If [tex]a + ar + ar^{2} + ... = 15[/tex] and [tex]a + ar^{2} + ar^{4} + ar^{6} + ... = 9[/tex], then what is the sum of the geometric series [tex]a + ar^{3} + ar^{6} + ar^{9} + ...[/tex]?

Answers

Answer 1

Notice that

a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = a + r³ (a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ...)

but the grouped sum on the right side is the same as the sum on the left side. This means that, if the sum we want to compute

a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ...

converges to S, then

S = a + r³ S

Solve for S :

S - r³ S = a

(1 - r³) S = a

S = a/(1 - r³)

Similarly, knowing the value of the first sum, we have

a + ar + ar² + ar³ + ... = a + r (a + ar + ar² + ...)

but we know

a + ar + ar² + ... = 15

so

15 = a + 15r

and knowing the value of the second sum, we have

a + ar² + ar⁴ + ... = a + r² (a + ar² + ar⁴ + ...)

so

9 = a + 9r²

Solve these two equations for a and r :

15 = a + 15r   ⇒   a = 15 - 15r

9 = a + 9r²   ⇒   9 = 15 - 15r + 9r²   ⇒   3r² - 5r + 2 = (3r - 2) (r - 1) = 0

⇒   r = 2/3 or r = 1

We cannot have r = 1, since that would mean

a + a + a + ... = 15

since the left side is adding infinitely many copies of some constant; such a sum can never converge to a finite number. So it must be that r = 2/3, and it follows that a = 15 - 15 (2/3) = 5.

Then the sum we want has a value of

S = 5/(1 - (2/3))³ = 135/19

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  a + ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ... = 15       #1

r(a + ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ...) = 15r

       ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ... = 15r      #2

subtract #2 from #1

a = 15 - 15r

     a + ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... = 9         #3

r²(a + ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... )= 9r²

         ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... = 9r²       #4

subtract #4 from #3

a = 9 - 9r²

15 - 15r = 9 - 9r²

9r² - 15r + 6 = 0

3r² - 5r + 2 = 0

r = (5 ±√(5² - 4(3)(2))) / (2(3)

r = (5 ± 1) / 6

r = 1

or

r = 4/6 = 2/3

if r = 1 then a = 15 - 15(1) = 0 and a series of zeros added together can never equal 15 so r = 2/3 must be true.

a = 15 - 15(2/3) = 5

   a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = C           #5

r³(a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ...) = Cr³

         ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = Cr³          #6

subtract #6 from #5

a = C - Cr³

a = C(1 - r³)

C = a/(1 - r³)

C = 5/(1 - (2/3)³)

C = 5/(1 - 8/27)

C = 5/(19/27)

C = 5(27/19)

C = 135/19 = 7.1052631578947368....

Round your answers to two decimal places.
a. 12 mm to inches
b. 75 km to miles
C. 150 m to feet
d. 63 square meters to square feet
e 45 meters per second to feet per second
1.9 L (liters) to U.S.quarts

Answers

Answer:

I need only 5 brainlisted please give me

Step-by-step explanation:

please anyone please I request you all

The conversion is a. 12 mm ≈ 0.47 inches

b. 75 km ≈ 46.60 miles

c. 150 m ≈ 492.13 feet

d. 63 square meters ≈ 678.13 square feet

e. 45 meters per second ≈ 147.64 feet per second

f. 1.9 L ≈ 2.01 U.S. quarts

To convert the metric units into the given English units, we'll use the following conversion factors:

1 inch = 25.4 mm

1 mile = 1.60934 km

1 meter = 3.28084 feet

1 square meter = 10.7639 square feet

1 meter per second = 3.28084 feet per second

1 liter = 1.05669 U.S. quarts

a. 12 mm to inches:

12 mm * (1 inch / 25.4 mm) ≈ 0.47 inches

b. 75 km to miles:

75 km * (1 mile / 1.60934 km) ≈ 46.60 miles

c. 150 m to feet:

150 m * (3.28084 feet / 1 meter) ≈ 492.13 feet

d. 63 square meters to square feet:

63 square meters * (10.7639 square feet / 1 square meter) ≈ 678.13 square feet

e. 45 meters per second to feet per second:

45 meters per second * (3.28084 feet per second / 1 meter per second) ≈ 147.64 feet per second

f. 1.9 L (liters) to U.S. quarts:

1.9 L * (1.05669 U.S. quarts / 1 liter) ≈ 2.01 U.S. quarts

So, after rounding to two decimal places:

a. 12 mm ≈ 0.47 inches

b. 75 km ≈ 46.60 miles

c. 150 m ≈ 492.13 feet

d. 63 square meters ≈ 678.13 square feet

e. 45 meters per second ≈ 147.64 feet per second

f. 1.9 L ≈ 2.01 U.S. quarts

A collection of numbers and operations is an expression in mathematics. The following are the parts of a math expression that do a math operation:

Operands: Operands are the numbers that an operator uses. The terms that are given to the operands vary according to the kind of operation.

Given the hourly income Laura = $14.50

total hours she works in a week = 40

increase in rate after working after 10 hours is 1.5 times

the hourly rate after 10 hours = 14.50 x 1.5 = $21.75

amount earned in 10 hours = 10 x 14.5 = $145

total earning = $775.75

the amount left after reducing the amount of 10 hours = 775.75 - 145 = $630.75

$630.75 is earned in = 630.75/21.75 hours = 29 hours

total hours Laura worked = 10 + 29 = 39 hours.

Hence Laura worked 39 hours in a week.

Cassidy is selling popcorn for a fundraiser sale at the price shown. he purchases a total of 150 containers of popcorn to sell. after he sells 25 containers, he will make a total profit, after his upfront costs, of $5.50 cassidy's profit, after upfront costs, can be modeled by a linear function in the form of y=mx+b.

C. Will the function be discrete or continuous? Explain.

D. Write the function that models Cassidy's profit.

E. What is the domain of the function?


F. What is Cassidy's profit or loss if he does not sell any popcorn?

G. What is cassidy's profit if he sells all the popcorn?

H. What is the range of the function? ​

Answers

The domain and the range of the function describes the possible profit or

loss from the sale of popcorn and the number of popcorn units.

The correct responses are;

C. The function is discreteD. The function is; y = 1.5·x - 32E. The domain is; 0 ≤ x ≤ 150F. The loss when non of the popcorn is sold is $-32G. The profit is $193H. The range is; -32 ≤ y ≤ 193

Reasons:

The question parameters are;

The price of a popcorn = $1.5

Number of popcorn he purchases = 150

Total profit made = $5.50

The number of containers sold = 25

Therefore;

C. Given that the number of containers sole is countable, the function will be discrete.

D. Cost of the containers = Revenue - Profit

Which gives;

Cost of the containers = 1.5 × 25 - 5.5 = 32

The given function is therefore;

y = 1.5·x - 32

E. The domain is the 150 containers which gives;

The domain = 0 ≤ x ≤ 150

F. When no popcorn is sold, we have;

x = 0, which gives;

y = 1.5 × 0 - 32 = -32

If he does not sell any popcorn, the loss is $32

G. If all the popcorn are sold, we have;

x = 150

Therefore;

y = 1.5 × 150 - 32 = 193

The profit if all the popcorn are sold = $193

H. The range of the function are the possible y values, which is the possible profit or loss, which gives;

The range = -32 ≤ y ≤ 193

the product of seven non-zero factors. of which only three are positive. is

B) negative
c) null​​

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of those sneaky questions where you think there is no definite answer, but don't despair. There is an answer.

You have 7 numbers

3 of them are positive which means greater than 0. Let's pick them

3 4 5 = 60

That part's easy. Those 3 numbers give a plus result.

Now try the other 4 numbers

-3  - 2  - 1 - 4

Do you see what's going to happen. You have -3 * - 2 = 6

then you get - 1 * - 4 = 4

All of a sudden you get a positive result 6 * 4 = 24

60 * 24 = 1440

So the answer is any 3 plus numbers multiplied by 4 minus numbers gives a plus result.

Answer:

  a) positive

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3 of the 7 numbers are positive, the other 4 are negative. The product of an even number of negative factors is positive. The product of any number of positive factors is positive.

The product is positive.
