Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series with first term a1 and common ratio r (where |r| < 1) is ...
sum = a1/(1 -r)
Applying this to the given series, we get ...
a. sum = 5/(1 -3/4) = 5/(1/4) = 20
b. sum = d/(1 -1/t) = d/((t-1)/t) = dt/(t-1)
_____
The derivation of the above formula is in most texts on sequences and series. In general, you write an expression for the difference of the sum (S) and the product r·S. You find all terms of the series cancel except the first and last, and the last goes to zero in the limit, because r^∞ → 0 for |r| < 1. Hence you get ...
S -rS = a1
S = a1/(1 -r)
The answers are -16 and 9. Hopefully this helps :D
Answer:
3 * 20s
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find out how much Mr. Hartman will spend in total we first need to multiply the price of the keyboard and mouse by the number of computers in a single computer station. Once we have these products we add them together. Finally, we multiply this new value by 3 since there are a total of 3 computer stations. If we turn this into an expression it would be the following...
3 * (13.50s + 6.50s)
We can even simplify this by first adding the cost of the keyboard and mouse and then multiplying by s
3 * 20s
