Answers:
x = -8/5 or x = 8/5
Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092
========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
- first term = 4
- second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
- third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2
The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2
We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16
Therefore, we have these two equations
Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.
-----------------
To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
We have
- a = 4 = first term
- r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
- n = 10 = number of terms to sum up
So,
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)
S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)
S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)
S10 = 4092
F(x + 1) = (5/2)*f(x)
f(x + 1) = 2.5*f(x), f(1) = 3.2
f(2) = 2.5f(1) = 2.5*3.2 = 8
<span>f(3) = 2.5f(2) = 2.5*8 = 20
</span>
f(4) = 2.5f(3) = 2.5*20 = 50
<span>f(5) = 2.5f(4) = 2.5*50 = 125</span>
Answer:
(2x)X-12
Step-by-step explanation:
x-6.x-2
X can equal 10,000 because 10,00 divided by 2 is 5000, which is 4 digits
