Answer: -7324218

Step-by-step explanation: This is a geometric series because we can see the sequence is constantly decreasing by multiples of 5.

5 is being multiplied.

Sum of geometric progression formula: $S_{n}=\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r} \\$

Sn = sum of n terms

a = first term in sequence

r = common ratio/multiple

n = number of terms

Therefore: $S_{10}=\frac{-3(1-5^{10})}{1-5}$ = -7324218

The length (in centimeters) of a typical Pacific halibut t years old is approximately f(t) = 200(1 − 0.956e−0.18t). Suppose a Pa

horsena [70]

Answer:

7.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(t) =200(1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t})$

where f(t) is the length and t is the number of years old

given the Mike measures 148 cm, we need to find out the age

So we plug in 148 for f(t) and solve for t

$148 =200(1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t})$

divide both sides by 200

$\frac{148}{200} = 1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t}$

Now subtract 1 from both sides

$-0.26= - 0.956e^{-0.18t}$

Divide both sides by -0.956

$\frac{0.26}{0.956} =e^{-0.18t}$

Now take ln on both sides

$\frac{0.26}{0.956} =e^{-0.18t}$

$ln(\frac{0.26}{0.956} )=-0.18tln(e)$

$ln(\frac{0.26}{0.956} )=-0.18t$

divide both sides by -0.18

t=7.2

So 7.2 years

Which of the following is a counter example for the hypothesis all parallelogram are rectangle

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

A non-square rhombus is not a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (four-sided figure) that has two pairs of parallel sides.

A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles.

If a parallelogram does not have four right angles, then it is not a rectangle. However it is still a parallelogram, as it has two pairs of parallel sides.
