Which of the following geometric series converges?

Artist 52 [7]2 years ago

All three series converge, so the answer is D.

The common ratios for each sequence are (I) -1/9, (II) -1/10, and (III) -1/3.

Consider a geometric sequence with the first term <em>a</em> and common ratio |<em>r</em>| < 1. Then the <em>n</em>-th partial sum (the sum of the first <em>n</em> terms) of the sequence is

S_n=a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}

Multiply both sides by <em>r</em> :

rS_n=ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-1}+ar^n

Subtract the latter sum from the first, which eliminates all but the first and last terms:

S_n-rS_n=a-ar^n

Solve for S_n:

(1-r)S_n=a(1-r^n)\implies S_n=\dfrac a{1-r}-\dfrac{ar^n}{1-r}

Then as gets arbitrarily large, the term r^n will converge to 0, leaving us with

S=\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\frac a{1-r}

So the given series converge to

(I) -243/(1 + 1/9) = -2187/10

(II) -1.1/(1 + 1/10) = -1

(III) 27/(1 + 1/3) = 18

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

x -y =4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (1- -4)/(5 - 0)

    = (1+4)/(5-0)

   5/5

   = 1

Then we can use slope intercept form

The slope is 1 and the y intercept is -4

y = mx+b

y = 1x-4

We want it in standard form

Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer

Subtract x from each side

-x +y = -4

Multiply by -1

x -y =4
