The First 4 Terms Of A 10term Geometric Series Are Listed Below Which Expression Represents The Sum Of The Series 16 25 8 4 10 210 5 class=

Sagot :

Given:

First 10 term of a geometric series are:

[tex]\dfrac{16}{25}+\dfrac{8}{5}+4+10+...+a_10[/tex]

To find:

The expression that  represents the sum of the series.

Solution:

The first term of the given geometric series is:

[tex]a_1=\dfrac{16}{25}[/tex]

The common ratio of the given geometric series is:

[tex]r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}[/tex]

[tex]r=\dfrac{\dfrac{8}{5}}{\dfrac{16}{25}}[/tex]

[tex]r=\dfrac{8}{5}\times \dfrac{25}{16}[/tex]

[tex]r=\dfrac{5}{2}[/tex]

The sum of first n terms of a geometric sequence is:

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{a_1(1-r^n}{1-r}[/tex]

Where r is the common ratio.

Putting [tex]a_1=\dfrac{16}{25},r=\dfrac{5}{2},n=10[/tex] in the above formula, we get

[tex]S_{10}=\dfrac{16}{25}\left(\dfrac{(1-(\dfrac{5}{2})^{10}}{1-\dfrac{5}{2}}\right)[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is C, i.e., [tex]\dfrac{16}{25}\left(\dfrac{(1-(\dfrac{5}{2})^{10}}{1-\dfrac{5}{2}}\right)[/tex].

Answer:

the answer is option c or 16/25 ( 1 - ( 5/2 )^10 / 1 - 5/2)
