Answer:

The nth term of the geometric sequence is given by;

a_n = a_1r^{n-1}, .....[1] n is the number of terms.

where,

a_1 is the first term and r is the common ratio of the terms.

As per the statement:

Given:

a_1= 625 and a_2 = -125

Using [1];

a_2 = a_1 \cdot r

Substitute the value of a_1 we have;

-125 = 625 \cdot r

Divide both sides by 625 we have;

-\frac{1}{5} = r

or

r= -\frac{1}{5}

We have to find 7th term of the geometric sequence.

For n = 7 we have;

a_7 = a_1 \cdot r^6

Substitute the given values we have;

a_7 = 625 \cdot (-\frac{1}{5})^6 = \frac{625}{15625} = \frac{1}{25} =0.04

therefore, the 7th term of the geometric sequence is, 0.04

Common ratio, r = (-125)/625 = -0.2
First term, a = 625

7 term
= ar^6
= 625(-0.2)^6
= -0.04

Determine whether each integral is convergent or divergent. If it is convergent evaluate it. (a) integral from 1^(infinity) e^(-
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

a) So, this integral is convergent.

b) So, this integral is divergent.

c) So, this integral is divergent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We calculate the next integrals:

a)

\int_1^{\infty} e^{-2x} dx=\left[-\frac{e^{-2x}}{2}\right]_1^{\infty}\\\\\int_1^{\infty} e^{-2x} dx=-\frac{e^{-\infty}}{2}+\frac{e^{-2}}{2}\\\\\int_1^{\infty} e^{-2x} dx=\frac{e^{-2}}{2}\\

So, this integral is convergent.

b)

\int_1^{2}\frac{dz}{(z-1)^2}=\left[-\frac{1}{z-1}\right]_1^2\\\\\int_1^{2}\frac{dz}{(z-1)^2}=-\frac{1}{1-1}+\frac{1}{2-1}\\\\\int_1^{2}\frac{dz}{(z-1)^2}=-\infty\\

So, this integral is divergent.

c)

\int_1^{\infty} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}=\left[2\sqrt{x}\right]_1^{\infty}\\\\\int_1^{\infty} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}=2\sqrt{\infty}-2\sqrt{1}\\\\\int_1^{\infty} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}=\infty\\

So, this integral is divergent.
