Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5
zaharov [31]

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}} or \displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}

Therefore, the solution is 31.

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as \displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n} meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:

\displaystyle \large{r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}}

Once knowing which sequence or series is it, apply an appropriate formula for the series. For geometric series, apply the following three formulas:

\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio not equal to 1.

\displaystyle \large{S_n=a_1 \cdot n}

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio exactly equal to 1.

The total cost of attending a state university is $19,700 for the first year. • A student's grandparents will pay half of this c
Temka [501]

Answer:

The student will have to save $404.2 minimum monthly

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total cost for the first year= $19,700

The grandparents paid half the amount = 1/2(19700)= $9850

The remaining balance to be paid is

19,700 - 9850=$9850

If an athlete paid $5000

The the remaining balance to be paid = 9850-5000=$4850

For the student to clear this amount in 12 months he must save

monthly 4850/12= $404.166

Hence the minimum amount to be saved per month is $404.2
