Answer:
20,176,803
Step-by-step explanation:
This geometric series has a first term of 3 and a common ratio of 21/3 = 7. The formula for the sum of n terms of a series with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...
Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)
For a1=3, n=9, and r=7, the sum is ...
S9 = 3·(7^9 -1)/(7 -1) = 3·40353606/6 = 20,176,803
The sum of the first 9 terms is 20,176,803.
_____
The first 9 terms are ...
3 +21 +147 +1029 +7203 +
50,421 +352,947 +2,470,629 +17,294,403
First off, nicely done on the exponents. You'd be surprised on how bad some look ,:D
a)

b)
Based on the given values above, we will be able to determine the expected number of viewers after four weeks by just multiplying the number of viewers to 18% per week. So the initial is 25 for this next. So for the first week, additional of 4.5 viewers. So the total would be 29.5 Second week, additional of 5.31, and the total would be 34.81. Third week, additional 6.27, the total would be 41.08. And on the fourth week, additional of 7.39, so the expected number of viewers would be 48.47. To round this off to the nearest whole number, we can get 48 viewers. Hope this helps.

f(x) = 7x^9-3x^2-6
Step-by-step explanation:
7+d=19 is the answer
subtract 7 from each side d=19-7
d=12
