Answer:

S20 ≈ 4.942

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a geometric series is expressed as Sn = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r if r<1

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

Given the geometric series

1 + 0.8 + 0.8^2 +0.8^3 + ... + 0.8^{19}

Given a = 1,

r = 0.8/1 = 0.8²/0.8 = 0.8

n = 20 (The total number of terms in the series is 20)

Substituting this values in the formula above.

S20 = 1(1-0.8^20)/1-0.8

S20 = 1-0.01153/0.2

S20 = 0.9885/0.2

S20 ≈ 4.942

Answer:

<h2><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>-</em><em>4</em></h2>

<em>Sol</em><em>ution</em><em>,</em>

<em>X=</em><em>4</em>

<em>Now</em><em>,</em>

<em>5x - 3y = 32 \\ or \: 5 \times x - 3y = 32 \\ or \: 5 \times 4 - 3y = 32 \\ or \: 20 - 3y = 32 \\ or \:  - 3y = 32 - 20 \\ or \:  - 3y = 12 \\ or \: y = -   \frac{12}{ 3}  \\ y =  - 4</em>
