a. Explanation Given: The geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k , where | r | < 1 . Result used: The geometric series ∑ n = 1 ∞ a r n − 1 = a + a r + a r 2 + ⋯ is convergent if | r | < 1 and its sum is a 1 − r , where a ≠ 0 is the first term and r is the common ratio of the series. Calculation: Obtain the geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k at r = − 0.9 . Here, the geometric series ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.9 ) k with first term of the series is a = 1 and common ratio is | r | = 0.9 < 1 . Compute the sum of the geometric series by the Result stated above as follows. ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.9 ) k = 1 1 + 0.9 = 1 1.9 ≈ 0.526 That is, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.9 ) k ≈ 0.526 . Obtain the geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k at r = − 0.7 . Here, the geometric series ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.7 ) k with first term of the series is a = 1 and common ratio is | r | = 0.7 < 1 . Compute the sum of the geometric series by the Result stated above as follows, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.7 ) k = 1 1 + 0.7 = 1 1.7 ≈ 0.588 That is, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.9 ) k ≈ 0.526 . Obtain the geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k at r = − 0.5 . Here, the geometric series ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.5 ) k with first term of the series is a = 1 and common ratio is | r | = 0.5 < 1 . Compute the sum of the geometric series by the Result stated above as follows, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.5 ) k = 1 1 + 0.5 = 1 1.5 ≈ 0.667 That is, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.5 ) k ≈ 0.667 . Obtain the geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k at r = − 0.2 . Here, the geometric series ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.2 ) k with first term of the series is a = 1 and common ratio is | r | = 0.2 < 1 . Compute the sum of the geometric series by the Result stated above as follows, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.2 ) k = 1 1 + 0.2 = 1 1.2 ≈ 0.833 That is, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0 b. To determine To sketch: The graph of f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k with | r | < 1 . c. To determine To evaluate: The value of lim r → 1 − f ( r ) and lim r → 1 + f ( r ) .

8. Name and Email AddressesWrite a program that keeps names and email addresses in a dictionary as key-value pairs. The program should display a menu that lets the user look up a person’s email address, add a new name and email address, change an existing email address, and delete an existing name and email address. The program should pickle the dictionary and save it to a file when the user exits the program. Each time the program starts, it should retrieve the dictionary from the file and unpickle it. How would the user be able to use the program?
