find the solution!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin^{-1} \frac{ \sqrt{2}\ }{ 2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sin is equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\) when its angle is \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), so that's your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is therea solution to this Find the sum of the geometric sequence 100, 50, 25,…

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. You should memorize the sum of an infinite geometric series: \(\frac{a_1}{1-r}\). Your first time (\(a_1\)) is 100, and the ratio is \(\frac{1}{2}\), so the sum is \(\frac{100}{1-\tfrac{1}{2}} = 200\).

ok what about this one Find the sum of the first 31 terms of the sequence 12, 10, 8, …

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 84 or 1302?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's an arithmetic series, which you sum by \(\frac{n\left(a_1+a_n\right)}{2}\). \(n=31\), and the last term will be \(12-2\cdot30=-48\), so you have \(\frac{31(12-48)}{2}=-558\) is your sum.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm assuming they mean the sequence is 12,10,8,6,4,2,0,-2,-4, etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok and yes so i must have calculated wrong
