Answer:
Your answer is correct. The series is a geometric series with common ratio -1/4 and first term 40. So each term is:
an = 40 (-1/4)^(n−1)
So the sum of the first 10 terms is:
∑(n=1 to 10) [ 40 (-1/4)^(n−1) ]
3 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
12/4=3 (because we need to see how much bryant ate first)
12-3=9 (original - what bryant ate)
9/3=3 (what was left after bryant finish and what 1/3 of 9 is)
(y times 6) -1
I don't know what to say it is already simplified
