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.

Mateo is constructing an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle with center P. He draws the diameter of the circle through c
GenaCL600 [577]
Reading the question carefully, "<span>He draws the diameter of the circle through center P using a straight edge. Next he opens his compass to a width equivalent to the radius of the circle." - that implies that Mateo is still in the process of drawing the circle by which the equilateral is inscribed to.

The next steps should be:
*He should draw the upper and lower arcs using the compass opened to a width equivalent to the radius of the sircle.
*Make a vertical diameter using centroid P as basis.
*Draw two right triangles facing the opposite directions using the top most point by which the vertical diameter of the circle touches the top most circumference of the circle.

Doing these steps, Mateo will be able to draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.
