Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

the number is 68

Step-by-step explanation:

(18-n) /2 = -25

(18-n) = -50

-18

-n = -68

/-1

n= 68

Plug it back in!

(18-68) /2 = -25 ???

-50/2 = -25 ✓✓✓

Hope this helps

What is the value of a1 of the geometric series? Sigma-Summation Underscript n = 1 Overscript infinity EndScripts 12 (negative o

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric series is

$\sum_{n = 1}^{ \infty} 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{n - 1}$

We want to determine the first term of this geometric series.

Recall that the explicit formula is

$a_{n} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{n - 1}$

To find the first term, we put n=1 to get:

$a_{1} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{1 - 1}$

This gives us:

$a_{1} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{0}$

$a_{1} = 12(1) = 12$

Therefore the first term is 12
