Find S18 for geometric series given a5=-6 and a2= -48

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
3 0

an = a1r^(n-1)

a5 = a1 r^(5-1)

-6 =a1 r^4


a2 = a1 r^(2-1)

-48 = a1 r


divide

-6 =a1 r^4

----------------    yields   1/8 = r^3      take the cube root  or each side

-48 = a1 r                     1/2 = r


an = a1r^(n-1)

an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)

-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1

divide by 1/2

-96 = a1


an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)


the sum

Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]

S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]

       =-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]

      = 192 * [-131071/131072]

 approximately -192

What is the volume of a hemisphere that
ch4aika [34]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the diameter of the hemisphere is 12.6 cm

The radius of the hemisphere is given by

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{12.6}{2}=6.3

We need to determine the volume of the hemisphere.

<u>Volume of the hemisphere:</u>

Let us determine the volume of the hemisphere.

The volume of the hemisphere can be determined using the formula,

V=\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3

Substituting the values, r = 6.3 and π = 3.14, we have;

V=\frac{2}{3} (3.14)(6.3)^3

Simplifying the values, we have;

V=\frac{2}{3} (3.14)(250.047)

V=\frac{1570.29516}{3}

Dividing, we have;

V=523.43172

Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we get;

V=523.4

Thus, the volume of the hemisphere is 523.5 cm³
