Answer:

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = 15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum you are trying to understand is this.

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n}

Remember that in general when you have a geometric series  

\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n you have that

\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n = \frac{a}{1-r}      and that equality is true as long as     |r| < 1.

Therefore here we have

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{3*5} \big)^n = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n        and   \big|\frac{-1}{15} \big| = \frac{1}{15} < 1

Therefore we can use the formula and

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n =  \frac{2}{1-(-1/15)} = \frac{2}{1+1/15} = 30/16  = 15/8

Find the surface area. PLEASE HELP!!!!!​
jonny [76]
Since it is a cube, all sides lengths are the same.

Surface area = 2lw+2lw+2hw
if you substitute all the sides for 13 you get
2(169) three times
so you multiply and get 338 three times so you do 338x3 which is 1014 cm

its messy to explain so i attached a photo
