a_1=-8;\ a_2=-4;\ r=a_2:a_1\to r=-4:(-8)=\dfrac{1}{2};\ n=7\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\\\subtitute:\\\\S_7=\dfrac{-8\left[1-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^7\right]}{1-\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{-8\left(1-\dfrac{1}{128}\right)}{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\=\dfrac{-8\cdot\dfrac{127}{128}}{\dfrac{1}{2}}=-\dfrac{127}{16}\cdot\dfrac{2}{1}=-\dfrac{127}{8}=-15\dfrac{7}{8}

How do you do congruence and transformations
defon
I love this unit a-lot (super fun)

So Congruent/Congruence is, For example If you have two triangles on a coordinates grid with the same coordinates than that would mean they're congruent. Shortened down would be 

Same shape same coordinates same dimension same size (same everything)

Transformations would be Rotating a shape clockwise(CW)...right) or counterclockwise(CC Left) 

Or Dilation which is making the shape smaller or bigger based on a scale factor.
  
Or reflection

How you would perform Reflection is reflect the shape over either the X-axis 
Or the Y-axis 

How you would perform a Translation would be to literally move the shape right left up or down.

How you would perform a Dilation(scaling) would be to pick a scale factor and either decrease or increase the size of the shape according to the scale factor number 

How you would perform a Rotation would be to pick a point of rotation (P.O.R) and then pick your measure º such as 90º clockwise and rotate accordingly. 


Hope it helps :)

List three values that would make this inequality true
mina [271]

Answer:

1, 2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

solve the inequality by dividing both sides by 2, hence

n ≤ 3

3 = 3 and 1, 2 < 3

hence 1, 2 and 3 all make the inequality true

How do you change a whole number into a fraction
Doss [256]
You change a whole a number by simply make the denominator of that whole number 1.

For example, 6.

If you wanted to change 6 into a fraction, you just put 6/1.

Hope that helps!
