How do you calculate the sum of the first k terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio b?

Answers

Answer 1

[tex]S_{k} =\frac{a(1-b^{k}) }{1-b^{k}}[/tex]  is the formula to find sum of the first k terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio b.

What is Sequence?

A sequence is defined as an arrangement of numbers in a particular order.

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term is found by multiplying the preceding term by the same value.

The sum of first k terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio b is given by the formula.

[tex]S_{k} =\frac{a(1-b^{k}) }{1-b^{k}}[/tex]

where b≠0

Where k is number of terms

b is the common ratio and a is the first term.

Hence [tex]S_{k} =\frac{a(1-b^{k}) }{1-b^{k}}[/tex] is the formula to find sum of the first k terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio b.

A group of hikers tracked how long it took to hike a 20-mile trail. They hiked 3.75 miles in 3 hours, 7.5 miles in 6 hours, and 12 miles in 8 hours.

Determine if the relationship between the hikers' distance and time is proportional.

Yes, it is proportional because the ratios for miles per hour are all equivalent to 1.25 miles per hour.
Yes, it is proportional because the ratios for miles per hour are all equivalent to 0.8 miles per hour.
No, it is not proportional because 3.75 miles in 3 hours is not equivalent to 7.5 miles in 6 hours.
No, it is not proportional because 7.5 miles in 6 hours is not equivalent to 12 miles in 8 hours.

Answers

Answer:

No, it is not proportional because 7.5 miles in 6 hours is not equivalent to 12 miles in 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets find out how far they hiked per hour3.75 mi in 3 hourswe need to do 3.75÷3= and we get 1.25 mi an hour now we need to do the next oneit is 7.5 mi in 6 hoursso we are gonna do 7.5÷6=and we get 1.25 mi an hournow lets do the last one12 mi in 8 hourswe are gonna do 12÷9=and we get 1.5 mi in an hourso the 3 hours and 6 hour are proportional so it would be: No, it is not proportional because 7.5 miles in 6 hours is not equivalent to 12 miles in 8 hours.

The correct relationship between the hikers distance and time is;

No, it is not proportional because 7.5 miles in 6 hours is not equivalent to 12 miles in 8 hours.

What is Proportional?

Any relationship that is always in the same ratio and quantity which vary directly with each other is called the proportional.

Given that;

A group of hikers tracked how long it took to hike a 20-mile trail.

And, They hiked 3.75 miles in 3 hours, 7.5 miles in 6 hours, and 12 miles in 8 hours.

Now,

Find the proportional as;

For hiked 3.75 miles in 3 hours,

Proportional = 3.75 / 3

                   = 1.25

For hiked 7.5 miles in 6 hours,

Proportional = 7.5 / 6

                   = 1.25

For hiked 12 miles in 8 hours,

Proportional = 12 / 8

                   = 1.5

Thus, The correct relationship between the hikers distance and time is;

No, it is not proportional because 7.5 miles in 6 hours is not equivalent to 12 miles in 8 hours.

What is Linear Programming?

When the requirements of a mathematical model are represented by linear relationships, the best result can be obtained using a technique known as linear programming (LP), also known as linear optimization. A particular type of mathematical programming is linear programming. Formally speaking, linear programming is a method for optimising a linear objective function under the constraints of linear equality as well as linear inequality. Convex polytopes, a set defined as that of the intersection of a finite number of half spaces, which are defined by a linear inequality, make up its feasible region. A real-valued affine (linear) function defined on the this polyhedron serves as its objective function. If there is a point in the polytope in which this function does have the smallest (or largest) value, a linear programming algorithm locates it.

Let the cost of 1 slice of pizza be x and cost of 1 soda be y.

Now,

Richard bought 3 slices of pizza and 2 sodas for $8.75

Therefore, [tex]3x+2y=8.75[/tex]

Jordan bought 2 slices of pizza and 4 sodas for $8.50

Therefore, [tex]2x+4y=8.50[/tex]

Solving above equations, we get         [tex]x=2.25[/tex] and [tex]y= 1[/tex].

Cost of 1 slice of pizza and 3 sodas = 2.25 + 3*1

                                                           = 2.25 +  3

                                                            = 5.25

Hence, Cost of 1 slice of pizza and 3 sodas = $5.25

Proportion

The proportion can be written different ways. We like to put the unknown value in the numerator. (x is the number of parts of yellow paint)
