What is the sum of the geometric sequence -4, 24, -144, if there are 6 terms

Mathematics

Answer:

The sum is 26,660

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula of the sum in a geometric sequence is equal to

S=a1[\frac{1-r^{n}}{1-r}]

where

a1 is the first term

r is the common ratio  

n is the number of terms

we have

a1=-4, a2=24, a3=-144

Find the value of r (common ratio)

r=a2/a1

r=24/(-4)=-6

so

a1=-1

r=--6

n=6

substitute in the formula

S=(-4)[\frac{1-(-6)^{6}}{1-(-6)}]

S=(-4)[\frac{1-(-6)^{6}}{7}]

S=26,660

A projectile is launched from ground level with a initial velocity of Vo feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, its height
antiseptic1488 [7]
The height at t seconds after launch is
s(t) = - 16t² + V₀t
where V₀ = initial launch velocity.

Part a:
When s = 192 ft, and V₀ = 112 ft/s, then
-16t² + 112t = 192
16t² - 112t + 192 = 0
t² - 7t + 12 = 0
(t - 3)(t - 4) = 0
t = 3 s, or t = 4 s

The projectile reaches a height of  192 ft at 3 s on the way up, and at 4 s on the way down.

Part b:
When the projectile reaches the ground, s = 0.
Therefore
-16t² + 112t = 0
-16t(t - 7) = 0
t = 0 or t = 7 s

When t=0, the projectile is launched.
When t = 7 s, the projectile returns to the ground.

Answer: 7 s

100 points!!! Pre calculus. I need helpppppppppp
Fantom [35]

Answer:

We have function,

y = 3 - 6 \sin {}^{} (2x +  \frac{\pi}{2} )

Standard Form of Sinusoid is

y =  - 6 \sin(2x +  \frac{\pi}{2} )  + 3

Which corresponds to

y = a \sin(b(x + c))  + d

where a is the amplitude

2pi/b is the period

c is phase shift

d is vertical shift or midline.

In the equation equation, we must factor out 2 so we get

y =  - 6(2(x +  \frac{\pi}{4} )) + 3

Also remeber a and b is always positive

So now let answer the questions.

a. The period is

\frac{2\pi}{ |b| }

\frac{2\pi}{ |2| }  = \pi

So the period is pi radians.

b. Amplitude is

| - 6|  = 6

Amplitude is 6.

c. Domain of a sinusoid is all reals. Here that stays the same. Range of a sinusoid is [-a+c, a-c]. Put the least number first, and the greatest next.

So using that<em> rule, our range is [6+3, -6+3]= [9,-3] So our range</em> is [-3,9].

D. Plug in 0 for x.

3 - 6 \sin((2(0) +  \frac{\pi}{2} )

3 - 6 \sin( \frac{\pi}{2} )

3 - 6(1)

3 - 6

=  - 3

So the y intercept is (0,-3)

E. To find phase shift, set x-c=0 to solve for phase shift.

x +  \frac{\pi}{4}  = 0

x =  -  \frac{\pi}{4}

Negative means to the left, so the phase shift is pi/4 units to the left.

f. Period is PI, so use interval [0,2pi].

denpristay [2]

Answer:

D) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

−9 + 12 + (unknown) + −8 = −1

<em>Start by going through and testing each option</em>

−9 + 12 + 2 + −8 =

3 + 2 + −8 =

5 + −8 =

−3

−3 ≠ −1

<em>A) 2 is not possible.</em>

−9 + 12 + −2 + −8 =

3 + −2 + −8 =

1 + −8 =

−7

−7 ≠ −1

<em>B) </em>−<em>2 is not possible.</em>

−9 + 12 + −4 + −8 =

3 + −4 + −8 =

−1 + −8 =

−9

−9 ≠ −1

<em>C) </em>−4<em> is not possible.</em>

<em>From this, D is looking like the answer. But to be sure, test it.</em>

−9 + 12 + 4 + −8 =

3 + 4 + −8 =

7 + −8 =

−1

−1 = −1

<em>D) 4 is the answer.</em>
