Evaluate the infinte geometric series.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1/2 )^{n-2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, this is an infinite solution since the top is your upper limit and the bottom is the lower limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, -1/2^1-2 and so on - all the way to infinity - is going to be your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 3(0.4)^{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that also and thanks keep explaining

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. -1/2^1-2 all the way to infinity (my answer for number 1?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same thing for this equation. Replace the n with the lower limit (1) all the way to infinity. You don't have to show the work up to infinity, just lead up to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ket-kat so what would that be for number 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ket-kat whats the answer for 1 and 2, i'm confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hate that stuff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev can you still help me though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay Like I said. In both equations on the left side of the stigma, replace the n with: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.......... infinity And solve the equations :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<3 No worries

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we did this last chapter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FLVS? I'm doing it now xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nice so its fresh for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so first u have to know that whats in parenths is ur rate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply parenths by # next to them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. \[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1/2)^{n-1}\] 2. \[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 3(0.4)^{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like 3x.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x.4= 1.2 my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now take 1 and subtract by # in ( )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like 1-.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forget everythng i said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*easily erases everything you said from brain*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev soooooo...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k lets do #2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember everything i siad erlier actualy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WTF.. ok lol :)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

wtf = wow, that's fantastic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@saifoo.khan exactly

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Totally.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u can leave now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wats 1-.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev its .6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just get someone else to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forget

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15trev nobody else is helping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well if i brought home my book i would know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u hav the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev i just turned it in without those answers :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i goota take a poop brb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev nvm just ill send u a link to my new question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev can u oovoo?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the person im babysitting is right here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

post link to new q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev ur not babysitting ur bro? and im in the middle of posting it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nabor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she likes minecraft

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev lol to bad both servers we like r down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@15Trev so when r u done babysittin?
