For the geometric series 2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + ... , find S8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle S_{8}=6560[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the geometric sequence:

2, 6, 18, 54 ...

And we want to find S8, or the sum of the first eight terms.

The sum of a geometric series is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle S=\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex]

Where n is the number of terms, a is the first term, and r is the common ratio.

From our sequence, we can see that the first term a is 2.

The common ratio is 3 as each subsequent term is thrice the previous term.

And the number of terms n is 8.

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle S_8=\frac{2((3)^{8}-1)}{(3)-1}[/tex]

And evaluate. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle S_8=6560[/tex]

The sum of the first eight terms is 6560.

Answer 2

Answer:

S₈ = 6560

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

[tex]S_{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a(r^{n}-1) }{r-1}[/tex]

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = 2 and r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex] = 3 , then

S₈ = [tex]\frac{2(3^{8}-1) }{3-1}[/tex]

    = [tex]\frac{2(6561-1)}{2}[/tex]

    = 6561 - 1

    = 6560

Answers

Answer:

the answer is 8 because DEF is 8 times larger than ABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope that helps>3

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find scale factor, you need to divide two of the given sides. Meaning you can do any corresponding sides. So, for now, I will do 12 from DEF and 4 from ABC.

12 ÷ 4 = 3

To check if it is accurately 3, you will do it again (optional). You can use 15 from DEF and 5 from ABC

15 ÷ 5 = 3

Since both are 3, that will be the scale factor.

The answer is 3.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given 4x³-7x² and we need to evaluate the expression if x=3.

To do this, substitute 3 as x into the expression, and then use the order of operations to solve

so substitute 3 as x into the expression (remember: x² is x*x, or (x)²)  

4(3)³-7(3)²

now using the order of operations, start by evaluating the exponents

(3)³=3*3*3=9*3=27

(3)²=3*3=9

the expression then becomes:

4*27-7*9

multiply

108-63

subtract

45

Joshua is 1.45 meters tall. At 2 p.m., he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 31.65 meters. He stands 26.2 meters away from the tree, so that the tip of his shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow. Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter .

Answers

Answer:

The height of the tree=8.42 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of Joshua, h=1.45 m

Length of tree's shadow, L=31.65 m

Distance between tree and Joshua=26.2 m

We have to find the height of the tree.

BC=26.2 m

BD=31.65m

CD=BD-BC

CD=31.65-26.2=5.45 m

EC=1.45 m

All right triangles are similar .When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

[tex]\triangle ABD\sim \triangle ECD[/tex]

[tex]\frac{AB}{EC}=\frac{BD}{CD}[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]\frac{AB}{1.45}=\frac{31.65}{5.45}[/tex]

[tex]AB=\frac{31.65\times 1.45}{5.45}[/tex]

[tex]AB=8.42m[/tex]

Hence, the height of the tree=8.42 m

The distance between the two points is about 7.1 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the distance between the two points (-3, 6) and (2, 1).

To find the distance between any two points, we can use the distance formula:

[tex]\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Let (-3, 6) be (x₁, y₁) and (2, 1) be (x₂, y₂). Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle d=\sqrt{((2)-(-3))^2+((1)-(6))^2}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(5)^2+(-5)^2}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]d=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{25(2)}=5\sqrt{2}\approx 7.1\text{ units}[/tex]

The distance between the two points is about 7.1 units.

System of Equations

Answers

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given this system of equations:

x+y=3

4y=-4x-4

and we need to solve it (find the point where the lines intersect, as these are linear equations)

let's solve this system by substitution, where we will set one variable equal to an expression containing the other variable, substitute that expression to solve for the variable the expression contains, and then use the value of the solved variable to find the value of the first variable

we'll use the second equation (4y=-4x-4), as there is already only one variable on one side of the equation. Every number is multiplied by 4, so we'll divide both sides by 4

y=-x-1

now we have y set as an expression containing x

substitute -x-1 as y in x+y=3 to solve for x

x+-x-1=3

combine like terms

-1=3

This statement is untrue, meaning that the lines x+y=3 and 4y=-4x-4 won't intersect.

Therefore the answer is no solutions

Hope this helps! :)

Now subtract [tex]\frac{5}{x}[/tex] from both sides

[tex]3 = \frac{7}{x}-\frac{5}{x}\\\\3=\frac{7-5}{x}\\\\3=\frac{2}{x}[/tex]

18. The current in the Red Cedar River is 6 mph. A canoe can travel 7 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 3 miles upstream when paddled at the same rate. Set up (but do not solve) a rational equation that could be used to find the rate the canoe is paddled, using x as this rate

Answers

Answer:

7/(6 + x) = 3/(6 - x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The current of the Red Cedar River (the speed with which the river is flowing), v = 6 mph

The time it takes the canoe to travel 7 miles downstream = The time it takes the canoe to paddle 3 miles upstream

Let x represent the rate of the canoe, we have;

7/(v + x) = 3/(v - x)

Substituting v = 6 mph, we get the following rational equation, from which the rate of the canoe, x, can be found;

7/(6 + x) = 3/(6 - x).

Answer 1 :-

Answer 2 :-

[tex]\implies m_1 = -\dfrac{1}{2} [/tex]

[tex]\implies y - intercept = -4 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Slope Intercept Form of the line is given to us . The equations given are ,

[tex]\implies y + 3x = 7 [/tex]

[tex]\implies y + \dfrac{1}{2}x = -4 [/tex]

Now we know the standard equation of slope intercept form , is

[tex]\implies y = mx + x [/tex]

Where ,

m is slopec is y intercept .

So , we can write about the equations as ,

[tex]\implies y = -3x + 7 [/tex]

[tex]\implies y = - \dfrac{1}{2}x -4 [/tex]

On comparing to the Standard form ,

Answer 1 :-

[tex]\implies m_1 = -3 [/tex]

[tex]\implies y - intercept = 7 [/tex]

Answer 2 :-

[tex]\implies m_1 = -\dfrac{1}{2} [/tex]

[tex]\implies y - intercept = -4 [/tex]
