The sum of the first eight terms in a Geometric Series is 19680 and the sum of the first four terms is 240. A) Find the first term. B) Find the common ratio. C) Justify your answers by showing steps that demonstrates your answers generate S8=19680 and S4=240.
Answer:
First Term = 6
Common Ratio = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question,
Given, The sum of the first eight terms in a Geometric Series is 19680 and the sum of the first four terms is 240 .Thus, [tex]S_{8} = 19680[/tex] & [tex]S_{4} = 240[/tex] .
The Sum of n-term of Geometric Mean is [tex]S_{n} = \frac{a(r^{n-1)} }{r-1}[/tex] Where, r>1 , a=First term of G.P & r=common Ratio .Now, on solving [tex]\frac{S_{8} }{S_{4} }[/tex] we get,
[tex]\frac{19680}{240} = \frac{\frac{a(r^{8-1)} }{r-1}}{\frac{a(r^{4-1)} }{r-1}}[/tex]
[tex]82 = \frac{r^{8}-1 }{r^{4}-1 }[/tex]
[tex]82r^{4}-82 = r^{8}-1\\r^{8}-82r^{4}+81 = 0\\r^{8}-81r^{4}-r^{4}+81 = 0\\(r^{4}-81)( r^{4}-1) =0[/tex](r=1 is not possible so neglect [tex]( r^{4}-1) =0[/tex] )
So, r=3 Now Put this value in [tex]S_{4} = {\frac{a(r^{4-1)} }{r-1}}[/tex] We get a=6 .

Which function vertex form is equivalent to f(x)=x^2+6x+3?
Answer:
y = (x + 3)² - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Given
f(x) = x² + 6x + 3
Using the method of completing the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 6x
f(x) = x² + 2(3)x + 9 - 9 + 3
= (x + 3)² - 6 ← in vertex form

2 consecutive postive nos are such that the sum of their squares is 113. Find the 2 numbers
Answer:
7,8
Step-by-step explanation:
n^2+(n+1)^2=113; this is the information we are provided in the question.
n^2+n^2+2n+1=113 ; just expanding the numbers
2n^2+2n-112=0 ; moving everything to the same side
n^2+n - 56= 0 ; divide everything by two
(n-7)(n+8)=0 : factor the polynomial
so answers for n are: 7 and -8. since the questions asks for positive numbers -8 cannot be correct.
so n=7
n+1 = 8

Matilda and Lorraine work in the mail room of a large company sorting letters. Matilda has already sorted 50 letters and continues sorting at a rate of 50 letters per hour. Lorraine has already sorted 80 letters and continues sorting at a rate of 40 letters per hour.
Which function can Matilda and Lorraine use to determine the total number of letters they have sorted after x hours? How many letters will they have sorted after 6 hours?
A.
The function that describes the total number of letters sorted by Matilda and Lorraine in x hours is given by f(x) = 100x + 120. Thus, they will have sorted 720 letters in 6 hours.
B.
The function that describes the total number of letters sorted by Matilda and Lorraine in x hours is given by f(x) = 90x + 130. Thus, they will have sorted 670 letters in 6 hours.
C.
The function that describes the total number of letters sorted by Matilda and Lorraine in x hours is given by f(x) = 130x + 90. Thus, they will have sorted 870 letters in 6 hours.
D.
The function that describes the total number of letters sorted by Matilda and Lorraine in x hours is given by f(x) = 90x + 30. Thus, they will have sorted 570 letters in 6 hours.

D and E are points on sides AB and AC respectively of triangle ABC such that DE || BC. If AD = x-1, DB = x – 3, AE = x + 3 and EC = x , the value of x is:
9514 1404 393
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.
AE/AD = EC/DB

A food sample contains 300 bacteria. The doubling time for bacteria left at room temperature is 20 minutes. How many minutes will it take to reach an unsafe level of 100000 bacteria?
Answer:
167.6 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is given as:
P(t) = Po × (2)^t/k
Where
P(t) = Population after time t = 100000
Po = Initial population = 300
k = Doubling time = 20 minutes
t = Time = ?
Hence:
100000 = 300 × (2)^t/20
Divide both sides by 300
100000/300 = (300 × (2)^t/20)/300
333.3 = 2^t/20
Take the In of both sides
In 333.3 = In (2^t/20)
In 333.3 = t/20 In 2
Divide both sides by In 2
In 333.3/In 2 =( t/20 In 2)/In 2
8.3806775072 = t/20
Cross Multiply
t = 8.3806775072 × 20
t = 167.61355014 minutes
Approximately = 167.6 minutes
Therefore, the time it will take to reach an unsafe level of 100000 bacteria is 167.6 minutes
The domain of the following relation R {(3, −2), (1, 2), (−1, −4), (−1, 2)} is (1 point)

b

c

d

The domain is set of all x-values. From an ordered pair (x,y) the domain would be the value of x. That means y-value is clear out since it is not domain but range or co-domain.
Given the set of relations below:
R = {(3,-2), (1,2), (-1,-4), (-1,2)}
The domain would be {3,1,-1} which if we arrange from least to greatest, we'd get {-1,1,3}. Remember that we don't write the repetitive numbers or same two numbers in the set.

A 68 year old retiree has a pension savings of $40,000, a 401k of $63,000, and an IRA account of $59,000. Before 2008, he had 2% more cash in the pension, 12% more in the IRA, and 1% more in the 401k. He wants to take out 2% from each account before he turns 72, which will cost him a penalty of an extra 1% from the current total pension amount, 2% from the 401k, and 6% from the IRA. What amount will the retiree have in his IRA account if he takes that money out now? Do not include $ in answer. Example, if answer is $7, put 7.

A and B contributed 2700 and 1800 respectively to start a business. They agreed to share the profit in the ratio 7:5 respectively. If the profit made was 900, Calculate A's share as a percentage of total profit.
Answer:
58.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
A's Contribution = 2700
B's Contribution= 1800
Ratio = 7:5
Profit = 900
Total Ratio = 7+5 = 12
First , Calculate both share of the profit.
A's Share= 7/12 ×900
525
B's share= 5/12 ×900
375
Now , express A's Share as a percentage
A's Share= 525/900 ×100
58.33%

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, let's find the missing angle of the triangle:
180 - 120 - 15 = 45°
That means a solution should have at least 2 solutions from the solution set (15 , 45, 120)
C, is the correct choice.

If you like my answer and explanation, mark me as brainliest!
-Chetan K
Answer:
"C"
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles have all the same corresponding angles, and the total must add to 180 degrees. So the original triangle has angle 1 = 15, 2 = 120, so 3 = 180 - (15 + 120) = 45.
Option C has the same angles.
