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

\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}5(-3)^n

This corresponds with the option:

<u>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</u>

At the beginning of summer, Mark has $200 in savings and Ryan has $350 in savings the brothers have mowing jobs set up for the s
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

  • Mark: s = 200 +20j
  • Ryan: s = 350 +15j
  • 30 jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount in savings (s) will be the initial amount plus the product of the pay per job and the number of jobs (j).

<u>Mark</u>

He initially has $200, and is paid $20 per job. His savings will be ...

  s = 200 +20j

<u>Ryan</u>

He initially has $350, and is paid $15 per job. His savings will be ...

  s = 350 +15j

<u>Same Savings</u>

The savings will be the same when the difference between the amounts is zero:

  s - s = 0

  (200 +20j) -(350 +15j) = 0 . . . . . substitute the expressions for s

  -150 +5j = 0 . . . . . collect terms

  -30 +j = 0 . . . . . . . divide by 5

  j = 30 . . . . . . add 30

The brothers will have the same amount in savings after they each work 30 jobs.
