Answer:
No, They are not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.
The variable in this question is x.
To prove this, we equate both expressions:
This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.
This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
Answer:
sum(2^(n+1), for n=1 to 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, you need to know two things:
- what is an expression for the n-th term
- how many terms are there
__
The series shown is a geometric series with first term 4 and common ratio 8/4 = 2. The generic form of the n-th term is ...
an = a1×r^(n-1) . . . . first term a1, common ratio r
You can use this form directly in your summation expression, or you can simplify it a bit.
an = 4×2^(n-1) = (2^2)(2^(n-1)) = 2^(n-1+2)
an = 2^(n+1)
__
The value 128 is 2^7, so n+1 = 7, or n=6 for that term
Your summation expression could be ...

<em>Additional comment</em>
The n-th term can also be written as 2×2^n.
