rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so i know its convergent

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

A? bc of ∞

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Yes its convergent Sum to infinity = a1 / 1 - r a1 = fist term r = common ratio

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so i find that?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

@jhonyy9

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

i think like before you can try it step by step 8 + (8*5/6 = 20/3) + (8*25/36 = 50/9) + (8*125/216 = 27*125 = 3375 +... so i think from these result that the 3rd and 4th you can eliminate sure - yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes i think and i agree your answer that is choice A. right

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

wait but how would you tell if you couldnt find the sum?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so bc. i=1 till infinite so from this result that the sum not can be founded - or not ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

bc. there are the first 2 choices with these possibilities - yes ?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so the ∞ is what makes the sum not found?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes sure bc, we not can calculi the sum of these numbers - again - what begin with 1 and go till infinite - or you know a way what will give to you possibilitie to calculi one sum started with 1 and go till infinite ? i think not possibile

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. ?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

okay thanks c:

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

Rebecca please wait one moment i think i have missed anything

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@rebeccaxhawaii

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

8 + (8*5/6 = 20/3) + (8*25/36 = 50/9) + (8*125/216 = 125/27) + .... 8 4*5/3 2*(5/3)^2 (5/3)^3 ... Rebecca how you see it now do you can continue it ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what will be the next term of this line ?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

sorry i have to go for now .. thanks for all your help though c:

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. but hope you see about what i talking now here - yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the next term will be 8*(5/3)^4 = 8* 625/81 =
