14
Step-by-step explanation:
When you plug this expression into the calc, you should get 14 as your answer.
Answer:
The first term of the geometric series is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the first term of a geometric series, given the common ratio, and the sum of the first 8 terms.
Mathematically, the sum of terms in a geometric series can be calculated as;
S = a(r^n-1)/( r-1)
where a is the first term that we are looking for
r is the common ratio which is 3 according to the question
n is the number of terms which is 8
S is the sum of the number of terms which is 3280 according to the question
Plugging these values, we have
3280 = a(3^8 -1)/(3-1)
3280 = a( 6561-1)/2
3280 = a(6560)/2
3280 = 3280a
a = 3280/3280
a = 1
Let l, t, b represent the numbers of lions, tigers, bears, respectively.
2l +3t +3b = 156 . . . . . . . 156 meals per day are supplied
l +t = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . there are 3 times as many great cats as bears
l +t +b = 68 . . . . . . . . . . . there are a total of 68 animals
_____
The last 2 equations tell you
.. 4b = 68
.. b = 17
Subtracting 3 times the last equation from the first gives
.. -l = -48
There are 48 lions, 3 tigers, and 17 bears.
6*8 = 22
They Multiplied The Second Number By Two Then Added The First Number To It.
