Graph the six terms of a finite series where a1 = 5 and r = 1.25. I looked through my lessons and honestly do not get how to do

this. I know I am supposed to use the equation Sn=(a1-a1r^n)/(1-r) Mathematics

The sum of a geometric sequence is:

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

The sequence rule for a geometric sequence is:

a(n)=ar^(n-1)

Not sure what they mean by "graph the six terms"

The sum of the first six terms is in this case:

s(6)=5(1-1.25^6)/(1-1.25)

s(6)=56.2939453125

The first six terms in sequence is in this case:

a(n)=5(1.25)^(n-1) so

5, 6.25, 7.8125, 9.765625, 12.20703125, 15.2587890625

2. ½ of a group of chickens tried to cross the road. Only ¾ of those chickens made it to the other side. What fraction of the or
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Let me help you visualize this one.

Let's say we have 12 chickens.

OOOOOOOOOOOO

We divide this group in half (1/2 who tried to cross the road.)

OOOOOO

And here, we need to get 3/4 of the 6 left.

3/4 can be represented as 0.75 of 1.

6 times 0.75 equals to 4.5.

OOOOC (Woah, that chicken is split in half!)

What fraction is 4.5 of the original amount?

Well, that's for you to find out! Good luck in solving this question.

Juana compró una camioneta 4x4 a S/ 42 000; además, sabe que la camioneta se depreciará (bajará su precio) en forma lineal duran
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Una relación lineal es de la forma:

y = a*x + b.

donde a es la pendiente y b es la ordenada al origen.

en este caso, y es el precio de la camioneta, x es el numero de años que pasaron, a es la razon de depreciación de la camioneta y b es el precio inicial de la camioneta, b = $42,000.

Sabemos que después de 5 años, el precio de la camioneta es 21,000, entonces podemos resolver:

$21,000 = a*5 + $42,000

a*5 = $21,000 - $42,000 = -$21,000

a = -$21,000/5 = -$4,200

Esto significa que el precio decae $4,200 por año

The speed of light is about 1.86×10^5 miles per second. The star Sirius is about 5.062×10^13 miles from Earth. About how many se
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

2.72 × 10^8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Organize the given information to help you create the equation:

- Light travels 1.86 × 10^5 miles per 1 second

- Light travels 5.062 × 10^13 miles per <em>n</em> seconds

- Need to solve for <em>n</em>

2. Set up the equation (Make sure that both numerators and both denominators match units, so the seconds are either both on top or both on bottom, NOT switched):

\frac{1.86 * 10^5}{1} = \frac{5.062 * 10^1^3}{n}

3. Cross multiply (Multiply the first fraction's numerator by the second's denominator, and vice versa. It doesn't matter what number is on which side of the = sign)

<em>n </em>× (1.86 × 10^5) = 5.062 × 10^13

4. Solve for <em>n</em> by isolating the variable and dividing.

\frac{n (1.86 * 10^5)}{1.86 * 10^5} = \frac{5.062 * 10^1^3}{1.86 * 10^5}

<em>n</em> = \frac{5.062 * 10^1^3}{1.86 * 10^5}

<em>n </em>= 2.72 × 10^8 (Make sure to include the unit, seconds)

Larry mixed 15 grams of salt with 210 grams of a 5% salt solution in water. What is the percent of salt in his new solution?
Olegator [25]
When the concentration of a solution is expressed in weight percentages, that is just equal to the mass of solute over the mass of the total solution. For a solution weighing 210 grams, 5% of it is salt. That is equal to

210*0.05= 10.5 g salt

The rest of the amount, determined by difference, is the amount of solvent which is water.

water = 210-10.5 = 199.5 g salt

To solve for the new concentration, you add up 15 g to the already existing 10.5 g of salt in the solution. The water, on the other hand, remains constant. 

Concentration = (15+10.5)/(210+15) = 0.1133 or 11.33%
