This infinite sum is given by
a
S = ------ but ONLY if r<1. Here, r>1, so the infinite sum does not exist.
1-r
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5+2/4 (find common denominator)
The common denominator is 20
2/5 is 8/20 (multiply by 4)
2/4 is 10/20 (multiply by 5)
8/20+10/20 is 18/20
If you simplify 18/20 this would by 9/10 if you divide by 2
so the total is 18/20 or 9/10 simplified
Hope this helps!!!!
Have a nice day :)
Fifty one is the answer to your question
Hey there!

We can first factor out the 4 (bring it outside the parenthesis)

Now have a closer look between the parenthesis, because this expression can be factored as well. We're looking for two different numbers with a product of -6 and a sum of 5. Hence, we find the numbers 6 and -1
