Answer: it looks like a commutative expression
Step-by-step explanation: im pretty sure im wrong, goodnight
Part A: Charlie's answer is incorrect
In step 2 of Charlie's answer he subtracted 5 from each side. Since 5x is multiplication, he must DIVIDE each side by 5 to get x by itself. The problem should have worked out like this...
Step 1: 5x = 30
Step 2: x = 30/5
Step 3: x = 6
Part B: There is only 1 solution for this problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric Sequence formula for general term:
an = a1(r^n-1)
a1 = 4 × (-5)^1-1
a1 = 4
r = -5
Summation formula for geometric sequence :
Sn = a1 ( 1 - r^n / 1 - r )
...<em>take n from the top of the summation.</em>
= 4 ( 1 -(-5)^6 / 1 -(-5)
= -10416.
