I think the answer is: 5 x (12-9) = 15
The answer is 9 because 3/5 to second power is 9/25 then you multiply it by 25 and you get 9
an = a1r^(n-1)
a5 = a1 r^(5-1)
-6 =a1 r^4
a2 = a1 r^(2-1)
-48 = a1 r
divide
-6 =a1 r^4
---------------- yields 1/8 = r^3 take the cube root or each side
-48 = a1 r 1/2 = r
an = a1r^(n-1)
an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)
-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1
divide by 1/2
-96 = a1
an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)
the sum
Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]
S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]
=-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]
= 192 * [-131071/131072]
approximately -192
Should be equal to. sorry if its incorrect, but that's what i would go with.
Answer:
The gradient of the line joining the points 
and 
is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The gradient of the line joining two distinct point on a plane is represented by the slope of a secant line (
), that is:
(1)
If we know that and , then the gradient of the line is:
The gradient of the line joining the points and is .
