The general formula for the sum of the n terms of a geometric progression is:

Sn = A1 (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)

In this case, n = 8; A1 = - 11, r = -4

S8 = -11 (1 - (-4)^8) / (1 -(-4)) = 144,177

Answer: option c.

Any suggestions on how to solve this? thanks ​
amm1812

Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You basically want to solve for the angle A. Do arcsin of 1/3, which is approximately 19.47 degrees. In this triangle, we are missing the adjacent and opposite, but we do have the angle luckily. Lets use SOH-CAH-TOA.

sin(theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

We can see here that doing sine will give us the length of the opposite

sin19.47 = \frac{x}{12}. Do sine of 19.47, then multiply by 12. I got 4

3/4 pounds ÷ 6 friends = 1/8 pounds (Also equals to 0.125 pounds, because fractuon is more accurate.)

Which of the following has a constant of proportionality of 2? A) y = 2x B) y = x + 2 C) 2y = x D) y + 2 = 2x
Setler [38]

The correct answer is A.


You have direct variation if x and y are modeled by the equation


y = mx


In this case, m is the constant of proportionality. So, if the constant has to be 2, the equation becomes


y = 2x


A side note: Actually, option C has a constant of proportionality of two as well, except the roles of x and y are interchanged. I chose option A because usually you want the y = mx form, but the names of the variables are obviously meaningless.
