Sum of an infinite geometric sequence with the common ratio r, and the first term a1 is

we notice
-2 times -1/4=1/2,
1/2 times -1/4=-1/8
so a1=-2
r=-1/4 or -0.25
so the sum is

=

=

=

=
the sum is -8/5 or -1.6

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares
2.1 Factoring: 25a2-b2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 25 is the square of 5
Check : a2 is the square of a1
Check : b2 is the square of b1
Factorization is : (5a + b) • (5a - b)
He uses 15 gallons. Because 270/6 = 45. Meaning he drives 45 miles per gallon. So 675/45=15. 15 gallons he will need to use to drive 675 miles.
Answer:
Equation ----> 2(c - 40)
c = -40
Step-by-step explanation:
2(c - 40)
= (2c) - (80)
= 2c - 80
=
+ 
c = -40
