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 ±∞

PLEASEE HEEELPPPP!!!

Practice proportionality. A 50 difference between 100 and 150 is less relevant than 50 in 25 and 75. Its like you have 1 billion dollars and i give you 10 dollars. Its worthless right? What if you have 20 dollars and i give you again 10 dollars, its half of what you have. See the difference? Same number but different value.

what is the solution of the system of equations? y = –2x 8 y = x – 4 a. (–1.33, –5.33) b. (4, 0) c. (0, 4) d. (–12, 32)
IRISSAK [1]
Y = -2x + 8 = x - 4
x + 2x = 8 + 4
3x = 12
x = 4
y = -2(4) + 8 = -8 + 8 = 0
Solution is (4, 0)

Find the coordinates of the points of intersection of the graph of y=13−x with the axes and compute the area of the right triang
Ymorist [56]

the coordinates of the points of intersection of the graph of y=13−x with the axes

Given equation is y=13-x

x axis is x=0

y axis is y=0

Plug in the value of x =0 and find out y

y = 13 - x

y = 13 - 0 = 13

Plug in the value of y=0 and find out x

0 = 13 - x

x= 13

So coordinate axis

x= (13,0)

y= (0,13)

Base of the triangle is x=13

Height of the triangle is y= 13

Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2} * base * height

= \frac{1}{2} * 13 * 13 = 84.5

Area of the triangle = 84.5
