Answer:

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*(-2) or

tn = 9 - 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

You are (beginning with 7) subtracting 2 from the term to the left.

a = 7

d = -2

tn = a1 + (n - 1)*d

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*(-2)

Try this out on n = 4

t4 = 7 + (4 - 1)*-2

t4 = 7 +  (3) (-2)

t4 = 7 - 6

t4 = 1 just as it says.

More generally

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*-2

tn = 7 + (-2n) + 2

tn = 9 - 2n

The surface area of the square pyramid will be 78.08 square inches.

<h3>What is surface area?</h3>

The space occupied by any two-dimensional figure in a plane is called the area. The area of the outer surface of any body is called the surface area.

<h3 />

Given that:-

Sara purchased a porcelain sculpture that is in the shape of a square pyramid. The slant height is 6.1 inches and the base is 6.4 inches. The surface area will be.

The surface area of the square pyramid will be calculated by the formula:-

SA = P\times\dfrac{l}{2}

SA = 25.6\times \dfrac{6.1}{2}

SA = 78.08 square inches

Therefore the surface area of the square pyramid will be 78.08 square inches.

How do I solve this​
Alina [70]

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence} \\\\ S_n=\displaystyle\sum \limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ r=\textit{common ratio} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf S_{20}=\displaystyle\sum \limits_{n=1}^{\stackrel{\stackrel{n}{\downarrow }}{20}}~\stackrel{\stackrel{a_1}{\downarrow }}{3}(\stackrel{\stackrel{r}{\downarrow }}{1.5})^{n-1}\implies S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{1-1.5^{20}}{1-1.5} \right)\implies S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{1-\stackrel{\approx}{3325.3}}{-0.5} \right) \\\\\\ S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{-3324.3}{-0.5} \right)\implies S_{20}=3(6648.6)\implies S_{20}=19945.8
