Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-5, 8)

Point (-11, 8)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [SF]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{8-8}{-11+ 5}$
[Fraction] Subtract/Add: $\displaystyle m=\frac{0}{-6}$
[Fraction] Divide/Simplify: $\displaystyle m=0$

What is the sum of the geometric series

lbvjy [14]

If $S$ denotes the sum of the first $n$ terms of a geometric series with first term $a$ and common ratio $r$ , then

$S=a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-3}+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}$
$rS=ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}+ar^n$
$\implies S-rS=a+(ar-ar)+(ar^2-ar^2)+\cdots+(ar^{n-1}-ar^{n-1})-ar^n$
$\implies (1-r)S=a(1-r^n)$
$\implies S=a=\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

Using summation notation, you have

$S=\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^nar^{x-1}=\sum_{x=0}^{n-1}ar^x=a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

In this case, you have $a=2$ , $r=\dfrac12$ , and $n=16$ . So the value of the sum is

$\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^{15}2\left(\frac14\right)^x=2\dfrac{1-\left(\frac14\right)^{16}}{1-\frac14}\approx2.67$

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer would be 3.
