\bf 5^{x+3}=\cfrac{1}{125}\implies 5^{x+3}=\cfrac{1}{5^3}\implies 5^{x+3}=5^{-3}
\\\\\\
\textit{because the bases are the same, the exponents must also be the same}
\\\\\\
x+3=-3\implies \boxed{x=-6}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
3^x=4^{2x}\implies log(3^x)=log(4^{2x})\implies xlog(3)=(2x)log(4)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{x}{2x}=\cfrac{log(4)}{log(3)}\implies \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{log(4)}{log(3)}\implies \cfrac{log(3)}{log(4)}=x\implies \boxed{0.79248125\approx x}

The first term of a geometric series is -3, the common ratio is 6, and the sum of the series is -4,665. Using a table of values,
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Option A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

First term (a) = –3

Common ratio (r) = 6

Sum of series (Sₙ) = –4665

Number of term (n) =?

The number of terms in the series can be obtained as follow:

Sₙ = a[rⁿ – 1] / r – 1

–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 6 – 1

–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 5

Cross multiply

–4665 × 5 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]

–23325 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]

Divide both side by –3

–23325 / –3 = 6ⁿ – 1

7775 = 6ⁿ – 1

Collect like terms

7775 + 1 = 6ⁿ

7776 = 6ⁿ

Express 7776 in index form with 6 as the base

6⁵ = 6ⁿ

n = 5

Thus, the number of terms in the geometric series is 5.
