pleasee help mee ;-; i can't stand algebra, determine how many terms the geometric series has, and then find the sum of the series
-12 -4 - 4/3 - . . . - 4/243

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The series has 7 terms

[tex]\displaystyle S_7=\frac{4372}{243}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric Series

In the geometric series, each term is found by multiplying (or dividing) the previous term by a fixed number, called the common ratio.

We are given the series:

-12, -4, -4/3, ..., -4/243

We can find the common ratio by dividing one term by the previous term:

[tex]\displaystyle r=\frac{-4}{-12}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Sum of terms: Given a geometric series with first term a1 and common ratio r, the sum of n terms is:

[tex]\displaystyle S_n=a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}[/tex]

We need to find how many terms the series has. Using the explicit formula of a geometric series:

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

The last term is an=-4/243 and the first term is a1=-12. Solving for n:

[tex]\displaystyle n= \frac{\log(a_n/a_1)}{\log r}+1[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\log(-4/243/-12)}{\log 1/3}+1[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\log(1/729)}{\log 1/3}+1[/tex]

n=7

The series has 7 terms

Thus, the sum of the 7 terms of the series is:

[tex]\displaystyle S_7=-12\frac{1-(1/3)^7}{1-(1/3)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\displaystyle S_7=\frac{4372}{243}}[/tex]

x is 19 and y is 84.

Answer:

x = 19 degrees

y = 84 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that for an isosceles triangle (which is pictured), the base angles have the same value.

In our case, we can see that the base angles are 48 deg and (3x-9) deg

if they are equal, we can equate them like this:

48 = 3x-9    (add 9 to each side)

48 + 9 = 3x

57 = 3x   (divide both sides by 3)

x = 57/3

x = 19 degrees  (answer)

also recall that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 deg, hence

48 deg + 48 deg + y deg = 180 deg

2(48) + y = 180

96 + y = 180

y = 180 - 96

y = 84 deg

Can anyone tell me what this graph is in slope intercept form?

Answers

Answer:

the standard form equation is 1/2x^2-x-3/2=0

the vertex form equation is  1/2(x-1)^2-2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Unfortunately, this can't be written in slope intercept form but I can write it in standard form(ax^2+bx+c) or vertex form (a(x-h)+k)

The vertex is (1,-2)

I estimate a=1/2 because the graph was widened and that can only be done by a fraction.

So, 1/2(x-1)^2-2=0

To find it in standard form

foil (x-1)(x-1)= x^2-2x+1

Then multiply by 1/2(x^2-2x+1)= 1/2x^2-x+1/2-2

To add 1/2-2. You mulitply -2 by 2/2 which equals 1/2-4/2 which equals -3/2

So the standard form equation is 1/2x^2-x-3/2=0

Answers

Answer:
x=4

Explanation:
7/2x-19=-13+2x
Add 19 to both sides
7/2x-19+19=-13+2x+19
7/2x=6+2x
Subtract both sides by 2x
7/2x-2x=6+2x-2x
7/2x-2x=6
Change 2x into a fraction
7/2x-4/2x=6
3/2x=6
Divide both sides by 3/2
(3/2x)/(3/2)=6/(3/2)
x=6/(3/2)
Dividing my a fraction is the same as multiplying its reciprocal
x=6*2/3
x=12/3
x=4

Find the supplementary angle of an angle measuring 183. If the supplementary angle does not exist, explain why. (1 point)

The given angle does not have a supplementary angle because supplementary angles add to the sum of 360'. The supplementary angle would need
to be 177 , and the supplement for it cannot be greater than 90° based on the definition of supplementary angles.
The supplementary angle is 107
The given angle does not have a supplementary angle because supplementary angles add to the sum of 180°. The supplementary angle would then

Answers

Answer:

"The given angle does not have a supplementary angle because supplementary angles add to the sum of 180°. The supplementary angle would then  need to be -3, and negative angles are not allowed based on the definition of supplementary angles."

Step-by-step explanation:

A supplementary angle completes an angle less than 180 degrees by filling in what's left. Ex. 170 and 10 are supplementary angles because they add up to a straight line, 180.

Since 183 is greater than 180, no angle (a negative angle isn't an angle) can complete it.

Identify the equation in point-slope form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints J(−24,−4) and K(−4,6).


Option A:

y + 6 = 2(x − 4)


Option B:

y − 6 = 2(x + 4)


Option C:

y + 1 = −2(x − 14)


Option D:

y − 1 = −2(x + 14)

Answers

Given:

Endpoints of a segment are J(−24,−4) and K(−4,6).

To find:

The equation in point-slope form for the perpendicular bisector of JK.

Solution:

Slope of JK is

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{6-(-4)}{-4-(-24)}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{6+4}{-4+24}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{10}{20}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So, product of perpendicular line of JK is -2.

Perpendicular bisector of JK passes through the midpoint of JK.

[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-24-4}{2},\dfrac{-4+6}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-28}{2},\dfrac{2}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint=\left(-14,1\right)[/tex]

Point slope form:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

where, m is slope.

Perpendicular bisector of JK passes through (-14,1) with slope -2. So, the point slope form of JK is

[tex]y-1=-2(x-(-14))[/tex]

[tex]y-1=-2(x+14)[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is D.

The length of a rectangular park is 20 feet longer than the width of the park. If the length of the park is 36 feet, what is the width of the park?
A.
4 feet
B.
16 feet
C.
42 feet
D.
56 feet

Answers

The answer is 16 feet

Answer: B. 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length is 20 feet longer that the width. If the length of the park is 36 feet, the width is 20 feet less.

36 - 20 = 16 feet

So, the width of the park is 16 feet.

Answers

Answer:

f(-8) = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

f(x) = 2(x – 3) + 4

to find f(-8), simply substitute x= -8 into the function:

f(x) = 2(x – 3) + 4

f(-8) = 2[(-8) – 3] + 4

= 2[-8 – 3] + 4

= 2[-11] + 4

= -22+4

= -18
