Notice that
a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = a + r³ (a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ...)
but the grouped sum on the right side is the same as the sum on the left side. This means that, if the sum we want to compute
a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ...
converges to S, then
S = a + r³ S
Solve for S :
S - r³ S = a
(1 - r³) S = a
S = a/(1 - r³)
Similarly, knowing the value of the first sum, we have
a + ar + ar² + ar³ + ... = a + r (a + ar + ar² + ...)
but we know
a + ar + ar² + ... = 15
so
15 = a + 15r
and knowing the value of the second sum, we have
a + ar² + ar⁴ + ... = a + r² (a + ar² + ar⁴ + ...)
so
9 = a + 9r²
Solve these two equations for a and r :
15 = a + 15r ⇒ a = 15 - 15r
9 = a + 9r² ⇒ 9 = 15 - 15r + 9r² ⇒ 3r² - 5r + 2 = (3r - 2) (r - 1) = 0
⇒ r = 2/3 or r = 1
We cannot have r = 1, since that would mean
a + a + a + ... = 15
since the left side is adding infinitely many copies of some constant; such a sum can never converge to a finite number. So it must be that r = 2/3, and it follows that a = 15 - 15 (2/3) = 5.
Then the sum we want has a value of
S = 5/(1 - (2/3))³ = 135/19
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a + ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ... = 15 #1
r(a + ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ...) = 15r
ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ... = 15r #2
subtract #2 from #1
a = 15 - 15r
a + ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... = 9 #3
r²(a + ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... )= 9r²
ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... = 9r² #4
subtract #4 from #3
a = 9 - 9r²
15 - 15r = 9 - 9r²
9r² - 15r + 6 = 0
3r² - 5r + 2 = 0
r = (5 ±√(5² - 4(3)(2))) / (2(3)
r = (5 ± 1) / 6
r = 1
or
r = 4/6 = 2/3
if r = 1 then a = 15 - 15(1) = 0 and a series of zeros added together can never equal 15 so r = 2/3 must be true.
a = 15 - 15(2/3) = 5
a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = C #5
r³(a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ...) = Cr³
ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = Cr³ #6
subtract #6 from #5
a = C - Cr³
a = C(1 - r³)
C = a/(1 - r³)
C = 5/(1 - (2/3)³)
C = 5/(1 - 8/27)
C = 5/(19/27)
C = 5(27/19)
C = 135/19 = 7.1052631578947368....
how do i do math in division fractions?
Answer:
The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the fractions if needed.
Answer:
Keep change flip!
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1/2 divided 3/4
We simply keep 1/2 and then we flip the 3/4 which is now 4/3
now we also flip the division sign which its opposite is multiplying now its simply 1/2 x 4/3 and you get 4/6. Hope this helps please mark brainliest!
x and y simplifying problem. Please explain how to do thiese. I will gove 15 points
[tex]\dfrac 56 x + \dfrac25 y - \dfrac14 x + \dfrac3{10} y[/tex]
First, combine like terms:
[tex]\left(\dfrac 56 - \dfrac14\right) x + \left(\dfrac25 + \dfrac3{10}\right)y[/tex]
Now just simplify the coefficients of x and y. We do this by converting each pair of fractions to ones with a common denominator. Then we can combine them easily.
[tex]\dfrac56 - \dfrac14 = \dfrac56\cdot\dfrac22 - \dfrac14\cdot\dfrac33 = \dfrac{5\cdot2}{6\cdot2} - \dfrac{1\cdot3}{4\cdot3} = \dfrac{10}{12} - \dfrac3{12} = \dfrac{10-3}{12} = \dfrac7{12}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac25 + \dfrac3{10} = \dfrac25\cdot\dfrac22 + \dfrac3{10} = \dfrac{2\cdot2}{5\cdot2} + \dfrac3{10} = \dfrac4{10} + \dfrac3{10} = \dfrac{4+3}{10} = \dfrac7{10}[/tex]
So the simplified expression would be
[tex]\dfrac7{12} x + \dfrac7{10} y[/tex]

A rectangular swimming pool is 4 ft deep. One side of the pool is 4.5 times longer than the other. The amount of water needed to fill the swimming pool is 1800 cubic feet.
Find the dimensions of the pool.
Answer:
19 x 23.5 x 4
Step-by-step explanation:
4 * x * (x + 4.5) =1800
Divide both sides by 4
x * (x + 4.5) = 450
Use distributive property
x^2 + 4.5x = 450
Move all terms to one side
x^2 + 4.5x - 450 = 0
Use quadratic formula to solve a = 1, b = 4.5, c = -450
-4.5 +- [tex]\sqrt{4.5^2 - 4 * 1 * -450}[/tex]/2
=-4.5 + - [tex]\sqrt{1820.25}[/tex] / 2
= -4.5 +- 42.664 / 2

Solve the inequality below for t.
3 - 13t >/= -9 - 9t
Answer:
T is =/> 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 9t to both sides, 3-4t>/= -9 . Subtract 3 from both sides. -4t>/=-12
divide 12 by 4 for 3. Because 3 results in equality between both sides, it is equal, however if t is greater than 3, the lefthand side becomes greater than the right.

7y = 4x - 9
y = (4/7)x - 9/7
so the parallel line has form
y = (4/7)x + b

Let f(x) = x+2/x+6
f^-1(-6) =
We can explicitly find the inverse. If [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] is the inverse of [tex]f(x)[/tex], then
[tex]f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right) = \dfrac{f^{-1}(x)+2}{f^{-1}(x)+6} = x[/tex]
Solve for the inverse :
[tex]\dfrac{f^{-1}(x) + 2}{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{f^{-1}(x) + 6 - 4}{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x[/tex]
[tex]1 - \dfrac4{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x[/tex]
[tex]1 - x = \dfrac4{f^{-1}(x) + 6}[/tex]
[tex]f^{-1}(x) + 6 = \dfrac4{1-x}[/tex]
[tex]\implies f^{-1}(x) = \dfrac4{1-x} - 6[/tex]
Then when x = -6, we have
[tex]f^{-1}(-6) = \dfrac4{1-(-6)} - 6 = \dfrac47-6 = \boxed{-\dfrac{38}7}[/tex]
Alternatively, we can first solve for x such that [tex]f(x) = -6[/tex]. Then taking the inverse of both sides, [tex]x = f^{-1}(-6)[/tex]. (The difference in this method is that we don't compute the inverse for all x.)
We have
[tex]\dfrac{x+2}{x+6} = -6[/tex]
[tex]x + 2 = -6 (x + 6)[/tex]
[tex]x + 2 = -6x - 36[/tex]
[tex]7x = -38[/tex]
[tex]\implies x = \boxed{-\dfrac{38}7}[/tex]

Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Each consecutive element of the series has one less blue points than the before element, with that, we conclude that the correct option is D, where there is only one blue point.
Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series?
Here we can see a series of 3 elements.
the first element is a circle with 4 blue points on its circumference, such that the points are connected to form a rectangle.
The next element is a circle with 3 blue points on it, such that when the points are connected a triangle is formed.
The third element is a circle, this time with 2 points, and the connection forms a segment.
So what we can see is that in each consecutive element the number of blue points on the circumference of the circles decreases by one, so the logical conclusion is that the next element will have only one point on its perimeter, then the correct option is D, where we can see only one blue point on the perimeter of the circle.

Sammy's Chipmunk & Squirrel Observations
For a science project, Sammy observed a chipmunk and a squirrel stashing
acorns in holes. The chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug. The
squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug. They each hid the same number
of acorns, although the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes. How many acorns did the
chipmunk hide?
Answer:12 accorns
Step-by-step explanation:
If they each hid the same number of acorns, although the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes, the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each hole
Let's assume the number of holes the chipmunk dug is 'c', and the number of acorns it hid in each hole is 'x'. Similarly, let's assume the number of holes the squirrel dug is 's', and the number of acorns it hid in each hole is 'y'.
According to the information provided, the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug, so x = 3. The squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug, so y = 4.
Both the chipmunk and squirrel hid the same number of acorns, so cx = sy.
Also, the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes, so s = c - 4.
Now, we can use the information to set up a system of equations:
cx = sy
c - 4 = s
Substitute the value of s from the second equation into the first equation:
c(c - 4) = 3(c - 4)
Expand the equation:
c² - 4c = 3c - 12
Now, bring all terms to one side of the equation:
c² - 4c - 3c + 12 = 0
Combine like terms:
c² - 7c + 12 = 0
Now, factor the quadratic equation:
(c - 3)(c - 4) = 0
Now, set each factor to zero and solve for 'c':
c - 3 = 0 => c = 3
c - 4 = 0 => c = 4
Since the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each hole, the correct answer is The chipmunk hid 3 acorns.
