Find the sum of the finite geometric series

6 - 4 + 8/3 - 16/9 + 32/17

The sum of geometric series 6 - 4 + 8/3 - 16/9 + 32/17 is 4.0416

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the sum of geometric series 6 - 4 + 8/3 - 16/9 + 32/17

The formula used to find sum of geometric series is

where a is 1st term, n is number of terms and r is common ratio

so, in the given geometric series 6 - 4 + 8/3 - 16/9 + 32/17 we have

First Term a=6

Common ratio r= -0.6

Number of terms n= 5

Putting values in formula to find sum of given geometric series

So, the sum of geometric series 6 - 4 + 8/3 - 16/9 + 32/17 is 4.0416

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
