Help with 3 question please I really need it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know its divergent because the ratio is larger than 1 i also think the sum is -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think about this one. If I gave you 15(4) = 60 dollars a day starting today forever, and we both lived forever then how much money would you accumulate? $10,000? $1,000,000,000,000?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the alst one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So on day x you would have that amount. What about the next day?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60 more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's happening?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its infinite it wont stop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And what do mathematicians call that behaviour?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinite geometric sequence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not the word they're seeking. Look again at the options.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

convergent and divergent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can't be both. In mathematics something is convergent if it comes down to a definite number. This one is _divergent_. Just a word to learn. You were right when you said infinite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if its divergent how do i find the sum is it -5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sum of an infinite divergent geometric series cannot be found.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its d 4 is greater than 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The correct answer is the _fourth_ option. This is a divergent series. It has no sum. You're entering the world where you can write mathematical expressions that simply have no answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d is correct can u help me with 2 more ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is teh otehr one for this one im sure its c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@BillBell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the firt ne is also c can u check my answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

teh last two i posted is the ones i need someone to check i think both are c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm i got it right tahnks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Welcome! (What is nvm?)
