Answer:

Sn = a1 (1-r^n)/ (1-r)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sum of a geometric sequence summations is given by

Sn = a1 (1-r^n)/ (1-r)

where a1 is the first term, r is the common ratio and n is the term number we are summing up to

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

The second choice, a1 (1-r^n)/(1-r)

Discussion:

Let

S= a1 + a1*r + a1*r^2 +......+a1* r^(n-1) (*)

be a geometric series with n terms

Multiply both sides by "r":

Sr = a1*r + a1*r^2 +... + a1*r^(n-1) + a1*r^(n) (**)

Subtracting (*) from (**) gives

S-Sr = a1 - a1*r^(n)

= a1 ( 1 - r^(n))

As S=Sr = S (1-r)

S (1-r) = a1 ( 1 - r^(n))

Divide both sides by (1-r)

S = a1 ( 1 - r^(n)) /(1-r)

Thank you,

MrB

First, we must understand what standard form of a line is. Standard form of a line is written like such that A,B, and C are all integers, and A must be positive. First, we must calculate the slope of the line that passes through theses coordinates.

As a refresher, this is the equation to figure out the slope of two coordinates.Now, we just simplify the numerator and denominator.

The next step is to utilize point-slope form, which is where is a point on the line. Of course, we already know that (7,-3) and (4,-8) both lie of the line. Therefore, plug in one fot he coordinates. Once converted into point-slope, we must then convert into standard form. This is what is demonstrated in the next step.

Let's multiply all sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction early.Distribute the 5 to both terms in the parentheses.Subtract 9 from both sides.Subtract 5x on both sides.We aren't done yet! The coefficient of the x-term must be positive. Therefore, divide by -1 on both sides.This is standard form now, so we are done!
