The dilation rules are KITS.
Answer:
The series has 7 terms

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Geometric Series</u>
In the geometric series, each term is found by multiplying (or dividing) the previous term by a fixed number, called the common ratio.
We are given the series:
-12, -4, -4/3, ..., -4/243
We can find the common ratio by dividing one term by the previous term:

Simplifying:

Sum of terms: Given a geometric series with first term a1 and common ratio r, the sum of n terms is:

We need to find how many terms the series has. Using the explicit formula of a geometric series:

The last term is an=-4/243 and the first term is a1=-12. Solving for n:



n=7
The series has 7 terms
Thus, the sum of the 7 terms of the series is:


Those are mixed fractions, so first you have to make them improper fractions, multiply the whole times the denominator and add the numerator, that will be you new numerator, then copy your denomminator.
81/8 + (29/8 + 23/8) Since they already have the same denominator use order of operations to proceed, 81/8+57/8 = 138/8 =17 2/8 = 17 1/4
Answer:
I got in my answer that x < 3
I think it’s the parallel sides “b”
