=====================================================
Explanation:
A sequence is simply a list of values. There may or may not be a pattern to the list, though usually in a math class your teacher would use a pattern.
A series is where we add partial sums of a certain sequence to form a new sequence. For example, let's say A = {44, 44, 44, ...} is one sequence and we could form a list of partial sums to be B = {44, 88, 132, ...} The 88 is from adding the first two terms of sequence A together. The 132 is from adding the first three terms of sequence A. This process is continued forever.
For a series to be convergent, the terms must approach some finite single value. They likely won't actually reach this value but they should get closer and closer (think of it like an asymptote). When I formed series B shown above, note how the terms keep growing. It turns out they won't stop growing either and that means the series diverges to positive infinity. So we rule out choice B. The same happens for choices A and C as well.
To make sure the series approaches some finite value, the underlying sequence its based on must have the terms approaching 0. Choice D seems to have this happen. The terms of the sequence are getting smaller and smaller. Adding on smaller pieces will produce terms in a series that would likely get us closer to some finite target.
Keep in mind that not all decreasing sequences have a converging series. A famous example would be the harmonic sequence {1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...} which its series does not converge. The proof of this lengthy so I'll leave it out.
In the case of choice D, it is a geometric sequence with a = 120 as the starting term and r = 0.8 as the common ratio. The series converges to
S = a/(1-r) = 120/(1-0.8) = 600

In the later afternoon on a sunny day, Shanice goes outside with a tape measure. She first measures her shadow which is 7 feet 6 inches long. She then measures the shadow of the oak tree in the back yard which is a whopping 74 feet 3 inches. Not content to stop there, she also measures the shadow of her house (taking the longest measurement possible) and finds that it is 28 feet 6 inches. Using this information, find out how much taller the tree is than the house if Shanice's actual height is 5 feet 10 inches.
Answer:
29 feets 3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to obtain the actual height of oak tree :
Converting measurement to inches :.
1 Feet = 12 inches
Shanice height, SA = 5ft 10 in = (12*5 + 10) = 70 in
Shanice shadow, SS = 7ft 6in = (12*7 + 6) = 90 in
Tree shadow, TS = 74ft 3 in =(12*74 + 3) = 891 in
Let actual tree height = TH
Using the relation :
SA / SS = TH / TS
70 / 90 = TH / 891
Cross multiply :
90 * TH = 891 * 70
TH = (891 * 70) / 90
TH = 693 inches
Height of house = 28ft 6 in = (28*12 + 6) = 342 in
Height difference :
(693 - 342) in = 351 inches
351 in / 12 = 29 feets 3 inches

What is the volume, in cubic ft, of a rectangular prism with a height of 17ft, a width of 11ft, and a length of 18ft?
Answer:
The answer is 3366 cubic feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of the rectangular prism, use the formula for a rectangular prism, which is V= LWH. Next, plug in the information given from the question, and the formula will look like V= (18ft) (11ft) (17ft).
Then, solve the equation for the answer, and the answer will be 3366 cubic feet.
Answer:3366

At Safeway, a pound of apples cost $1.32. Mrs. Terry purchased 7.5 pounds of apples. How much money did
Mrs. Terry spend on apples?
Answer:
the answer is $1.32×7.5=$9.9
Answer:
£9.90
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways you can do this. Both are similar.
For the first method it's much quicker but you might need a calculator.
You would simply do 7.5 × 1.32 = £9.90 that should give you the answer.
If you were to do it with out a calculator then what you need to do is 7 × 1.32 = 9.24
Because there is still 0.5 (or 1/2) left from the 7 that you multiplied, you do 1.32 ÷ 2 = 0.66.
Add the 2 numbers together
0.66 + 9.24 = £9.90

Answer:
3.1 in
Step-by-step explanation:
a² + b² =c²
12=c
11.6=b
c²- b² = a²
12²-11.6²= 9.44
√9.44 = 3.07 Rounded = 3.1 in
A triangular prism whose total surface area = 64 cm2, and its lateral area = 40 cm2, find the area of its base?
Answer:
Area of its base = 12cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The Area of its base = 1/2 of its surface area - 1/2 of its lateral area
Its surface area = 64, then 1/2 X 64 = 32cm²
Its lateral area = 40, then 1/2 X 40 = 20cm²
So, Area of its base = 32 - 20 = 12cm²

A scientist has a sample of the radioactive isotope bismuth-212. The isotope decays exponentially as shown in the table. Time (seconds) Mass (grams) 10 26.8 20 23.9 30 21.3 40 19.0 50 16.9 60 15.1 Which equation best represents the curve of best fit for this set of data? A. f(x) = 29 • 0.989x B. f(x) = 27 • 1.011x C. f(x) = 30 • 0.989x D. f(x) = 28 • 0.234x
Answer:
f(x) = 30 • 0.989x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data :
10 26.8
20 23.9
30 21.3
40 19
50 16.9
60 15.1
Using technology, the exponential model equation obtained by plotting the data is :
y = 30.068(0.989)^x
Based on the general exponential formula :
y = ab^x
y = predicted value
Initial value, a = 30.068
Rate = b = 0.989
The most appropriate model equation from the options given is :
f(x) = 30 • 0.989^x
What is the radius of each semicircle in this composite figure?
Answer:
2cm
Step-by-step explanation:
First, it is important to define both the radius and diameter. A diameter is the length of a line through the center of a circle that touches two points on the edge.
In the semicircle on the top, if we can imagine it making up a full circle, we can note that the bottom center of the semicircle is the center of the full circle, with the line of length 4cm going right through it. Similarly, for the bottom semicircle, as the line between the semicircles is straight, the diameter for that one is 4cm as well.
The radius is equal to half of the diameter. The diameter is 4cm, so the radius is 4cm/2 = 2cm

Answer:
Area of triangle is 23 yd².
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
Base of triangle = 8 yd
Height of triangle = 6 yd
To find
Area of triangle
Solution :-
we know that,
Area of triangle = 1 / 2 × base × height
substitute the values
Area of triangle = 1/2 × 8 yd × 6 yd
multiplying the values
Area of triangle = 1/2 × 46 yd²
divide the values
Area of triangle = 46 yd ² /2 = 23 yd².
Therefore, Area of triangle is 23 yd ².
