Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5

Mathematics
1 answer:
zaharov [31]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}} or \displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}

Therefore, the solution is 31.

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as \displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n} meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:

\displaystyle \large{r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}}

Once knowing which sequence or series is it, apply an appropriate formula for the series. For geometric series, apply the following three formulas:

\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio not equal to 1.

\displaystyle \large{S_n=a_1 \cdot n}

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio exactly equal to 1.

The condition_______?proves that ∆ABC and ∆EFG are congruent by the SAS criterion.
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

(1)  D.Angle C is congruent to to Angle F. (2) C. SSS. (3) C. cannot be congruent to.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

From the given figure it is noticed that

AC=EG

CB=GF

According to SAS postulate,  if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then both triangles are congruent.

The included angles of congruent sides are angle C and angle G.

So, condition "Angle C is congruent to to Angle F"  will prove that the ∆ABC and ∆EFG are congruent by the SAS criterion.

2)

If AB\neq EF

According to SSS postulate,  if all three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides in the other.

Since two corresponding sides are congruent but third sides of triangles are not congruent, therefore SSS criterion for congruence is violated.

3)

Since two corresponding sides are congruent but third sides of triangles are not congruent, therefore the included angle of congruent sides are different.

\angle C\neq \angle G

Therefore angle C and angle F cannot be congruent to each other.

Find an equation of the line having slope -2 that passes through the point (1, 5)
Alenkasestr [34]
Slope of -2, (1,5)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(1,5)...x = 1 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = -2(1) + b
5 = -2 + b
5 + 2 = b
7 = b
so ur equation is : y = -2x + 7

The approximation method used to estimate a point between 2 given points is called linear interpolation. The approximation method used to estimate a point that does not lie between 2 given points is called linear extrapolation.A linear function has the form f(x) = mx + b. Its graph is a line that has slope m and y intercept at (0,b).

During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 19 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her descent at a rate of 25 feet
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

25t+19\leq 144

t\leq5

The number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 144 feet below the ocean surface is <u>at most 5 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial depth of the scuba dive = 19 ft

Rate of descent = 25 ft/min

Maximum depth to be reached = 144 ft

Now, after 't' minutes, the depth reached by the scuba dive is equal to the sum of the initial depth and the depth covered in 't' minutes moving at the given rate.

Framing in equation form, we get:

Total depth = Initial Depth + Rate of descent × Time

Total depth = 19+25t

Now, as per question, the total depth should not be more than 144 feet. So,

\textrm{Total depth}\leq 144\ ft\\\\19+25t\leq 144\\\\or\ 25t+19\leq 144

Solving the above inequality for time 't', we get:

25t+19\leq 144\\\\25t\leq 144-19\\\\25t\leq 125\\\\t\leq \frac{125}{25}\\\\t\leq 5\ min

Therefore, the number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 144 feet below the ocean surface is at most 5 minutes.
