How to express -8+4-2+1 in sigma notation

It's pretty clear what the pattern is - 2^(k-1) * (-1)^(k-1) would work backwards, but we have to work forwards to get lower in this case, so we could start at -3 (as long as we put the k-1 in absolute value to make sure it's not 1/8), so we could write it as ∑ (k=1, goes to 4) 2^(|k-4|)*(-1)^(k-4) 

It doesn't matter for k-4 because 1/-1 and 1/1 are the same thing as -1 and 1 respectively

<span>(x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r<span>^2


this equation is a derivative of the equation of a circle

x^2 + y^2 = r^2
This is from the origin. If we move the in x or y then the radius will change positions in x or y


with h = -3 and k = 1

we can plug in each set of numbers and solve.

we find Z to be on the circle edge!</span></span>

<span>Martin deposits $200 in a savings account that earns 5% annual interest.

year         interest                       balance

1              200 * 5%                    200(1.05)

2              200(1.05) * 5%          200(1.05)^2

3              200(1.05)^2*5%        200(1.05)^3

y                                                200(1.05)^y

=> m = 200 (1.05)^y

four years later, cary deposits $200 in an account earning the same interest.
