Can you help me solve an infinite geometric sequence

Mathematics
1 answer:
zaharov [31]3 years ago
8 0

A geometric series like

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{1}{\alpha^n}

Converges if and only if |\alpha|>1. If this is the case, the sum equals

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{1}{\alpha^n} = \dfrac{1}{\alpha-1}

So, in your case, you have convergence if and only if

|2+a|>1 \iff 2+a>1 \lor 2+a-1 \lor a

And if this is the case, the sum equals

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{1}{(2+a)^n} = \dfrac{1}{2+a-1} = \dfrac{1}{a+1}

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

95% confidence interval: (2.784,3.176)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Sample size, n = 25

Sample mean = $2.98

Standard error = $0.10

Alpha = 0.05

95% confidence interval:

\mu \pm z_{critical}(\text{Standard error})

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

2.98 \pm 1.96(0.10) = 2.98 \pm 0.196 = (2.784,3.176)

Really need help with this plsss answer
Nutka1998 [239]
Point slope form is:

y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})

With y_{1} and x_{1} being the coordinate points, and m being the slope.

So the coordinate points are (4, -5), and the slope is -6 in this case.

So just substitute everything in, to get:

y - ( -5) = -6(x - 4)

Or

y + 5 = -6 (x - 4)
