∑ from 1 to infinity of 12(3/5)^(i - 1)
Since the common ratio is less than 1, the series is convegent. [i.e. 3/5 < 1]
Sum to infinity of a geometric series is given by a/(1 - r); where a is the first term, and r is the common ratio.
Sum = 12/(1 - 3/5) = 12/(2/5) = 30.
For every 1,000 feet you go up in elevation, the temperature decreases by about 3.3°F
Given:
Temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 74°F
The top of the mountain is 5500 feet above you
Change (reduction) in temperature is 3.3 X 5500 / 1000
= 18.15°F
Temperature at the top of the mountain is 74°F – 18.15°F
= 55.85°F
Answer:
a) 10/3
b) hyperbola
c) x = ± 6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) A conic section with a focus at the origin, a directrix of x = ±p where p is a positive real number and positive eccentricity (e) has a polar equation:
Given the conic equation: 
We have to make it to be in the form :
Comparing with
e = 10/3 = 3.3333, p = 6/5
b) since the eccentricity = 3.33 > 1, it is a hyperbola
c) The equation of the directrix is x = ±p = ± 6/5
No because if it is a square all the sides are 7m long so a 9m plank will not fit. Hope this helps.
1) You included neihter what Ramesh says nor the statements, then I can you tell some facts about the pattern.
2) The sequence is: 2401, 343, 49, 7, and 1.
3) The first term is 2401
4) The sequence is a decreasing geometric one.
5) The ratio is found dividing two consecutive terms (the second by the first, or the third by the second, or the fourth by the third, or the fifth by fourth):
1/7 = 7 / 49 = 49 / 343 = 343 / 2401.
So, the ratio is 1/7
6) The sum of that sequence is 2401 + 343 + 49 + 7 + 1 = 2801
