Answer:

The total nuber of hours that the battery can be used over its lifetime is 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use an infinite geometric series to solve this question.

The sum of all values of an infinite geometric series is given by the following equation:

S = \frac{a_{1}}{1 - r}

In which a_{1} is the first term and r is the common ratio.

After each charging, a battery is able to hold only 97% of the charge from the previous charging.

This means that r = 0.97

The battery was used for 18 hours on its first charge before it had to be recharged.

This means that a_{1} = 18

What is the total number of hours the battery can be used over its lifetime?

S = \frac{18}{1 - 0.97} = 600

The total nuber of hours that the battery can be used over its lifetime is 600.
