The sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence given the first term (a1) and the common ratio (r) is calculated through the equation,
<span>Sn </span>= (<span><span><span>a1</span>(1−<span>r^n</span>) / (</span><span>1−r)
Substituting the known terms,
Sn = (20)(1 - (1/4)^4)) / (1 - 1/4)
Sn = 26.5625
Thus, the sum of the first four terms is 26.5625. </span></span>

Multiplying two negatives makes it positive.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x)=5x^2+9x-2
Remainder theorem states that when f(x) is divided by x-a then the remainder can be calculated by calculating f(a).
Now Using the remainder theorem to divide 5x^2+9x-2 by x+3 to find the remainder:
f(x)=5x^2+9x-2
f(-3) = 5(-3)^2 +9(-3) -2
=5(9) - 27 -2
= 45-29
= 16 !
