An = a1 * r^(n-1)

-405 = -5*3^(n-1)

3^(n-1) = 81

3^4 = 81  so n-1 = 3  and n =  4

Sn  = S4  =  -5 (1 - 3^4)   / ( 1 - 3)   =  400 / -2 = -200 Answer

Wholesale cost of a telescope: $199.50; Markup: 50%, Discount: 30%,
kupik [55]

Answer:

$2147.85

Step-by-step explanation:

199.5*.5=99.75

199.5+99.75=299.25

299.25*.3=89.775

299.25-89.775=209.475

209.475*.04=8.279

209.475+8.379=217.854

49x2 - 81 is an example of the difference of two
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

(4x + 3)(4x - 3) represents the factorization of a polynomial that was the difference of two squares as it is written as product of sum and difference of two numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulas are used to factorize the polynomials.

In the given question, we can see a difference of squares

the difference of squares can be factorized using the formula

a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

Here a^2 and b^2 are squares and factorized as sum and difference of numbers.

So in the given options,

(4x + 3)(4x - 3) represents the factorization of a polynomial that was the difference of two squares as it is written as product of sum and difference of two numbers.

What is the slope if the line through the points 2/3, 4/7 and 2/3, 11/7
Umnica [9.8K]

The fromula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points \left(\dfrac{2}{3},\ \dfrac{4}{7}\right) and \left(\dfrac{2}{3},\ \dfrac{11}{7}\right)

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{\frac{11}{7}-\frac{4}{7}}{\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{\frac{7}{7}}{0}\ !!!!

<h3>Answer: slope is undefined.</h3><h3 />

It's a vertical line: x=\dfrac{2}{3}
