Um, the picture is kind of blurry otherwise I can help since I am pretty good with this...
Answer:
a₁ = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is
= 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here
= 1530 and r = 2, thus
= 1530 , that is
a₁ (256 - 1) = 1530
255a₁ = 1530 ( divide both sides by 255 )
a₁ = 6
2 solutions. This is because the parabola will cross the x axis twice. We know this because -5 means the vertex will be 5 units below the x axis. and the parabola opens upwards because the first coefficient is positive. Hope this helped :)

<h2>33 km</h2>
3.3cm = 0.000033km (divide by 100,000.
So, 0.000033km/yr.
0.000033 × 1,000,000
=33km
