Answer:

Answer: A. -976563

Step-by-step explanation:

Sn=sum of the n terms of the geometric sequence.

a= the first term

r=the common ratio

n=numbers of terms.

Sn=a[(1-r^n)/(1-r)]

In this case:

a=-3

r=a₂/a₁=15/-3=-5

n=9

S₉=-3[(1-(-5)⁹) / (1-(-5))=

S₉=-3(1+1953125)/6)=

S₉=-3(1953126/6)=

S₉=-3(325521)

S₉=-976563

so an athlete trains on a circular track of radius 40m and jogs 10 laps each day 5 days a week. how far dose he jog each week?
UkoKoshka [18]
Ok.  he jogs 10 laps in a day and each lap is 40 m so 10 times 40 is 400
he jogs 400 meters in a day then multiply that by 5 for the week
400 times 5 is 2000
he jogs 2000 meters each week

10(x+1) = 56 - 2(x-1) what’s the equation
bixtya [17]

Answer:x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve

10(x+1)=56-2(x-1)

Open the brackets

10x+10=56-2x+2

Collect like terms

10x+2x=56-10+2

12x=48

Divide through by 12

x=4
