Determine whether the geometric series 27 + 18 + 12 + 8 + ... converges or diverges, and identify the sum if it exists.

Ne4ueva [31]

The given geometric series as shown in the question is seen to; Be converging with its' sum as 81

<h3>How to identify a converging or diverging series?</h3>

We are given the geometric series;

27 + 18 + 12 + 8 + ...

Now, we see that;

First term; a₀ = 27

Second Term; a₁ = 2(27/3)

Third term; a₂ = 2²(27/3²)

Fourth term; a₃ = 2³(27/3³)

Thus, the formula is;

2ⁿ(27/3ⁿ)

Applying limits at infinity gives;

2^(∞) * (27/3^(∞)) = 0

Since the terms of the series tend to zero, we can affirm that the series converges.

The sum of an infinite converging series is:

S_n = a/(1 - r)

S_n = 27/(1 - (2/3)

S_n = 81

A $50.00 pair of shoes is discounted 20%. If sales tax is 8%, what is the amount of tax paid?

sleet_krkn [62]

Since sales tax goes after the discount, it would be 3 dollars and 20 cents. Taking 50 dollars and 20% is discounted (50*.2), which would be 10 dollars taken off. It would be 40 dollars shoes and then you apply sales tax by multiplying 40 by .08, giving you the amount of tax paid.

In a doctor's waiting room, there are 14 seats in a row. Eight people are waiting to be seated. Three of the 8 are in one family

lianna [129]

There are 14 chairs and 8 people to be seated. But among the 8. three will be seated together:

So 5 people and (3) could be considered as 6 entities:

Since the order matters, we have to use permutation:

¹⁴P₆ = (14!)/(14-6)! = 2,162,160, But the family composed of 3 people can permute among them in 3! ways or 6 ways. So the total number of permutation will be ¹⁴P₆ x 3!

2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960 ways.

Another way to solve this problem is as follow:

5 + (3) people are considered (for the time being) as 6 entities:

The 1st has a choice among 14 ways
The 2nd has a choice among 13 ways
The 3rd has a choice among 12 ways
The 4th has a choice among 11 ways
The 5th has a choice among 10 ways
The 6th has a choice among 9ways

So far there are 14x13x12x11x10x9 = 2,162,160 ways
But the 3 (that formed one group) could seat among themselves in 3!
or 6 ways:

Total number of permutation = 2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960

The side of one square is equal to 3m and its diagonal is equal to the side of a second square. Find the diagonal of the second

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

6m

Step-by-step explanation:

the side of first square = 3 m

area of first square = 3^2= 9 m^2

let the side of second square = x m

since diagonal of first square = x m as per the question

in a square each angle is 90 degree

therefore by applying pythagorus theorem ,

diagonal ^2 = side^2 + side ^2

diagonal^2 = 3^2+3^2=9+9

DIAGONAL= square root of 18

diagonal= 3 $\sqrt{2}$ m = side of second square

therefore in second square ,

one angle is 90 degree , therefore by applying pythagorue theorem

diaqonal^2 = side ^2 + side ^2 = (3 $\sqrt{2}$ )^2 + ( 3 $\sqrt{2}$ )^2

diagonal ^2 = 18 + 18

diagonal = square root of 36

therefore diagonal of second square is 6m

hope it helps you... please mark me as the brainliest..
