Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometrical series

∑ [infinity] n=2 (− 2) n−1

I think the correct series should be the sum from n = 2 to ∞ of (-2)^n-1

So,

∑(-2)^(n-1)...... From n = 2 to ∞

A. The first four terms

When n = 2

(-2)^(2-1) = (-2)^1 = -2

When n = 3

(-2)^(3-1) = (-2)^2 = 4

When n = 4

(-2)^(4-1) = (-2)^3 = -8

When n = 5

(-2)^(5-1) = (-2)^4 = 16

B. The series will diverge since the common ratio is not between 0 and 1

So, let use limit test

Lim as n →∞ (-2)^(n-1) = (-2)^∞ = ±∞

Since the limit is infinite, then the series diverges

C. Since her series diverges we can find the sum, the sum is infinite, so it will sum up to ±∞

Answer: answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of linear inequalities, we can use a graphical method or algebraic method.

Let's start with the algebraic method.

First, let's rearrange the inequalities to solve for one variable in terms of the other.

From the first inequality, we have:

x ≤ 10 - 2y

From the second inequality, we have:

y ≤ 8 - 2x

From the third inequality, we have:

x ≤ (20 + 5y)/2

Now, let's plot the graphs of these inequalities on a coordinate plane.

Graphing the first inequality, x ≤ 10 - 2y, we start by drawing the line x = 10 - 2y. Since it is a "less than or equal to" inequality, we will draw a solid line.

Graphing the second inequality, y ≤ 8 - 2x, we start by drawing the line y = 8 - 2x. Again, since it is a "less than or equal to" inequality, we will draw a solid line.

Graphing the third inequality, x ≤ (20 + 5y)/2, we start by drawing the line x = (20 + 5y)/2. This time, since it is a "less than" inequality, we will draw a dashed line.

Now, we shade the region that satisfies all three inequalities. This region is the intersection of the shaded regions of the individual inequalities.

Finally, we can determine the solution by looking at the shaded region on the graph. The solution is the set of all points that lie within or on the boundary of the shaded region.

Alternatively, we can also solve the system of inequalities algebraically by finding the points where the lines intersect. We can then check if these points satisfy all three inequalities.

The oven tray is 600mm by 500mm. A cake tin is 25cm in diameter. How many cake tins can jenny fit on the oven tray at one time?

Answers

Area of Circle= \pir^(2)
                      = (22)/(7)( (25cm)/(2)) ^(2)
                      = 490.87cm^(2)

Area of Oven tray= 60cm x 50cm
                            = 3000cm^(2)

: . # tin that can hold on bake tray= 3000cm^(2)490.87cm^(2)                                 = 6.11

What is the length of segment ol?

Answers

Answer:

The length of segment of OL is 22.4 cm

Option 3 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔMNL, NM||PO

If two sides are parallel then their corresponding sides are in ratio.

Basic Proportionality Theorem: If a line is parallel to a side of a triangle which intersects the other sides into two distinct points, then the line divides those sides in same ratio.

Therefore,

(OL)/(OM)=(PL)/(NP)

(x+4)/(8)=(14)/(5)

5(x+4)=14\cdot 8

5x+20=112

5x=92

x=18.4

OL = x+4

OL = 18.4 + 4 = 22.4 cm

Hence, The length of segment of OL is 22.4 cm

Ok, so to do this problem you have to set up a proportion. You are given x+4, 14, 8, and 5. The proportion is as follows:

X+4      8
-----  = ----     Now cross multiply to get 5x+20=112. 112-20= 92, and 
14        5       92/5= 18.4. Your answer is A, 18.4 cm.


Hope this helps! :)
