Identify the value of r and a1 for each geometric
series.
2 + 3 + 4.5+ 6.75 + ...

Given:

The given geometric series is

We need to determine the value of r and a₁

Value of a₁:

The term a₁ denotes the first term of the geometric series.

Hence, from the given series, the first term of the series is 2.

Thus, a₁ = 2.

Therefore, the value of a₁ is 2.

Value of r:

The term r denotes the common ratio between the terms in the geometric series.

The value of r is given by

Thus, the value of r is 1.5

answer: the correct one is a

step-by-step explanation:

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
