The sum of the first four terms of a geometric series is 203, and the common ratio is 0.4. find the first term

The first term of the series is 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the first four terms of a geometric series can be described by the following equation:

Where x1 is the first term and r is the common ratio. Replacing the given values into the equation to solve for x1 yields:

The first term of the series is 125.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.
