Solve 4(a+4)-2=34 what is a

15.5

step-by-step explanation:

5

∑

n = 1

substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and sum the terms

= + + + 2² + 2³

= 0.5 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 8

= 15.5

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
