The equation for a finite geometric sequence is Sn=a1((1-r^n)/(1-r))

a1=1

r=.5/1=.5

n=5

Using the equation:

Sn=a1((1-r^n)/(1-r))=1((1-.5^5)/(1-.5))=1((1-.03125)/(1-.5))=1(.96875/.5)=1*1.9375=1.9375

Answer Choices:

A. 1/12 or .083

B. 93

C. -1/48 or -.02083

D. 31/16 or 1.9375

The Answer is D. 31/16

Find the equatio of the line tht contains the point (5,6) and is perpendicualr to the line 4x+2y=2
anzhelika [568]
--------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope
--------------------------------------------------------------
4x + 2y = 2
2y= -4x + 2
y = -4/2 x + 2
y = -2x + 2

Slope = -2
Perpendicular slope = 1/2

--------------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the general equation y = mx + c
--------------------------------------------------------------
y = 1/2x + c

--------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept 
--------------------------------------------------------------
y = 1/2x + c
at (5,6)
6 = 1/2 (5) + c
6 = 5/2 + c
c = 6 - 5/2 
c = 7/2

--------------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into y = 1/2 x + c
--------------------------------------------------------------
y = 1/2 x + 7/2
2y = x + 7

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 2y = x + 7
