What are the values of a and r of the geometric series?
2-2+2-2+2

Answers

Answer 1

The given geometric series, the first term is a₁ = 2 and the common ratio is r = -1

What are some examples of geometric series?

In mathematics, a geometric series is an infinite series with the formula a + ar + ar2 + ar3 +, where r is referred to as the common ratio. The geometric series for a = 1 and r = 1/2, or 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 +, is a straightforward illustration and converges to a sum of 2. (or 1 if the first term is excluded).

We are given to find the values of  a₁ and r of the following geometric series

2 - 2 + 2 - 2 + 2 - ........

We know that

a₁ is the first term and r  is the common ratio of the given geometric series.

We can see that the first term of the given geometric series is 2.

So. we must have

            a₁ = 2

Also, common ratio is found by dividing a term by its preceding term.

Therefore, the common ratio r  of the given geometric series is

r = -2/2 = 2 / -2 = ...... = -1

Thus, for the given geometric series, the first term is a₁ = 2 and the common ratio is r = -1.

Answer:

Step-By-Step Explanation:

Do someone have the answers

Answers

1. y = 5x + 15.

2. y = total cost

x = number of calendar

m = cost per calendar = slope = 5

b = initial value/y-intercept = 15

3. $1,015.

4. The equation in slope-intercept form is: y = 5x + 15

5. Slope (m) = 5

6. y-intercept (b) = 15; x-intercept = -3.

7. See attachment below for the graph.

How to Write an Equation that Models a Situation?

Using the information given, we can create an equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m would be the slope and b would be the y-intercept of the linear equation.

Let,

y = total costx = number of calendarm = cost per calendar = slope = 5b = initial value/y-intercept = 15

1. To create an equation that models the situation, substitute m = 5 and b = 15 into y = mx + b:

y = 5x + 15.

2. The variables and numbers in the equation are:

y = total cost

x = number of calendar

m = cost per calendar = slope = 5

b = initial value/y-intercept = 15

3. Substitute x = 200 into y = 5x + 15

y = 5(200) + 15

y = 1,015

Total cost = $1,015.

4. The equation in slope-intercept form is: y = 5x + 15

5. The slope (m) = 5

6. The y-intercept (b) = 15

To find the x-intercept, substitute y = 0 into y = 5x + 15

0 = 5x + 15

-5x = 15

x = 15/-5

x = -3

The x-intercept = -3.

4 square units

If you draw a vertical line down the middle of the square, you divide it into two triangles that are congruent to the smaller triangles shown in the figure. Hence each of those triangles has an area of 1/2 square unit.
After you divide the square as as above, you see that two smaller triangles are identical in area to the larger triangles. So, each of those has an area of 2(1/2) = 1 square unit
Then the total of areas is…
2 small triangles + square + 2 large triangles =

Since we are dividing same numbers with different powers, just subtract the power of top number by bottom.

11^(16-3) = 11^13
Answer:  Choice B is correct

====================================================

Reason:

Focus on the numerator for now. The [tex](11^8)^2[/tex] is the same as [tex]11^{16}[/tex] because we multiply the exponents. The general rule is [tex](a^b)^c = a^{bc}[/tex]

Alternatively we can think of it like this

[tex](11^8)^2 = (11^8)(11^8) = 11^{8+8} = 11^{16}[/tex]

So far we have [tex]\frac{(11^8)^2}{11^3} = \frac{11^{16}}{11^3}[/tex]

------------

The last step is to subtract exponents due to the rule [tex]\frac{a^b}{a^c} = a^{b-c}[/tex] and the order of subtraction is important.

Therefore, [tex]\frac{(11^8)^2}{11^3} = \frac{11^{16}}{11^3} = 11^{16-3} = 11^{13}[/tex]

In two or more complete sentences, explain how to use ordered pairs of points in f(x)=2x+5 and g(x)= x-5/2 to determine if f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.

Answers

The ordered pair given are not inverse to each other because:

Substituting a value say 5/2 into f(x)=2x+5 gives 10Substituting 10 into g(x)= x-5/2 does not return 5/2

How to know inverse functions

When two functions are inverse to each other substituting a value A in function say AA will give answer say X, substituting the answer X to the the other function say BB returns the value A.

Instance

say function AA, plug in A gives X

the inverse will be:

say function BB plug in X gives A

So, we have  f(x)=2x+5 and g(x)= x-5/2

plugging in say 5/2 in f(x) will give

f(x) = 2 * 5/2 + 5

f(x) = 5 + 5

f(x) = 10

We plug in 10 to g(x)= x-5/2

g(x) = 10 - 5/2

g(x)= 7/2

since 7/2 ≠ 5/2 the pair of functions are not inverse to each other

How much 8% saline solution should Kent mix with 60 cubic centimeters (cc) of an 18% saline solution to produce an 11% saline solution?

Answers

Based on the concentration of the saline solution and the cubic centimeters of the saline solution, the amount that should be mixed is 140 cubic centimeters

How to find out the cubic centimeters for mixing?

Assuming that the quantity of the saline solution that Kent should mix is denoted by x, the formula would be:
0.08x + (0.18 x 60) = 0.11 (x + 60)

Solving gives:

0.08x + 10.8 = 0.11x + 6.6

10.8 - 6.6 = 0.11x - 0.08x

4.2 = 0.03x

x = 4.2 / 0.03

x = 140 cubic centimeters

In conclusion, 140 cubic centimeters of the saline solution is needed.
