Find the sum of the first 6 terms in the sequence -5 -25 -125 -625

1 answer:

5 0

This is a geometric sequence, so use the formula for the sum of a geometric sequence:
Sum = (a(r^n - 1))/(r - 1)
where a is the first term, -5
r is the common ratio, 5
and n is the number of terms

Thus,
Sum = ((-5)(5^6 - 1))/(5-1) = -19530

velikii [3]

If you would like to solve (40 * x * 64 * y) / (5 * x * 8 * y), you can calculate this using the following steps:

(40 * x * 64 * y) / (5 * x * 8 * y) = 8 * 8 = 64

The correct result would be 64.

EXPLANATION: By definition two lines are said to be parallel when the distance between two lines is same when measured from any point on one line.

However the criteria for intersection is that the distance between two lines should change and eventually should change to zero at intersection point.
