Answer:

The series is convergent answer ⇒ (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

* The series is -8/5 + 32/25 + -128/125 + ........

- It is a geometric series with:

- first term a = -8/5 and common ratio r = 32/25 ÷ -8/5 = -4/5

* The difference between the convergent and divergent

  in the geometric series is :

- If the geometric series is given by  sum  = a + a r + a r² + a r³ + ...

* Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio

* If |r| < 1 then the following geometric series converges to a / (1 - r).  

- Where a/1 - r is the sum to infinity

* The proof is:

∵ S = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) ⇒ when IrI < 1 and n very large number

∴ r^n approach to zero

∴ S = a(1 - 0)/(1 - r) = a/(1 - r)

∴ S∞ = a/1 - r

* If |r| ≥ 1 then the above geometric series diverges

∵ r = -4/5

∴ IrI = 4/5

∴ IrI < 1

∴ The series is convergent

Write the following quadratic expression in standard form: ( 2 x − 1 ) ( 3 x − 1 )
jeka94

Answer:

<em>6</em>x^{2}<em> - 5</em>x<em> + 1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is: ax^{2} +bx+x

To reach that you have to distribute:

(2x - 1) (3x - 1)

2x (3x - 1) = 6x^{2} - 2x

-1 (3x - 1) = -3x + 1

Combine like terms:

6x^{2} - 5x + 1

A store is having a 20 percent off sale on all merchandise. If Mai buys one item and saves $13, what was the original price of h
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Percentage discount = 20%

Equivalent amount saved = $13

Let the original price of the product be x

To get x;

20% of x  = 13

0.2x =  13

0.2x  = -13

0.2 = 13

x = 13/0.2

x = $65

Hence the original price of the product is $65
