How many terms are there in a geometric series if the first term is 3, the common ratio is 4 and the sum of the series is 1,023
1 answer:
The sum of a geometric sequence is:
s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r) in our case:
s(n)=3(1-4^n)/(1-4)
s(n)=-(1-4^n)
s(n)=(4^n)-1 and s=1023
(4^n)-1=1023
4^n=1024
n ln4=ln1024
n=(ln1024)/(ln4)
n=5

Both x and y equal 2.
2•2=4 + 2•2=4
4+4=8
2+2=4
The answer looks like it could be b
7 5/12 or 7.41
17 1/21 or 17.04
12.5 because 400/32 is 12.5 lol I used a calculator
