Explanation:

The general term of a geometric series can be described by the formula:

<span><span>an</span>=a<span>r<span>n−1</span></span></span>

where the initial term is a and common ratio r.

Then we find:

<span><span><span>(1−r)</span><span><span>N∑</span><span>n=1</span></span><span>an</span></span><span><span>=<span><span>N∑</span><span>n=1</span></span>a<span>r<span>n−1</span></span>−r<span><span>N∑</span><span>n=1</span></span>a<span>r<span>n−1</span></span></span><span>=a+<span><span><span>N∑</span><span>n=2</span></span>a<span>r<span>n−1</span></span></span>−<span><span><span>N∑</span><span>n=2</span></span>a<span>r<span>n−1</span></span></span>−a<span>rN</span></span><span>=a<span>(1−<span>rN</span>)</span></span></span></span>

So dividing both ends by <span>(1−r)</span> we find:

<span><span><span>N∑</span><span>n=1</span></span><span>an</span>=<span><span>a<span>(1−<span>rN</span>)</span></span><span>1−r</span></span></span>

In our example, <span>N=7</span>, <span>a=−11</span> and <span>r=−5</span>

So:

<span><span><span><span>7∑</span><span>n=1</span></span><span>(−11)</span><span><span>(−5)</span><span>n−1</span></span></span><span>=
</span></span>

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

13 sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

(n - 2) = 1980 / 180 = 11.

n = 13

When the sum of the interior angles is 1980 degrees, the convex polygon will have 13 sides.

i hope this helps and is right! p.s. i really need brainliest :)

Answer:

y = 4x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

To write the equation in y = mx + b form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

To find the slope, take two points from the table(in this example I'll use points (0, 14) and (1, 18)) and input them into the slope formula:

\frac{18-14}{1-0}

Simplify:

18 - 14 = 4

1 - 0 = 1

\frac{4}{1}=4

The slope is 4.

To find the y-intercept, input the values of the slope and one point(in this example I'll use point (1, 18)) into the equation format and solve for b:

y = mx + b

18 = 4(1) + b

18 = 4 + b

14 = b

The y-intercept is 14.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y = 4x + 14
