Find S^20 if the series 1 + 1.1 ..... is a (a) arithmetic (b) geometric

quester [9]

I'm guessing S^20 is actually referring to the 20th partial sum $S_{20}$ , with

$S_{20}=1+(1+1\times0.1)+(1+2\times0.1)+\cdots+(1+18\times0.1)+(1+19\times0.1)$

in the arithmetic case, and

$S_{20}=1+1.1+1.1^2+\cdots+1.1^{18}+1.1^{19}$

in the geometric case.

(a) Combining like terms, we have

$S_{20}=20+0.1(1+2+\cdots+18+19)$

and invoking the formula

$1+2+\cdots+(n-1)+n=\dfrac{n(n+1)}2$

we end up with

$S_{20}=20+0.1\dfrac{19\times20}2=39$

(b) Multiply $S_{20}$ by 1.1, then subtract this from $S_{20}$ :

$1.1S_{20}=1.1+1.1^2+1.1^3+\cdots+1.1^{19}+1.1^{20}$

$S_{20}-1.1S_{20}=-0.1S_{20}=1-1.1^{20}$
$\implies S_{20}=\dfrac{1.1^{20}-1}{0.1}\approx57.275$

Can someone plz help me?

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{6} mile = 1hour \\ \frac{1}{5} mile = xhour \\ \frac{1}{6} x = \frac{1}{5} \\ x = \frac{1}{6} \div \frac{1}{5} \\ \frac{1 }{6} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{6}{5}$

The 5th term in a geometric sequence is 40. The 7th term is 10. What is (are) the possible value(s) of the 4th term?

Lena [83]

Answer:

possible values of 4th term is 80 & - 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of a geometric series is given by

$a(n)=ar^{n-1}$

Where a(n) is the nth term, r is the common ratio (a term divided by the term before it) and n is the number of term

Given, 5th term is 40, we can write:

$ar^{5-1}=40\\ar^4=40$

Given, 7th term is 10, we can write:

$ar^{7-1}=10\\ar^6=10$

We can solve for a in the first equation as:

$ar^4=40\\a=\frac{40}{r^4}$

<em>Now we can plug this into a of the 2nd equation:</em>

<em> $ar^6=10\\(\frac{40}{r^4})r^6=10\\40r^2=10\\r^2=\frac{10}{40}\\r^2=\frac{1}{4}\\r=+-\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \\r=\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}$ </em>

<em />

<em>Let's solve for a:</em>

<em> $a=\frac{40}{r^4}\\a=\frac{40}{(\frac{1}{2})^4}\\a=640$ </em>

<em />

Now, using the general formula of a term, we know that 4th term is:

4th term = ar^3

<u>Plugging in a = 640 and r = 1/2 and -1/2 respectively, we get 2 possible values of 4th term as:</u>

$ar^3\\1.(640)(\frac{1}{2})^3=80\\2.(640)(-\frac{1}{2})^3=-80$

possible values of 4th term is 80 & - 80
