Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. 4-24+144-864+...

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Sn = ∑ 4(-6)^n, from n = 0 to n = n

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the geometric pattern

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 5  ,  10  ,  20  ,  40  ,  80  ,  ………………………. (×2)

# 5000  ,  1000  ,  200  ,  40  ,  …………………………(÷5)  

- The sum of n terms is Sn = [tex]\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{(1-r)}[/tex], where

 a is the first term , r is the common ratio between each two

 consecutive terms and n is the numbers of terms

- The summation notation is ∑ a r^n, from n = 0 to n = n

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The terms if the sequence are:

  4 , -24 , 144 , -864 , ........

∵ [tex]\frac{-24}{4}=-6[/tex]

∵ [tex]\frac{144}{-24}=-6[/tex]

∴ There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive terms

∴ The pattern is geometric

- The first term is a

∴ a = 4

- The constant ratio is r

∴ r = -6

∵ Sn = [tex]\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{(1-r)}[/tex]

∴ Sn = [tex]\frac{4(1-(-6)^{n})}{(1-(-6))}=\frac{4(1-(-6)^{n})}{(1+6)}=\frac{4}{7}[1-(-6)^{n}][/tex]

- By using summation notation

∵ Sn = ∑ a r^n , from n = 0 to n = n

∴ Sn = ∑ 4(-6)^n

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex] a_n = (4)(-6)^{n-1}, n =1,2,3,4,.... [/tex]

And we can verify:

[tex] n=1 , a_1 = 4 (-6)^{1-1}= 4[/tex]

[tex] n=2 , a_2 = 4 (-6)^{2-1}= -24[/tex]

[tex] n=3 , a_3 = 4 (-6)^{3-1}= 144[/tex]

[tex] n=4 , a_4 = 4 (-6)^{4-1}= -864[/tex]

And finally we can write the summation like this:

[tex] S_n = \sum_{i=1}^n 4 (-6)^{n-1} , n =1,2,3,... [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following pattern of numbers :

4-24+144-864+...

And we want to express the sum in terms of a summation.

We can use the fact the the general term for the sum can be expressed as:

[tex] a_n = a_1 r^{n-1}[/tex]

And for this case we can identify the value of r dividing successive terms like this:

[tex] r = \frac{|24|}{|4|}= \frac{|144|}{|24|}=\frac{|864|}{|144|}= 6[/tex]

So for this case we know that the value of r =6 and the initial value 4 would represent [tex] a_1 = 4[/tex]

Since the sequence is alternating with + and - signs we can express the general term like this:

[tex] a_n = (4)(-6)^{n-1}, n =1,2,3,4,.... [/tex]

And we can verify:

[tex] n=1 , a_1 = 4 (-6)^{1-1}= 4[/tex]

[tex] n=2 , a_2 = 4 (-6)^{2-1}= -24[/tex]

[tex] n=3 , a_3 = 4 (-6)^{3-1}= 144[/tex]

[tex] n=4 , a_4 = 4 (-6)^{4-1}= -864[/tex]

And finally we can write the summation like this:

[tex] S_n = \sum_{i=1}^n 4 (-6)^{n-1} , n =1,2,3,... [/tex]

disponemos de vino de dos calidades de diferentes precios de 0.35 y 0.80 si queremos obtener 200 de mezcla que resulte a 0.50 cuantos litros de cada clase tenemos que enpezar

Answers

To obtain a mixture of 200 liters with an average cost of 0.50, we need to start with approximately 133 liters of the wine with a price of 0.35 and approximately 67 liters of the wine with a price of 0.80.

To solve this problem, we will call "x" the quantity of liters of the wine with a price of 0.35, and "y" the quantity of liters of the wine with a price of 0.80 that we need to obtain the desired mixture.

We know that we want to obtain 200 liters of mixture, and the average cost of the mixture should be 0.50.

We can establish the following equations:

x + y = 200 (equation for the total quantity of mixture)

(0.35 * x + 0.80 * y) / 200 = 0.50 (equation for the average cost of the mixture)

Now  solve this system of equations to find the values of "x" and "y".

From the first equation, we can solve for "x" in terms of "y" as follows:

x = 200 - y

Substitute this expression for "x" in the second equation

(0.35 * (200 - y) + 0.80 * y) / 200 = 0.50

Solving this equation, we can find the value of "y":

(0.35 * 200 - 0.35 * y + 0.80 * y) / 200 = 0.50

(70 - 0.35y + 0.80y) / 200 = 0.50

(0.45y + 70) / 200 = 0.50

0.45y + 70 = 0.50 * 200

0.45y + 70 = 100

0.45y = 100 - 70

0.45y = 30

y = 30 / 0.45

y = 66.67

Now that we have the value of "y,"  find the value of "x" by substituting it into the first equation:

x = 200 - y

x = 200 - 66.67

x = 133.33

However, we cannot have a fractional quantity of liters, so we must round these values to whole numbers.

Therefore, to obtain a mixture of 200 liters with an average cost of 0.50, we need to start with approximately 133 liters of the wine with a price of 0.35 and approximately 67 liters of the wine with a price of 0.80.

We have wine of two different qualities with prices of 0.35 and 0.80. If we want to obtain a mixture of 200 that results in 0.50, how many liters of each class do we need to start with?

Answer:

Find the GCF

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying the following polynomials:

(2x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x)(9x^2-4x+5)

1.     First we need to use the distributive property:

(2x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x)(9x^2-4x+5) = 2x^3 * 9x^2  - 2x^3 * 4x  + 2x^3 * 5 + 2x^2 * 9x^2 - 2x^2 * 4x + 2x^2 * 5 - 3x * 9x^2 + 3x * 4x - 3x * 5.

2.   Second, we need to use the multiplication property of exponents:

(2x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x)(9x^2-4x+5) = 18x^5 - 8x^4 + 10x^3 + 18x^4 - 8x^3 + 10x^2 - 27x^3 + 12x^2 - 15x.

3. We need to combine like terms:

(2x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x)(9x^2-4x+5) = 18x^5 +10x^4 -25x^3 + 22x^2 - 15x.

The overlap between Data Set 1 and Data Set 2 will be high. Then the correct option is A.

How do determine the overlap of the data set?

The number of the data will be 8.

If the number of data overlaps is less than 4, then low.

If the number of data overlaps is equal to 4, then moderate.

The ratio of cups of orange juice concentrate to cups of water in punch is 1:3 if James made 32 cups of punch how many cups of orange juice did he need

Answers

Answer:

We have 8 cups of orange juice

Step-by-step explanation:

orange juice:  water:  total

1                     : 3         : 4

Multiply everything by x

1x                 3x             4x

We have 32 cups total

4x = 32

Divide each sice by 4

4x/4 = 32/4

x = 8

We have 8 cups of orange juice

3*8 = 24

We have 24 cups of water

Final answer:

The ratio of orange juice to water in the punch is 1:3, which means that for every single cup of orange juice, there are 3 cups of water. To find out how many cups of orange juice were used to make 32 cups of punch, we find out what 1 part out of the total 4 parts is, which is 32 ÷ 4 = 8. Therefore, James used 8 cups of orange juice for the punch.

Explanation:

The subject of the question is Mathematics and it pertains to the concept of ratios in particular. The ratio of orange juice concentrate to water is given as 1:3. This means that for every 1 cup of orange juice, James uses 3 cups of water. So, the total parts in the punch are 1 (for orange juice) + 3 (for water) = 4 parts.

However, James made 32 cups of punch. Hence, to find out how many cups of orange juice he used, we need to find out what 1 part out of the total 4 parts is. To do this, you divide the total punch made (32 cups) by the number of total parts (4).

Therefore, 32 cups divided by 4 equals 8 cups. Hence, James used 8 cups of orange juice to make the punch.

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides

The hypotenuse is (x + 14.7) ← opposite the right angle, hence

(x + 14.7)² = x² + 20.2² ← expand parenthesis on left side

x² + 29.4x + 216.09 = x² + 408.04 ( subtract x² from both sides )

29.4x + 216.09 = 408.04 ( subtract 216.09 from both sides )

29.4x = 191.95 ( divide both sides by 29.4 )
