OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is this ?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

No idea.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

geometric series?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Infinite, Convergent & Divergent Series

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is 6th partial sum?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

no idea.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah like it kind of looks like (a)(r)^n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could be .. I am yet to study sequence and series in detail.. :(

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Answer only. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as that comes right after those covergence and divergence stuf

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

so no1 knows it. :(

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm looking at it it's been a long while

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

:/

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

thanks for trying..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could move it up and use a geometric series lol

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess I got it!! :D

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Yay! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you do 4 yet those are super easy

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

no, i just did 1st one..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.mathwords.com/n/nth_partial_sum.htm

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

rest 4 are here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 is conergent

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i dont want to learn them man! just give me the answer. :/

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

4 = option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lolz saifoo that's not a good thing :P

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol, c'mon.. sometimes it's good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's convergent however that n-1 is throwing me off because the formula is ar^n

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that 5th one is not convergent ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it diverges |5|>0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>1 i mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah ....

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

so, question 5, option B or C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1335 number 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B for numer 5 if its 0<|r|<1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is not satisfied

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 is also B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again thanks I learned a new terminology :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 is also B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

saifoo for the partial sums i'd just use an integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from 15 to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^ right that would be a good approach !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

later on you find out you can use integrals to find the sums of series.. .which is basically what area is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^ that has some beautiful use in probability theory too .. ;)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Q 5 = b Q 4 = b. question 2 and 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 is 1246

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Thanks btw

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

=D

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Q 2?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

any guesses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still working on it... trying to find a way without having to actually tally each one u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could use a integral again XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

=D

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

ty

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

saifi, stop being lazy :P

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Mini go to sleep.

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

I just woke up mans :P

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Stop being a hypocrite, you shoul go to sleep

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

LOL, im not being that.

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Fine then douchebag

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm this seems weird cause #2 is a geometric series that diverges

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

saifi, any examples ?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

outkast, any doubt? i will go for it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i did it one by one and i'm still not getting an answer there

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Ohh!! no worries thanks for help! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oohh wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

stupid notations...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i will brb in 5mins.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9555 is answer for #2 ... just not sure how they did it without doing each and every becuase the geometric test only works for when |r|<1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you have 4 there

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Q 3 went wrong, rest all correct. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whbat did you put for number 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i keep getting 1246 using an integral
