a_1=-4;\ a_2=-16;\ a_3=-64;\ a_4=-256;\ ...\\\\r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\to r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}\to r=\dfrac{-16}{-4}=4

The formula of the sum of a geometric sequence:

S_n=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}

We have:

a_1=-4;\ n=6;\ r=4

substitute:

S_6=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-4^6}{1-4}=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-4096}{-3}=-4\cdot\dfrac{-4095}{-3}=-4\cdot1365=-5460

Answer: C. -5460

Which equation could be solved using this application of the quadratic formula? A. -2x2 â’ 8 = 10x â’ 3 B. 3x2 â’ 8x â’ 10 = 4 C
hodyreva [135]

The given question can be solve using quadratic formula.

The correct option is (c) 3x^2 +8x -10=-8.

Given:

The given equation is,

x=\dfrac{-8\pm\sqrt{8^2-4(3)(-1)}} {2(3)}---------------------------(1)

Write the general quadratic equation.

ax^2 + bx +c=0

Write the quadratic formula.

x  =\dfrac {-b \pm  \sqrt{(b^2 - 4ac)} } {2a}------------------------------- (2)

Compare equation (1) and (2).

a=3\\b=8\\c=-2

Substitute the value of a, b and c in general quadratic.

3x^2 +8x -2=0

Subtract 8 from each side of above equation.

3x^2 +8x -2 -8=0-8\\3x^2 +8x -10=-8

Thus, the correct option is (c) 3x^2 +8x -10=-8.
