Write the sum using the summation notation assuming the suggested pattern continues 2, -10, 50, -250, +… Is this sequence arithmetic or geometric? How do you know?

geometric

x=number of terms

∑ 2(-5)^(k-1)

k=1

Step-by-step explanation:

the sequence has a ratio of -5 (2*-5=-10, -10*-5=50)

x=number of terms

∑ 2(-5)^(k-1)

k=1

for this i don't know what the last term is since it doesn't show in the question but just find 2(-5)^x and x will be the top term

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
