Determine whether the geometric series 25 − 5 + 1 − 0.2 ... converges or diverges, and identify the sum if it exists.

Converges

Sum = 20.8333

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric series has a general formula of:

Where 'a' is the initial term, 'n' is the number of terms, and 'r' is the constant ratio. If |r| < 1 than the series converges.

In this particular case, the initial term is a=25, and each term is being divided by -5, or multiplied by -0.2, so the general form would be:

Since 0.2 < 1.0, the series converges.

The sum of the series is given by:

The sum is 20.8333.

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
