5x = 1). Then to move the 5 you must divide both sides by 5 so you get (5x/5 = 1/5) which can be simplified to (x = 1/5)
From this you can use the X value and input it into the second equation
Y = -3(1/5) and then solve for Y.
Hope this helps!
