Answer:

S 5 = StartFraction one-third (1 minus (two-thirds) Superscript 5 Baseline) Over (1 minus two-thirds) EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric series:

1/3+2/9+4/27+8/81+16/243

First we must know that the series is a finite series with just 5terms.

Before we can know the formula to calculate sum of the first five terms of the series, we must determine its common ratio (r) first.

r = (2/9)÷1/3 = 4/27÷2/9= 8/81÷4/27

r = 2/9 × 3/1

r = 2/3

Similarly;

r = 4/27×9/2

r = 2/3

Since all values of r is the as them the common ratio is 2/3.

If r< 1 in geometric series, then the formula for finding its sum is applicable

Sn = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r

a is the first term = 1/3

r is the common ratio = 2/3

n is the number of terms = 5

Substituting the values in the formula we have:

S5 = 1/3{1-(2/3)^5}/1-2/3

This gives the requires equation

S 5 = StartFraction one-third (1 minus (two-thirds) Superscript 5 Baseline) Over (1 minus two-thirds) EndFraction

The population of city is 2500 if the number of males is 240 more than females how many males and females are there in the city?
Blizzard [7]
There are 1130 females. There are 1370 males. What I did was take 2500 and subtracted 240 from it. I got 2260 and then divided that number by 2 and got the number of females. Then I took that number and added 240 to it and got the number of males.

The rational number lies between −67/7 and−78/8
zheka24 [161]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   -135/14

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an infinite number of rational numbers between any pair of numbers you name. These two number have the decimal values ...

  -67/7 = -9 4/7 = -9.571428... (repeating)

  -78/8 = -9 3/4 = -9.75

So, numbers like -9.6 = -48/5, or -9.7 = -97/10 are rational numbers that lie in the range you specified.

If you like, you can convert these numbers to ones with a common denominator (56).

 -67/7 = -536/56

 -78/8 = -546/56

These limits suggest several possible rational numbers with 56 as a denominator: -540/56 = -135/14, for example.
