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.

H(-4), h(0), h(4), h(8)

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two x-values, -4 and 0, fall in the first part of the function definition.

There is no function definition for x = 4, as the second part only applies for x > 4.

The last x-value, 8, falls in the second part of the function definition.

The function is evaluated by putting the x-value where x is in the expression and doing the arithmetic. For example, ...

  h(-4) = -(-4+1)^2 +7 = -(-3)^2 +7 = -9 +7 = -2

  h(0) = 6

  h(4) = undefined

  h(8) = -8/3

A rectangle has a perimeter of 84 miles and a height of 26 miles .what is the length of the base?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is 26 miles. Multiply that by 2 which gets 52 and then subtract that from 84. That gives you 32 which means the sum of the lengths is 32/2 which is 16 miles
