Find S8 for the geometric series 3 + -6 + 12 + -24 +…

1 answer:

6 0

I guess you are asking to find the sum of the first 8 terms. If so, then:
Sum = a₁(1-rⁿ)/(1-r), where a₁ is the 1st term, r=common ratio and n=number of terms:
the 1st term a₁ =3
common ratio r = - 2 (since -6/3 = - 2, and 12/-6 = - 2, etc.)

Sum = 3[(1- (-2)⁸]/(1-2) = 3(1- 256)/(1/2)
Sum = -1530

Change 2x+y=-4 into slope-intercept form with steps

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer : y = -2x - 4

All you have to do is put y on one side and the 2x on the other side, just make sure to make it negative since you are subtracting it to go on the other side

What is the measure of the missing angle?

Lostsunrise [7]

The three angles of a triangle should equal 180 so add 52+34 which equals 86.Then subtract 86 from 180 to get the third angles measure which is 94 so the answer is 94.

Is this correct please explain

uysha [10]

Answer:

79°

Step-by-step explanation:

since this figure goes around completely, the sum would be 360°

1 and 3 are equal, so you would multiply 101 by 2

101 × 2 = 202

subtract 202 from 360

360 - 202 = 158

4 and 2 are equal, so divide 158 by 2

158 ÷ 2 = 79

so angle 4 = 79°
