Which equation could be used to calculate the sum of the geometric series? one-third two-ninths startfraction 4 over 27 endfract
Andrew [12]

The equation could be used to calculate the sum of the geometric series is S_n=\dfrac{\frac{1}{3} (1-(\frac{2}{3} )^n)}{1-\frac{2}{3} }

<h3>Sum of geometric sequence</h3>

Geometric sequence are sequence that increase expoentially. The formula for calculating the sum of an exponential sequence is expressed as:

S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}

where

  • a is the first term
  • n is the number of terms
  • r is the common ratio

From the given sequence

a= 1/3

r = 2/9 * 3 = 2/3

Substitute into the formula

S_n=\dfrac{\frac{1}{3} (1-(\frac{2}{3} )^n)}{1-\frac{2}{3} }

Hence the equation could be used to calculate the sum of the geometric series is S_n=\dfrac{\frac{1}{3} (1-(\frac{2}{3} )^n)}{1-\frac{2}{3} }

What is the solution to the linear equation? –12 3b – 1 = –5 – b b = –2 b = –1.5 b = 1.5 b = 2
Effectus [21]

The solution of the linear system is given by using an arithmetic operation. Then the value of b is 2.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.

The linear equation is given below.

–12 + 3b – 1 = –5 – b

The value of b will be given as

Add b both sides, we have

–12 + b + 3b – 1 = –5 – b + b

           –13 + 4b = –5

Add 13 on both sides, we have

13 – 13 + 4b = – 5 + 13

              4b = 8

Divide both sides by 4, we have

b = 2
