Answer: The second answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
I might want to use the commutative property to change the order of the integers in the following sum before adding the given expression
"-80 + (-173)+(-20)"
As commutative property states that " Changing the order of addends does not change the sum" which means if we add 'a' to 'b' or 'b' to 'a', we will get the same answer.
Therefore, here if we add '-80' to '-173' or '-173' to '-80' , or if we add '-173' to '-20' or '-20' to '-173' , we will get the same answer.
Therefore, we might use commutative property to change the order the of integers in the following sum.
1) both have positives signs OR
2) both have negatives signs
988 i believe all i did was add the foreign only up
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is
Sn = s1(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
with r being the common ratio and s1 is the first term.
so,
S15 = 7×(1 - (-3)¹⁵)/(1 - -3) = 7×(1 - -14,348,907)/4 =
= 7×14,348,908/4 = 7×3,587,227 = 25,110,589
