50 POINTS What are the values of a1 and r of the geometric series? 2 – 2 + 2 – 2 + 2

a1=2 and r=-1

Explanation:

"A geometric series is a series with a constant ratio between successive terms".

Here, we can observe that the first term 'a' is '2'.

And the common ratio 'r' =

Therefore, the first term 'a' is 2 and common ratio 'r' is '-1'.

First term, a, is 2.  Next term, -2, is the product of 2 and -1 and is -2.  Next term, 2, is the product of -2 and -1.  Thus, the first term, a, is 2 and the common ratio, r, is -1

3   .08c = 7.50+.05c   250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1.   sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.   perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1   in those 60 times.   your experimental probability is 0.   or perhaps you rolled a 1   20 times.   your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3.     it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2.   never

the probability of the event occurring is 1.   that is being 100 % sure it will happen.   that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3.   no customer card cost:   .08 times number of pages

customer card cost:   7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250  

the cost is the same at 250 pages

hope this !
