OpenStudy (anonymous):

as we know the ? mark side is always\[ x \sqrt{2}\] so the sides move by multiplying by\[r=\sqrt{2}\] \[1,1\sqrt{2},2,2\sqrt{2},4,4\sqrt{2}\] so area is this sides squared divided by 2 \[\frac{1}{2}+1+2+4+8+16\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so add all these up & divide by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15.75?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont divide just add

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so add the 1/2 +1 +2 +4...... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that what u said?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes ! you want to add the area of each triangle to get area of entire colorful figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so .....

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so add... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just the.... the 1/2 +1 +2 +4...... ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1/2 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

7 colorful triangles, u need to add each area

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1/2 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 ^ ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

start wid adding those two first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i added 4 & 16 like u said

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol you want me walk u thru addition ha ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

add it dude

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im asking u what u do after adding all these numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuz i got 63/4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats it ! watever u get after addition is the 'area of entire colorful region'

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how u managed to get 4 in the bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

63/4= 31.5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks wrong, check ur addition again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what??? all i did was add 1/2 + 1+2+4+8+16

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1/2 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 ^ ^ 1/2 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 20 ^ ^ 1/2 + 1 + 10 + 20 1/2 + 1 + 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops 63/2 i mean :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol okie looks correct !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok & what abt this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

find the 'r'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bu the top is infinity right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \sum \limits_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{3^{i+1}}{(-5)^{i+2}}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \sum \limits_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{3 \times 3^{i}}{25 \times (-5)^{i}}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \sum \limits_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{3}{25} \frac{ 3^{i}}{ (-5)^{i}}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \sum \limits_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{3}{25} (\frac{ -3}{ 5})^i\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|r| = |-3/5| < 1 so the series converges

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I got it 1/2 way there :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k & this:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since you're looking for series, you look for + sign

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

in what options, + sign is there

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

in wat options they're adding things ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A, D, E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh cuz in a series u have to add??

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh cuz I was gonna say B is still geometric

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and since they're not infinite, so tick all A D and E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so I'll say A, D , & E then :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah, actuall all are geometric. oly A, D, & E are series. rest all are sequences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :) also when they say find the sum of the series, u just have to add em all up right??

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes,

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if you're lazy like me, you wud google quickly and find the formula for adding them

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

adding 2 + 4 + 8 + ..... 1024 is such a pain uhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... I know how to add.... plus I don't wanna be lay :) u gotta work hard to gain something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*lazy

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

being lazy helps u become effecient in doing things

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:P ur funny

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol no you're funny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shut up :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okie doke

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if u have to find the sum of: 1+2+4+.....+64 u would add all the numbers until 64 correct?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it says: what is the number of terms in this geometric series? 1+2+4+.....+64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 64 right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

64 is the last term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 65

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

fill the numbers in between first then simply count

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1+2+4+8+16+32+64

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how many terms ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm yeah there is 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

including 1 and 64

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

count them :s

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1+2+4+8+16+32+64 these are just 7 terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but its 1+2+4+.....+64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh nvm its doubling ea time!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes its 1+2+4+.... its not 1+2+3+...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah ! you got it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the sum of the sries?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*series

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

add em all up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1374274091497:dw| this is the problem
