Explanation:
A sequence is a list of numbers.
A <em>geometric</em> sequence is a list of numbers such that the ratio of each number to the one before it is the same. The common ratio can be any non-zero value.
<u>Examples</u>
- 1, 2, 4, 8, ... common ratio is 2
- 27, 9, 3, 1, ... common ratio is 1/3
- 6, -24, 96, -384, ... common ratio is -4

<u>General Term</u>
Terms of a sequence are numbered starting with 1. We sometimes use the symbol a(n) or an to refer to the n-th term. The general term of a geometric sequence, a(n), can be described by the formula ...
a(n) = a(1)×r^(n-1) . . . . . n-th term of a geometric sequence
where a(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio. The above example sequences have the formulas ...
- a(n) = 2^(n -1)
- a(n) = 27×(1/3)^(n -1)
- a(n) = 6×(-4)^(n -1)
You can see that these formulas are exponential in nature.

<u>Sum of Terms</u>
Another useful formula for geometric sequences is the formula for the sum of n terms.
S(n) = a(1)×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . sum of n terms of a geometric sequence
When |r| < 1, the sum converges as n approaches infinity. The infinite sum is ...
S = a(1)/(1-r)

C. $15.90
Step-by-step explanation:
6% to a decimal is 0.06. Multiply 265.00 * 0.06 to get the answer.
Answer: y+1 = 5(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so this is conic sectuion
first group x's with x's and y's with y's
then complete the squra with x's and y's
2x^2-8x+2y^2+10y+2=0
2(x^2-4x)+2(y^2+5y)+2=0
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square
-4/2=-2, (-2)^2=4
5/2=2.5, 2.5^2=6.25
add that and negative inside
2(x^2-4x+4-4)+2(y^2+5y+6.25-6.25)+2=0
factor perfect squares
2((x-2)^2-4)+2((y+2.5)^2-6.25)+2=0
distribute
2(x-2)^2-8+2(y+2.5)^2-12.5+2=0
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2-18.5=0
add 18.5 both sides
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2=18.5
divide both sides by 2
(x-2)^2+(y+2.5)^2=9.25
that is a circle center (2,-2.5) with radius √9.25
