Consider the series ∑n=1∞5n2+n.
The general formula for the sum of the first n terms is Sn=
. Your answer should be in terms of n.
The sum of a series is defined as the limit of the sequence of partial sums, which means
∑n=1∞5n2+n=limn→∞(
)=
.
Select all true statements (there may be more than one correct answer):
A. Most of the terms in each partial sum cancel out.
B. The series converges.
C. The series is a p-series.
D. The series is a telescoping series (i.e., it is like a collapsible telescope).
E. The series is a geometric series.
Answers
(a) Decompose the summand into partial fractions:
[tex]\dfrac5{n^2+n} = \dfrac5{n(n+1)} = \dfrac an+\dfrac b{n+1}[/tex]
[tex]\implies 5=a(n+1)+bn=(a+b)n+a[/tex]
[tex]\implies a+b=0\text{ and }a=5 \implies b=-5[/tex]
[tex]\implies\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac5{n^2+n} = 5\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left(\frac1n-\frac1{n+1}\right)[/tex]
The n-th partial sum for the series is
[tex]S_n = 5\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n\left(\frac1k-\frac1{k+1}\right)[/tex]
which can be simplified significantly by examinging consective terms in the sum:
[tex]\displaystyle S_n = 5\left(1-\frac12\right) + 5\left(\frac12-\frac13\right) + 5\left(\frac13-\frac14\right) + \cdots + 5\left(\frac1{n-1}-\frac1n\right) + 5\left(\frac1n-\frac1{n+1}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\implies S_n = \boxed{5\left(1-\dfrac1{n+1}\right)}[/tex]
(b) Using the result of (a), you then get
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac5{n^2+n} = \lim_{n\to\infty}\boxed{5\left(1-\frac1{n+1}\right)} = \boxed{5}[/tex]
(c) As shown in (a), the partial sum is simplified because of the reasons given in options A and D, and the result of (b) says that B is also correct.
Answer:
Part a. [tex]\displaystyle S_n = 5 - \frac{5}{n + 1}[/tex]
Part b. [tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} (5 - \frac{5}{n + 1}) = 5[/tex]

there are 10 crates of eggs stacked in the corner. each crate of eggs holds 20 eggs. If there is only 1 broken egg in the entire stack of crates, what percent of the crates have broken eggs in them?
Answers
Answer: 5%
Step-by-step explanation: If there is one broken egg in each crate (1/20), you would change that to5%
And if there are ten crates, then you see how many eggs there a re total.
(10 × 20 = 200)
If there are 200 eggs and for every 20 eggs there is on broken one, then there will be 10 broken eggs total. or 10/200
convert the fraction to a decimal ( 10 ÷ 200 = .05)
then convert the decimal to a percent. .05 is equal to 5%

The radius of a circular disk is given as 26 cm with a maximum error in measurement of 0.2 cm. (a) Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in the calculated area of the disk. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) cm2 (b) What is the relative error
Answers
Answer:
(a) Hence the maximum error in the calculated area of the disk is 32.67[tex]cm^{2}[/tex].
(b) Hence the relative error is 1.54%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the given are,
The Radius of the circle r = 26cm.
The maximum error in measurement dr = 0.2 cm.
Answer:
(a) [tex]A =(4245.28\pm32.66) cm^2[/tex]
(b) [tex]\frac{dA}{A}=\frac{32.66}{4245.28}=0.0077[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
radius, r = 26 cm
error = 0.2 cm
(a) The area of the disc is given by
[tex]A = \pi r^2\\\\dA = 2\pi r dr\\\\dA = 2 \times 3.14\times 26\times 0.2= 32.66[/tex]
Now
A = 3.14 x r x r = 3.14 x 26 x 26 = 4245.28 cm^2
So, the area with error is given by
[tex]A =(4245.28\pm32.66) cm^2[/tex]
(b) The relative error is
[tex]\frac{dA}{A}=\frac{32.66}{4245.28}=0.0077[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic function is given to us and we need to find the x Intercepts of the given function . The function is ,
[tex]\bf \implies g(x) = -2( x -4)(x+1)[/tex]
Step 1 : Equate the function with 0,
[tex]\bf \implies -2( x -4)(x+1) = 0 [/tex]
Step 2: Equating with 0 :-
Now equate each factors seperately with 0 , to get the x Intercepts.
Step 3: Finding the intercepts :-
[tex]\bf \implies x - 4 = 0 \\\\\implies\boxed{\bf\blue{ x = 4 }} [/tex]
Again ,
[tex]\bf \implies x + 1 = 0 \\\\\implies\boxed{ \blue{\bf x = -1}} [/tex]
Hence the x intercepts are 4 and -1 .

Diane bought new headphones originally listed for $70.99. They are 25% off. Which equation can be used to find the amount Diane will save?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
100% = $70.99
there is a discount of 25%.
that means 75% (100 - 25) of the original price remains.
the equation to get any x% amount of a 100% total is simply
x% amount = 100% total amount × x/100
25% = 70.99 × 25/100 = $17.75

Now suppose that not every player can play in every position. The outfielders (left field, center field, right field) can play any outfield position, the infielders (1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, short stop) can play any infield position, the pitchers can only pitch, and the catchers can only catch. Suppose a certain team has 20 players, of whom 3 are catchers, 4 are outfielders, 6 are infielders, and 7 are pitchers.
How many ways can the team assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players, putting each of the 9 selected players in a position he can play, and ensuring that all 9 field positions are filled?
Answers
Answer:
The team can assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players in 181,440 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the outfielders (left field, center field, right field) can play any outfield position, the infielders (1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, short stop) can play any infield position, the pitchers can only pitch, and the catchers can only catch, supposing a certain team has 20 players, of whom 3 are catchers, 4 are outfielders, 6 are infielders, and 7 are pitchers, to determine how many ways can the team assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players, putting each of the 9 selected players in a position he can play, and ensuring that all 9 field positions are filled, the following calculation must be performed:
3 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 = X
21 x 30 x 12 x 24 = X
630 x 12 x 24 = X
181,440 = X
Therefore, the team can assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players in 181,440 different ways.
