Answer:  The correct option is (A) 2 + 0.2 + 0.02 + 0.002 +  .  .  .

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

We know that

a geometric series converges if the modulus of its common ratio is less than 1.

Option (A) : 2 + 0.2 + 0.02 + 0.002 +  .  .  .

Here, first term, a= 2  and the common ratio is given by

r=\dfrac{0.2}{2}=\dfrac{0.02}{0.2}=\dfrac{0.002}{0.02}=~.~.~.~=0.1\\\\\Rightarrow |r|=|0.1|=0.1

So, this geometric series will converge.

Option (A) is correct.

Option (B) : 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 +  .  .  .

Here, first term, a= 2  and the common ratio is given by

r=\dfrac{4}{2}=\dfrac{8}{4}=\dfrac{16}{8}=~.~.~.~=2\\\\\Rightarrow |r|=|2|=2>1.

So, this geometric series will not converge.

Option (B) is incorrect.

Option (C) : 2 - 20 + 200 - 2000 +  .  .  .

Here, first term, a= 2  and the common ratio is given by

r=\dfrac{-20}{2}=\dfrac{200}{-20}=\dfrac{-2000}{200}=~.~.~.~=-10\\\\\Rightarrow |r|=|-10|=10>1.

So, this geometric series will not converge.

Option (C) is incorrect.

Option (D) : 2 +2 + 2 + 2 +  .  .  .

Here, first term, a= 2  and the common ratio is given by

r=\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=~.~.~.~=1\\\\\Rightarrow |r|=|1|=1.

So, this geometric series will not converge.

Option (D) is incorrect.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

Answer: she would need four and a half cups more of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to add together all of them sugar she would have needed so (1 1/4 times 4) and then subtract what she already had and that gives you 4 and 1/2 cups she would need. Hope this helps

2+X/9 = 5x-6/27 SOLVE.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to cross multiply on both sides, which gives us:

9 * (5x - 6) = 27 * (2 + x)

45x - 54 = 54 + 27x

Now, we want to isolate x on either side.

We can substract 54 from both sides:

(45x - 54 = 54 + 27x) - 54

45x - 108 = 27x

We then subtract 45 from both sides:

(45x - 108 = 27x) - 45

-108 = -18x

Finally, we divide both sides by -18:

(-108 = -18x) / -18

6 = x

6. Write the equation of the line. ​
liberstina [14]

Answer:

y = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As the equation of a line is in the form y = mx + c:

Step 1 - Calculate the y intercept

This can be done by looking at the y coordinate where x = 0:

y = mx + c

In the picture, the y intercept is 2 so:

y = mx + 2

Step 2 - Calculate the slope

This can be calculated by:

\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}

Get two sets of coordinates:

(0, 2) and (2, 4)

Calculate the changes by subtracting from one another:

\frac{4 - 2}{2 - 0} \\\frac{2}{2}\\=1

So the gradient is 1, meaning the equation of the line is:

y = 1x + 2 \\\text{or}\\y = x + 2

Hope this helps!
