Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{a_{1}(r^n-1) }{r-1}$

Here a₁ = 4 and r = - 3, thus

$S_{6}$ = $\frac{4((-3)^6-1)}{-3-1}$

= $\frac{4(729-1)}{-4}$ = - (729 - 1) = - 728 → C

Which expressions are equivalent to -6(b+2)+8−6(b+2)+8minus, 6, left parenthesis, b, plus, 2, right parenthesis, plus, 8 ? Choos

leva [86]

Answer:

B. $-6b-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is $-6(b+2)+8$

Simplifying the expression now

Lets use distributive property of multiplication to solve it.

As given, $-6(b+2)+8$

Distributing -6 with b and 2.

= $(-6b-12)+8$

Opening the parenthesis

= $-6b-12+8$

= $-6b-4$

∴ As from the given options, $-6b-4$ is the correct choice.
