Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 12 + 20 =

guajiro [1.7K]

We can use prime factorization to find the GCF:

$12 = 3^1 \cdot 4^1$

$20 = 4^1 \cdot 5^1$

The greatest value both 12 and 20 share is 4. By factoring this out of the equation, we get:

4(3 + 5) = 4(8) = 32

The first term of a finite geometric series is 6 and the last term is 4374. The sum of all the term os 6558. find the common rat

Oliga [24]

A geometric series is written as $ar^n$ , where $a$ is the first term of the series and $r$ is the common ratio.

In other words, to compute the next term in the series you have to multiply the previous one by $r$ .

Since we know that the first time is 6 (but we don't know the common ratio), the first terms are

$6, 6r, 6r^2, 6r^3, 6r^4, 6r^5, \ldots$ .

Let's use the other information, since the last term is $4374 > 6$ , we know that $r>1$ , otherwise the terms would be bigger and bigger.

The information about the sum tells us that

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^n 6r^i = 6\sum_{i=0}^n r^i = 6558$

We have a formula to compute the sum of the powers of a certain variable, namely

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^n r^i = \cfrac{r^{n+1}-1}{r-1}$

So, the equation becomes

$6\cfrac{r^{n+1}-1}{r-1} = 6558$

The only integer solution to this expression is $n=6, r=3$ .

If you want to check the result, we have

$6+6*3+6*3^2+6*3^3+6*3^4+6*3^5+6*3^6 = 6558$

and the last term is

$6*3^6 = 4374$

If 40% of a number is 32, what is 25% of that number?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Well what I would do is split the 40% into 20% so from 40% to 20% that is /2. So 32/2=16 so 20% of a number is 16, we know there is 5, 20% in 100% so multiply 16 and 5 which gives you 80. Now 25% of 80 is the same as 80*.25 or 80/4 which is 20
