Answer:

Option A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

First term (a) = –3

Common ratio (r) = 6

Sum of series (Sₙ) = –4665

Number of term (n) =?

The number of terms in the series can be obtained as follow:

Sₙ = a[rⁿ – 1] / r – 1

–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 6 – 1

–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 5

Cross multiply

–4665 × 5 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]

–23325 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]

Divide both side by –3

–23325 / –3 = 6ⁿ – 1

7775 = 6ⁿ – 1

Collect like terms

7775 + 1 = 6ⁿ

7776 = 6ⁿ

Express 7776 in index form with 6 as the base

6⁵ = 6ⁿ

n = 5

Thus, the number of terms in the geometric series is 5.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

1380 households in Gettysburg are likely interested in using lawn care services

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we find the sample proportion and estimate for the entire population.

Sample proportion of households in Gettysburg that are likely to be interested in using lawn care services?

92 of 92 + 51 + 17 = 160 households.

92/160 = 0.575

Based on his results, how many households in Gettysburg are likely interested in using lawn care services?

Sample proportion of 0.575.

For the entire population of 2400 households:

0.575*2400 = 1380

1380 households in Gettysburg are likely interested in using lawn care services
