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>
Explanation
Answer
As you can see all the possible answers have the same form:
By looking at the picture you'll notice that the graph of g(x) has to pass through the point (2,1). Remember that the points in the graph of g(x) have the form (x,g(x)). Since (2,1) is part of the graph of g(x) then we have the following:
So let's evaluate the expression for g(x) that we wrote before at x=2. This way we'll obtain an equation for the number a:
Then we can divide both sides by 4:
Then we get:
Then the answer is option A.
