Answer:
a) -8/9
b) The series is a convergent series
c) 1/17
Step-by-step explanation:
The series a+ar+ar²+ar³⋯ =∑ar^(n−1) is called a geometric series, and r is called the common ratio.
If −1<r<1, the geometric series is convergent and its sum is expressed as ∑ar^(n−1) = a/1-r
a is the first tern of the series.
a) Rewriting the series ∑(-8)^(n−1)/9^n given in the form ∑ar^(n−1) we have;
∑(-8)^(n−1)/9^n
= ∑(-8)^(n−1)/9•(9)^n-1
= ∑1/9 • (-8/9)^(n−1)
From the series gotten, it can be seen in comparison that a = 1/9 and r = -8/9
The common ratio r = -8/9
b) Remember that for the series to be convergent, -1<r<1 i.e r must be less than 1 and since our common ratio which is -8/9 is less than 1, this implies that the series is convergent.
c) Since the sun of the series tends to infinity, we will use the formula for finding the sum to infinity of a geometric series.
S∞ = a/1-r
Given a = 1/9 and r = -8/9
S∞ = (1/9)/1-(-8/9)
S∞ = (1/9)/1+8/9
S∞ = (1/9)/17/9
S∞ = 1/9×9/17
S∞ = 1/17
The sum of the geometric series is 1/17
Answer:
103 and 68
Step-by-step explanation:
since the difference has to be 35 subtract 35 from 171 (equals 136) then divide it by 2, you get 68 which is your first number, then add 35 back and get 103 for the second number, I hope this helped
Answer:
226 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
It’s literally a rectangular prism If you put it together. The side with 2 cm and 11 cm , the surface area is 22 and since this is a rectangular prism, that means there is a second of the same kind. Then you get the larges box, since you know that the top side is 11 and the left side is 7, you multiply that * 2 which you then get 154. You add that up with the side that you solved before so 154 + 44 = 198. You then figure out the left side 7 * 2 * 2 (because there are two of them). 28 + 198 = 226 cm^2.
Answer: tangent
Step-by-step explanation: from the diagram the adjacent and the opposite are given. From SOHCAHTOA , tan is the only trig ratio with opposite and adjacent.
Thus tan teta= opposite÷adjacent
tan teta= 3÷6= 0.5
teta=tan invers of 0.5
=26.6°
