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.

Y - x - 3 = 0
y = x + 3

y = x^2 - x - 12
x + 3 = x^2 - x - 12
x^2 - x - 12 - x - 3 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

x - 5 = 0     y = x + 3
x = 5          y = 5 + 3
                  y = 8

x + 3 = 0     y = x + 3
x = -3          y = -3 + 3
                   y = 0

so ur solutions are : (5,8) and (-3,0)

agasfer [191]
The 3 is in the one-thousandths place.
You can call this number "zero point zero zero three."
Since the 3 is in the thousandths place, this number can also be called "three thousandths."
Use the name of the number to find the ratio.
"three thousandths" means 3 out of 1000.
The ratio is 3:1000 or 3/1000.
