Answer:

S20 ≈ 4.942

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a geometric series is expressed as Sn = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r if r<1

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

Given the geometric series

1 + 0.8 + 0.8^2 +0.8^3 + ... + 0.8^{19}

Given a = 1,

r = 0.8/1 = 0.8²/0.8 = 0.8

n = 20 (The total number of terms in the series is 20)

Substituting this values in the formula above.

S20 = 1(1-0.8^20)/1-0.8

S20 = 1-0.01153/0.2

S20 = 0.9885/0.2

S20 ≈ 4.942

Answer:

the handle will end up on the left side

Step-by-step explanation:

The cup is rotated 180 degrees clockwise. Therefore, I assume the rotation is about the center of the bottom of the cup. Also, only the cup is rotated, not the saucer (although this makes no difference in this problem).

The result is that the handle will end up on the left side. The cup will still be right side up.
