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

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

Prove that the roots of x2+(1-k)x+k-3=0 are real for all real values of k​
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Roots are not real

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove : The roots of x^2 +(1-k)x+k-3=0x

2

+(1−k)x+k−3=0 are real for all real values of k ?

Solution :

The roots are real when discriminant is greater than equal to zero.

i.e. b^2-4ac\geq 0b

2

−4ac≥0

The quadratic equation x^2 +(1-k)x+k-3=0x

2

+(1−k)x+k−3=0

Here, a=1, b=1-k and c=k-3

Substitute the values,

We find the discriminant,

D=(1-k)^2-4(1)(k-3)D=(1−k)

2

−4(1)(k−3)

D=1+k^2-2k-4k+12D=1+k

2

−2k−4k+12

D=k^2-6k+13D=k

2

−6k+13

D=(k-(3+2i))(k+(3+2i))D=(k−(3+2i))(k+(3+2i))

For roots to be real, D ≥ 0

But the roots are imaginary therefore the roots of the given equation are not real for any value of k.
