There is no sum for this geometric series. it diverges rather than converges due to the absolute value of the common ratio (r), which is -3, being 3. for a geometric series to have a sum (to converge), the absolute value of r must be less than 1.
(you find r by dividing a2/a1, a3/a2, etc.)
hope this helps
Answer:
It will take Winston 11 seconds to hop 44 meters and catch up to Tina
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation where x represents the number of seconds:
Tina will be represented by s + 33 since she goes 1 m/sec and she has a 33 meter head start, and Winston will be 4s. We need to find when Winston will catch up, so we need an equal sign.
s + 33 = 4s
Solve for s:
s + 33 = 4s
33 = 3s
11 = s
= 11 seconds
Then, plug in 11 as s to find how many meters he will go:
s + 33
11 + 33 = 44
= 44 meters
Answer:
10th term of the sequence = 0.537
Step-by-step explanation:
First three terms of the sequence are → 5, 4,
..........
Ratio of 2nd and 1st term of the sequence = 
Ratio of 3rd and 2nd term of the sequence = 
= 
Therefore, ratio between every successive term to the previous term is common.
Common ratio 'r' = 
First term of the sequence 'a' = 5
nth term of a geometric sequence = 
Therefore, nth term of the given term will be 
Now we have to find the 10 term of the given sequence.
For n = 10,

= 0.53687
≈ 0.537
Therefore, 10th term of the sequence is 0.537
