The given geometric series as shown in the question is seen to; Be converging with its' sum as 81
<h3>How to identify a converging or diverging series?</h3>
We are given the geometric series;
27 + 18 + 12 + 8 + ...
Now, we see that;
First term; a₀ = 27
Second Term; a₁ = 2(27/3)
Third term; a₂ = 2²(27/3²)
Fourth term; a₃ = 2³(27/3³)
Thus, the formula is;
2ⁿ(27/3ⁿ)
Applying limits at infinity gives;
2^(∞) * (27/3^(∞)) = 0
Since the terms of the series tend to zero, we can affirm that the series converges.
The sum of an infinite converging series is:
S_n = a/(1 - r)
S_n = 27/(1 - (2/3)
S_n = 81

The first book can be any one of the 5.

The 3rd book can be any one of the remaining 3.

The 4th book can be either of the remaining 2.
For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.
Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is
(5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 120 .
Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with (120 - 2) = 118 ways.
steps:
total: 13 ppl
republicans: 4
1st person: 13-4/13 9/13
2nd person: 12-4/12 (because one person was taken out). 8/12
Hey there!
First, divide both sides by 12
-12(k+4)/-12= 60/-12 and you would getk+4=5
Now subtract 4 from both sides
k+4-4= 5-4
k=-9
The ratio of the shortest sides is 12/5. Multiplying the other two sides of the smaller triangle by that ratio gives 15 and 18, so the ratios of all sides are the same. The triangles are similar.

The largest/smallest scale factor is 12/5 = 2.4.
