Answer:

S 5 = StartFraction one-third (1 minus (two-thirds) Superscript 5 Baseline) Over (1 minus two-thirds) EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric series:

1/3+2/9+4/27+8/81+16/243

First we must know that the series is a finite series with just 5terms.

Before we can know the formula to calculate sum of the first five terms of the series, we must determine its common ratio (r) first.

r = (2/9)÷1/3 = 4/27÷2/9= 8/81÷4/27

r = 2/9 × 3/1

r = 2/3

Similarly;

r = 4/27×9/2

r = 2/3

Since all values of r is the as them the common ratio is 2/3.

If r< 1 in geometric series, then the formula for finding its sum is applicable

Sn = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r

a is the first term = 1/3

r is the common ratio = 2/3

n is the number of terms = 5

Substituting the values in the formula we have:

S5 = 1/3{1-(2/3)^5}/1-2/3

This gives the requires equation

S 5 = StartFraction one-third (1 minus (two-thirds) Superscript 5 Baseline) Over (1 minus two-thirds) EndFraction

How many solutions does the equation −2y + 2y + 3 = 3 have? One Zero Infinitely many Three
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation −2y + 2y + 3 = 3  we see only one variable, and that variable is of the first power.  Ordinarily, we'd say that this equation will have 1 solution.  However, if we combine like terms, we get 0 + 3 = 3, or 0 = 0, which is true for any and all y values.  Infinitely many solutions.
