<u>Hint </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Break the given sequence into two parts .
  • Notice the terms at gap of one term beginning from the first term .They are like \dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8} . Next term is obtained by multiplying half to the previous term .
  • Notice the terms beginning from 2nd term , 4,7,10,13 . Next term is obtained by adding 3 to the previous term .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

We need to find out the sum of 50 terms of the given sequence . After splitting the given sequence ,

\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8} .

We can see that this is in <u>Geometric</u><u> </u><u>Progression </u> where 1/2 is the common ratio . Calculating the sum of 25 terms , we have ,

\implies S_1 = a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \\\\\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\left[ \dfrac{1-\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{25}}{1-\dfrac{1}{2}}\right]

Notice the term \dfrac{1}{2^{25}} will be too small , so we can neglect it and take its approximation as 0 .

\implies S_1\approx \cancel{ \dfrac{1}{2} } \left[ \dfrac{1-0}{\cancel{\dfrac{1}{2} }}\right]

\\\implies \boxed{ S_1 \approx 1 }

\rule{200}2

Now the second sequence is in Arithmetic Progression , with common difference = 3 .

\implies S_2=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]

Substitute ,

\implies S_2=\dfrac{25}{2}[2(4) + (25-1)3] =\boxed{ 908}

Hence sum = 908 + 1 = 909

The equation of a circle is (x – 3)2 +(+8)2 = 36. Relative to the standard equation of a circle (zº+y? = r?), how has
Zolol [24]

Answer:

A. The circle has been shifted 3 units to the right and 8 units down, r=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Given that the equation is (x-3)^2+(y+8)^2=36, this tells us that the center of the circle is at (h,k)\rightarrow(3,-8) and the radius is r=6. Since the value of h represents the amount of horizontal shift from the origin and k represents the amount of vertical shift from the origin, then the circle was shifted 3 units to the right and 8 units down.
