Answer:

a. First four terms of the sequential partial sums

S_1=\frac{1}{7}, S_2=\frac{7^2-1}{6*7^2}, S_3 =\frac{7^3-1}{6*7^3}, S_4 =\frac{7^4-1}{6*7^4}

b. The formula for Sn is option A = \frac{7^n-1}{6*7^n}

c. Value of the series = \frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

a. First four terms of the sequential partial sums

\sum^{\infty}_{k=1}\\S_1=\frac{1}{7}\\ S_2=\frac{1}{7}+ \frac{1}{7^2}= \frac{8}{49} =\frac{7^2-1}{6*7^2}\\S_3=\frac{1}{7}+ \frac{1}{7^2}+\frac{1}{7^3} = \frac{57}{343} =\frac{7^3-1}{6*7^3}\\S_4=\frac{1}{7}+ \frac{1}{7^2}+\frac{1}{7^3}+\frac{1}{7^4} = \frac{400}{2401} =\frac{7^4-1}{6*7^4}

b. Formula for Sn

The sum of n terms

S_n=\frac{1}{7}+ \frac{1}{7^2}+\frac{1}{7^3}+ \frac{1}{7^4}+.....+ \frac{1}{7^n}= \frac{7^n-1}{6*7^n}

c. Value for the series

This can be given as the Sum of infinite terms;

S_{\infty}=\frac{1}{7}+ \frac{1}{7^2}+ \frac{1}{7^3}+ \frac{1}{7^4}+....+ \frac{1}{7^n}+ ....=  \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{7^n-1}{6*7^n}= \frac{1}{6}

Answer:

27 \:  {km}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the shape of a trapezoid.

Therefore,

Area of the trapezoid

=  \frac{1}{2} (2 + 7) \times 6 \\  \\  = 9 \times 3 \\  \\  = 27 \:  {km}^{2}
