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

Please help and thank you​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2)  

x + 14 \frac{13}{25}  =  -0.87

x + \frac{363}{25} = - \frac{87}{100}

x + \frac{1452}{100} = - \frac{87}{100}

x  = - \frac{87}{100} - \frac{1452}{100}

x = - \frac{1539}{100}

3)

x -8 \frac{5}{6} = 1.5

x - \frac{53}{6} = \frac{9}{6}

x =  \frac{9}{6} + \frac{53}{6}

x = \frac{62}{6}

x = \frac{31}{3}

4)

x - \frac{7}{12} = - 7 \frac{7}{16}

x - \frac{28}{48} = - \frac{119}{16}

x = - \frac{357}{48} + \frac{28}{48}

x = - \frac{329}{48}

5)

\frac{8}{9} - x = 6 \frac{1}{15}

\frac{8}{9}  = \frac{91}{15} + x

\frac{40}{45} - \frac{273}{45} = x

- \frac{233}{45} = x

x = - \frac{233}{45}

6)

-33.754 - x = 28.05

-33.754  - 28.05 = x

- 61.804 = x

x = - 61.804

At a sale, coats were sold for $184 each. If the coats originally cost $200 each, what percentage of its original price was a co
Serggg [28]

Answer:

92%

Step-by-step explanation:

sale price is 184.

original price was 200.

184/200 = 0.92

Multiply by 100 to change to a percent.

0.92 × 100 = 92

184 is 92% of 200.

The coat was sold for 92% of its original price.
