The sum of an infinite geometric series is three times the first term. Find the common ratio of this series.

Answer:

\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an  infinite geometric series is expressed according to the formula;

S_\infty = \dfrac{a}{1-r} where;

a is the first term of the series

r is the common ratio

If the sum of an infinite geometric series is three times the first term, this is expressed as S_\infty = 3a

Substitute S_\infty = 3a into the formula above to get the common ratio r;

3a = \dfrac{a}{1-r} \\\\

cross \ multiply\\\\3a(1-r) = a\\\\3(1-r) = 1\\

open the parenthesis

3 - 3r = 1\\\\

subtract 3 from both sides

3 - 3r -3= 1-3\\\\-3r = -2\\\\r = \frac{2}{3}

<em>Hence the common ratio of this series is </em>\frac{2}{3}<em></em>

d) You have a <u>difference of squares</u>:

49y² - 9 = (7y)² - 3²

Recall the identity,

a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b)

So,

49y² - 9 = (7y - 3) (7y + 3)

e) Pull out the common factor 3 from each term:

3x² - 3x - 90 = 3 (x² - x - 30)

Now use the <u>sum-product method</u>. Notice that we can write 30 = 5 • 6, and 5 - 6 = 1, so

3x² - 3x - 90 = 3 (x + 5) (x - 6)

f) Same as in (e), use the <u>sum-product method</u>. Notice that 42 = 7 • 6, and -7 - 6 = -13, so

x² - 13x + 42 = (x - 7) (x - 6)

Hello there! The answer is the first option, 31/55.

To solve this, we don't even need to do any math. Note that fractions with the same numerator and denominator will be equal to 1.

Knowing this and looking at our second and fourth options, 55/55 x 111 and 31/31 x 111, these problems are the same as 1 x 111, which results in 111, which is not less than, leaving us with the third and first options.

The third option is 55/31, meaning we have more than a whole, so we are multiplying by a number greater than 1, making our answer over 111 and this option not correct.

This leaves the first option as your answer!

Alexandra paid \$7$7dollar sign, 7 to park her car for 333 hours at the parking garage. The garage charges an hourly parking rat
NeX [460]
Assuming that the fee is purely based on duration, the equation would look like this:
c= a*p
where c= cost, a= rates per hour, p= hours of parking

Alexandra pays 7$ for 3 hours parking. So, a would be:
c= a*p
7$= a * 3 hr
a= 7$/3hr

Then the final equation would be: 
c= (7/3) *p
