Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series with first term a1 and common ratio r (where |r| < 1) is ...

sum = a1/(1 -r)

Applying this to the given series, we get ...

a. sum = 5/(1 -3/4) = 5/(1/4) = 20

b. sum = d/(1 -1/t) = d/((t-1)/t) = dt/(t-1)

_____

The derivation of the above formula is in most texts on sequences and series. In general, you write an expression for the difference of the sum (S) and the product r·S. You find all terms of the series cancel except the first and last, and the last goes to zero in the limit, because r^∞ → 0 for |r| < 1. Hence you get ...

S -rS = a1

S = a1/(1 -r)

What does f(3) means ?

Butoxors [25]

F(x)=x^2+x+5

then

F(3) would be the function evaluated at x=3, or 17.

anytime you see F(3) it is just whatever formula you are looking at evaluated when the variable is equal to 3.

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 7.When the digits are interchanged,it is found that the resulting new number is g

spayn [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first we add 2 and5

2+5=7

when the digits are interchange the no. becomes 52

52 is greater than the original no. by 27

therefore the answer is said to be 52-27

And 52-27=25

Transversal CD cuts parallel lines PQ and RS at points X and Y, respectively. Points P and R lie on one side of line CD, while p

Lilit [14]

This problem is solved better well when given the drawing or the figure. It may have been given and you forgot to attach it in the question. However, so that we can solve this now, I drew the figure on my own (see the attached pic).

We can see from the figure that two parallel lines are intersected by a straight line. This type of scenario creates special angles. Angle PXY and angle RYX are called alternate interior angles since they are on the interior opposite sides of the cut.

By virtue of alternating interior angles, angle PXY and angle RYX are congruent hence:

m∠RYX = m∠PXY

m∠RYX = 64.36°
