I'll do problem 13 to get you started.

The expression 4\left(\frac{2^n}{7^n}\right) is the same as 4\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^n

Then we can do a bit of algebra like so to change that n into n-1

4\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^n\\\\4\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^n*1\\\\4\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^n*\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{0}\\\\4\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^n*\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{1-1}\\\\4\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^n*\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{1}*\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{-1}\\\\4*\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{1}\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^n*\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{-1}\\\\\frac{8}{7}\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{n-1}\\\\

This is so we can get the expression in a(r)^(n-1) form

  • a = 8/7 is the first term of the geometric sequence
  • r = 2/7 is the common ratio

Note that -1 < 2/7 < 1, which satisfies the condition that -1 < r < 1. This means the infinite sum converges to some single finite value (rather than diverge to positive or negative infinity).

We'll plug those a and r values into the infinite geometric sum formula below

S = a/(1-r)

S = (8/7)/(1 - 2/7)

S = (8/7)/(5/7)

S = (8/7)*(7/5)

S = 8/5

S = 1.6

------------------------

Answer in fraction form = 8/5

Answer in decimal form = 1.6

If Anita has read 55 of the 245 pages in her book, what percent of the book has she read?
givi [52]

Answer:

22.45%

To two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

A book has 245 pages and she has only read 55 of the pages. To get the percentage:

55/245 and then multiply it by 100.

55/245

=O.2245 (To four decimal places)

0.2245 x 100

22.45% (To two decimal places)

She has only read 22.45% of the book. To convert it to a whole number, that's 22% of the book has been read
