The answer is:
The second option,
b.)
We are given the functions E(x) and K(x), since they both are function of the same variable, we need to add them in order to find the correct option.
From the statement we know the functions:
and
So, adding the functions we have:
Hence, the answer is the second option,
b.)
Have a nice day!
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:
or
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.
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 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:
Once knowing which sequence or series is it, apply an appropriate formula for the series. For geometric series, apply the following three formulas:
Above should be applied for series that have common ratio not equal to 1.
Above should be applied for series that have common ratio exactly equal to 1.
