Answer: the first term of the series is 128

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

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

Where

n represents the number of term in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

r = 1/4 = 0.25

n = 4

S4 = 170

Therefore, the expression for the sum of the 4 terms, S4 is

170 = a(1 - 0.25^4)/(1 - 0.25)

170 = a(1 - 0.00390625)/(1 - 0.25)

170 = a(0.99609375)/(0.75)

170 = 1.328125a

a = 170/1.328125

a = 128

The points (3, 24) and (7, 56) represent points of a function where y, the number of photographs, varies directly with x, the nu
tester [92]
(3,24)(7,56)
slope = (56 - 24) / (7 - 3) = 32/4 = 8

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 8
(3,24)...x = 3 and y = 24
now we sub
24 = 8(3) + b
24 = 24 + b
24 - 24 = b
0 = b

so ur equation is : y = 8x + 0...or just y = 8x

to find ur answer, take ur answer choices and sub them into y = 8x and whichever one is true is ur answer.
