Answer:

  6554

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence 2, -8, 32, -128 has a first term (a1) of 2 and a common ratio (r) of -8/2 = -4. The sum of n terms is given by ...

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

For your sequence, the sum of 7 terms is ...

  S7 = 2·((-4)^7 -1)/(-4-1) = 2(-16384/-5) = 6554

The sum of changes after the 7th day is 6554.

F(x)=8_-4x-x^3. g(x)=x^2+7x-9. Find f(x)+g(x)
11111nata11111 [884]

(8 - 4x -  {x}^{3} ) + ( {x}^{2}  + 7x - 9) \\  =  -  {x}^{3}  +  {x}^{2}  - 4x + 7x + 8 - 9 \\  =  -  {x}^{3}  +  {x}^{2}  + 3x - 1
(8x - 4x -  {x}^{3} ) + ( {x}^{2}  + 7x - 9) \\  -  {x}^{3}  +  {x}^{2}  + 8x - 4x + 7x - 9 \\  -  {x}^{3}  +  {x}^{2}  + 11x - 9
The answer is either B, and you forgot to put in the ^2 in the answer choice, or C, and you forgot to put an x where there is a _ in the question.

Check the actual question (the one you recieved, not the one posted here) and see where the mistakes are. If f(x) = 8x - 4x - x^3, then your answer is C. However, if B is actually -x^3 + x^2 + 3x - 1, then the answer is B.
