thmetic progression.
Progression P is 2,1, 1/2,1/4,...
Progression Q is 3,1,1/3,1/9,....

A. Find the sun to infinity of Progression R.
B. Given that the first term of R is 4, find the sun of the first three terms of R.

S= a(1-r ⁿ) /(1-r) & when r is < 1 & n →∞, the sum becomes S= a/(1-r)

Progression P is 2,1, 1/2,1/4,.. ==> r = 1/2
Sum of P when  n--> ∞ = 2/(1-1/2) ==> S =4

Progression Q is 3,1,1/3,1/9,....==> r = 1/3
Sum of Q when  n--> ∞ = 3/(1-1/3) ==> S =4.5

GIVEN THAT 4, 9/2 & X (to be calculated later is a geometric Progression, hence 9/2 - 4 = 0.5 =d (common difference , so X = 4.5+0.5 & X = 5

Sum of R =5 Then => 5=  4 /(1-r)  & r=1/5
Then the sum of R = 4/(1-1/5) ==> S of R =5

A tennis ball is in a cylindrical container. The ball has a radius of 5 inches and the cylinder has a height of 8 inches. How mu
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

104.7 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The ball has a radius of 5 inches and

the cylinder has a height of 8 inches

Step two:

The volume of the cylinder

v= \pi r^2 h

substitute our data

v= 3.142*5^2*8\\\\v=628.4in^3

The volume of the ball

v=4/3 \pi r^3

substitute our data

v= 4/3 *3.142*5^3\\\\v= 523.7 in^3

The space will have a volume of

=628.4-523.7

=104.7 in^3

You purchase a $220 Arline ticket. You have a discount code to receive 10% off. There is a 10.5% service charge added to the tot
antoniya [11.8K]
When you see % next to a number, you multiply it by .01.
10 becomes .1
10.5 becomes .105

220*.1=22, so this is the 10% off
220*.105=23.1, so this is the 10.5% service charge.

220-22+23.1=$221.10 for the ticket.

The graphs shown are of the form y = ax2. Which graph has the smallest value for a?
julia-pushkina [17]
y= x^{2} is a parabola (looks like the letter U).

The letter a represents the coefficient of x^{2} and it controls two things (1) how wide or narrow the parabola is and (2) whether it is concave up (like a U) or concave down (like an up-side-down).

The absolute value of a (the number without the sign) controls how wide or narrow it is. If the absolute value is a fraction less than 1 the graph gets wider. The smaller the absolute value of the fraction the wider the graph gets.

If the absolute value of a is greater than 1 the graph gets narrower (it gets skinnier). The bigger the absolute value the narrower the graph.

So, if all the graphs look like a U (concave up) then the one with the smallest a is the one that is the widest.

The a also controls whether the graph is concave up or concave down. If a is negative

If a is negative the graph is concave down so any graph that is concave down has a smaller value of a than any graph that is concave up. However, if the graph is concave down the one with the smallest a would be the most narrow one.

So to find the one with the smallest a...
If they are all concave up (like a U) pick the widest one
and
If they are not all concave up pick the narrowest one that is concave down (looks like an upside down U)

Mr. Townsend needs to make 13 pairs of butterfly wings for costumes for a play. Each pair of wings is made with ¾ yard of fabric
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pair of wings = 3/4 yard fabric

We know that 1 yard of fabric = $8

1 pair of wings = $8 x 3/4 = $6

Therefore total cost = $6 x 13 = $78
