Find S18 for geometric series given a5=-6 and a2= -48

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
3 0

an = a1r^(n-1)

a5 = a1 r^(5-1)

-6 =a1 r^4


a2 = a1 r^(2-1)

-48 = a1 r


divide

-6 =a1 r^4

----------------    yields   1/8 = r^3      take the cube root  or each side

-48 = a1 r                     1/2 = r


an = a1r^(n-1)

an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)

-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1

divide by 1/2

-96 = a1


an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)


the sum

Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]

S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]

       =-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]

      = 192 * [-131071/131072]

 approximately -192

Divide 40x 64y by 5x 8y
velikii [3]
If you would like to solve (40 * x * 64 * y) / (5 * x * 8 * y), you can calculate this using the following steps:

(40 * x * 64 * y) / (5 * x * 8 * y<span>) = 8 * 8 = 64
</span>
The correct result would be 64.

Albert bought some fish at a grocery store at $2 per pound for salmon and $4 per pound for catfish. He spent a total of $12 on s
Gemiola [76]

Albert bought 2 pounds of catfish and 2 pounds of salmon

Let c represent the amount of catfish in pounds and s represent the amount of salmon in pounds.

He spent a total of $12 on salmon and catfish and bought a total of 4 pounds.  Hence:

c + s = 4    (1)

4c + 2s = 12    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

c = 2, s = 2

Albert bought 2 pounds of catfish and 2 pounds of salmon
