We have the following remark
-81/-54= -54/-36 = -36/ -24=...= 1.5
the sequence is geometric sequence
the common ratio of the sequence is 1.5
the sum of the five terms of the sequence is
S5= a[1- (1.5)^5 / 1-1.5], a first term,
S5= -42*6.5= - 276
Answer:
x=9,-1
Step-by-step explanation:
12by8=1.5 4by3=1.3 1.5by1.3=1.12
We know that
a1=1
a2=3
a3=9
a2/a1=3/1----> 3
a3/a2=9/3----> 3
<span>common ration r is equal to 3
number of terms n is 12
The </span><span>Sum of geometric series is given by the formula
</span>Sum=a1*[1-r<span>^n]/[1-r]
</span>Sum=1*[1-3^12]/[1-3]-----> Sum=[1-3^12]/[1-3]----> [3^12-1]/[3-1]
<span>Sum=531440/2-----> 265720
the answer is
265720
</span>
2✓5.
In decimal form, it's 4.5.
