(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9
x² + 4x - 12x - 48 = 9
x² - 8x - 48 = 9    |add 48 to both sides
x² - 8x = 57
x² - 2x · 4 = 57    |add 4² to both sides
x² - 2x · 4 + 4² = 57 + 4²    |use (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
(x - 4)² = 57 + 16
(x - 4)² = 73 ⇔ x - 4 = √73 or x - 4 = -√73    |add 4 to both sides

x = 4 + √73 or x = 4 - √73

Which infinite geometric series can you NOT find the sum?
Oksanka [162]

Answer: C) 127, 152.4, 182.88, 219.456,...

Step-by-step explanation:

You can only find the sum of an infinite geometric sequence if it converges.

One criterion to see if the series converges is if:

aₙ < aₙ₋₁

This means that, as n increases, the value of the terms decreases.

This means that as n tends to infinity, aₙ tends to zero.

Then we only can find the sum of those series where the terms are decreasing.

in A, B and D the terms are decreasing, then we can find the sum of those 3 series.

Now in the case of C, the terms are increasing, then we can not find the sum of that series.
