Answer: You will never reach a sum of 2. You would need infinitely many terms to sum up.
============================================================
Explanation:
We have this sequence
1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, ...
which is geometric with the following properties
a = first term = 1r = common ratio = 1/2 = 0.5Notice how we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next term. Eg: (1/4)*(1/2) = 1/8 or (1/16)*(1/2) = 1/32.
Since r = 0.5 is between -1 and 1, i.e. -1 < r < 1 is true, this means that adding infinite terms of this form will get us to approach some finite sum which we'll call S. This is because the new terms added on get smaller and smaller.
That infinite sum is
S = a/(1-r)
S = 1/(1-0.5)
S = 1/0.5
S = 2
So if we keep going with that pattern 1+1/2+1/4+... and do so forever, then we'll reach a sum of 2. However, we cannot go on forever since it's asking when we'll reach that specific sum. In other words, your teacher wants finitely many terms to be added.
In short, we'll never actually reach the sum 2 itself. We'll just get closer and closer.
Here's a list of partial sums
1+1/2 = 1.51+1/2+1/4 = 1.751+1/2+1/4+1/8 = 1.8751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16 = 1.93751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32 = 1.968751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64 = 1.9843751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128 = 1.99218751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128+1/256 = 1.99609375We can see that we're getting closer to 2, but we'll never actually get there. We'd need to add infinitely many terms to get to exactly 2.

If BC = 8.3, CD - 6,7, and AD = 11.6, find AB to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
ab=14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is going to be tricky to explain over text, so try to bear with me :) You have the information given above. Let's start with just ad = 11.6 for now. since these are variables, it can also be understood be understood as a times d= 11.6. Knowing this, we can figure out that d = 11.6/a, when you divide both sides by a. You now have d, so plug (11.6/a) into cd=6.7. You have to do the same thing you did last time, except this time you are aiming to get c by itself. So, multiply both sides by a/11.6 and you get c = (6.7a)/ 11.6. Guess what, you know c now! so you put (6.7a)/11.6 in for c in the equation given to you earlier, bc =8.3. The math gets a bit messy here, but you basically solve for b here, which, when you crunch the numbers down, ends up being ~14.3705 divided by a. You are looking for ab, so just multiply both sides by a, and round to the nearest tenth so that you have ab= 14.4

Last year, each Capulet wrote 4 essays, each Montague wrote 6 essays, and both families wrote 100 essays in total.
This year, each Capulet wrote 8 essays, each Montague wrote 12 essays, and both families wrote 200 essays in total.
How many Capulets and Montagues are there?
Choose 1 answer:
A: There is not enough information to determine the exact number of Capulets and Montagues.
B: The given information describes an impossible situation.
C: There are 16 Capulets and 6 Montagues.
D: There are 6 Capulets and 16 Montagues
Answer: There are 16 Capulets and 6 Montaques.
Step-by-step explanation:Other choices were either less than or greater than 200 multiplied by each other. If we do 16x8 which is 128 for the Capulets. Also, if we do 12x6 which is 72 for the Montaques. 128+72=200 essays in total

Express the function as the sum of a power series by first using partial fractions. f(x)=x+62x2−9x−5
Answer:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{2x^2-9x+5}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} [(-2)^{n}x^{n} + \frac{x^{n}}{5^{n+1}}][/tex]
when:
[tex]|x|<\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must begin by splitting the function into its partial fractions, so we must first factor the denominator.
[tex]\frac{x+6}{2x^2-9x+5}=\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}[/tex]
Next, we can build our partial fractions, like this:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}=\frac{A}{2x+1}+\frac{B}{x-5}[/tex]
we can then add the two fraction on the right to get:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}=\frac{A(x-5)+B(2x+1)}{(2x+1)(x-5)}[/tex]
Since we need this equation to be equivalent, we can get rid of the denominators and set the numerators equal to each other, so we get:
[tex]x+6=A(x-5)+B(2x+1)[/tex]
and expand:
[tex]x+6=Ax-5A+2Bx+B[/tex]
we can now group the terms so we get:
[tex]x+6=Ax+2Bx-5A+B[/tex]
[tex]x+6=(Ax+2Bx)+(-5A+B)[/tex]
and factor:
[tex]x+6=(A+2B)x+(-5A+B)[/tex]
so we can now build a system of equations:
A+2B=1
-5A+B=6
and solve simultaneously, this one can be solved by substitution, so we get>
A=1-2B
-5(1-2B)+B=6
-5+10B+B=6
11B=11
B=1
A=1-2(1)
A=-1
So we can use these values to build our partial fractions:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}=\frac{A}{2x+1}+\frac{B}{x-5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}=-\frac{1}{2x+1}+\frac{1}{x-5}[/tex]
and we can now use the partial fractions to build our series. Let's start with the first fraction:
[tex]-\frac{1}{2x+1}[/tex]
We can rewrite this fraction as:
[tex]-\frac{1}{1-(-2x)}[/tex]
We can now use the following rule to build our power fraction:
[tex]\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} ar^{n} = \frac{a}{1-r}[/tex]
when |r|<1
in this case a=1 and r=-2x so:
[tex]-\frac{1}{1-(-2x)}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-2x)^n[/tex]
or
[tex]-\frac{1}{1-(-2x)}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-2)^{n} x^{n}[/tex]
for: |-2x|<1
or: [tex] |x|<\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Next, we can work with the second fraction:
[tex]\frac{1}{x-5}[/tex]
On which we can factor a -5 out so we get:
[tex]-\frac{1}{5(1-\frac{x}{5})}[/tex]
In this case: a=-1/5 and r=x/5
so our series will look like this:
[tex]-\frac{1}{5(1-\frac{x}{5})}=-\frac{1}{5}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (\frac{x}{5})^n[/tex]
Which can be simplified to:
[tex]-\frac{1}{5(1-\frac{x}{5})}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{5^(n+1)}[/tex]
when:
[tex]|\frac{x}{5}|<1[/tex]
or
|x|<5
So we can now put all the series together to get:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{2x^2-9x+5}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} [(-2)^{n}x^{n} + \frac{x^{n}}{5^{n+1}}}[/tex]
when:
[tex]|x|<\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We use the smallest interval of convergence for x since that's the one the whole series will be defined for.
What is the sum of the first 7 terms of the geometric series:
Answer:
-15.875
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can sum up the first 5 terms.
-8 + (-4) = -12
-12 + (-2) = -14
-14 + (-1) = -15
-15 + (-1/2) = -15.5
Next, we can find a pattern in the data. We can tell that the next number is one half of the current number. For example, -4 is one half of -8. To find the next number, we simply multiply our current number by one half. Thus, the sixth number is -1/4 and the seventh is -1/8. Adding these to our current total, we have
-15.5 - 1/4 = -15.75
-15.5 - 1/8 = -15.875 as our answer

Step-by-step explanation:
50 X 240 = 2700. So you will need 240 packs of 50. They cost 17.95 each, so the multiply. 240 X 17.95 is 4,308. So, 4,308 is your answer.
The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3773 based on their 13 year win history of 389 wins out of 1031 games played (as of a certain date). Their schedule for November contains 12 games. Let X = number of games won in November.
Find the probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Answer:
0.8895 = 88.95% probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the teams wins, or they do not win. The probability of the team winning a game is independent of any other game, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3773.
This means that [tex]p = 0.3773[/tex]
Their schedule for November contains 12 games.
This means that [tex]n = 12[/tex]
Find the probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.
This is:
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3773)^{0}.(0.6227)^{12} = 0.0034[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.3773)^{1}.(0.6227)^{11} = 0.0247[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3773)^{2}.(0.6227)^{10} = 0.0824[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0034 + 0.0247 + 0.0824 = 0.1105[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.1105 = 0.8895[/tex]
0.8895 = 88.95% probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.

D. Topher and Lucas
5. Find the average distance of the houses of the 4 friends from the church?
A. 181
B. 191
C. 180
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The bar chart to the question is attached below.
The distance traveled by Paolo = 210 m, The distance traveled by Lucas = 150 m, The distance traveled by Jashua = 175 m, The distance traveled by Topher = 190 m
1) The farther distance walk by Paolo = The distance traveled by Paolo - The distance traveled by Topher = 210 m - 190 m = 20 m
2) The farther distance walk by Jasha = The distance traveled by Jashua - The distance traveled by Lucas = 175 m - 150 m = 25 m
3) The farther distance walk by Topher = The distance traveled by Topher - The distance traveled by Lucas = 190 m - 150 m = 40 m
4) Combined distance of Paolo's and Lucas = 210 m + 150 m = 360 m
Combined distance of Jashua and Topher = 175 m + 190 m = 365 m
Therefore the Combined distance of Jashua and Topher is more
5) Average distance = (210 + 150 + 175 + 190)/4 = 181.25 m
A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 24 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h = –16t2 + 24t + 7. a. In how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height? Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. b. What is the ball’s maximum height?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you have this categorized under college math, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you're in calculus. We will solve using the position function and its first derivative (velocity) to solve. Remember that at an object's max height, the velocity is 0.
If the position function is
[tex]s(t)=-16t^2+24t+7[/tex] the first derivative, velocity, is
v(t) = -32t + 24. Set this equal to 0 to find the time when the object is at its max height:
0 = -32t + 24 and
-24 = -32t so
t = .75 seconds. Now we can plug that time into the position function to find where it is at that time. This "where" will be the max height:
s(.75) = [tex]-16(.75)^2+24(.75)+7[/tex] so
s(.75) = 16 feet
4. The average salary for public school teachers for a specific year was reported to be $39,385. A random sample of 50 public school teachers in a particular state had a mean of $41,680, and the population standard deviation is $5975. Is there sufficient evidence at the a _ 0.05 level to conclude that the mean salary differs from $39,385
Answer:
The p-value of the test is 0.0066 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean salary differs from $39,385
Step-by-step explanation:
The average salary for public school teachers for a specific year was reported to be $39,385. Test if the mean salary differs from $39,385
At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of $39,385, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu = 39385[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean differs from this, that is:
[tex]H_1: \mu \neq 39385[/tex]
The test statistic is:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
39385 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 39385[/tex]
A random sample of 50 public school teachers in a particular state had a mean of $41,680, and the population standard deviation is $5975.
This means that [tex]n = 50, X = 41680, \sigma = 5975[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{41680 - 39385}{\frac{5975}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = 2.72[/tex]
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is the probability that the sample mean differs from 39385 by at least 2295, which is P(|Z| > 2.72), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of Z = -2.72.
Looking at the z-table, Z = -2.72 has a p-value of 0.0033
2*0.0033 = 0.0066
The p-value of the test is 0.0066 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean salary differs from $39,385

Answer:
a: t=13.6 cm
b: h=12.9 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let's start with a
in a, we are given a right triangle (notice the right angle), the length of the hypotenuse (the side OPPOSITE from the right angle) as 18 cm, one acute angle given as 41° and the length of one of the legs (the legs are the sides that make up the right angle) as t
We're asked to use the primary trigonometric ratios
Those ratios are:
Sine, which is opposite/hypotenuse
Cosine, which is adjacent/hypotenuse
Tangent, which is opposite/adjacent
We will be basing the ratio off of the 41° angle, so let's find out which sides will be which in reference to that angle
The opposite side will be the other leg, the unmarked side
The adjacent side will be t
The hypotenuse will be the side marked as 18 cm
So let's use cos(41) in this case
cos(41)=t/18
Plug cos(41) into your calculator, and remember to have the calculator in degree mode
cos(41)≈0.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
0.8=t/18
multiply both sides by 18
13.6 cm=t
It's already rounded to the nearest tenth :)
b.
We are given a right triangle, and the lengths of the legs as h and 9 mm, as well as one acute angle as 35°
We'll be basing our ratio off of the 35 degree angle, so let's find which sides will be which in reference to that angle
The opposite side will be the leg marked as 9 mm
The adjacent side will be the leg marked as h
The hypotenuse will be the unmarked side
Since we are given the lengths of the opposite and the adjacent, let's use tan(35)
tan(35)=9/h
Plug tan(35) into your calculator, and remember to have it in degree mode
tan(35)≈0.7
0.7=9/h
multiply both sides by h
0.7h=9
divide both sides by 0.7
h=12.9 mm (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Hope this helps!
