Answer:

The sum of first seven term of series is 4372.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the sum of first seven term of given series

Given series is 4, 12, 36, 108,

we can see the pattern of series is each new term is multiplied by 3 with previous term.

4, 12, 36, 108,

This is in the form of geometric series

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}

where r=3

\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is} a_1=4

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:

r=3,\:a_n=4\cdot \:3^{n-1}

so, 4, 12, 36, 108, 324, 972, 2916,..

\mathrm{Geometric\:sequence\:sum\:formula:}

a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}

\mathrm{Plug\:in\:the\:values:}

=4\cdot \frac{1-3^7}{1-3}=4372

Therefore, the sum of first seven term of series is 4372.

The numbers are multiplying by 3 each time. For example 4x3=12. 12x3=36 so you would add 4+12+36+108+324+972+2916 = 4373

What are the solutions to the equation (2x - 5) (3x - 1) = 0
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

x = 5/2 & x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations and solve

1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0

1) 2x = 5

x = 5/2

2) 3x = 1

x = 1/3

You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
