Answer:

The answer is: m = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope m = (y - y1)/(x - x1]

Replace the variables with the points given:

m = (2 - 5)/(1 - 3)

m = -3/-2

m = 3/2

Find the sum of the convergent series 7 0.7 0.007

mafiozo [28]

$7+0.7+0.007+\cdots=7\left(1+\dfrac1{10}+\dfrac1{100}+\cdots\right)$

Let $S_n$ denote the $n$ th partial sum of the series, i.e.

$S_n=1+\dfrac1{10}+\dfrac1{100}+\cdots+\dfrac1{100^n}$

Then

$\dfrac1{10}S_n=\dfrac1{10}+\dfrac1{100}+\dfrac1{1000}+\dfrac1{10^{n+1}}$

and subtracting from $S_n$ we get

$S_n-\dfrac1{10}S_n=\dfrac9{10}S_n=1-\dfrac1{10^{n+1}}$
$\implies S_n=\dfrac{10}9\left(1-\dfrac1{10^{n+1}}\right)$

As $n\to\infty$ , the exponential term vanishes, leaving us with

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\dfrac{10}9$

and so

$7+0.7+0.007+\cdots=7.777\ldots=\dfrac{70}9$
