Sn=A1(1-r^n)/(1-r)
Sum of a finite geometric series formula
We know the sum, number of terms and rate, so you plug those in.
-255=A1(1-(-4)^4))/(1-(-4)
-255=A1(1-256)/5
-255=A1(-255)/5
-1275=A1(-255)
5=A1

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any questions.

Answer:

4. The range is -2 ≤ y ≤ 4

5. The domain is {-2 , -1 , 0 , 3.5 , 4.2}

6. The relation is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

# Question 4:

- The range of the function is the values of all y (output) which is

 corresponding to the values of all x (input)

- The figure is a stare, the values of x is from -4 to 4

∴ The domain is -4 ≤ x ≤ 4

- The corresponding values of y are from -2 to 4

∴The range is -2 ≤ y ≤ 4

# Question 5:

- The table represent a relation between x and y

- x is the input of the relation

- y is the output of the relation

∵ The input of the relation is called the domain of it

∴ The domain of the relation is all values of x in the table

- the values of x are -2 , -1 , 0 , 3.5 , 4.2

∴ The domain is {-2 , -1 , 0 , 3.5 , 4.2}

# Question 6:

- The relation can be a function if each ordered pair has a

  unique value of x (input)

- That means every x (input) has only one y (output)

- Ex : The relation {(a , b) , (c , d) , (a , f)} is not a function because

 the input a has two output b and f

∵ The relation is {(-4 , 0) , (-3 , 0) , (-2 , 1) , (1 , -2) , (-3 , 4)}

∵ The x = -3 has two values of y 0 and 4

∴ The relation is not a function
