This is a geometric sequence as each term is a constant ratio of the previous term, called the common ratio...

2a^2b/2a=(2a^3b^2)/(2a^2b)=ab and the first term is 2a

So the rule is:

a(n)=2a(ab)^(n-1)

a(6)=2a(ab)^5=2a^6(b^5)

We cannot know for sure if this series is infinite or not.  It would depend on what the values of a and b were.

If EITHER a^2 or b^2 is less than one the series would be finite (and technically a sequence and not a series),and a sum could be found.  If a^2 AND b^2 are greater than one it is an infinite series whos sum diverges....

The sequence is infinite  because  the exponents   2 ,3 ,4 ,... go on infinitely.

That next number in the equence is obtained by multiplying each term by ab.

the sixth term is   2a^(6)b^(5)

Write the area A of a square as a function of its perimeter P. ...?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The answer is A = P²/16

The perimeter P of a square is sum of its sides s: P = s + s + s + s = 4s
The area A of a square with side s is: A = s * s  = s²

Step 1: Solve s from the formula for the perimeter.
Step 2: substitute s from the formula for the perimeter into the formula for the area.

Step 1:
P = 4s
s = P/4

Step 2:
A = s²
s = P/4
A = (P/4)²
A = P²/4²
A = P²/16
