What is the sum of a 7-term geometric series if the first term is 6, the last term is 24,576, and the common ratio is -4? (1 points) -32,766 -19,662 19,662 32,766

What ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I didn't think you were given the common ratio, I didn't finish reading, and I would never think that they would give it to you, since you didn't need it.

Oh Okay

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{teal}{ \rm S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r} }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I Plug it in

That I Don't Understand How , But I Know How To Solve It

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

a1 is the first term, r is the ratio, n is the number of terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is \[r ^{n}\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I really can't be explaining how the recursive formula works and what each thing stands for right now. I am sorry -:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):
