For every integer k from 1 to 10, inclusive the "k"th term of a certain sequence is given by (−1)(k+1)∗(12k). If T is the sum of

the first 10 terms in the sequence, then T isA. Greater than 2B. Between 1 and 2C. Between 1/2 and 1D. Between 1/4 and 1/2E. Less than 1/4

Answer:

Option D. is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question expression that represents the kth term of a certain sequence is not written properly.

The expression is (-1)^{k+1}(\frac{1}{2^{k}}).

We have to find the sum of first 10 terms of the infinite sequence represented by the expression given as (-1)^{k+1}(\frac{1}{2^{k}}).

where k is from 1 to 10.

By the given expression sequence will be \frac{1}{2},\frac{(-1)}{4},\frac{1}{8}.......

In this sequence first term "a" = \frac{1}{2}

and common ratio in each successive term to the previous term is 'r' = \frac{\frac{(-1)}{4}}{\frac{1}{2} }

r = -\frac{1}{2}

Since the sequence is infinite and the formula to calculate the sum is represented by

S=\frac{a}{1-r} [Here r is less than 1]

S=\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{1+\frac{1}{2}}

S=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{2} }

S = \frac{1}{3}

Now we are sure that the sum of infinite terms is \frac{1}{3}.

Therefore, sum of 10 terms will not exceed \frac{1}{3}

Now sum of first two terms = \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}

Now we are sure that sum of first 10 terms lie between \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{3}

Since \frac{1}{2}>\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, Sum of first 10 terms will lie between \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{2}.

Option D will be the answer.

X + 25/-8 = -6 Solve for x.<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is nothing missing, we have

x + 25/-8 = -6

in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).

remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here

-6 = -6/1

25/-8 = -25/8

so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?

by multiplying 1 by 8.

but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have

-6/8

and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.

to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).

so, we actually do

-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8

with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value

-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.

so, we have

x + -25/8 = -48/8

x - 25/8 = -48/8

x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8
