The sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence given the first term (a1) and the common ratio (r) is calculated through the equation,

                            <span>Sn </span>= (<span><span><span>a1</span>(1−<span>r^n</span>) / (</span><span>1−r)

Substituting the known terms,
                           Sn = (20)(1 - (1/4)^4)) / (1 - 1/4)
                           Sn = 26.5625

Thus, the sum of the first four terms is 26.5625. </span></span>

-100x² + 1500x + 10000》12000

x for max profit:

-200x + 1500 = 0

x = 7.5

Price = 5 + 7.5 = 12.5

Max profit:

(2000 - 100(7.5))(5 + 7.5)

= 1250 × 12.5

= $15625
