Answer 2

Do you know the difference between a "geometric sequence" and a "geometric series" ?

Answer 3

Part2 is about "geometric sequence"

Part3 is about "geometric series"

Answer 4

No I do not.

Answer 5

Are you skipping lessons and rushing directly to do assignments ?

Answer 6

No, I have re-read it. I could do almost all of it just this one part I dont know how.

Answer 7

Here, I know what it is but I dont understand it, I have read up on it on multiple things, it just doesn't make since. Can you help me understand it better? Thats why I asked the question in the first place...

Answer 8

I see you wanted to learn and I'd love to help you.
First we must know the difference between "sequence" and "series"

Answer 9

To start with, at least tell me what you know about them

Answer 10

A sequence goes on and is multiplied by a number over and over.

Answer 11

Yea, what about a series ?

Answer 12

sequence : list of numbers
series : sum of numbers

Answer 13

for example

A sequence is :
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ...

A series is :
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + ...

Answer 14

See the difference between a sequence and a series ?

Answer 15

Oh, ok so sequence you multiply, series you add?

Answer 16

No, a sequence is basically any list of numbers.

Below is a sequence too
2, 3, 8, 7, 4, ...

Answer 17

The corresponding series would be

2 + 3 + 8 + 7 + 5 + ...

Answer 18

As you can see, we're simply adding the elements in a sequence to produce a series.

Answer 19

Maybe let's go ahead and do Part3

Answer 20

Ok

Answer 21

You may cookup the question for part3 something like this :

How many total minutes has the Jacob worked in gym over the first 5 days ?

Answer 22

Do you mind if I use that? If so, do I answer it?

Answer 23

You may use that question. Try answering it

Answer 24

227.8125?

Answer 25

Show steps please

Answer 26

1/2 of 30 = 15 + 30 = 45. 1/2 of 45 = 22.5 + 45 = 67.5. 1/2 of 67.5 = 33.75 + 67.5 = 101.25. 1/2 of 101.25 = 50.625 + 101.25 = 151.875. 1/2 of 151.875 = 75.9375 + 151.875 = 227.8125

Answer 27

Thank you!

Answer 28

That doesn't look right! let me check..

Answer 29

Upto First day : 30
Upto Second day : 30(1 + 1/2) = 45
Upto Third day : 45(1 + 1/2) = 67.5
Upto Fourth day : 67.5(1 + 1/2) = 100.5
Upto Fifth day : 100.5(1 + 1/2) = 150.75
