I attatched the problem

What is the sum of the series? Write in expanded form making sure to show all steps used to find the sum.

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

k = 3

-2(3) + 5 = -1

k = 4

-2(4) + 5 = -3

k = 5

-2(5) + 5 = -5

k = 6

-2(6) + 5 = -7

(-1) + (-3) + (-5) + (-7)

= -16

Heya!

Things to know before we solve:

The "6" at the top means that the the sequence only goes to the 6th term.

k = 3 represents that the sequence starts with the 3rd term.

(-2k + 5) represents the rule of the sequence, we can substitute 3, 4, 5, and 6 to solve for the terms of the sequence.

Solving for each term:

3rd term:

-2(3) + 5

-6 + 5

-1

4th term:

-2(4) + 5

-8 + 5

-3

5th term:

-2(5) + 5

-10 + 5

-5

6th term:

-2(6) + 5

-12 + 5

-7

Simplifying:

Write these terms in expanded form:

(-1) + (-3) + (-5) + (-7)

Find the sum of the series:

(-1) + (-3) + (-5) + (-7) = -16

The sum of the series is -16

Best of Luck!

my answer is$ 12

step-by-step explanation:

because 15 -2=12

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
