Answer:

  • 71 in House of Representatives
  • 17 in Senate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...

  h + s = 88

  h - s = 54

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)

  2s = 34 . . . . . simplify

  s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation

There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.

The population of a type of local frog can be found using an infinite geometric series where a one equals 84 and the common rati
kodGreya [7K]
A=84 and r=1/5

Since r, the common ratio squared is less than one, the sum will converge to a limit.  Rule:  if  r^2<1 infinite series converges, otherwise it diverges.

Since the sum of any geometric sequence is:

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

And if r^2<1, (1-r^n) becomes 1-0=1 as n approaches infinity.

So whenever r^2<1 the sum of the infinite series is just:

s(n)=a/(1-r)

Since a=84 and r=1/5 this infinite series has a sum of:

s(n)=84/(1-1/5)

s(n)=84/(4/5)

s(n)=5(84)/4

s(n)=105
