Answer: C

\left \{ {{a_{1}=4 } \atop {a_{n}=a_{n-1}*(-3)  }} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting amount (a1) = 4

The rate is -3 because 4 * -3 = 12 and -12 and -12 * -3 = 36 etc.

Answer: C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number is a positive 4, which is your a1. Then the geometric sequence goes to a negative implying that it is multiplied by a negative. So the a1 = 4 and it is being multiplied by a negative 3.

Not an expertise on infinite sums but the most straightforward explanation is that infinity isn't a number.

Let's see if there are anything we missed:

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=1+2+4+8+16+...

n=0

We multiply (2-1) on both sides:

       ∞

(2-1)  Σ  2^n=(2-1)1+2+4+8+16+...

      n=0

And we expand;

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=(2+4+8+16+32+...)-(1+2+4+8+16+...)

n=0

But now, imagine that the expression 1+2+4+8+16+... have the last term of 2^n, where n is infinity, then the expression of 2+4+8+16+32+... must have the last term of 2(2^n), then if we cancel out the term, we are still missing one more term to write:

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=-1+2(2^n)

n=0

If n is infinity, then 2^n must also be infinity. So technically, this goes back to infinity.

Although we set a finite term for both expressions, the further we list the terms, they will sooner or later approach infinity.

Yep, this shows how weird the infinity sign is.

Answer:

The soda costs 2.20 and the sandwich costs 7.70

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, set the soda cost as x. We now know that the sandwich cost is 3.5x. Add these together and set equal to 9.90

x + 3.5x = 9.90

4.5x = 9.90

x = 2.20

This is the cost of the soda. Now we can multiply that by 3.5 to get the sandwich cost.

3.5 * 2.20 = 7.70
