Negative. If a negative number is "larger" (further away from zero) than a positive number, the result will be negative. You're basically subtracting a value that is greater than your starting value.
For example:
8 positive counters plus 18 negative counters:
This can be expressed as 8-18, which equals -10. The sign of the sum is therefore negative.
Answer:
a₁ = 23/100 and r = 1/100
S = 23/99
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of an infinite geometric series is:
S = a₁ / (1 − r)
where a₁ is the first term of the series and r is the common ratio.
0.23 repeating is 0.232323... To convert this to a fraction using the above equation, first we must write this as a series:
0.23 repeating = 0.23 + 0.0023 + 0.000023 + ...
The first term is 0.23, and the common ratio is 0.01.
Therefore, a₁ = 0.23 and r = 0.01. Or, in fraction form, a₁ = 23/100 and r = 1/100.
Plugging this into the equation, we can convert 0.232323... to a fraction.
S = (23/100) / (1 − 1/100)
S = (23/100) / (99/100)
S = 23/99
A is the answer of this question
Answer:
Equation: x(n)=2*4^(n-1)
a6=2048
Step-by-step explanation:
Take note that the common ratio is 4 because 2*4=8, 8*4=32, 32*4=128, and so on...
We will use the equation x(n) = ar^(n-1) where n represents the nth term, r stands for the common ratio, and "a" stands for the first term. We use (n-1) because ar^0 is for the 1st term
Given the first term is a=2, the common ratio is r=4, then we have the equation x(n)=2*4^(n-1)
So, 128*4=512 would be the 5th term, and the 6th term would be 512*4=2048
So a6=2048
