Answer:

7.2224

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the summation is given by the formula ...

Sn = (a1)(1 -r^n)/(1 -r) . . . . . where a1 is the first of n terms, and r is the common ratio.

Your sum has first term and ratio ...

a1 = 2(0.6) . . . . . summation term for n=1

r = 0.6

So the sum is ...

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^4{2(0.6^n)}=2(0.6)\dfrac{1-0.6^4}{1-0.6}=\dfrac{1.2}{0.4}(0.8704) = 2.6112$

Then the value of the entire given expression is ...

$\displaystyle 2+2\sum_{n=1}^4{}2(0.6^n)=2+2(2.6112)=\boxed{7.2224}$

The area of ABED is 49 square units. Given AGequals9 units and ACequals10 units, what fraction of the area of ACIG is represent

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The fraction of the area of ACIG represented by the shaped region is 7/18

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

In the square ABED find the length side of the square

we know that

AB=BE=ED=AD

The area of s square is

$A=b^{2}$

where b is the length side of the square

we have

$A=49\ units^2$

substitute

$49=b^{2}$

$b=7\ units$

therefore

$AB=BE=ED=AD=7\ units$

step 2

Find the area of ACIG

The area of rectangle ACIG is equal to

$A=(AC)(AG)$

substitute the given values

$A=(9)(10)=90\ units^2$

step 3

Find the area of shaded rectangle DEHG

The area of rectangle DEHG is equal to

$A=(DE)(DG)$

we have

$DE=7\ units$

$DG=AG-AD=9-7=2\ units$

substitute

$A=(7)(2)=14\ units^2$

step 4

Find the area of shaded rectangle BCFE

The area of rectangle BCFE is equal to

$A=(EF)(CF)$

we have

$EF=AC-AB=10-7=3\ units$

$CF=BE=7\ units$

substitute

$A=(3)(7)=21\ units^2$

step 5

sum the shaded areas

$14+21=35\ units^2$

step 6

Divide the area of of the shaded region by the area of ACIG

$\frac{35}{90}$

Simplify

Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator

$\frac{7}{18}$

therefore

The fraction of the area of ACIG represented by the shaped region is 7/18

What is the following product 3/x^2 4/x^3??

Alborosie

9514 1404 393

Answer:

12/x^5

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions are multiplied in the usual way. The applicable rule of exponents is ...

(x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)

$\dfrac{3}{x^2}\cdot\dfrac{4}{x^3}=\dfrac{3\cdot4}{x^2\cdot x^3}=\dfrac{12}{x^{2+3}}=\boxed{\dfrac{12}{x^5}}$
