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).

Probability that 2 of the 10 chargers will be defective =0.35

Number of ways of selecting 10 chargers from 20 chargers is 20C10

20C10 = 184756

Number of ways of selecting 10 chargers from 20 = 184756

Number of ways of selecting 2 defective chargers from 5 defective chargers = 5C2

5C2 = 10

Since 2 defective chargers have been chosen, there remains 8 to choose

Number of ways of selecting 8 good chargers from 15 remaining chargers = 15C8

Number of ways of selecting 8 good chargers from 15 remaining chargers = 6435

Probability that 2 of the 10 will be defective =

(10x6435)/184756

Probability that 2 of the 10 will be defective = 64350/184756

Probability that 2 of the 10 chargers will be defective =0.35

How to you get the radical form?
Over [174]

Answer:

Note: this answer is kind of long so jump to picture to see a visual process.

In order to find the simplest radical form of a square root, you need prime factorize the number. In order to do this, you take a number and divide it by different prime numbers until all of its factors are now prime. We will use 24 as our example. 24 divided by 2 (which is prime) is 12. 12 divided by 2, is 6. 6 divided by 2 is 3. Therefor, our prime factorization of 24 is 2^3 * 3, which basically means 8 * 3. Then, take take out pairs of the same number and put on the OUTSIDE of the root. However, make sure that it is NEXT to the square root and not inside the mini hook that the square root makes. This means that that number is multiplying the square root of the number. Now, the only pair in this prime factorization is 2, so take two out of the prime factorization and that leaves us with square root 6 times 2, which is the answer.

Also, when taking out pairs, only take one number from the pair (in this case 2) and put it on the outside. If there is another pair, multiply that number by the other number. So if there was a pair of 3 and a pair of 2, take out 1 three and 1 two and multiply them and put on the outside.
