Which geometric series converges ???

Mathematics

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric series will only converge if - 1 < r < 1

sum to infinity = \frac{a}{1-r}

The nth term formula for a geometric series is

a_{n} = ar^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

The only summation with - 1 < r < 1 is C where r = - 0.2

Answer:  The correct option is

(C) \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}4(-0.2)^{n-1}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are give to select the geometric series that converges.

We know that

the general (n-th) term of a common geometric series is given by

a_n=ar^{n-1}.

And the series converges if the modulus of the common ratio is less than 1, .e., |r| < 1.

Now, for the first infinite geometric series, we have

a_n=\dfrac{2}{3}(-3)^{n-1}.

So, the common ratio will be

r=-3~~~\Rightarrow |r|=3>1.

That is, the series will not converge. Option (A) is incorrect.

For the second geometric series, we have

a_n=5(-1)^{n-1}.

So, the common ratio will be

r=-1~~~\Rightarrow |r|=1.

That is, the series will not converge. Option (B) is incorrect.

For the third geometric series, we have

a_n=4(-0.2)^{n-1}.

So, the common ratio will be

r=-0.2~~~\Rightarrow |r|=0.2

That is, the series will CONVERGE. Option (C) is correct.

For the fourth geometric series, we have

a_n=0.6(-2)^{n-1}.

So, the common ratio will be

r=-2~~~\Rightarrow |r|=2>1.

That is, the series will not converge. Option (D) is incorrect.

Thus, (C) is the correct option.

Nike reported a profit of $28,951,000 for one quarter (3 months), a profit of $20,570,000 for the second quarter, a profit of $1
Olenka [21]

Answer:

\$16,826,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Nike reported a profit of $28,951,000 for one quarter (3 months), a profit of $20,570,000 for the second quarter, a profit of $15,342,000 the third quarter, and a loss of $48,037,000 for the fourth quarter.

To find the net profit for year, we will subtract the loss in the 4th quarter from the sum of profit in 3 quarters as:

\text{Net profit for the year}=\$28,951,000+\$20,570,000+\$15,342,000-\$48,037,000

\text{Net profit for the year}=\$64,863,000-\$48,037,000

\text{Net profit for the year}=\$16,826,000

Therefore, the net profit for the year was \$16,826,000.

A line with a slope of 5 passes through the point (2,10). What is its equation in slope intercept form
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y = 5x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

Slope / m = 5

Equation of the line passing through point (2 , 10) is

y - 10 = 5(x - 2)

y - 10 = 5x - 10

y = 5x - 10 + 10

<h3>y = 5x</h3>

Hope this helps you
