Geometric Sequence S = 1.0011892 + ... + 1.0012 + 1.001 + 1

leva [86]

Answer:

<em /> $S_{1893} =5632.98$ <em />

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct form of the question is:

$S = 1.001^{1892} + ... + 1.001^2 + 1.001 + 1$

Required

Solve for Sum of the sequence

The above sequence represents sum of Geometric Sequence and will be solved using:

$S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r}$

But first, we need to get the number of terms in the sequence using:

$T_n = ar^{n-1}$

Where

$a = First\ Term$

$a = 1.001^{1892}$

$r = common\ ratio$

$r = \frac{1}{1.001}$

$T_n = Last\ Term$

$T_n = 1$

So, we have:

$T_n = ar^{n-1}$

$1 = 1.001^{1892} * (\frac{1}{1.001})^{n-1}$

Apply law of indices:

$1 = 1.001^{1892} * (1.001^{-1})^{n-1}$

$1 = 1.001^{1892} * (1.001)^{-n+1}$

Apply law of indices:

$1 = 1.001^{1892-n+1}$

$1 = 1.001^{1892+1-n}$

$1 = 1.001^{1893-n}$

Represent 1 as $1.001^0$

$1.001^0 = 1.001^{1893-n}$

They have the same base:

So, we have

$0 = 1893-n$

Solve for n

$n = 1893$

So, there are 1893 terms in the sequence given.

Solving further:

$S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r}$

Where

$a = 1.001^{1892}$

$r = \frac{1}{1.001}$

$n = 1893$

So, we have:

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892} *(1 -\frac{1}{1.001}^{1893})}{1 -\frac{1}{1.001} }$

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892} *(1 -\frac{1}{1.001}^{1893})}{\frac{1.001 -1}{1.001} }$

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892} *(1 -\frac{1}{1.001}^{1893})}{\frac{0.001}{1.001} }$

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892} *(1 -\frac{1}{1.001^{1893}})}{\frac{0.001}{1.001} }$

Simplify the numerator

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892} -\frac{1.001^{1892}}{1.001^{1893}}}{\frac{0.001}{1.001} }$

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892} -1.001^{1892-1893}}{\frac{0.001}{1.001} }$

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892} -1.001^{-1}}{\frac{0.001}{1.001} }$

$S_{1893} =(1.001^{1892} -1.001^{-1})/({\frac{0.001}{1.001} })$

$S_{1893} =(1.001^{1892} -1.001^{-1})*{\frac{1.001}{0.001}}$

$S_{1893} =\frac{(1.001^{1892} -1.001^{-1}) * 1.001}{0.001}$

Open Bracket

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892}* 1.001 -1.001^{-1}* 1.001 }{0.001}$

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1892+1} -1.001^{-1+1}}{0.001}$

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1893} -1.001^{0}}{0.001}$

$S_{1893} =\frac{1.001^{1893} -1}{0.001}$

$S_{1893} =5632.97970294$

Hence, the sum of the sequence is:

<em /> $S_{1893} =5632.98$ <em> ----- approximated</em>

The equation d=11cos(8pi/5 t) models the horizontal distance, d, in inches of the pendulum of a grandfather clock from the cente

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The time it takes for the pendulum to swing from its rightmost position to its leftmost position and back again is 1.25 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$d = 11cos( \frac{8\pi}{5}*t)$ -----------Equation 1

where d, in inches of the pendulum of a grandfather clock from the center.

Comparing with the standard equation of an oscillating pendulum bob.

$d = Acos (wt + \alpha )$ ----------Equation 2

where ω = angular velocity

t = time taken

α = The angular displacement when t = 0

Comparing equation 1 and 2,

α = 0

$w =\frac{8\pi }{5}$

Recall that $w = 2\pi fTherefore,[tex]2\pi f = \frac{8\pi }{5} \\\\f = \frac{4}{5}$ [/tex]

f = 0.8 Hertz

Recall that $f = \frac{1}{T}$

$T = \frac{1}{0.8}$

T = 1.25 seconds

Therefore, the time it takes for the pendulum to swing from its rightmost position to its leftmost position and back again is 1.25 seconds.
