Identify whether the series sigma notation infinity i=1 15(4)^i-1 is a convergent or divergent geometric series and find the sum

const2013 [10]

Answer: The correct option is

(d) This is a divergent geometric series. The sum cannot be found.

Step-by-step explanation: The given infinite geometric series is

$S=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}15(4)^{i-1}.$

We are to identify whether the given geometric series is convergent or divergent. If convergent, we are to find the sum of the series.

We have the D' Alembert's ratio test, states as follows:

Let, $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i$ is an infinite series, with complex coefficients $a_i$ and we consider the following limit:

$L=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}.$

Then, the series will be convergent if L < 1 and divergent if L > 1.

For the given series, we have

$a_i=15(4)^{i-1},\\\\a_{i+1}=15(4)^i.$

So, the limit is given by

$L\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i-1}}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i}4^{-1}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4^{-1}}\\\\=4>1.$

Therefore, L >1, and so the given series is divergent and hence we cannot find the sum.

Thuds, (d) is the correct option.

− 96 , 48 , − 24 , 12 , − 6 . what is the ratio of the geometric sequece

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

it has to be a negative number since

every other number is negative

its a fraction since the numbers are decreasing

96 divided by 48 is 2

so the number being multiplied or ration must be -1/2

(100 points) Give a step by step explanation on how you solved this problem

Lina20 [59]

Use substitution
Given both y values, you know that they have to be equal

3x + 3 = x - 1
2x + 3 = -1
2x = -4, divide by 2
x = -2
Now plug x value into any of the equation to find y value
y = 3(-2) + 3
y = -6 + 3, y = -3

Solution: x = -2, y = -3
