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).

GREYUIT [131]

190/5= rate per hour 38

38 (rate per hour)*48 (given hours)= 1824 quarts

38(rate per hour)* 24 (hours in a day)= 912 quarts per day

or

1824(quarts made in two days (48 hours))/2=912 quarts per day

An animal shelter has a 58% adoption rate for puppies. Of all puppies in the shelter, 80% live to be 7 years or older. Of the pu
dexar [7]

Answer:

P(A∩B) = 0.522

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the event that a puppy is adopted and B the probability that a puppy live 7 or more years

So, the probability P(A∩B) that a randomly selected puppy in the shelter will get adopted and live 7 or more years is:

P(A∩B) = P(A)*P(B/A)

Because A and B are not independents.

Then, the probability P(A) that a puppy is adopted is 58% and the probability P(B/A) that a puppy live 7 or more years given that the puppy is adopted is 90%.

Finally, replacing the values, we get:

P(A∩B) = 0.58*0.9 = 0.522

It means that the 52.2% of the puppies are adopted and live 7 or more years.

josh bought followers for nancy. he spent a total of $14.85 and bought 13 flowers. if he knows lilies cost $1.25 and tulips cost
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x = lillies

y = tulips

x + y = 13

1.25x + .90y = 14.85

-1.25x - 1.25y = -16.25

1.25x + .90y = 14.85

-0.35y = -1.40

y = 4 tulips

x + 4 = 13

x = 9 lillies

(9 lillies, 4 tulips)
