\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}\\\\S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases}n=n^{th}\ term\\a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\r=\textit{common ratio}\end{cases}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\sum\limits_{n=2}^{5}~-3(\stackrel{\stackrel{r}{\downarrow }}{4})^{n-1}

now, as you can see there, the common ratio is 4.

is it divergent or convergent?

well, the tale-tell fellow is the common ratio, if the common ratio is a fraction, is convergent, in this case it isn't, is 4, so is divergent.

a geometric serie is convergent only if the common ratio is a fraction, namely

0 < | r | < 1, is a value between 0 and 1.

HELP!! What is the equation of the graphed line?<br> (y=mx+b)
Anettt [7]
So to fine slope you would use the formula down below:

rise/run

So use a graphed point, 0, -5 and you rise or count up quadrants up to a point and then horizontally move to when you find that point.

So from 0,-5 go up 9 vertically, and you would be on the 4

Go horizontal 3 spots and your on a designated point.

So the rise is four and the run is 3

So 4/3 is the slope

In the y= Mx + b equation you would set the equation like this:

y= 4/3 + -5

The m in this formula stands for the slop and the b stands for the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the point that is on the y-axis and where it starts.

If one factor of x2 + 2x - 24 is (x+6), what is the other factor?
Anni [7]

Answer:

(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x - 24

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 6 and - 4, since

6 × - 4 = - 24 and 6 - 4 = + 2, thus

x² + 2x - 24 = (x + 6)(x - 4) ← in factored form

Thus the other factor is (x - 4)
