1) For which infinite geometric series can you NOT find the sum?
A)
96, 24, 6, 1.5, 0.375,..
B)
81,72.9, 65.61, 59.049...
C)
127, 152.4, 182.88, 219.456,--
D)
154, 53.9, 18.865, 6.60275...

there is only one way to arrange all the eight relative to each other because they are not distinct. we have

now there are nine places to place an (and not more than one in one place).   because we have four symbols, we need to choose four of these nine places to insert an . order does not matter because the are not distinct.

thus there are 1 · c(9,4) ways, or, if we calculate it,

thus there are 126 ways to form such "words."

we have been given a piecewise function which has three parts

we can graph each part one by one.

first part is x+1 which is just like equation y=x+1

restriction with first part is x< 0 so that means we can use any number for x which is less than 0 for example x=-1 and x=-2

now plug x=-1 into y=x+1 to get y

y=x+1=-1+1=0

so the point will be (-1,0)

similarly we get another point (-2,-1)

now we graph a line joining both points but keep in mind that line must be on left side of x=0 because of restriction x< 0

same way we can graph 2nd and third parts

if we have < or > then we use open circle.

if we have < = or > = then we use close circle.

so using above information, final graph can be drawn as:
