- Find the sum of the first five terms of the sequence with the given general term. an=2(13)narrow_forwardA ball has a bounce-back ratio 35 . of the height of the previous bounce. Write a series representing the total distance traveled by the ball, assuming it was initially dropped from a height of 5 feet. What is the total distance? (Hint: the total distance the ball travels on each bounce is the sum of the heights of the rise and the fall.)arrow_forwardHow is finding the sum of an infinite geometric series different from finding the nth partial sum?arrow_forward
- For the series i=1510i find (a) the fourth partial sum and (b) the sum. Notice in Example 9(b) that the sum of an infinite series can be a finite numberarrow_forwardFind the twelfth term of a sequence where the first term is 256 and the common ratio is r=14.arrow_forwardUse the explicit formula to write a geometric sequence whose common ratio is a decimal number between 0 and 1. Show the first 4 terms, and then find the 8th term.arrow_forward
- Find the first term and common difference of a sequence where the third term is 2 and the twelfth term is -25. Give the formula for the general term.arrow_forwardWrite 0.65 as an infinite geometric series using summation notation. Then use the formula for finding the sum of an infinite geometric series to convert 0.65 to a fraction.arrow_forwardAt which term does the sequence 10,12,14.4,17.28,... exceed 100?arrow_forward
