Sum of geometric sequence

for the sum where the initial value is a₁ and the common ratio is r and the term is n

S_n= \frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}

common ratio is -3
-5 times -3 is 15, -15 times -3=-45 etc
first term is -5
and we want the 8th term

S_8= \frac{-5(1-(-3)^8)}{1-(-3)}
S_8= \frac{-5(1-6561)}{1+3}
S_8= \frac{-5(-6560)}{4}
S_8= \frac{32800}{4}
S_8= 8200


the sum is 8200

Consider a picnic. if you want to buy enough hot dogs and buns without having any left over, you need to balance the number of p
Leni [432]
No guarantee that there will enough hotdogs for the buns, we must find the common multiple between the usual number of hot dogs and buns in each package.

Since we're looking for the smallest common multiple between 8 and 10, we can use the method shown below to compute for the least common multiple. 

8 = 2³ 
10 = 2 x 5
LCM = 2³ x 5 = 40

To purchase 40 hot dogs and buns, you need to buy 5 packages of buns and 4 packages of hot dogs.

Answer:

Hotdog: 4 packages
Buns: 5 packages

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

A type I error is committed when a researcher rejects the null hypothesis when it is actually true.

The null hypothesis is: U <= 50%

The alternative is: U > 50%

Thus, the principal could have committed an error by rejecting null hypothesis and concluding that more than 50% of students want earlier lunch, when in actuality 50% or less want earlier lunch.

Jalil and Victoria are each asked to solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x. Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x becaus
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the expression ax – c = bx + d, we are isolate x i.e we are to make x the subject of the formula.

ax – c = bx + d

Step 1: subtract bx from both sides

ax – c = bx + d

ax-bx = d+c

Step 2: Factor out x in the left hand side of the resulting expression

x(a-b) = d+c

Step 3: Divide both sides by the coefficient of i.e (a-b)

\frac{x(a-b)}{a-b} = \frac{d+c}{a-b}

x = \frac{d+c}{a-b}

Hence Victoria can justify the step 3 of her work by dividing both sides of the expression in 2 by a-b
