3. Error Analysis Isabel says that the equation x - 2 = -(x - 2) has no

Given:

The equation is

(x-2)=-(x-2)

Isabel says that the given equation has no  solution because a number can never be equal to its opposite.

To find:

Isabel's mistake.

Solution:

Her reason "a number can never be equal to its opposite" is not correct.

Zero is a number that can be equal to its opposite.

So, the given equation has solution for which LHS=RHS=0.

We have,

(x-2)=-(x-2)

x-2=-(x)-(-2)

x-2=-x+2

Add x and 2 on both sides.

x-2+x+2=-x+2+x+2

2x=4

Divide both sides by 2.

x=\dfrac{4}{2}

x=2

So, the given equation has a solution x=2.

Given the formula, Sn=a 1-r^n/1-r, what is the sum of the first nine terms of the geometric series: 324, -108, 36, -12...
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

243.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term (a) = 324.

The common ratio (r) = -108/324 = -1/3.

So sum of 9 terms is:

S(9) = 324 * (1 - (-1/3)^9) / ( 1 - (-1/3)

= 324 ( 1 - (-0.00005076)) / 4/3

= 324 * 1.00005076 / 1.33333

= 243.012.
