Given

The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series

s =\frac{a1}{1-r}

used to convert 0.23 to a fraction

Find out  the values of a1 and r

To proof

As given in the question

The series is infinte geometric series

The  geometric is mostly in the form a , ar , ar² ,............

s = a + ar + ar² + ar³...........

Where  a = first term

         r = common ratio

The series is infinte geometric series i.e 0.2323...

thus it is written in the form

s  = 0.23 + 0.0023 + 0.000023 +...........

now written in the fraction form

we get

s = \frac{23}{100} +\frac{23}{10000}+\frac{23}{1000000} + .......

compare this series with the

s = a + ar + ar² + ar³...........

Thus

we get

a1 = \frac{23}{100}

a1 = 0.23

r = \frac{1}{100}

r = 0.01

Hence proved

I believe the number to be converted to a fraction is 0.232323..., this is 0.23 periodic.

The fomula is right:

 S= \frac{ a_{1} }{1-r}

Where a_{1}  is 0.23 and r is 1/100

Check it here:

    23/100          23/100         23
-------------- =    ----------- =   ------- = 0.232323...
1 - 1/100          99/100          99

So, the answer is   a_{1}=   23/100 and r = 1/100

12. Use a trigonometric ratio to find the measure of O in the triangle below. Give your answer to the nearest degree.
larisa [96]

<u>G</u><u>iven </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • A right angled triangle with two sides 10cm and 9cm .

<u>To </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • The value of theta .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

At angle theta , 9cm side will be considered as the perpendicular and 10cm side will be hypotenuse . So , as we know that ;

\longrightarrow sin\theta =\dfrac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}

Substituting the respective values,

\longrightarrow sin\theta =\dfrac{9cm}{10cm}

Simplify,

\longrightarrow sin\theta= 0.9

Take arcsin both sides ,

\longrightarrow \theta =sin^{-1}(0.9)

\\\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{\theta = 64.15^o }}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> required</u><u> answer</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>6</u><u>4</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>.</u><u> </u>
