Answer:
a) This expression is simply the average of both of their hours for a full year.
b) Honestly, I'm not sure, but mathematically, its , so the hours cancel out and you get the ratio of their yearly hours? Idek
c) a/12 would be the number of hours Arjun worked per month since there are 12 months in a year.
d) This one is a difference between Arjun's hourly wage to Beth's hourly wage. So, it represents how much more Arjun would have made (Arjun's hourly wage) in comparison to Beth, or vice versa (depending on who worked more hours).
c) Similar to a), this is an average of their yearly income.
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
