Answer:

S₈ = - 3280

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric series is

S_{n} = \frac{a_{}(r^{n}-1)  }{r-1}

Here a₁ = 2, r = - 3 and n = 8 , then

S₈ = \frac{2((-3)^{8}-1) }{-3-1}

   = \frac{2(6561-1)}{-4}

   = \frac{2(6560)}{-4}

   = \frac{13120}{-4}

   = - 3280

Step-by-step explanation:

Summation:

{ \bf{sum =  \frac{a( {r}^{n }-1 )}{r - 1} }} \\  \\ { \tt{sum =  \frac{2( { { - 3}^{8 } -1)} }{ - 3 - 1} }} \\ { \tt{ =  \frac{13120}{-4} }} \\  = -3280

Answer:

it's the point (3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 3 into x and plug in 2 into y. You will get 2≤2(3)-4. This ends up equalling 2≤2. THis is the answer cuz 2 is equal to or less than 2. :)

Hello,

u_{0} =a\\&#10; u_{1} =a*r\\&#10; u_{2} =a*r^{2}=-6\\&#10; u_{3} =a*r^{3}\\&#10; u_{4} =a*r^{4}\\&#10; u_{5} =a*r^{5}=162\\&#10;....\\&#10;\boxed{ u_{n} =a*r^{n}} \\&#10;&#10;\dfrac{ 162}{-6} = \dfrac{ u_{5} }{ u_{3}} = \dfrac{ a*r^{5}}{ a*r^{2}} =r^3= -27\\&#10;==\ \textgreater \  r=-3\\&#10;&#10; u_{2} =a*r^{2}=-6=a*(-3)^2 \ ==\ \textgreater \  a=-\frac{6}{9} =-\frac{2}{3}\\&#10;&#10;&#10;\boxed{ u_{n} =-\frac{2}{3}*(-3)^{n}=(-1)^{n+1}*2*3^{n-1}} \\&#10;&#10;
