Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given infinite geometric series</u>
- 1/4, 1/5, 4/25, 16/125, ...
<u>We see that</u>
<u>Sum of the series</u>
- S = a*1/(1 -r)
- S = 1/4*1/(1 - 4/5) = 1/4*1/(1/5) = 1/4*5 = 5/4
This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
