Which of the following geometric series converges?

Mathematics

Artist 52 [7]3 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

The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown below what is the volume of the prism in cubic feet
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

B. 192.5 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a triangle prism, multiply the base, height, and length together, and then divide it by 2 (or multiply that by 0.5).

(5 * 7 * 11)/2

Multiply 5 by 7 to get 35.

(35 * 11)/2

Multiply 35 by 11 to get 385.

385/2

192.5 ft³ is the volume of this triangluar prism.
