Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is

Sn = s1(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)

with r being the common ratio and s1 is the first term.

so,

S15 = 7×(1 - (-3)¹⁵)/(1 - -3) = 7×(1 - -14,348,907)/4 =

= 7×14,348,908/4 = 7×3,587,227 = 25,110,589

An auto travels at a rate of 25 km/hr for 4 minutes, then at 50 km/hr for 8 minutes, and finally at 20 km/hr for 2 minutes. find
ankoles [38]

We know that the formula for calculating distance is:

distance d = velocity v * time t

 

Calculating for each interval:

 

1: 25 km/hr for 4 minutes

d1 = (25 km / 60 min) (4 min) = 1.67 km

 

2: 50 km/hr for 8 minutes

d2 = (50 km / 60 min) (8 min) = 6.67 km

 

3: 20 km/hr for 2 minutes

d2 = (20 km / 60 min) (2 min) = 0.67 km

 

The total distance covered is:

d = d1 + d2 + d3

d = 1.67 + 6.67 + 0.67

d = 9 km

 

The average speed is:

s = 9 km (1000 m / km) / (14 min * 60 s / min)

s = 10.72 m / s

Use the​ power-reducing formulas to rewrite the expression as an equivalent expression that does not contain powers of trigonome
Delicious77 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) = {[1 - cos (2x)]/2}*{[1 + cos (2x)]/2}

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =[ 1 - cos^2 (2x)]/4

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) = (1/4) - (1/4) * cos^2 (2x)

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =  (1/4) - (1/4) * {[1 + cos (2*2x)]/2}

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =  (1/4) - (1/8) * [1 + cos (4x)]

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =  (1/4) - (1/8) - (1/8)* [cos (4x)]

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =  (1/8) - (1/8)* [cos (4x)]
