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

What is the expression in factored form?<br><br> -20x^2 - 12x
artcher [175]

Answer:

-4x(5x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-20x^2 - 12x

-20x^2 = -4*5*x*x = -2*2*5*x*x

-12x = -4*3*x = -2*2*3*x

The common terms are -2*2*x = -4x.  Whats left goes inside the parentheses

-4x(5x-3)
