Identify the following series as arithmetic, geometric, both, or neither
[tex]2x + 2 {x}^{2} + 2 {x}^{3} + ... + 2 {x}^{n} [/tex]

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The series is

[tex]2x+2x^2+2x^3+...+2x^n[/tex]

To find:

Whether the given series is arithmetic, geometric, both, or neither.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]2x+2x^2+2x^3+...+2x^n[/tex]

Difference between consecutive terms are:

[tex]d_1=a_2-a_1[/tex]

[tex]d_1=2x^2-2x[/tex]

[tex]d_1=2x(x-1)[/tex]

And,

[tex]d_2=a_3-a_2[/tex]

[tex]d_2=2x^3-2x^2[/tex]

[tex]d_2=2x^2(x-1)[/tex]

Here, [tex]d_1\neq d_2[/tex].

So, the given series is not an arithmetic series.

Ratio between consecutive terms are:

[tex]r_1=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}[/tex]

[tex]r_1=\dfrac{2x^2}{2x}[/tex]

[tex]r_1=x[/tex]

And,

[tex]r_2=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}[/tex]

[tex]r_2=\dfrac{2x^3}{2x^2}[/tex]

[tex]r_2=x[/tex]

Similarly upto last pair of consecutive terms.

[tex]r_{n-1}=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}[/tex]

[tex]r_{n-1}=\dfrac{2x^n}{2x^{n-1}}[/tex]

[tex]r_{n-1}=x[/tex]

Since, [tex]r_1=r_2=...=r_{n-1}[/tex], so the given series have a common ratio.

Therefore, it is a geometric series.

Answer: 140%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the coats = $45 each

Selling price of the coat = $63 each

The percent of the purchase price that is the sales price would be:

= 63/45 × 100

= 7/5 × 100

= 140%

Therefore, the answer is 140%.

When 17 is divided by K ; where k is a positive integer less than 17 the remainder is 3 .What is the remainder when the sum of the beta possible values of Kivided by 17.

Answers

Answer:

The remainder is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not correctly stated. It is therefore correctly restated before answering the question as follows:

When 17 is divided by k; where k is a positive integer less than 17, the remainder is 3. What is the remainder when the sum of the possible values of k is divided by 17?

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Since k < 17, it implies that the possible values of k must be from between 1 and 16 inclusive.

Between 1 and 16, only 7 or 14 will give a remainder of 3 when either of them is used to divide 17. Therefore, 7 and 14 are the possible values of k.

Therefore, we have:

Sum of the possible values of k = 7 + 14 = 21

Also, we have:

Sum of the possible values of k divided by 17 = 21 / 17 = 1 with a remainder of 4.

Therefore, the remainder is 4 when the sum of the possible values of k is divided by 17.

You decide to market your own custom computer software. You must invest $3,255 for computer hardware, and spend $2.90 to buy and package each disk. If each program sells for $13.75, write a system of equations and determine how many disks you must sell to break even.

Answers

Answer:

13.75x = 3,255 + 2.90x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Amount invested on computer hardware = $3,255

Amount invested to buy and package each disk = $2.90

Selling price for each program = $13.75

We need to find the equation that is used to find how many disks you must sell to break even. Let there are n disks that you must sell.

ATQ,

$3,255 is a fixed amount. $2.90 and $13.75 depends on x.

So,

13.75x = 3,255 + 2.90x

We can solve the above equation to find the no. of disks.

13.75x - 2.90x = 3255

10.85x = 3255

x = 300

Hence, you must sell 300 disks to break even.

What time is it exactly 1,440,000 minutes after 10 pm

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 11 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

1,440,000 minutes is the same as 24,000 hours. Then, you add that to 10pm of that day and you get 11 pm. It is the same as multiplying 24 x 1000 hrs. it is like adding 1000 days to that since it is 24 hrs in one day. Hope this helped!!

Answer:

11:00 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

1,440,000 minutes, convert it into hours and you get 24,000 hours. Since 24 hours equal a day 24,000 is 1,000 days. Attach 10:00 pm since its exactly 1,000 days after and you get 11:00 pm.

In the worlds coolest freezer sodium gas was cool to temperature of 78.5 below zero and then called 194.65 more what was the new temperature of the sodium gas

Answers

Answer:

[tex]-273.15^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]T_i[/tex] = Initial temperature of sodium gas = [tex]-78.5^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = Change in temperature of sodium gas = [tex]-194.65^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex]

[tex]T_f[/tex] = Final temperature of sodium gas

Change in temperature of gas is given by

[tex]\Delta T=T_f-T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=\Delta T+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=-194.65+(-78.5)\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=-273.15^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex]

The new temperature of sodium gas is [tex]-273.15^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex].

A company loses $5,400 as the result of a manufacturing defect. Each of the 8 owners have agreed to contribute an equal amount, x, to help pay for the losses.

Part A
Which expression shows the total loss after the owners contribute some money?

Answers

Answer:

x=$5400:8

$5400:8x = total loss after the owners contribution

The expression shows the total loss after the owners contribute some money is 8x = 5400

Equation

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount contributed by each owner as loss.

Since there are 8 owners sharing a loss of $5400, hence:

8x = 5400

x = 675

The expression shows the total loss after the owners contribute some money is 8x = 5400

I have a half-full bottle of water and it has more than 8 ounces in it. What would be the expression

Answers

Answer:

The equivalent expression is [tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot V_{max} > 8\,oz[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The best approach consists in translating the sentence given in the question into mathematical terms until an expression is complete:

(i) I have a half-full bottle of water

Translation: I use a bottle with a maximum volume capacity [tex]V_{max}[/tex], measured in ounces, a half of it is full of water:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot V_{max}[/tex]

(ii) And it has more than 8 ounces in it

Translation: The volume occupied by the water is greater than 8 ounces. Hence, we get the following inequation:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot V_{max} > 8\,oz[/tex]

Find the solution of the system of equations.
- 7x – 4y = -44
7x - 3y = 16

Answers

Answer:

{x,y} = {5,8}

Step-by-step explanation:

 [1]           7x-3y+5=16

 [2]           4y=3x+17

 

  [1]    7x - 3y = 11

  [2]    -3x + 4y = 17

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  y  

 

 [2]    4y = 3x + 17

 [2]    y = 3x/4 + 17/4

// Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]

  [1]    7x - 3•(3x/4+17/4) = 11

  [1]    19x/4 = 95/4

  [1]    19x = 95

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  x  

  [1]    19x = 95  

  [1]    x = 5  

// By now we know this much :

   x = 5

   y = 3x/4+17/4

// Use the  x  value to solve for  y  

   y = (3/4)(5)+17/4 = 8

The cafeteria menu will also be changed to eliminate junk food. I believe this is an unnecessary and costly decision that limits students options and rights. (2) Those in favor of the proposal are motivated by health concerns, specifically high levels of obesity among students. It may be true that obesity is a serious problem, but banning foods is not the right way to address it. For example, a United States Department of Agriculture study points out that students get less than one third of their daily calories at school. They eat most of their food at home, where the ban does not apply. So it is unlikely the boards action alone will reduce obesity. (3) Learning to make good choices and taking responsibility for our actions is an important part of education. The Hillside School Handbook says that on page 23. In keeping with that ideal, we should teach students more about nutrition so that they choose healthier meals. An across-the-board ban on certain foods suggests that students cant make responsible decisions. The ban weakens personal responsibility. (4) How do you define junk food? Are cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, and pizza really junk? They are if you read the fine print in the school boards plan. According to the cafeteria staff, however, they notice these meals are far more popular among students than other entrees. If the school board plans to replace these meals with brown rice, carrot sticks, and raisins, no one will want to buy the meals. (5) The boards decision has financial implications too. According to last years school budget, Hillside received over $15,000 from the owners of the vending machines. That money went directly toward the schools academic program.
