Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is

Sn = s1(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)

with r being the common ratio and s1 is the first term.

so,

S15 = 7×(1 - (-3)¹⁵)/(1 - -3) = 7×(1 - -14,348,907)/4 =

= 7×14,348,908/4 = 7×3,587,227 = 25,110,589

Answer:

11/16

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 red crayons, 2 blue crayons, and 5 yellow crayons. We can represent this as a ratio of 9:2:5. Now we have to combine the red crayons and blue crayons so it's 11 red and blue crayons: 5 yellow crayons OR 11:5. Then we add those two values to find out the number of crayons there are, and there are 16. So out of 16 times, you will pick up a red or blue crayon 11 times. So this fraction is 11/16 which is already its simplest form.
