B and C are absurd; if a series converges, it must have a sum, but if a series diverges, it cannot have a sum.
Now, notice that

That is, we can write the sum more compactly as

The series is geometric with common ratio

, so the series converges (and thereby has a sum), so the answer is D.
The blank is -8 because -6 +-8=-14+-3=-17.
Answer:
C im pretty sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the square taken out has a 4x4 area which is 16 and the area of the whole square used to be 14x14 which is 196 and if u subtract 16 from that you get 180
(3p, x+4) Is what I'm gonna go for.
