Type the correct answer in each box. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. Complete the statements about series A and B.
Series A: 10 + 4 +8/5 + 16/25 + 13/125 + ...
Series B: 1/5 + 3/5 + 9/5 + 27/5 + 81/5 +...

Series (a or b) has an r value of (blank) where 0<|r|<1. So, we can find the sum of the series. The sum of the series is (blank)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two  series A and B;

Series A: 10 + 4 +8/5 + 16/25 + 13/125 + ...

Series B: 1/5 + 3/5 + 9/5 + 27/5 + 81/5 +...

Both series are geometric series since they have the same common ratio. Given the geometric series T₁, T₂, T₃, T₄..., the common ratio r is expressed as .

a) For series A, Given T₁ = 10, T₂ = 4, T₃ = 8/5 and T₄ = 13/125

Its common ratio is expressed as

Hence the common ratio of series A is 2/5

The sum to infinity of the geometric series will be expressed as

Note that the sum to infifnity is used since the series is tending to infinity.

a is the first term if the series = 10

r - 2/5

On substituting this values into the formula;

Hence the sum of the series is 50/3

b) For the series B;

Series B: 1/5 + 3/5 + 9/5 + 27/5 + 81/5 +...

The common ratio of the series is expressed as shown;

Hence its common ratio is 3.

Sun of the series is expressed similarly as:

Hence the sum of series B is -1/10

(3x-8) or (3x+8)
