Here we're discussing the "nth partial sum of a geom series."
1 - r^n
The formula for that is s(n) = a(1) ---------------
1-r
We can subst. the given values and see where that takes us:
1 - (-2)^6 1 - 64
105 = a(1)*---------------- = ----------*a(1) = -21*a(1)
1-(-2) 3
105
Solving this for a(1): a(1) = --------- = -5 (answer)
-21
Answer:
x=61
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to the equation is 2.5
Since 1*7=7, 1 4/7= (7+4)/7=11/7. When dividing fractions, we switch the numerator and denominator for the bottom number, so in this case we'd have
(11/7)*(6/5)=66/35=around 1.89
