Answer:
28.2
Step-by-step explanation:
7.2 + 7.3 + 6.9 + 6.8 = 28.2
All three series converge, so the answer is D.
The common ratios for each sequence are (I) -1/9, (II) -1/10, and (III) -1/3.
Consider a geometric sequence with the first term <em>a</em> and common ratio |<em>r</em>| < 1. Then the <em>n</em>-th partial sum (the sum of the first <em>n</em> terms) of the sequence is

Multiply both sides by <em>r</em> :

Subtract the latter sum from the first, which eliminates all but the first and last terms:

Solve for
:

Then as gets arbitrarily large, the term
will converge to 0, leaving us with

So the given series converge to
(I) -243/(1 + 1/9) = -2187/10
(II) -1.1/(1 + 1/10) = -1
(III) 27/(1 + 1/3) = 18
Answer:
10.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we have two similar triangles:
- One consists of the mailbox, its shadow and the hypothenuse
- The other one consists of the tree, its shadow and the hypothenuse
The two triangles are similar, so they have same proportions between their sides: therefore, we can apply the rule of three:

where
m = 36 in is the height of the mailbox
is the shadow of the mailbox
t is the height of the tree
is the length of the shadow of the tree
Solving for t, we find the height of the tree:

And since
1 feet = 12 inches
The height of the tree in feet is
