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
It is rational because it is a terminating decimal. It can be represented as a ratio of two integers (121/10)
Answer:
slope = -9/2
Explanation:
The form of the slope-intercept equation is:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
The given is:
y = -9/2 x
Comparing the given with the general form, we will find that:
m is the slope = -9/2
c is the y-intercept = 0
Hope this helps :)
y = -9/2
Answer:
$3100
Step-by-step explanation:
You can determine this by multiplying 52 by 50, because you get 50 dollars for 52 weeks, then add 500 to it, because you get 500 dollars at first. 52 times 50 is equal to 2600, and 2600 + 500 is equal to 3100. You will receive $3100 over the course of 52 weeks.
|x - 3| - 1 = 5
x - 3 - 1 = 5
x - 4 = 5
x = 9
-(x - 3) - 1 = 5
-x + 3 - 1 = 5
-x + 2 = 5
-x = 3
x = - 3
x = -3 , 9 matched the answers on the number line
Answer is B) |x - 3| - 1 = 5
