Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometrical series

∑ [infinity] n=2 (− 2) n−1

I think the correct series should be the sum from n = 2 to ∞ of (-2)^n-1

So,

∑(-2)^(n-1)...... From n = 2 to ∞

A. The first four terms

When n = 2

(-2)^(2-1) = (-2)^1 = -2

When n = 3

(-2)^(3-1) = (-2)^2 = 4

When n = 4

(-2)^(4-1) = (-2)^3 = -8

When n = 5

(-2)^(5-1) = (-2)^4 = 16

B. The series will diverge since the common ratio is not between 0 and 1

So, let use limit test

Lim as n →∞ (-2)^(n-1) = (-2)^∞ = ±∞

Since the limit is infinite, then the series diverges

C. Since her series diverges we can find the sum, the sum is infinite, so it will sum up to ±∞

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify  \frac{4}{5}G

​5

​

​4

​​ G  to  \frac{4G}{5}

​5

​

​4G

​​ .

\frac{4G}{5}+42=2.8G+18

​5

​

​4G

​​ +42=2.8G+18

Multiply both sides by 5.

4g + 210 = 14g + 90

Simplify  

 14G + 90 - 4G to 10G + 90

Subtract 90 from both sides.

210-90=10G210−90=10G

Simplify  210-90210−90  to  120120.

120=10G120=10G

Divide both sides by 1010.

\frac{120}{10}=G

Simplify  \frac{120}{10}

​120

​​   to  1212.

12=G12=G

Switch sides.

G=12G=12

Math question down below
Kipish [7]
Answer: 6928

----------------------------------------------------------

Explanation: 

We have two areas we need to find: The area of the trapezoid and the area of the rectangle. Let's call these areas A1 and A2.

Area of Trapezoid = (height)*(base1+base2)/2
A1 = h*(b1+b2)/2
A1 = 80*(150+100)/2
A1 = 80*250/2
A1 = 20000
A1 = 10000

Area of Rectangle = (length)*(width)
A2 = L*W
A2 = 48*64
A2 = 3072

Subtract the two areas (A1-A2) to get the difference D
D = A1 - A2
D = 10000 - 3072
D = 6928

This difference D is exactly equal to the shaded area.
