we know that
1) Lily swims a -meter race
2) She swims the first half in seconds
3) She swims the second half in seconds
so
To find the total time to swim the whole race sum the time in the first half plus the time in second half
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
The Correct choice is :
C.) x <u>></u> 0
All three series converge, so the answer is D.
The common ratios for each sequence are (I) -1/9, (II) -1/10, and (III) -1/3.
Consider a geometric sequence with the first term <em>a</em> and common ratio |<em>r</em>| < 1. Then the <em>n</em>-th partial sum (the sum of the first <em>n</em> terms) of the sequence is
Multiply both sides by <em>r</em> :
Subtract the latter sum from the first, which eliminates all but the first and last terms:
Solve for :
Then as gets arbitrarily large, the term will converge to 0, leaving us with
So the given series converge to
(I) -243/(1 + 1/9) = -2187/10
(II) -1.1/(1 + 1/10) = -1
(III) 27/(1 + 1/3) = 18
