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 ±∞

Distance Formula: \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} - y_{1})^2}

Point 1: (9,0)

Point 2: (5,-8)

D = sqrt[ (5 - 9)^2 + (-8 - 0)^2 ]

D = sqrt[ (-4)^2 + (-8)^2 ]

D = sqrt[ 16 + 64]

D = sqrt(80)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  f^-1(x) = x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of the function

  y = f(x)

solve the equation

  x = f(y)

for y.

Here, you want ...

  x = f(y)

  x = (y -6)

  x +6 = y . . . . . . add 6 to both sides

  \boxed{f^{-1}(x)=x+6}\\
