Question

The population of a type of local bass can be found using an infinite geometric series where a1 = 94 and the common ratio is one third. Find the sum of this infinite series that will be the upper limit of this population. PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

first do the check we did last, is |r|<1?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

well the infinite sum, or limiting sum is

\[S_{\infty} = \frac{a}{1 - r}\]

Answer 4

then we use the same equation we did last time. like campbell just posted

Answer 5

just plug the values in and get your answer

a = 1st term, r = common ratio

Answer 6

94/1-(1/3)

Answer 7

yep

Answer 8

141

Answer 9

thats it,,,

Answer 10

can you help me with a couple more please? @campbell_st
