Consider 0.61111111
We note that the number 1 is repeating.
That is
0.6111111 = 0.6 + 0.01 + 0.001 +0.0001 + …. + 0.0000001
Therefore, the left side of the above equation is a geometric series with:
a = 0.01 or 1/100 and r = 0.1 or 1/10
Thus S = 0.6 + 0.01111111 = 0.611111111
= 3/5 + 1/90 = 11/18

b.

Consider 0.185185
We note that 185 is the repeating digits
That is
0.185185 = 0.185 + 0.000185 + 0.000000185 + ….
Therefore, the left side of the above equation is a geometric series with:
a = 0.185 and r = 1/1000
∴S=a = 0.185 =5
1-r 1-1/1000 27
 c.
Consider 0.857142857142
We note that 857142 are the repeating digits.
That is,
0.857142857142 = 0.857142 + 0.000000857142 + ….

Therefore, the left side of the equation is a geometric series with:

A = 0.857142 and r = 1 x 10−6
Thus,
S = a = 0.857142 = 6
1-r 1 – 1 x 10−6 7

Given that 6% interest compounded monthly per year for n months then we get

An investment of $10 for 120 months =

Therefore, the geometric series is:

With a1 = 1.005 and r = 1.005

Thus, the total at the end of ten years is:
S∞ =
∴ S120 =

At the end of 10 years, the investor will have $1649.99.

Given

Let an = then

an 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + ….

∴ This series is a geometric sequence with:

a1 = 1 and r = 1/5

Thus, by formula,

an = a𝑟 𝑛−1 = (1) =

Sn = a1 (1 - 𝑟 𝑛 ) = 1 [ 1 - ]

 a) Considering

We first use the divergence test where an = we get,

lim an = lim = =0
n→∞ n→∞

∴ The divergence test is inconclusive since this tells us it may converge, or it may
diverge.
Hence, we try the limit comparison test to show that exists
∴ We note is a convergent geometric series.
Since r = 1/3 < 1

∴ lim ÷ = lim
n→∞ n→∞

= lim = =1
n→∞

Thus, the lim exists.

n→∞

Since the lim ÷ exists and converges, then

n→∞

is a convergent series by the limit comparison test.

 b.

Considering

We first try the divergent test

Let an = we get

lim an = lim = =0
𝑛→∞ 𝑛→∞

Therefore, this divergence test is inclusive. Hence, we use the limit comparison test where

We note that is convergent.

Since by the P-series test, P = 2 > 1

Now, we can determine if lim exists.

𝑛→∞

i.e. lim ÷ = lim

𝑛→∞ 𝑛→∞

= lim = lim = =1
𝑛→∞ 𝑛→∞

Hence, this limit exists.

∴ since lim ÷ exists and converges, by the P-series test.

Thus,

is convergent by the limit comparison test.

 c.

Considering

First, we try the divergence test.

Let an =

Then,

lim = 0, since >> for large values of n.

∴ The divergence test is inconclusive.

Hence, we can try the ratio test where we determine Pn = .

That is,

Pn =

Thus,

P= lim Pn = lim
𝑛→∞ 𝑛→∞

Since P < 1, this series converges by the ratio test.

d.

Considering

Let , then

lim an = lim = = 0, divergent

𝑛→∞ 𝑛→∞

Noting, this is alternating harmonic series that passes the divergent test, then since

We want to show that |an + 1| ≤ |an|

Let
 =

f’(x) < 0 iff <0

>1

| | >1

Hence, for every n > 1, this series decreases where |an + 1| ≤ |an|.

Thus, since this series passes the divergence test and is also decreasing by the alternating
series, this series converges.

Considering

Using the ratio test we get

P = lim
𝑛→∞ <1

= lim = lim |x|

𝑛→∞ 𝑛→∞
∴ | x | < 1 or -1 < x < 1

Thus

R = 1, C=0

For when x = -1

= ∞ , it diverges

For when x = 1

Let an = , then this is a geometric series with |r| = 1, therefore, it diverges.

Thus,
The radius of convergence R = 1
The interval of convergence I = ( -1, 1 )

∴ the series converges “for all x”.

Thus, R = 0 and I = (-∞, ∞).
