Answer:2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
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) ]
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Addition and subtraction are both closed under polynomials.
That means that when we add and subtract polynomials, we will end up with a polynomial
f(x) + g(x) will = always be a polynomial when we start with polynomials
f(x) - g(x) will = always be a polynomial when we start with polynomials

so hmm the idea behind the elimination, is to make the value atop or below, of either variable, the same but with a negative sign
so hmmm say... we'll eliminate "y"
so... let's see, we have 2y and 5y, both positive
what do we multiply 2y to get a negative -5y, that way, -5y +5y = 0 and poof it goes
well let's see, let's try "k"

so.. if we multiply 2y by -5/2, we'll end up with -5y
well, let's multiply that first equation then by -5/2

so.. now we know x = 1.... so let's plug that in say hmmm 2nd equation
Right here:)))))))))))))))))
