Let

where we assume |r| < 1. Multiplying on both sides by r gives

and subtracting this from
gives

As n → ∞, the exponential term will converge to 0, and the partial sums
will converge to

Now, we're given


We must have |r| < 1 since both sums converge, so


Solving for r by substitution, we have


Recalling the difference of squares identity, we have

We've already confirmed r ≠ 1, so we can simplify this to

It follows that

and so the sum we want is

which doesn't appear to be either of the given answer choices. Are you sure there isn't a typo somewhere?
the surface area of the above triangular prism is 156 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the sum of the triangle sides by the height of the prism and add the values together for the answer, remembering to include the correct unit of measurement.
Answer:
x^2 - 11x + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Foil the equation
x^2 - 3x - 8x + 24
x^2 - 11x + 24
Answer:
240 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Shannon bought 518 pounds of apples.
Bill bought 278 pounds of apples.
We need to find how many more pounds of apples Shannon bought than Bill.
More Apples = Shannon Apples - Bill Apples
= 518 - 278
= 240
Hence, 240 pounds of apples Shannon bought than Bill.
