Not an expertise on infinite sums but the most straightforward explanation is that infinity isn't a number.

Let's see if there are anything we missed:

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=1+2+4+8+16+...

n=0

We multiply (2-1) on both sides:

       ∞

(2-1)  Σ  2^n=(2-1)1+2+4+8+16+...

      n=0

And we expand;

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=(2+4+8+16+32+...)-(1+2+4+8+16+...)

n=0

But now, imagine that the expression 1+2+4+8+16+... have the last term of 2^n, where n is infinity, then the expression of 2+4+8+16+32+... must have the last term of 2(2^n), then if we cancel out the term, we are still missing one more term to write:

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=-1+2(2^n)

n=0

If n is infinity, then 2^n must also be infinity. So technically, this goes back to infinity.

Although we set a finite term for both expressions, the further we list the terms, they will sooner or later approach infinity.

Yep, this shows how weird the infinity sign is.

Answer:

increase = 37.38 cm²

You'd like the first way because it took less effort and less chance of a miscalculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

first way:

(just work with the difference in height)

(0.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (0.7 x 18 x 2) = 37.38 cm²

second way:

old total lateral surface area = (31 x 8.7 x 2) + (31 x 18 x 2) = 1655.4

new total lateral surface area = (31.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (31.7 x 18 x 2) = 1692.78

increase = 1692.78 - 1655.4 = 37.38 cm²

which statement is true about the equations –3x 4y = 12 and x1/4 – 1/3y = 1? the system of the equations has exactly one solutio
finlep [7]
If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:

-3x + 4y = 12
x * 1/4 - 1/3 * y = 1 ... x * 1/4 = 1 + 1/3 * y ... x = 4 + 4/3 * y
_____________
<span>-3x + 4y = 12
</span>-3 * (4 + 4/3 * y) + 4y = 12
-12 - 4y + 4y = 12
-12 = 12
-12 - 12 = 0
-24 = 0

The correct result would be: <span>the system of the equations has no solution; the two lines are parallel.</span>

For linear, the y-differences are equal. An example is the total cost of buying a single type of item.
Quadratic - the 2nd differences are equal,. Example: path of a kicked ball
Cubic - the 3rd differences are equal. Example: modeling the shapes of vases or curved designs
Exponential - the y-ratios are equal. Example: growth of bacteria
