The given geometric series as shown in the question is seen to; Be converging with its' sum as 81

<h3>How to identify a converging or diverging series?</h3>

We are given the geometric series;

27 + 18 + 12 + 8 + ...

Now, we see that;

First term; a₀ = 27

Second Term; a₁ = 2(27/3)

Third term; a₂ = 2²(27/3²)

Fourth term; a₃ = 2³(27/3³)

Thus, the formula is;

2ⁿ(27/3ⁿ)

Applying limits at infinity gives;

2^(∞) * (27/3^(∞)) = 0

Since the  terms of the series tend to zero, we can affirm that the series converges.

The sum of an infinite converging series is:

S_n = a/(1 - r)

S_n = 27/(1 - (2/3)

S_n = 81

Use the table below to determine whether f(x) could represent a linear function If it could write f(x) in the form f(x)=mx+b
Elodia [21]

Answer:

  • f(x) = 6x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We see f(x) increase is linear and is 6 at each step, so m = 6 and y-intercept is b = -5, from point (0, -5)

<u>So the function is:</u>

  • f(x) = 6x - 5

Semmy [17]
$15 x .0725 = 1.0875 which we have to round to $1.09
Notice how I changed the  7.25% to a decimal .0725 by moving it back two places.
