Answer:
Ms. Kang is incorrect because there is only one solution to that equation and that is b=5/3
Answer:
d. converges, -25
Step-by-step explanation:
An infinite geometric series converges if the absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1.
Here, the common ratio is 4/5:
| 4/5 | = 4/5 < 1
So the series converges. The sum of an infinite geometric series is:
S = a₁ / (1 − r)
where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Here, a₁ = -5 and r = 4/5:
S = -5 / (1 − 4/5)
S = -25
Multiply 2 2/4 by 5/8.
First, simplify 2 2/4 to 2 1/2.
Then, convert to improper form (5/2).
5/2 x 5/8 = 25/16
answer: 1 9/16 gallons of water
