Answer:
Ok, first in our series we can see two numbers in the Sigma, one bellow 0, and other above, 4.
This means that the value of k will go from 0 to 4, then all the numbers in the sum are:
(-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^3 + (-1/2)^4
So we have 5 terms in our series.
b) to see the sign in each term, we must solve the powers, remember that:
(-1)^n is -1 if n is odd, and is equal to 1 if n is even, so we have:
(-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^3 + (-1/2)^4
= 1 -1/2 + 1/4 - 1/8 + 1/16.
So the sign in each term of the series alternates.
Answer:
5; 10; 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
the 1st step is shown with orange colour, described on the right part; the 2d step is shown with blue colour, described on the right part of the picture.
1207 divided by 7 is equal to 172.4286
