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)

When x^3+kx^2-4x+2 is divided by x+2 the remainder is 26 find k?​
Llana [10]

Answer:

  k = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using synthetic division, we find the remainder from the division to be ...

  remainder = 4k+2

Then we need to find k such that ...

  4k +2 = 26

  4k = 24 . . . . subtract 2

  k = 6 . . . . . .  divide by 4

The value of k is 6.

Write an equation of the line, in point-slope form, that passes through the two given points.
EleoNora [17]
(-2,15)(9,-18)
slope = (-18 - 15) / (9 - (-2) = -33/11 = -3

There can be 2 answers to this question....
point slope form : y - y1 = m(x - x1)

(1) using points (-2,15)...
     y - 15 = -3(x + 2) <== one possible answer

(2) using points (9,-18)
     y + 18 = -3(x - 9) <== another possible answer
