What's on the worksheet
- Decide whether each infinite geometric series converges.64 + 48 + 36 + …10 - 4 + \dfrac{8}{5} - \cdots5 + \dfrac{15}{2} + \dfrac{45}{4} + \cdots\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{2}{9} + \cdots4 - 5 + \dfrac{25}{4} - \cdots
- Find each sum.\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} 12\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{k-1}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} 5\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^{k}\sum_{k=3}^{\infty} \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{k}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{2^{n}}{5^{n-1}}
- Write each repeating decimal as an infinite geometric series (give its first term and ratio), and use the series to write the decimal as a fraction…0.4\overline{6}0.1\overline{36}5.\overline{405}
- A town council spends a grant of 6,000 dollars at local shops.
- 8 A square has side 8.
- In an infinite geometric series with positive terms, the first term is 3 times the sum of all the terms after it.
