What is the sum of an 8-term geometric series if the first term is -11, the last term is 859,375, and the common ratio is -5?

1 answer:

3 0

Formula of the sum of the 1st nth term in a Geometric Progression:

Sum = a₁(1-rⁿ)/(1-r), where a₁ = 1st term, r = common ratio and n= rank nth of term (r≠1)

Sum = (-11)[1-(-5⁸)] /[(1-(-5)]

Sum = (-11)(1- 390625)/(6)

SUM = 716,144

What is 33 percent of 400

Eduardwww [97]

<h2>QUESTION</h2>

What is 33% of 400?

<h2>ANSWER AND EXPLANATION</h2>

To find the percent of a number, you have to change the percent into a decimal or a fraction and multiply by the number.

<h3>DECIMAL</h3>

To change a percent into a decimal, remove the percent sign and move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

$33 \% \rightarrow 0.33$

Now that you have your decimal, multiply by 400:

$0.33 \times 400 = 132$

ANSWER = 132

<h3>FRACTION</h3>

To change a percent into a fraction, make the percent number as the numerator(top number) and 100 as the denominator(bottom number) since fractions are out of 100.

$33 \% \rightarrow \frac{33}{100}$
