Lizabeth's reasoning is faulty because in this expression, it's not multiplying 2 negative integers, its multiplying 3 negative integers. And while the product of 2 negative integers equals a positive, the positive product multiplied by another negative will equal a negative.

What is the first term in a geometric sequence if the common ratio is − 2 and the sum of the first six terms is −105?
Serggg [28]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=-2\\
n=6\\
S_6=-105
\end{cases}

\bf -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(-2)^6}{1-(-2)} \right)\implies -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(64)}{1+2} \right)
\\\\\\
-105=a_1\left( \cfrac{-63}{3} \right)\implies -105=a_1(-21)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-105}{-21}=a_1\implies 5=a_1

100 points!! Brainliest if correct!!
ladessa [460]

Answer:

4π(w+1)(w-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of the cylinder

= 2 x area of base circle + area of vertical surface

= 2x pi x radius^2 + 2x pi x radius x height

= 2π(w-1)^2 + 2π(w-1)(w+3)

= 2π[w^2-2w+1 + w^2+2w-3]

= 2π(2w^2-2)

= 4π(w^2 - 1)

= 4π(w+1)(w-1)
