How Do We Use A Semi Colon

How do we use a Semi colon

 

Answer:

Semicolons are used to connect two independent clauses (sentences that can stand alone) that are related in thought. Basically, semicolon is longer than a comma but shorter than a period.

For example,

These clauses become two sentences when a period is used:

My laptop is not working anymore. The battery is dead.

These clauses that are related in thought are joined together by a semicolon:

My laptop is not working anymore; the battery is dead.

What Is The Sum Of The Infinite Geometric Series 3/4 -9/16+27/64 -81/256+ ...?, A. 3 , B. 1 , C. 3/4, D.3/7

What is the sum of the infinite geometric series 3/4 -9/16+27/64 -81/256+ ...? a. 3 b. 1 c. 3/4 D.3/7   Geometric Sequence Finding the sum The sum of the infinite geometric series 3/4 -9/16+27/64 -81/256+ . ..is 3/7. Solution: Geometric Series Sum Formula: S = a₁/1 - r Given: a₁ = 3/4            a₂ = -9/16            a₃ = 27/64            a₄ = -81/256 1. Find the common ratio.        a_n = a₁r ⁿ ⁻ ¹         a₂  = a₁r ⁿ ⁻ ¹    -9/16 = 3/4 r ² ⁻ ¹    -9/16 = 3/4 r 2. Divide both sides of the equation by 3/4 to find r.     -9/16/3/4 = 3/4 r/3/4   (-9/16)(4/3) = r         -36/48 = r             -3/4 = r 3. Using r = -3/4, find the sum of the infinite geometric series 3/4 -9/16 +27/64 -81/256+ ...     S = a₁/1 – r     S = 3/4/1 – (-3/4)     S = 3/4/1 + ¾     S = 3/4/4/4  + 3/4     S = 3/4/7/4     S = (3/4)(4/7)     S = 12/28     S = 3/7 4. Therefore, the sum of the infinite geometric series 3/4 -9/16+27/64 -81/256+ ...is 3/7. Defin...
