Need asap got 5 minutes will give anything what is the sum of the first 7 terms of the series −3+6−12+24− ?

Answer

129

Explanation

−3+6−12+24−...

The series is a geometric progression.

The first term (a) = -3

Common ration (r) = 6/-3

                          = -2

The formula for getting the sum of a geometric progression is

Sum = a(rⁿ - 1)/(r - 1)

          = -3(-2⁷ - 1)/(-2 - 1)

          = -3(-128-1)/-3

            = (-3 × -129)/-3

              = -129

452,489 to the nearest thousand is 452,000

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
