Find the sum of the first nine terms of the geometric series 1 – 3 + 9 - 27+....
Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about geometric series.
Given that we want the sum of
[tex]1-3+9-27...[/tex]First, we find the general term of this series:
Notice they are all powers of 3, namely
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1=3^0 \\ 3=3^1 \\ 9=3^2 \\ 27=3^3 \\ \vdots \end{gathered}[/tex]But this is an alternating series, hence the general term is given by:
[tex]a_n=\left(-3\right)^{n-1}[/tex]Since we just want the sum of the first 9 terms of this geometric series, we apply the formula:
[tex]S_n=\frac{a_1\cdot\left(1-q^n\right?}{1-q}[/tex]Where q is the ratio between two consecutive terms of the series.
We find q as follows:
[tex]q=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{\left(-3\right)^{2-1}}{\left(-3\right)^{1-1}}=\frac{-3}{1}=-3[/tex]Then we plug n = 9 in the formula, such that:
[tex]S_9=\frac{1\cdot\left(1-\left(-3\right)^9\right?}{1-\left(-3\right)}=\frac{1-\left(-19683\right)}{1+3}=\frac{19684}{4}[/tex]Simplify the fraction by a factor of 4
[tex]S_9=4921[/tex]This is the sum of the nine first terms of this geometric series and it is the answer contained in the second option.
write the equation for a quadratic function in vertex form that opebs down shifts 8 units to the left and 4 units down .
STEP - BY STEP EXPLANATION
What to find?
Equation for a quadratic equation.
Given:
Shifts 8 unit to the left.
4 units down
Step 1
Note the following :
• The parent function of a quadratic equation in general form is given by;
[tex]y=x^2[/tex]• If f(x) shifts q-units left, the f(x) becomes, f(x+q)
,• If f(x) shift m-units down, then the new function is, f(x) -m
Step 2
Apply the rules to the parent function.
8 units to the left implies q=8
4 units down implies m= 4
[tex]y=(x+8)^2-4[/tex]ANSWER
y= (x+8)²- 4
Factor the following expression using the GCF.5dr - 40rr(5 dr - 40)5 r( d - 8)r(5 d - 40)5( dr - 8 r)
The greatest common factor (GCF) is: 5r
You multiply 5r by d to get the first term and multiply 5r by -8 to get the second term, then the factors are:
[tex]5r(d-8)[/tex]Answer: 5r(d-8)I need some help with this (and no this is not a test)
You have the following expression:
[tex]a_n=3+2(a_{n-1})^{2}[/tex]consider a1 = 6.
In order to determine the value of a2, consider that if an = a2, then an-1 = a1. Replace these values into the previous sequence formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_2=3+2(a_1)^{2}= \\ 3+2\mleft(6\mright)^2= \\ 3+2(36)= \\ 3+72= \\ 75 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, a2 is equal to 75
According to the Florida Agency for Workforce, the monthly average number of unemployment claims in a certain county is given by () = 22.16^2 − 238.5 + 2005, where t is the number of years after 1990. a) During what years did the number of claims decrease? b) Find the relative extrema and interpret it.
SOLUTION
(a) Now from the question, we want to find during what years the number of claims decrease. Let us make the graph of the function to help us answer this
[tex]N(t)=22.16^2-238.5t+2005[/tex]We have
From the graph above, we can see that the function decreased at between x = 0 to x = 5.381
Hence the number of claims decreased between 1990 to 1995, that is 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995
Note that 1990 was taken as zero
(b) The relative extrema from the graph is at 5.381, which represents 1995.
Hence the interpretation is that it is at 1995 that the minimum number of claims is approximately 1363.
Note that 1363 is approximately the y-value 1363.278
Lisa's rectangular living room is 15 feet wide. If the length is 7 feet less than twice the width, what is the area of her living room?
345ft²
1) Since we have the following data then we can write it down:
width: 15 ft
length: 2w-7
2) And we can write out the following equation regarding that the area of a rectangle is given by:
[tex]S=l\cdot w[/tex]We can plug into that the given data:
[tex]\begin{gathered} S=15(2(15)-7)) \\ S=15(30-7) \\ S=15\cdot23 \\ S=345 \end{gathered}[/tex]Notice we have used the FOIL acronym. And the PEMDAS order of operations prioritizing the inner parentheses.
3) So we can state that the area of her living room is 345ft²
Gloria's teacher asks her to draw a triangle with a 90° angle and a 42° angle.How many unique triangles can Gloria draw that meet her teacher's requirements?AOne unique triangle can be drawn because the third angle must measure 48º.BNo unique triangle can be drawn because the teacher only gave the measures of two angles.СInfinitely many unique triangles can be drawn because the side lengths of the triangles can be different sizes.DThere is not enough information to determine how many unique triangles can be drawn.
SOLUTION
Sum of angles in a triangle must be equal to 180°
So, since one of the angle measures 90° and the other is 42°, then
90 + 42 + y = 180°, where y is the third angle
So, 132 + y = 180
y = 180 - 132 = 48°.
Therefore, one unique triangle can be drawn because the third angle must measure 48º.

The midpoint m of z₁ = (9+7i) and Z₂ = (-7+7i) is 1 + 7i .
Given complex numbers:
[tex]z_{1}[/tex] = (9 + 7i) and [tex]z_{2}[/tex] = (-7 + 7i)
compare these numbers with a1+ib1 and a2+ib2, we get
a1 = 9, a2 = -7 , b1 = 7 and b2 = 7.
Mid point of complex numbers = a1 + a2 /2 + (b1 + b2 /2)i
= (9 + (-7)/2 + (7 + 7 /2)i
= 2/2 + 14/2 i
Mid point m = 1 + 7i
Therefore the midpoint m of z₁ = (9+7i) and Z₂ = (-7+7i) is 1 + 7i

A box has 14 candies in it: 3 are taffy, 7 are butterscotch, and 4 are caramel. Juan wants to select two candies to eat for dessert. The first candy will be selectedat random, and then the second candy will be selected at random from the remaining candies. What is the probability that the two candies selected are taffy?Do not round your intermediate computations. Round your final answer to three decimal places.
Okay, here we have this:
Considering the provided information we are going to calculate what is the probability that the two candies selected are taffy. So, for this, first we are going to calculate the probability that the first is taffy, and then the probability that the second is taffy. Finally we will multiply these two probabilities to find the total probability.
Remember that the simple probability of an event is equal to favorable events, over possible events.
First is taffy:
At the beginning there are 14 sweets, and 3 are taffy, so there are 3 favorable events and 14 possible, then:
First is taffy=3/14
Second is taffy:
Now, in the bag there are 13 sweets left, and of those 2 are taffy, so now there are 2 favorable events out of 13 possible:
Second is taffy=2/13
The first and second are taffy:
First is taffy*Second is taffy=3/14*2/13
First is taffy*Second is taffy=3/91
First is taffy*Second is taffy=0.033
First is taffy*Second is taffy=3.3%
Finally we obtain that the probability that the two candies selected are taffy is aproximately 0.033 or 3.3%.
I need to find the radius and the diameter but I don't understand.
ANSWER
Radius = 3 yd
Diameter = 6 yd
EXPLANATION
We are given the circle in the figure.
The radius of a circle is defined as the distance between the centre of a circle and its circumference.
Therefore, from the circle given, the radius is 3 yards
The diameter of a circle is defined as the total distance (through the centre) from one end of a circle to another.
It is twice the radius. Therefore, the diameter of the given circle is:
D = 3 * 2
D = 6 yards
The diameter is 6 yards.

Professor Ahmad Shaoki please help me! The length of each side of a square is extended 5 in. The area of the resulting square is 64 in,2 Find the length of a side of the
original square. Help me! From: Jessie
The length of the original square must be equal to 3 inches.
Length of the Original SquareTo find the length of the original square, we have to first assume the unknown length is equal x and then use formula of area of a square to determine it's length.
Since the new length is stretched by 5in, the new length would be.
[tex]l = (x + 5)in[/tex]
The area of a square is given as
[tex]A = l^2[/tex]
But the area is equal 64 squared inches; let's use substitute the value of l into the equation above.
[tex]A = l^2\\l = x + 5\\A = 64\\64 = (x+5)^2\\64 = x^2 + 10x + 25\\x^2 + 10x - 39 = 0\\[/tex]
Solving the quadratic equation above;
[tex]x^2 + 10x - 39 = 0\\x = 3 or x = -13[/tex]
Taking the positive root only, x = 3.

Identify the constant of variation. 8y-7x=0
A direct variation between two variables "x" and "y" is given by the following formula:
y = kx
We can rewrite the given expression 8y-7x=0 to get an equation of the form y = kx like this:
8y - 7x = 0
8y - 7x + 7x = 0 + 7x
8y = 7x
8y/8 = 7x/8
y = 7/8x
The number that is being multiplied by x should be the constant of variation k, then in this case, the constant of variation equals 7/8
