Answer: (B) -625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence {-500, -100, -20, -4, -0.8, ... }, we know that that the first term (a) is -500 and the ratio (r) is $\dfrac{-100}{-500}=\dfrac{1}{5}$

Input those values into the Sum formula:

$S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\\\S_8=\dfrac{-500\bigg(1-\dfrac{1}{5}^n\bigg)}{1-\dfrac{1}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{-500\bigg(1-\dfrac{1}{390,625}\bigg)}{\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{-500\bigg(\dfrac{390,624}{390,625}\bigg)}{\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{5(-500)(390,624)}{4(390,625)}\\\\.\quad=-624.998\\\\.\quad=-625\quad \text{(rounded to 2 decimal places)}$

Perform the indicated row operations, then write the new matrix.

Studentka2010 [4]

The matrix is not properly formatted.

However, I'm able to rearrange the question as:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\-2&3&5|3\\3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]$

Operations:

$2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2$

$-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3$

Please note that the above may not reflect the original question. However, you should be able to implement my steps in your question.

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first operation:

$2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2$

This means that the new second row (R2) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by 2; add this to the second row

The row 1 elements are:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]$

Multiply by 2

$2 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right]$

Add to row 2 elements are: $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&5&7|1\end{array}\right]$

The second operation:

$-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3$

This means that the new third row (R3) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by -3; add this to the third row

The row 1 elements are:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]$

Multiply by -3

$-3 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right]$

Add to row 2 elements are: $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$

Hence, the new matrix is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$
