Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum you are trying to understand is this.
Remember that in general when you have a geometric series
you have that
and that equality is true as long as 
.
Therefore here we have
and 
Therefore we can use the formula and
Answer:
a- x = 5/3, or x = -7/2
b- 675
c - 5·x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial representing the capital of the two partners = 6·x² + 11·x - 35
a. The total share is the capital of the two partners together = 6·x² + 11·x - 35
∴ When their total share is equal to 0, we have;
6·x² + 11·x - 35 = 0
Factorizing the above equation with a graphing calculator gives;
(3·x - 5)·(2·x + 7)
Therefore;
x = 5/3, or x = -7/2
b- The total expenditure, when x = 10 is given by substituting the value of <em>x </em>in the polynomial 6·x² + 11·x - 35, as follows;
When x = 10
6·x² + 11·x - 35 = 6 × 10² + 11 × 10 - 35 = 675
The total expenditure of Vicky and Micky when x = 10 is 675
c - The sum of their expenditure is (3·x - 5) + (2·x + 7) = 5·x + 2
Answer: -37 & -3
Step-by-step explanation:
-20-17= -37
-20+17= -3
34-6=28
The correct answer is 28
