\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.

Solve for z:<br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2z-3%7D%7B20%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7Bz-6%7D%7B4%7D%20%3D%203" id="TexFor

Multiply both sides of the equation by 20. 2z-3-5(z-6)=60. 2z-3-5z+30=60. -3z-3+30=60. -3z+27=60. -3z=60-27. -3z=33. Divide both sides by 3. Answer is: Z= -11

HElp K 12 test! Will give brainiest PLS HELP!!!!
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

1. d  2. a  3. d  4. a  5. a

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1, d is negative because, if there an even number of negatives, the answer will be positive. a. would have been correct, but you multiply that one by 0. 0 is not negative, so the answer has to be d.

2. is -21. You can multiply 3 times seven then make it negative, or simply add -7 together 3 times.

3. is d because the two negatives cancel each other out. Even numbers of negatives cancel each other out. therefore, 17 times 6 is 102.

4. -120 is the answer because there are 3 negatives. That is an odd number, so we know our answer is negative. -5 times -3 is 15, and 15 times -8 is -120.

5. is a because -1 times 4 is -4, then -4 times -9 is 36. 36 times -3 is then -108.
