Answer:

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the summation from n = 1 to n = ∞, for:

∑ 3/(2)^(n - 1)

We know that the summation between k = 0, and k = N - 1 for:

∑ r^k = (1 - r^N)/(1 - r)

if we have the summation between k = 0 and k = ∞ - 1 = ∞

(here we used that ∞ is really big, then ∞ - 1 = ∞)

In the numerator we will have the term r^∞, if 0 < r < 1, then r^∞ = 0.

Then if we assume that 0 < r < 1 we can write:

∑ r^k =  1/(1 - r)

In our case, we can rewrite our summation as:

3*∑ (1/2)^n

for n = 0 to  n = ∞

You can see that i changed the limits for n, this does not really matter because we are summing between a number and infinity, the only thing you need to take care is that now the power is n, instead of (n - 1)

Then we have r = (1/2) which is clearly smaller than 1.

then (1/2)

Then this summation is equal to:

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 3*( 1/(1 - 1/2)) = 3*( 1/( 2/2 - 1/2)) = 3*( 1/(1/2)) = 3*2 = 6

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 6

Solve for p.
Marat540 [252]
Hi there

3(p + q) = q
Solve for P

Use the distributive property
(3)(p) + (3)(q) = q
3p + 3q = q
3p = q-3q
3p = -2q
p = -2q/3

The answer is D

nikitadnepr [17]
Since there are 9 hockey cards per page and it holds 900 hockey cards you can multiply 9 by 68 to get the total of 612 hockey cards. Then take 900 and subtract 612 from it and you should get 288 hockey cards in the album. Then divide that number by 9 to get the total number of pages filled 288/9=32 pages filled
