Answer:

S10= -341

Step-by-step explanation:

1,-2,4,-8,16,.......

Sum of first 10 terms of geometric sequence

Sn=a(r^n-1)/r-1

where, a= first term

n= number of terms

r=common ratio

common ratio (r)= second term/first term

r=-2/1

r=-2

a=first term

a=1

n= number of terms

n=10

S10=1[(-2)^10-1]/-2-1

S10=(1024-1)/-3

S10=1023/-3

S10= -341

therefore, the sum of the first 10 terms is -342

Use the zero property to determine the solutions for (2x + 6)(x - 7) = 0.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

x = -3

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If either term is zero the product is zero

(2x + 6)(x - 7) = 0

2x + 6 = 0

2x = -6

x = -3

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

2. Confirm that 1+V5 and 1 - V5 are the correct roots for x2 – 2x – 4 = 0.
hoa [83]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 2x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

x² - 2x = 4

To solve use the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 1)x + 1 = 4 + 1

(x - 1)² = 5 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 1 = ± \sqrt{5} ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 1 ± \sqrt{5}, thus

x = 1 + \sqrt{5} or x = 1 - \sqrt{5}

Out of the 120 students at a summer camp, 72 signed up for canoeing. There were 23 students who signed up for trekking, and 13 o
Virty [35]
Approx - 10% 


72 students signed up for canoeing + the 23 students who signed up for trekking + the 13 students who signed up for both = 108 students 

there are 120 students total, so you have to subtract 120 - 108 = 12 

Now to find the percentage, you have to divide the number of students who didn't sign up for either, by the total 

which is .1 = 10/100 = 10%
