What is the condition that causes an infinite geometric series to have no sum? Explain why

1 answer:

4 0

This only happens when the ordinary ratio is greater than one, the terms of the sequence will get bigger and bigger, and if you add larger numbers you won't get a definitive answer.

How do you identify the necessary information that is missing from a problem?

alexdok [17]

Answer:

It depends

Step-by-step explanation:

Identifying what is <em>not there</em> is always difficult. In the general case, the range of possibilities is infinite.

For relatively simple math problems, the problem statement usually gives a context and asks a question. The context will generally tell you the nature of the relationships that apply. The question will generally be answered by making use of the relationships to relate given information to requested information.

If a relationship involves 4 items, one is "unknown" (that you're asked to find), and only 2 are given, then you know the missing information is the remaining item in the relationship.

Often, you can work a problem a number of ways, so the information that is missing depends on the method you choose for working the problem.

___

In complicated multi-step problems, relationships may need to be developed, theorems proved, massive amounts of data examined, and more. In some cases, whole new areas of mathematics may need to be invented.

Determine the center and radius of the following circle equation:<br> x2 + y2 – 10x + 8y + 40 = 0

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The center of this circle is (5, -4) and the radius is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First regroup these terms according to x and y :

x^2 - 10x + y^2 + 8y = -40

Next, complete the square for x^2 - 10x: x^2 - 10x + 5^2 - 5^2.

and the same for y^2 + 8y: y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16

Substituting these results into x^2 - 10x + y^2 + 8y = -40, we get:

x^2 - 10x + 5^2 - 5^2 y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16 = -40.

Next, rewrite x^2 - 10x + 25 and y^2 + 8y + 16 as squares of binomials:

Then x^2 - 10x + 5^2 - 5^2 y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16 = -40 becomes:

(x - 5)^2 + (y + 4)^2 - 25 - 16 = -40, or:

(x - 5)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 1

This equation has the form (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius. Matching like terms, we get h = 5, k = -4 and r = 1.

The center of this circle is (5, -4) and the radius is 1.

The birth rate of a population is b(t) = 2300e0.021t people per year and the death rate is d(t)= 1450e0.018t people per year, fi

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

38,674.This area represents the increase in population over a 10-year period.

Step-by-step explanation:

When graphed over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 10, the birth rate is more than the death rate. This means the area between the two curves is the amount of births subtract the amount of deaths. This results in an area which means the increase of the population.

The birth rate is graphed in green and the death rate is graphed in blue.

To find the area, take the integral of the difference of the functions:

$\int\limits^{10}_0 {2300e^{0.021t} - 1450e^{0.018t} } \, dt \\\\\frac{2300e^{0.021t}}{0.021} - \frac{1450e^{0.018t}}{0.018} \\\\(\frac{2300e^{0.21}}{0.021} -\frac{1450e^{0.18}}{0.018} ) - (\frac{2300}{0.021}- \frac{1450}{0.018} ) \\\\135117.12 - 96442.51 \\\\38,674$
