The sum formula for a geometric sequaence is:
sum(n) = a1(1-r^n)/1-r
Where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio:
s(8) = 3(1-1/2^8) / (1-1/2)
s(8) = 3(1-1/256) / 1/2
s(8) = 2 253/256 / 1/2
s(8) = 765/128
The answer is C.
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
2 + m
Rewrite with variable first.
m + 2
m + 2
Can’t be simplified further.
m - (-2)
Distribute negative sign.
m + 2
-2-m
Rewrite with variable first.
-m - 2
The last expression is not equivalent to m+2.

Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial
is a second-order polynomial of the form
. By direct comparison, we construct the following system of equations:
(1)
(2)
By (1) we know that there are a family of pairs such that the system of equations is satisfied. Let suppose that both
and
are integers. We assume two arbitrary integers for
