- 8x - 9 = - 21
Add 9 to both sides:
- 8x = - 12
Divide both sides by - 8:
x = -12/-8
x = -3/-2
x = 3/2 OR 1.5
Hope this answer helps :)
Answer:
The first term of the geometric series is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the first term of a geometric series, given the common ratio, and the sum of the first 8 terms.
Mathematically, the sum of terms in a geometric series can be calculated as;
S = a(r^n-1)/( r-1)
where a is the first term that we are looking for
r is the common ratio which is 3 according to the question
n is the number of terms which is 8
S is the sum of the number of terms which is 3280 according to the question
Plugging these values, we have
3280 = a(3^8 -1)/(3-1)
3280 = a( 6561-1)/2
3280 = a(6560)/2
3280 = 3280a
a = 3280/3280
a = 1
