Answers:
x = -8/5 or x = 8/5
Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092
========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
- first term = 4
- second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
- third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2
The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2
We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16
Therefore, we have these two equations
Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.
-----------------
To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
We have
- a = 4 = first term
- r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
- n = 10 = number of terms to sum up
So,
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)
S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)
S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)
S10 = 4092

Answer:
7.87 years
Step-by-step explanation:
#First we determine the effective annual rate based on the 9% compounded semi annual;
#We then use this effective rate in the compound interest formula to solve for n. Given that the principal doubles after 2 yrs:
Hence, it takes 7.87 years for the principal amount to double.
Y = 9x - 5...the slope here is 9...a parallel line will have the same slope.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 9
(5,-4)...x = 5 and y = -4
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
-4 = 9(5) + b
-4 = 45 + b
-4 - 45 = b
-49 = b
so ur parallel line is : y = 9x - 49
y = 9x - 5...slope is 9. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -1/9.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/9
(5,-4)...x = 5 and y = -4
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
-4 = -1/9(5) + b
-4 = -5/9 + b
-4 + 5/9 = b
-36/9 + 5/9 = b
- 31/9 = b
so ur perpendicular line is : y = -1/9x - 31/9
