Apply the distributive property, which says that a(b+c)= ab+ac.

-2(x+7)= -2(x)+ -2(7)

-2(x)= -2x
-2(7)=-14

What is the value of a1 of the geometric series? Sigma-Summation Underscript n = 1 Overscript infinity EndScripts 12 (negative o

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric series is

$\sum_{n = 1}^{ \infty} 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{n - 1}$

We want to determine the first term of this geometric series.

Recall that the explicit formula is

$a_{n} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{n - 1}$

To find the first term, we put n=1 to get:

$a_{1} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{1 - 1}$

This gives us:

$a_{1} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{0}$

$a_{1} = 12(1) = 12$

Therefore the first term is 12

So If the light bulb used a total of 6.58 watts, the minutes was on it is:

$\frac{The total watts used}{The watts used each minute}$

= $\frac{6.58}{9.4}$

= 0.7 minute

So the the minutes was on it is 0.7

Find the zeros of the function y = -4x^2 + 16

adoni [48]

$-4x^2+16 & =0\\\\\implies -4(x^2-4) & =0 \\\\\implies x^2-4 =0\\ \\\implies x^2-2^2 =0\\\\\implies (x+2)(x-2)=0\\\\\implies x=2,~~x = -2$
