Notice that
a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = a + r³ (a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ...)
but the grouped sum on the right side is the same as the sum on the left side. This means that, if the sum we want to compute
a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ...
converges to S, then
S = a + r³ S
Solve for S :
S - r³ S = a
(1 - r³) S = a
S = a/(1 - r³)
Similarly, knowing the value of the first sum, we have
a + ar + ar² + ar³ + ... = a + r (a + ar + ar² + ...)
but we know
a + ar + ar² + ... = 15
so
15 = a + 15r
and knowing the value of the second sum, we have
a + ar² + ar⁴ + ... = a + r² (a + ar² + ar⁴ + ...)
so
9 = a + 9r²
Solve these two equations for a and r :
15 = a + 15r ⇒ a = 15 - 15r
9 = a + 9r² ⇒ 9 = 15 - 15r + 9r² ⇒ 3r² - 5r + 2 = (3r - 2) (r - 1) = 0
⇒ r = 2/3 or r = 1
We cannot have r = 1, since that would mean
a + a + a + ... = 15
since the left side is adding infinitely many copies of some constant; such a sum can never converge to a finite number. So it must be that r = 2/3, and it follows that a = 15 - 15 (2/3) = 5.
Then the sum we want has a value of
S = 5/(1 - (2/3))³ = 135/19
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a + ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ... = 15 #1
r(a + ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ...) = 15r
ar¹ + ar² + ar³ + ... = 15r #2
subtract #2 from #1
a = 15 - 15r
a + ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... = 9 #3
r²(a + ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... )= 9r²
ar² + ar⁴ + ar⁶ + ... = 9r² #4
subtract #4 from #3
a = 9 - 9r²
15 - 15r = 9 - 9r²
9r² - 15r + 6 = 0
3r² - 5r + 2 = 0
r = (5 ±√(5² - 4(3)(2))) / (2(3)
r = (5 ± 1) / 6
r = 1
or
r = 4/6 = 2/3
if r = 1 then a = 15 - 15(1) = 0 and a series of zeros added together can never equal 15 so r = 2/3 must be true.
a = 15 - 15(2/3) = 5
a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = C #5
r³(a + ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ...) = Cr³
ar³ + ar⁶ + ar⁹ + ... = Cr³ #6
subtract #6 from #5
a = C - Cr³
a = C(1 - r³)
C = a/(1 - r³)
C = 5/(1 - (2/3)³)
C = 5/(1 - 8/27)
C = 5/(19/27)
C = 5(27/19)
C = 135/19 = 7.1052631578947368....

When the denominators have no common factor, the least common denominator is their product, as here.
Answer:
For this question, you can make the denominators the same to get the answer.
LCM of 7 and 9 = 63
[tex]\frac{6}{7} + \frac{4}{9} = \frac{54}{63} + \frac{28}{63} \\[/tex]

(I tried my best, sorry if it doesn't make sense.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Example: 1/4 - 1/8= ?
1: Find the common denominator (bottom number)
2: If the common denominator is 8 then you multiply 1/4 by 2/2 to get the denominator of 8. If you needed then you can multiply the other fraction to get the same denominator.
3: Once you get multiply that then you get 2/8 -1/8.
4: Subtract the numerator (top number) 1
5: Keep the numerator (8)
6: Your answer would be 1/8

Write an eighth-degree polynomial in factored form that is decreasing at both ends , has a single root at -2, a double root at 3 and 0 and triple root at -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -1(x + 2)(x - 3)(x - 3)(x + 0)(x + 0)(x + 1)(x + 1)(x + 1)
The 8 degree polynomial for the given roots can be written as p(x) = x⁸ - x⁷- 12x⁶ - 4x⁵ + 30x⁴ + 51x³ + 18x².
What is factor theorem?The factor theorem states that for a polynomial p(x) if there exists a real number a such that p(a) = 0, then (x - a) is one of the factors of p(x).
The roots of the polynomial are given as follows,
Number of roots at -2 = 1
Number of roots at 3 = 2
Number of roots at 0 = 2
And, number of roots at -1 = 3.
Now, the polynomial can be written using factor theorem as,
p(x) = x²(x + 2)(x - 3)²(x + 1)³
= x²(x + 2)(x²- 6x + 9)(x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1)
= x⁸ - x⁷- 12x⁶ - 4x⁵ + 30x⁴ + 51x³ + 18x²
Hence, the polynomial for given roots can be written as p(x) = x⁸ - x⁷- 12x⁶ - 4x⁵ + 30x⁴ + 51x³ + 18x².

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, as shown below. Solve for b. Then explain your reasoning.
Answer:
b = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both angles are diagonal each other, they are equal to each other.
5b = b + 56
-b -b (subtract b from both sides)
4b = 56
4 4 (divide both sides by 4 to solve for b)

Median = 69
UQ = 94
Step-by-step explanation:
This list is already sorted for you, so you don't need to worry about that, otherwise you would need to sort the numbers in ascending order. To find the median, we do [tex]\frac{n+1}{2}[/tex], where n is the amount of numbers. This gives us 4, so the median is at position 4, so the median is 69. The lower quartile is simply [tex]\frac{n+1}{4}[/tex], so 2, so the lower quartile is 54. The upper quartile is [tex]\frac{n+1}{2} X 3[/tex], so 6, so the upper quartile is 94.
