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.

Armando read 20 pages of his 200-page book in 4 hours. At this rate, how long will it take him to read the entire book?
Jet001 [13]
What you would need to do is find out how many pages can he read in 1 hour. If he can read 20 pages in 4 hours, then that means he can read 5 pages in 1 hour. So, what you need to do is divide 5 by 200, and you'll get 40. Armando will finish the whole book in 40 hours.

Evaluate the expression using x = –1 and y=3. (6x4y3) What is the value of the expression? –162 –54 162 216
Wewaii [24]
Subst. the given x and y values:  6(-1)^4 * (3)^3
                                                         6      * 27 = 162

Note that you MUST do the exponentiation first.

Also note that your post would be much clearer if you'd please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:      6x^4 * y^3

Zack wants to make a profit more than $300 for painting 4 identical rooms. The profit he makes is equal to the amount he is paid
crimeas [40]
Profit = paid - supplies

Plug in the given values. We are finding out how much money he needs per room, if he is doing 4 rooms, and subtracting the supplies: 300 = 4n - 4*32.50

Simplify: 300 = 4n - 130

Add 130 to each side. 430 = 4n

Divide by 4 on each side: 107.50= n

300 = 4(107.50) - 130? True

This tells us he must be paid $107.50 to make $300 exactly. Anything larger than $107.51 and up will make more than $300.
