6 - 34 + 96 - 384 +...
a 1 = 6 , a 2 = a 1 * ( - 4 ) , a 3 = a 2 * ( - 4 ), a 4 = a 3 * ( - 4)...
a 5 = - 384 * ( - 4 ) = 1,536
a 6 = 1536 * ( - 4 ) = - 6,144
a 7 = - 6,144 * ( - 4 ) = 24,576
This is a sum of a geometric sequence:
S 7 = 6 - 24 + 96 - 384 + 1,536 - 6,144 + 24,576 = 19,662
Another way to solve this:
S 7 = a 1 * ( r^n - 1) / ( r - 1 ) = 6 * (( - 4) ^7 - 1 )/ (- 4 - 1)=
= 6 * (-16,385) / (-5 ) = 19,662
For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope...
3y=-5x+15
y=-5x/3 +5, y=mx+b, where m=slope so:
A parallel line with have a slope of -5/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x:</u>
- 2x = 5x + 12
- 2x - 5x = 12
- -3x = 12
- x = -4
It is -4
I need help on that to. We have a test tomorrow and I can't figure it out and I need help:(
