Wish I could help on so sorry
First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.
a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
15 = -3 r^(2-1)
-5 = r
r = -5
Then, we can find the sum by the expression:
S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(8) = -3 (1 + 5^8) / 1+5
S(8) = -195313
The correct answer is b) the function has an inverse because if passes the horizontal line test.
Answer:
141 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle: Base*Height*1/2
Area of a trapezoid: Height * (Base1 +Base2) / 2
Triangle Base = 6
Triangle Height = 8
6*8*1/2 = 24 square inches
Trapezoid Height = 9
Trapezoid Base1 = 16
Trapezoid Base2 = 10
9*(16+10) / 2 = 117 square inches
Total = Area of triangle + Area of trapezoid
Total = 24 + 117 = 141 square inches
