Answer:

-223948 is the sum of 7 terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric sequence is in the form of $T_{n}=-4.6^{n}-1$

Therefore the sequence will be -25, -145, -865........(n =7)

Therefore sum of the seven terms = $a.\frac{r^{n}-1 }{(1-r)}$

sum = $(-4).\frac{6^{7}-1 }{6-1}=(-4).\frac{(279936-1)}{(6-1)}=(-4).\frac{279935}{5}=(-4).55987=-223948$

Sum of seven terms will be = -223948

Now we know what the common ratio is, 6, and what the first term is, -4,
and our nth term is 7, since we're asked to do the sum
from 1 to 7.
S7= - 4(1-6(7)/(1-6))
=-223948

Andrea has a savings account with $80 that earns 2% interest per

lianna [129]

Answer:

After 10 years, she will has $96 in her bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Andrea's saving account is $80 and earns 2% interest per year as a Simple Interest (Not Compounded). Using simple interest formula, Interest = (P×R×T)/100 where P is the principal, R is the interest rate and T is number of years :

$I = \frac{p \times r \times t}{100}$

P = $80

R = 2%

T = 10 years

$I = \frac{80 \times 2 \times 10}{100}$

$I = \frac{1600}{100}$

$I = 16$

It is given that the interest amount is $16. So the total amount she has after 10 years in the bank is $96 :

interest amount = $16

principal = $80

total = $16 + $80

= $96

Which relation does not represent a function? A) a vertical line B) y = 5 9 x - 3 C) a horizontal line D) {(1, 7), (3,7), (5, 7)

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

A) a vertical line does not represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a relation to be a function for each value of $x$ there must be only one value of $y$ . In other words a function is one in which each value in the domain set corresponds to only one value in the range set.
