Answer:
<em>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Summation Notation
</u>
It represents the sum of a finite or infinite number of terms. Let's analyze the terms of the given succession:
5-15+45-135+...
If we take 5 as a common factor, we have
5(1-3+9-27+...)
The parentheses contain the alternate sum/subtraction of powers of 3. The odd terms are positive, the even terms are negative, thus the exponent must be n starting from 0 or n-1 starting from 1
The summation is then represented by

This corresponds with the option:
<u>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</u>
For the Community Gym:
Membership Charge = $50
Monthly fee = $55
So for the 1st month total charge = $(50 +55)
= $105
For each month the member pays $55
So after the 2nd month total payment = $(105 + 55)
= $160
After 3rd month total payment = $(160 + 55)
= $215
After 4th month total payment = $(215 + 55)
= $270
After 5th month total payment = $(270 + 55)
= $325
After 6th month total payment = $(325 + 55)
= $380
Now for the Workout Gym:
Membership Charge = $200
Monthly Charge = $45
So for the 1st month the member pays = $(200 + 45)
= $245
For the 2nd month total payment = $( 245 +45)
= $290
For the 3rd month total payment = $(290 + 45)
= $335
For the 4th month total payment = $(335 + 45)
= $ 380
So the 6th month payment in the Community Gym is the same as the 4th month payment in the Workout Gym. The amount will be $380.
