<h3>Geometric sequence. Sum of a geometric series.</h3>

A geometric sequence goes from one term to the next by always multiplying or dividing by the constant value except 0. The constant number multiplied (or divided) at each stage of a geometric sequence is called the common ratio (r).

A geometric series is the sum of an infinite number of terms of a geometric sequence.

A geometric series is convergers if |r| < 1.

A geometric series is diveres if |r| > 1.

Calculate the common ratio:

r=\dfrac{18}{27}=\dfrac{18:9}{27:9}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\r=\dfrac{12}{18}=\dfrac{12:6}{18:6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\r=\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{8:24}{12:4}=\dfrac{2}{3}

\left|\dfrac{2}{3}\right| < 1

<h3>The geometric series is converges.</h3>

Therefore exist the sum.

Formula of a sum of a geometric series:

S=\dfrac{a_1}{1-r},\qquad|r| < 1

Substitute:

a_1=27,\ r=\dfrac{2}{3}

S=\dfrac{27}{1-\frac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{27}{\frac{1}{3}}=27\cdot\dfrac{3}{1}=81

\huge\boxed{S=81}

verify that the fucntion satisfies the three hypotheses of rolles theorem on the given interval . then find all numbers c that s
Ghella [55]

The roots of the polynomial <span><span>x^3 </span>− 2<span>x^2 </span>− 4x + 2</span> are:

<span><span>x1 </span>= 0.42801</span>

<span><span>x2 </span>= −1.51414</span>

<span><span>x3 </span>= 3.08613</span>


x1 and x2 are in the desired interval [-2, 2]

f'(x) = 3x^2 - 4x - 4

so we have:

3x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0

<span>x = ( 4 +- </span><span>√(16 + 48) </span>)/6

x_1 = -4/6 = -0.66

x_ 2 = 2

According to Rolle's theorem, we have one point in between:

x1 = 0.42801 and x2 = −1.51414

where f'(x) = 0, and that is <span>x_1 = -0.66</span>

so we see that Rolle's theorem holds in our function.

Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. F varies directly with s and inversely as the square root of d. f=6 whe
gladu [14]

Answer:

Use the equation found in step 3 and the remaining information given in the problem to answer the question asked. In this case, you need to find x when y = 44 and z = 6. Example 2 – If f varies directly as g and inversely as the square of h, and f = 20 when g = 50 and h = 5, find f when g = 18 and h = 6.
