Answer:
a) -8/9
b) The series is a convergent series
c) 1/17
Step-by-step explanation:
The series a+ar+ar²+ar³⋯ =∑ar^(n−1) is called a geometric series, and r is called the common ratio.
If −1<r<1, the geometric series is convergent and its sum is expressed as ∑ar^(n−1) = a/1-r
a is the first tern of the series.
a) Rewriting the series ∑(-8)^(n−1)/9^n given in the form ∑ar^(n−1) we have;
∑(-8)^(n−1)/9^n
= ∑(-8)^(n−1)/9•(9)^n-1
= ∑1/9 • (-8/9)^(n−1)
From the series gotten, it can be seen in comparison that a = 1/9 and r = -8/9
The common ratio r = -8/9
b) Remember that for the series to be convergent, -1<r<1 i.e r must be less than 1 and since our common ratio which is -8/9 is less than 1, this implies that the series is convergent.
c) Since the sun of the series tends to infinity, we will use the formula for finding the sum to infinity of a geometric series.
S∞ = a/1-r
Given a = 1/9 and r = -8/9
S∞ = (1/9)/1-(-8/9)
S∞ = (1/9)/1+8/9
S∞ = (1/9)/17/9
S∞ = 1/9×9/17
S∞ = 1/17
The sum of the geometric series is 1/17
Two supplementary angles equal 180 degrees when added together.
180 - 163 = 17
the other angle would be 17 degrees

Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the second equation by 2, it becomes ...
-x +2y = 11
Adding this to the first equation gives you the value of y:
(x -y) +(-x +2y) = (-4) +(11)
y = 7 . . . . . . . . simplify
The first equation can be rearranged to give an expression for x:
x = y -4
x = 7 -4 = 3
Then the solution is seen to be (x, y) = (3, 7).

Personally, I like a graphing calculator for a quick and easy solution to many linear systems. (If the solutions are non-integers, it may not be so helpful.)
$100 - $49.95 = $50.05
You have $100, and just renting costs $49.95, leaving $50.05 left.
$50.05 / $0.39 = 128.3
Out of your money left ($50.05) you divide my how much it costs in a day, to get how many miles you can go.
The answer is 128.3, but if you were going a round trip (there and back) you would do 128.3 / 2 = 64.16, meaning you can go 64 miles and come back, all for a hundred dollars (still 128 miles in total though)
