Answer:

Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

c is not -6. Because the equation equals 6, we will add 6 to both sides to set it equal to zero, which will make c=0

Answer:

Step 1, and step 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The end of the equation has to equal 0, so c can not be -6 but instead -12.

They forgot about the 4 +/- the square root of 40 in the last step.

What is the first term in a geometric sequence if the common ratio is − 2 and the sum of the first six terms is −105?

Serggg [28]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=-2\\
n=6\\
S_6=-105
\end{cases}$

$\bf -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(-2)^6}{1-(-2)} \right)\implies -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(64)}{1+2} \right)
\\\\\\
-105=a_1\left( \cfrac{-63}{3} \right)\implies -105=a_1(-21)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-105}{-21}=a_1\implies 5=a_1$
