Monica measures the number of bacteria that are living on her petri dish. Each day, she measures the amount of change in the number of bacteria. These amounts create a geometric sequence. Use the data in the table to determine the sum of the amounts of change in the bacteria after the seventh day. Day Amount of Change in Bacteria 1 2 2 −8 3 32 4 −128 −6553.2 −10.8 6554 11.6

  6554

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence 2, -8, 32, -128 has a first term (a1) of 2 and a common ratio (r) of -8/2 = -4. The sum of n terms is given by ...

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

For your sequence, the sum of 7 terms is ...

  S7 = 2·((-4)^7 -1)/(-4-1) = 2(-16384/-5) = 6554

The sum of changes after the 7th day is 6554.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
