How to find A1 in a geometric series for which sn= 105, r=-2 and n=6

Mathematics

Here we're discussing the "nth partial sum of a geom series."

                                                        1 - r^n
The formula for that is s(n) = a(1) --------------- 
                                                          1-r

We can subst. the given values and see where that takes us:

                   1 - (-2)^6        1 - 64
105 = a(1)*---------------- = ----------*a(1)  =  -21*a(1)
                     1-(-2)                3

                                               105
Solving this for a(1):  a(1) = --------- = -5    (answer)
                                               -21

harriet is cultivating a strain of bacteria has doubled by the end of every second hour. how many bacteria will harriet have in
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

n2^3 bacteria, n being the initial population.

Step-by-step explanation:

compound growth equation: P=n2^t

P is total population

n is initial population

t is time

since it doubles every second hour, and there are 6 hours

6hours/2hours= doubles 3 times, thats why t=3.

An urn contains 8 pink and 5 red balls. Six balls arerandomly drawn from the urn in succession, with replacement.That is, after
slega [8]

0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of balls in the urn is;

8 +  5 = 12

Because the pink balls are 8, then the probability of picking a pink ball from the urn is;

8/12

To get the probability that all 6 balls drawn from the urn are pink, we will use the AND probability rule of the mutually exclusive events which means we’ll multiply the probabilities of each of the six pink balls;

8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12

= 0.088

Find the derivative of y with respect to the appropriate variable<br> y=cos^-1(x^2)
Ksju [112]

Answer:

a. Practically speaking, you compute the differential in much the same way you compute a derivative via implicit differentiation, but you omit the variable with respect to which you are differentiating.

Aside: Compare this to what happens when you differentiate both sides with respect to some other independent parameter, say :

b. This is just a matter of plugging

What two numbers multiply to negative 54 and add up to 3
DENIUS [597]
The roots of 54 are: 1 and 54, 2 and 27, 3 and 18, 6 and 9, then it restarts all over again.

The two numbers have to multiply up to 54, and add up to 3. 9 and 6 have a difference of 3, and the multiplied sum is negative, so this is your pair.

9 and -6 fit this criteria, since they add up to 3 and multiply to 64.
