Answer:

The sum is -159964.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the sum of a geometric sequence is,

S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\text{ When } |r| < 1

or S_n=\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}\text{ When } |r| > 1

Where, a is the first term of the sequence,

r is the common ratio,

n is the number of terms,

Given, sequence,

–4, 24, –144, …....., up to 7 terms,

Thus, a = - 4

r=\frac{24}{-4}=-6

And, n = 7,

Since, |-6| > 1

Therefore, the sum of the given sequence is,

S_7=\frac{-4((-6)^7-1)}{-6-1}

=\frac{-4(-279936-1)}{-7}

=-\frac{4\times 279937}{7}

=-\frac{1119748}{7}=-159964

Sum of the geometric sequence:
S n = a * ( 1- r^n ) / ( 1 - r )
a = - 4 ( the 1st term of the sequence ),  r = - 6,  n = 7
S 7 = (- 4 ) * ( 1 - ( - 6 )^7 )  / 1 - ( - 6 ) = ( - 4 ) * 279937 / 7 = - 159,964

Which relation is a function of x?<br> 1 {(1,2), (7, 6), (3, 2), (1, 0), (5, 6)}. <br> 3. x=3y²–7
avanturin [10]

Answer:

  The given graph shows a function of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neither 1 nor 3 is a single-valued relation for some values of x. The graph shown passes the vertical line test, so does represent a function.

The graph is a relation that is a function of x.

___

The attached graph is of the equation of 3. A vertical line will intersect the graph in more than one place, so the relation is NOT a function.

From the calculation done below, it can be seen that the cost of one orange is 85 cents.

<h3>How do we determine the cost of a product?</h3>

The cost of one orange can be determined as follows:

One dime = 10 cents

2 dollars = 200 cents

Total amount given by Sue to the store clerk = One dime + 2 dollars = 10 cents + 200 cents = 210 cents

Cost of two oranges = Total amount given by Sue to the store clerk –

Change = 210 cents – 40 cents = 170 cents

Cost of one orange = Cost of two oranges / 2 = 170 cents / 2 = 85 cents

What is the value of z in the equation 2(4z − 9 − 7) = 166 − 46?
kumpel [21]
Hi there!

2(4z - 9 - 7) = 166 - 46
let's make this a little more simpler...

2(4z - 16) = 120

use distributive property.
multiply 2 and 4z , 2 and -16.
8z - 32 = 120

add 32 on both sides to isolate the variable

8z = 152

divide both sides by 8...

z = 19

So your answer is A. 19

Hope this helped!! :)
