Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if the point is a solution, substitute the coordinates into the left side of the inequality, evaluate and compare with right side.
- 8(3) - 2(2) = - 24 - 4 = - 28 < 6
Thus (3, 2) is a solution
The sum of a geometric sequence is:
s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r), s(n)=nth sum, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term #
In this case we are told that a=6 and r=1/3 so:
s(n)=6(1-(1/3)^n)/(1-1/3)
s(n)=6(1-(1/3)^n)/(2/3)
s(n)=9(1-(1/3)^n), so the sum of the first 5 term is:
s(5)=9(1-(1/3)^5))
s(5)=9(1-(1/243))
s(5)=9(242/243)
s(5)=2178/243
s(5)=242/27
s(5)=8 26/27 ...if you wanted an approximation s(5)≈8.96 to the nearest hundredth...
