Let

where we assume |r| < 1. Multiplying on both sides by r gives

and subtracting this from
gives

As n → ∞, the exponential term will converge to 0, and the partial sums
will converge to

Now, we're given


We must have |r| < 1 since both sums converge, so


Solving for r by substitution, we have


Recalling the difference of squares identity, we have

We've already confirmed r ≠ 1, so we can simplify this to

It follows that

and so the sum we want is

which doesn't appear to be either of the given answer choices. Are you sure there isn't a typo somewhere?
Answer:
The way to answer this question is to find out the price per pound potato by dividing the amount the restaurant chief paid by the number of pounds bought.
Your question lacks details on the pounds bought in the other stores so I will assume these figures and you can use it as a reference.
Restaurant B - 2 pounds
Restaurant C - 12 pounds
Restaurant D - 5 pounds
Price per pound
Restaurant A = 6.60/8
= $0.83
Restaurant B = 3.50/2
= $1.75
Restaurant C = 9.75/12
= $0.82
Restaurant D = 4.80/8
= $0.96
<u><em>Restaurant C </em></u><em>has the lowest price per pound for potatoes. </em>
Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
84
Step-by-step explanation:
let a be the 1's digit and b the 10's digit, then
a = 2b ← twice the 10's digit, thus
sum = 2b + b = 12, that is
3b = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
b = 4
and a = 2b = 2 × 4 = 8
The 2 digit number is 84
