You need two sides so you can rewrite it as:
2x = 70-(14+32)
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12

The height is 12in.

Answer:

$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = 15/8$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum you are trying to understand is this.

$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n}$

Remember that in general when you have a geometric series

$\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n$ you have that

$\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n = \frac{a}{1-r}$ and that equality is true as long as $|r| < 1$ .

Therefore here we have

$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{3*5} \big)^n = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n$ and $\big|\frac{-1}{15} \big| = \frac{1}{15} < 1$

Therefore we can use the formula and

$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n = \frac{2}{1-(-1/15)} = \frac{2}{1+1/15} = 30/16 = 15/8$

jake makes 9 loaves of olive bread. he uses 30 grams of olives in each loaf.he started with 1 kilogram of olives.how many grams

8090 [49]

Considering that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams and he made 9 loaves of bread using 30 grams each time, that equates to 270 grams of olives. 1000 - 270 = 730. Your answer is 730 grams of olives remain. Hope this helped.
