Find the sum of the first five terms using the geometric series formula for the sequence 1/2, -1,2,-4…

Answers

Answer 1

The sum of the first five terms is 11/2

How to determine the sum?

The series is given as:

1/2, -1,2,-4…

Calculate the common ratio of the series using

r = -4/2

Evaluate

r = -2

The sum is then calculated as:

[tex]S_n = a\frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{(1 - (-2)^5}{1 + 2}[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{33)}{3}[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]S_n =\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

Hence, the sum of the first five terms is 11/2

Solve the Equation
-8.3 = d+4.7

Answers

Answer:

d = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

-8.3 = d + 4.7

-8.3 - 4.7 = d

-13 = d

-8.3=d+4.7

What you want to do is flip the equation like this:

d+4.7=-8.3

The next step is to subtract 4.7 from both sides of the equation:

d+4.7=-8.3

-4.7 (both sides)

this equals to d=-13

Your final answer is d=-13 (negative 13).

Miguel withdrew $20 per week from his bank account for 4 weeks. Which expression shows the change in his account balance?
A. -20+4
B. -20-4
C. -20x4
D. -20 ÷4

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that shows the change in Miguel's account balance is -20×4. Thus, option (C) is correct.

Given, Miguel withdrew $20 per week from his bank account for 4 weeks.

Since he withdrew money, the change in his account balance would be negative.

The expression -20 represents the amount he withdrew each week, and the -4 represents the number of weeks.

Multiplying 4 with the initial balance of -20 gives us the change in his account balance.

Therefore, the expression -20×4 correctly represents the change in Miguel's account balance.

Given:

A line segment AB.

A point is [tex]\dfrac{3}{10}[/tex] of the way from A to B.

To find:

The coordinates of that point.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divide a line segment in m:n, then

[tex]Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)[/tex]

From the given figure, it is clear that the two end points of the line segment are A(-4,-5) and B(12,4).

Let the unknown point be P. The point is [tex]\dfrac{3}{10}[/tex] of the way from A to B. It means,

[tex]\dfrac{AP}{AB}=\dfrac{3}{10}[/tex]

Let AP and AB are 3x and 10x, then

[tex]\dfrac{AP}{PB}=\dfrac{AP}{AB-AP}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{AP}{PB}=\dfrac{3x}{10x-3x}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{AP}{PB}=\dfrac{3x}{7x}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{AP}{PB}=\dfrac{3}{7}[/tex]

It means, point P divided the line segment in 3:7.

Using section formula, we get

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{3(12)+7(-4)}{3+7},\dfrac{3(4)+7(-5)}{3+7}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{36-28}{10},\dfrac{12-35}{10}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{8}{10},\dfrac{-23}{10}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=\left(0.8,-2.3\right)[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of the required point are (0.8, -2.3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(sqrt(14))/(sqrt(18))

Hint: | Simplify radicals.

sqrt(18) = sqrt(2×3^2) = 3 sqrt(2):

(sqrt(14))/(3 sqrt(2))

Hint: | Multiply numerator and denominator of (sqrt(14))/(3 sqrt(2)) by sqrt(2).

Rationalize the denominator. (sqrt(14))/(3 sqrt(2)) = (sqrt(14))/(3 sqrt(2))×(sqrt(2))/(sqrt(2)) = (sqrt(14) sqrt(2))/(3×2):

(sqrt(14) sqrt(2))/(3×2)

Hint: | Multiply 3 and 2 together.

3×2 = 6:

(sqrt(14) sqrt(2))/6

Hint: | For a>=0, sqrt(a) sqrt(b) = sqrt(a b). Apply this to sqrt(14) sqrt(2).

sqrt(14) sqrt(2) = sqrt(14×2):

(sqrt(14×2))/6

Hint: | Multiply 14 and 2 together.

14×2 = 28:

(sqrt(28))/6

Hint: | Simplify radicals.

sqrt(28) = sqrt(2^2×7) = 2 sqrt(7):

(2 sqrt(7))/6

Hint: | In (2 sqrt(7))/6, divide 6 in the denominator by 2 in the numerator.
