Evaluate the infinite geometric series ​\(0.4 + 0.12 + 0.036 + 0.0108 + \dotsb\)

\(a_1=0.4\\ q=\dfrac{0.12}{0.40}=0.3\\ \dfrac{lim\ s_n}{n\to \infty}= \dfrac{a_1}{1-q}=\dfrac{0.4}{1-0.3}\\ \color{blue}\dfrac{lim\ s_n}{n\to \infty}=s= \dfrac{4}{7}=0.\overline{571428}\)

How many miles did I drive?

Ich fuhr mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 40 Meilen pro Stunde zum Strand. Wenn ich stattdessen mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 55 Meilen pro Stunde gefahren wäre, wäre ich 25 Minuten früher angekommen. Wie viele Meilen bin ich gefahren?

\(40\ mph\cdot t=55\ mph(t-25\ min)\\ 40t=55t-1375\ min\\ 15t=1375\ min\\ t=91\frac{2}{3}\ min\)

\(s=v\cdot t=40\ mph\cdot 91\frac{2}{3}\ min\cdot \frac{h}{60\ min}\\ \color{blue}s=61.111\ miles\)

\(Find\ the\ measure\ of\ \angle MON\ in\ degrees.\)

\(\angle CAO+\angle CBO=45°\ |\ peripheral\ \angle \ to\ 90°\ (\angle AOB)\\ \angle MON=90°-\angle CAO+90°-\angle CBO\\ =180°-(\angle CAO+\angle CBO)=180°-45°\\ \color{blue}\angle MON=135° \)

Find AE.

\(\triangle DEF\ is\ equilateral. \\ DA = 3,\ AF = 2,\ EF=5\\ \angle AFE=60°\)

Pythagorean trigonometric theorem: \(a²=b²+c²-2bc\cdot cos\ \alpha \)

\(\overline{AE}\ ^2=\overline{AF}\ ^2+\overline{EF}\ ^2-cos\ (AFE)\\\overline{AE}\ ^2=2^2+5^2-2\cdot 5\cdot cos\ 60^°\\ \overline{AE}= \sqrt{29-2\cdot 5\cdot0.5}\\ \color{blue }\overline{AE}= \sqrt{24}=4.899\)

Find the area of triangle ABC.

\(Point\ X\ is\ on\ side\ BC.\\ AX=13,\ BX=10,\ CX=10\\ \triangle XAB\ symmetrical\ \triangle XAC \\ \color{blue}A_{ABC}= \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot (10+10)\cdot 13=130\)

What is BX?

Angle B is 90°. Angle BXA is 90°.

So BX is the height of the Thales circle with radius 5.

Write the equation of this line in the form Ax + By = C

\(m=\dfrac{y_p-y_q}{x_p-x_q}=\dfrac{2-7}{-8-4}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\ y=m(x-x_q)+y_q\\ y=\frac{5}{12}(x-4)-7\\ y=\frac{5}{12}x-\frac{5}{3}-7\\ -\frac{5}{12}x+y=-\frac{5}{3}-7\\ \dfrac{-5x+12y}{12}=\dfrac{-20-84}{12}\\ \dfrac{5x-12y}{12}=\dfrac{20+84}{12}\)
