Answer:<u> C 90 In2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle you have to do base times the height divided by two.

So first you would do 18*10=180

THen you would do 180/2=90

So the answer is 90 inches2

What is the sum of the geometric series

lbvjy [14]

If $S$ denotes the sum of the first $n$ terms of a geometric series with first term $a$ and common ratio $r$ , then

$S=a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-3}+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}$
$rS=ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}+ar^n$
$\implies S-rS=a+(ar-ar)+(ar^2-ar^2)+\cdots+(ar^{n-1}-ar^{n-1})-ar^n$
$\implies (1-r)S=a(1-r^n)$
$\implies S=a=\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

Using summation notation, you have

$S=\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^nar^{x-1}=\sum_{x=0}^{n-1}ar^x=a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

In this case, you have $a=2$ , $r=\dfrac12$ , and $n=16$ . So the value of the sum is

$\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^{15}2\left(\frac14\right)^x=2\dfrac{1-\left(\frac14\right)^{16}}{1-\frac14}\approx2.67$

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer would be 3.

The function f(x) = 2x 26 represents the distance a flock of birds travels in in miles. The function g(x) = x − 1 represents the

nydimaria [60]

Speed is the ratio of distance and time. When we divide f(x) by g(x) we will get the speed of the flock that is 9 miles/hour.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the rate of change in the position of an object. It is given as,

$Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

Given to us

Distance traveled, f(x) = 2x+26

Time, g(x) = x − 1

As we know that the ratio of distance and time is equal to the speed of the object. Since the distance traveled by the flock of birds is given also, the time needed for them to travel the distance is also given.

We need to find f divided by g of 5, which is the speed of the flock,

$Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time} = \dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}$
