Let:

x = Chemistry textbooks sold

y = Physics textbooks sold

The textbook store sold a combined total of 260, so:

x+y=260

The number of chemistry books sold was three times the number of physics textbooks sold, so:

x=3y

Let:

\begin{gathered} x+y=260_{\text{ }}(1) \\ x=3y_{\text{ }}(2) \end{gathered}

Replace (2) into (1):

\begin{gathered} 3y+y=260 \\ 4y=260 \\ y=\frac{260}{4} \\ y=65 \end{gathered}

Replace the value of y into (2):

\begin{gathered} x=3(65) \\ x=195 \end{gathered}

For the following geometric sequence find the explicit formula {1,-3,9,...}
Zarrin [17]
The first term of this series (a+1) is 1 and the common ratio (r) is -3.

Thus, the explicit formula is a_n = 1*(-3)^(n-1).

Must check this!  suppose we try to calculate the 3rd term.  Then n = 3.

a_3 = 1*(-3)^(3-1) = (-3)^2 = 9.  This is correct.
