Find S8 for the geometric series 3 + -6 + 12 + -24 +…
the sum of the first 8 terms of the series is [tex]\( -255 \)[/tex].
To find the sum [tex]\( S_8 \)[/tex] of the geometric series [tex]\( 3 - 6 + 12 - 24 + \ldots \)[/tex], we need to determine the common ratio [tex](\( r \))[/tex] and the first term [tex](\( a \)).[/tex]
The general form of a geometric series is [tex]\( a + ar + ar^2 + \ldots + ar^{n-1} \)[/tex], where:
- [tex]\( a \)[/tex] is the first term,
- [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is the common ratio,
- [tex]\( n \)[/tex] is the number of terms.
In our series:
- [tex]\( a = 3 \)[/tex] (the first term),
- To find the common ratio [tex](\( r \))[/tex], we can divide any term by its preceding term:
- [tex]\( \frac{-6}{3} = -2 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \frac{12}{-6} = -2 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \frac{-24}{12} = -2 \)[/tex]
So, [tex]\( r = -2 \)[/tex].
Now, [tex]\( S_n \)[/tex], the sum of the first [tex]\( n \)[/tex] terms of a geometric series, is given by the formula:
[tex]\[ S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r} \][/tex]
Substituting the values of [tex]\( a \), \( r \)[/tex], and [tex]\( n = 8 \)[/tex], we get:
[tex]\[ S_8 = \frac{3(1 - (-2)^8)}{1 - (-2)} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ S_8 = \frac{3(1 - 256)}{1 + 2} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ S_8 = \frac{3(-255)}{3} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ S_8 = -255 \][/tex]
So, the sum of the first 8 terms of the series is [tex]\( -255 \)[/tex].

Mr. Rr the Rreliable Rrobot has been programmed to whistle every $18$ seconds and do a jumping jack every $42$ seconds, starting from the moment he is turned on. (For example, he does his first jumping jack $42$ seconds after he is turned on.)
How many times during the first $15$ minutes after activation will Mr. Rr whistle and do a jumping jack at the same instant?
Answer:
7 times during the first 15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that
[tex]1\ min=60\ sec[/tex]
so
[tex]15\ min=15(60)=900\ sec[/tex]
Decompose the numbers 18 and 42 in prime factors
we know that
[tex]18=(2)(3^2)[/tex]
[tex]42=(2)(3)(7)[/tex]
Find the least common multiple (LCM)
The LCM is
[tex](2)(3^2)(7)=126\ sec[/tex]
we need to find all multiples of 126 that are less than or equal 900.
[tex]126*1=126\ sec\\126*2=252\ sec\\126*3=378\ sec\\126*4=504\ sec\\126*5=630\ sec\\126*6=756\ sec\\126*7=882\ sec[/tex]
therefore
7 times during the first 15 minutes

You will be charged 12.5% interest on a loan of $678. how much interest will you pay on the loan?
It is given in the question that
You will be charged 12.5% interest on a loan of $678.
So to find the interest, we have to find 12.5% of 678. And 12.5% = 0.125
So we have to find the value of 0.125 of 678.
[tex]0.125*678 = 84.75[/tex]
Therefore the interest that you will have to pay on loan is $84.75 .

Answer:
B. The amount spent on grapes compared with the weight of the purchase.
Step-by-step explanation:
Grapes are usually sold at some dollar amount per pound. That dollar amount is the "rate of change," and it is generally constant.
___
In the case of pizza delivery or bus ridership, it is hard to imagine what the "rate of change" might be, as the relationship is probably not a function.

A shoe repairman is working with his assistant, who takes twice as long to repair a pair of shoes. Together they can fix 16 pairs of shoes in an eight-hour day. How long does it take the repairman to fix one pair of shoes by himself?
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{Answer: \tex{ }$45$ minutes}}[/tex]
Hello!
The number of pairs of shoes each man can repair is its speed times the time.
Call x the repair speed of the assistant. Then, the repair speed of the repairman is 2x, and the joint speed is 2x + x = 3x.
Also, the joint speed is 16 pairs in 8 hours = 16 pairs/ 8 hours = 2 pairs/hour.
Thus, we can equate:
[tex]3x = 2 pairs/hour, \text { or } x = (2/3) pairs / hour.$\\[/tex]
That is the speed of the assistant. Then, the speed of the repairman is:
[tex]2x = 2 (2/3) pairs/hour\\2x = (4/3) pairs/hour.[/tex]
That means that the repairman takes the inverse of 4/3 of an hour to repair one pair of shoes. That is 3/4 of an hour (to repair on pair)
3/4 of an hour is 45 minutes and this is the answer.To find out how long it takes the repairman alone to fix a pair of shoes, we solve a joint work rate problem. By setting equations based on their combined and individual work rates, we find out it takes the repairman 0.75 hours or 45 minutes to fix one pair of shoes by himself.
Explanation:To determine how long it takes the repairman to fix one pair of shoes by himself, we start by establishing the rates at which both the repairman and his assistant work.
Let's denote the time it takes the repairman to repair one pair of shoes by x hours.
Since the assistant takes twice as long, their time would be 2x hours for one pair.
Working together, their combined rate allows them to fix 16 pairs in 8 hours, or 2 pairs per hour.
Now, we express their combined work rate as the sum of their individual work rates.
The repairman's rate is 1/x pairs per hour, and the assistant's rate is 1/(2x) pairs per hour.
Together, this should equal their combined rate of 2 pairs per hour:
1/x + 1/(2x) = 2
Solving this equation for x, we first find a common denominator and get:
2/2x + 1/2x = 2
3/2x = 2
3 = 4x
x = 3/4
Therefore, it takes the repairman 0.75 hours, or 45 minutes, to fix one pair of shoes by himself.

Find the possible value or values of n in the quadratic equation 2n2 – 7n + 6 = 0
Answer:
[tex]n=\frac{3}{2},\,\,n=2[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation you have is a quadratic equation because the polynomial [tex]2n^{2}-7n+6[/tex] has degree 2. One of the methods available to solve kind of equations is to factorize the polynomial on the left hand side. To factorize you can do the following:
(1) [tex]2n^2-7n+6[/tex]. The given polinomial
(2) [tex]\frac{2\times(2n^2-7n+6)}{2}=\frac{(2n)^{2}-7(2n)+12}{2}[/tex]. Multiply and divide by 2, because it is the coeficient of [tex]n^{2}[/tex]
(3) [tex]\frac{(2n)^{2}-7(2n)+12}{2}=\frac{(2n-\_\_)(2n-\_\_)}{2}[/tex]. Separate the polynomial in two factors, each one with [tex]2n[/tex] as a first term. The sign in the first factor is equal to the sign in the second term of the polynomial, that is to say, [tex]-7n[/tex]. The sign in the second factor is the sign of the second term multiplied by the sign of the third term, that is to say [tex](-)\times(+)=(-)[/tex] . In the blanks you should select two numbers whose sum is 7 and whose product is 12. Those numbers must be 3 and 4.
(4)The polynomial factorized is [tex]\frac{(2n-4)(2n-3)}{2}[/tex]
(5)Use the common factor in the numerator to cancel the number 2 in the denominator to obtain [tex](n-2)(2n-3)[/tex]
Then the given equation can be written as:
[tex]{(2n-3)(n-2)=0[/tex]
The product of two expression equals zero if and only if one of the expression is zero. From here we have that
[tex]2n-3=0[/tex] or [tex]n-2=0[/tex]
From the first equality we obtain that [tex]n=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]. From the second equality we obtain that [tex]n=2[/tex].
If the lengths of two of the possible sides of a right triangle measure 4 root 15 and 7 root 6 what is the smallest possible length of the third side
find the magnitude of 6+2i
Final answer:
The magnitude of 6 + 2i is 2√10.
Explanation:
To find the magnitude of the complex number 6 + 2i, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The magnitude, or absolute value, of a complex number is found by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of its real and imaginary parts. In this case, the real part is 6 and the imaginary part is 2. So the magnitude is:
|6 + 2i| = √(6^2 + 2^2) = √(36 + 4) = √40 = 2√10
Therefore, the magnitude of 6 + 2i is 2√10.

What is the equation of the following line? Be sure to scroll down first to see all answer options.
Answer:
Option C. is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of line is represented as y = mx + c
where m = slope of the line
c = y - intercept
Since line is passing through origin (0, 0) and a point (6, 2)
Therefore y intercept of the line will be 0.
c = 0
Slope of the line [tex]m=\frac{y-y'}{x-x'}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{2-0}{6-0}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
So the equation will be
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]
Therefore, option C. is the answer.

The state of wyoming has roughly the shape of a rectangle that is 3.6 x 102 miles long and 2.8 x 102 miles high. what is the approximate area of wyoming? hint: the area of a rectangle is product of its length and width.
Assuming a regularly shaped rectangle, the formula for the area is given as:
A = L * W
where L and W are the length and width respectively
A = 3.6 x 10^2 miles * 2.8 x 10^2 miles
A = 100,800 square miles
or
A = 10.08 x 10^2 miles
Answer: The area of wyoming is [tex]A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape of wyoming is rectangular with length , [tex]L=3.6\times 10^{2}\, miles[/tex]
and height , [tex]H=2.8\times 10^{2}\, miles[/tex]
Area of rectangle , [tex]A=L\times W[/tex]
=> [tex]A=(3.6\times 10^{2})\times (2.8\times 10^{2})\, miles^{2}[/tex]
=>[tex]A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}[/tex]
Thus the area of wyoming is [tex]A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}[/tex]

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x + 7) is a factor, what else must be true?
f(0)=7
f(0)=-7
f(7)=0
f(-7)=0
Answer:
f(-7)=0 that is option 4th is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have given any polynomial then its factor means that value is giving zero of that polynomial
And opposite sign of factor is the zero of the polynomial
For example:
x+a is factor of any polynomial f(x) then f(-a)=0
Similarly, If x+7 is a factor of any polynomial then f(-7)=0
Hence, option 4th is correct.
