30 points!!<br> What is the sum of the first six terms of the series?<br> 48 - 12 + 3 - 0.75 +...

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The sum of the first six terms is 38.39

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since the common difference between each term is $-\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, $r=-\frac{1}{4}$

To find the sum of first six terms, we need to find the fifth and sixth term of the sequence.

To find the fifth term:

The general form of geometric sequence is $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

To find the fifth term, substitute $n=5$ in $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

$\begin{aligned}a_{5} &=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1} \\&=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{4} \\&=(48)\left(\frac{1}{256}\right) \\a_{5} &=0.1875\end{aligned}$

To find the sixth term, substitute $n=6$ in $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

$\begin{aligned}a_{6} &=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1} \\&=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5} \\&=(48)\left(-\frac{1}{1024}\right) \\a_{5} &=-0.046875\end{aligned}$

To find the sum of the first six terms:

The general formula to find Sn for $|r|$ is $S_{n}=\frac{a\left(1-r^{n}\right)}{1-r}$

$\begin{aligned}S_{6} &=\frac{48\left(1-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6}\right)}{1-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)} \\&=\frac{48\left(1-\frac{1}{4096}\right)}{1+\frac{1}{4096}} \\&=\frac{48(0.95)}{5} \\&=\frac{48(0.9998)}{5} \\&=\frac{48(0.9998)}{5} \\&=\frac{47.9904}{5} \\&=38.39\end{aligned}$

Thus, the sum of first six terms is 38.39

Find the total cost for a $30 bat;15% discount

noname [10]

An item that costs $30, when discounted 15 percent, will cost $25.5. The easiest way of calculating discount is, in this case, to multiply the normal price $30 by 15 then divide it by one hundred. So, the discount is equal to $4.5. To calculate the sales price, simply deduct the discount of $4.5 from the original price $30 then get $25.5 as the sales price.
