Answer:
<em>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Summation Notation </u>
It represents the sum of a finite or infinite number of terms. Let's analyze the terms of the given succession:
5-15+45-135+...
If we take 5 as a common factor, we have
5(1-3+9-27+...)
The parentheses contain the alternate sum/subtraction of powers of 3. The odd terms are positive, the even terms are negative, thus the exponent must be n starting from 0 or n-1 starting from 1
The summation is then represented by
This corresponds with the option:
<u>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</u>
