Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent by expressing sn as a telescoping sum (as in this example). [infinity] 6 n(n + 3) n = 1

a) convergent

b) divergent

If it is convergent, find its sum. (If the quantity diverges, enter DIVERGES.)

Answers

Answer 1

I assume the series is supposed to be

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac6{n(n+3)}[/tex]

The summand can be expanded into partial fractions:

[tex]\dfrac6{n(n+3)}=\dfrac an+\dfrac b{n+3}[/tex]

[tex]\implies 6=a(n+3)+bn=(a+b)n+3a[/tex]

[tex]\implies\begin{cases}a+b=0\\3a=6\end{cases}\implies a=2,b=-2[/tex]

Then the sum is equivalent to

[tex]\displaystyle2\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left(\frac1n-\frac1{n+3}\right)[/tex]

Consider the N-th partial sum of the series:

2[(1 - 1/4) + (1/2 - 1/5) + (1/3 - 1/6) + (1/4 - 1/7) + (1/5 - 1/8) + …

+ (1/(N - 3) - 1/N) + (1/(N - 2) - 1/(N + 1)) + (1/(N - 1) - 1/(N + 2)) + (1/N - 1/(N + 3))]

Each of the negative terms (in bold) will have a positive counterpart (underlined) that cancel, so the N-th partial sum would be

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N\frac6{n(n+3)} = 2\left(1+\frac12+\frac13-\frac1{N+1}-\frac1{N+2}-\frac1{N+3}\right)[/tex]

As N approaches infinity, the last three terms in the sum converge to 0, so the original sum converges to

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac6{n(n+3)} = 2\left(1+\frac12+\frac13\right) = \boxed{\frac{11}3}[/tex]

Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 18

Answers

Answer:

3√3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the altitude of the equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 18 . Firstly let us find the side of the∆.

[tex]\rm \implies a + a + a = 18 \\\\\rm\implies 3a = 18 \\\\\rm\implies a = 6 [/tex]

Now we know that in a equilateral triangle , the altitude of the triangle with side length a is ,

[tex]\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} a [/tex]

Plug in the value of a that is 6 , we will get ,

[tex]\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2} a \\\\\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{ \sqrt3}{2}\times 6 \\\\\rm\implies Altitude = \sqrt3 \times 3 \\\\\rm\implies\boxed{ \bf Altitude = 3\sqrt3 \ units }[/tex]

Introduction to area of a piecewise rectangular figure

Answers

Given:

The piecewise rectangular figure.

To find:

The area of the piecewise rectangular figure.

Solution:

Draw a line and divide the given figure in two parts (a) and (b) as shown in the below figure.

Figure (a) is a rectangle of length 5 yd and width 3 yd. So, the area of the rectangle is:

[tex]Area=length\times width[/tex]

[tex]A_a=5\times 3[/tex]

[tex]A_a=15[/tex]

Figure (b) is a square of edge 2 yd. So, the area of the square is:

[tex]Area=(edge)^2[/tex]

[tex]A_b=(2)^2[/tex]

[tex]A_b=4[/tex]

The area of the given figure is:

[tex]A=A_a+A_b[/tex]

[tex]A=15+4[/tex]

[tex]A=19[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the given figure is 19 square yd.

B: -14x2 + 36x - 18; all real numbers except x = 7
C: 12x2 - 48x + 21; all real numbers except x = 1
D: -14x2 + 36x - 18; all real numbers

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + g(x) = 2x -  7 - 6x - 3

f(x) + g(x) = -4x - 10

The domain is any real number.

I think you have mixed up the question. None of the choices are correct. They look like they belong to another choice.

It could be f(x)*g(x)

(2x - 7) (-6x - 3)

-12x^2 - 42x - 6x + 32

-12x^2 - 48x + 21

Well it could be either A or C since they are identical.

Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 29 centimeter (cm).

(a) What proportion of rods has a length less than 28.9 cm? (b) b) Any rods that are shorter than 24.84 cm or longer than 25.16 cm are discarded. What proportion of rods will be discarded?

Answers

Solution :

Given data :

The mean length of the steel rod = 29 centimeter (cm)

The standard deviation of a normally distributed lengths of rods = 0.07 centimeter (cm)

a). We are required to find the proportion of rod that have a length of less than 28.9 centimeter (cm).

Therefore, P(x < 28.9) = P(z < (28.9-29) / 0.07)

                                    = P(z < -1.42)

                                   = 0.0778

b). Any rods which is shorter than [tex]24.84[/tex] cm or longer than [tex]25.16[/tex] cm that re discarded.

Therefore,

P (x < 24.84 or 25.16 < x) = P( -59.42 < z or -54.85)

                                         = 1.052

If a 750 ml bottle of juice costs £1.90 and a 1 litre bottle of the same juice costs £2.50 then the 750 ml bottle is better value.

Answers

Answer:

The 1 liter bottle is better value

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 750 ml = £1.90

Cost of 1 liter = £2.50

1000 ml = 1 liter

Cost per 250 ml

750 ml / 3 = £1.90 / 3

250 ml = £0.6333333333333

Approximately,

£ 0.633

Cost per 250 ml

1 liter / 4 = £2.50 / 4

250 ml = £0.625

The 750 ml bottle is not a better value
