Answer:

a₁ = 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given values in the formula for the sum of a geometric series, and solve for the unknown.

S₆ = a₁×(1 -r⁶)/(1 -r) . . . . sum of 6 terms of a geometric series

922.32 = a₁×(1 -(4/5)⁶)/(1 -4/5) = a₁×5×(1 -4096/15625) = a₁×11529/3125

922.32×3125/11529 = a₁ = 250 . . . . divide by the coefficient of a₁

Evaluate cube root of 5 multiplied by square root of 5 over cube root of 5 to the power of 5.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Option d) 5 to the power of negative 5 over 6 is correct.

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{\bf 5} \times \sqrt{\bf 5}}{\sqrt[3]{\bf 5^{\bf 5}}}= 5^{\frac{\bf -5}{\bf 6}}$

Above equation can be written as 5 to the power of negative 5 over 6.

ie, $5^\frac{\bf -5}{\bf 6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that cube root of 5 multiplied by square root of 5 over cube root of 5 to the power of 5.

It can be written as below

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5} \times \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt[3]{5^5}}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5} \times \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt[3]{5^5}}= \dfrac{5^{\frac{1}{3}} \times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}}{5^{\frac{5}{3}}}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5} \times \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt[3]{5^5}}= \dfrac{5^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}}}{5^{\frac{5}{3}}}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5} \times \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt[3]{5^5}}= \dfrac{5^{\frac{2+3}{6}}}{5^{\frac{5}{3}}}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5} \times \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt[3]{5^5}}= 5^{\frac{5}{6}} \times 5^{\frac{-5}{3}}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5} \times \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt[3]{5^5}}= 5^{\frac{5-10}{6}}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5} \times \sqrt{5}}{5^5}= 5^{\frac{-5}{6}}$

Above equation can be written as 5 to the power of negative 5 over 6.

Answer:

-infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in numbers for x that is on the right side of the graph and you will see a trend that the larger x is the bigger y is(technically smaller because y would be negative due to the negative sign outside the square root) as x approaches inifity y approaches negative infinity.
