0.737373...=0.73+0.73(0.01)+0.73(0.01)²+0.73(0.01)³...

=\Sigma_{n=1}^\infty 0.73(0.01)^{n-1}

The sum is 73/99.

We start out with
0.737373... = 0.73 + 0.0073 + 0.000073 + 0.00000073 + ...

This is the same as
0.737373... = 0.73 + 0.73(0.01) + 0.73(0.0001) + 0.73(0.000001) + ...

Which is the same as
0.737373... = 0.73 + 0.73(0.01) + 0.73(0.01)² + 0.73(0.01)³ + ...

The term number, n, relates to the exponent; when n = 2, the exponent is 1; when n = 3, the exponent is 2; etc.  This means the exponent is represented by n-1 in our series.

To find the sum, we see first that it is convergent because r = 0.01 < 1.  We can find the sum using 
a/(1-r), where a is the first term, 0.73:
0.73/(1-0.01) = 0.73/0.99 = 73/99

What is another way to name Plane P?
nydimaria [60]
You can name Plane P, many different ways,
Assuming you are asking this out of a textbook staring at a figure of a Parallelogram, their are probably points inside that shape and the way you would name it would be naming using any three points in the plane that are NOT on the same line in any order. <span />
