ANSWER:

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We have the following expression:

In order to operate, we must first break the parentheses and then group similar terms, like this:
Answer:
The length of the shorter base of the little trapezoid trail is 1 mi.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shorter base of the large trapezoid is S and the larger base of the large trapezoid is L.
Similarly, assume that the shorter base of the small trapezoid is s and the larger base of the small trapezoid is l.
Since, the trapezoids are similar, so

Now, given that S = 2 mi, L = 8 mi and l = 4 mi and we have to find s.
So,
mi. (Answer)
Answer:
(a) 39,208
(b) 65%
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The car loses 10% the first year and 15% the second year so that’s 35% lost in total after two years.
35% of 60,320 is 21,112
60,320 - 21,112 = 39,208
39,208 ÷ 60,320 = 0.65 (65%)
Answer:
Answer: a5 = 2500
Step-by-step explanation:
For a geometric sequence:
First term = a0
Second term = a1 = a0*r
Third term = a2 = a0*r^2
Fourth term = a3 = a0*r^3
....
nth term = a(n-1) = a0*r^(n-1)
Given: a1 = 4 = a0*r
Also: r = 5
So, a0*5 = 4 => a0 = (4/5)
a5 = a(6-1) = Sixth term = a0*r^5 = (4/5)*5^5 = 2500
Hope this helps
correct me if im wrong☺
