The sum we want is

\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{T_n}}{(2n+1)^2} = 1 - \frac1{3^2} - \frac1{5^2} + \frac1{7^2} + \cdots

where T_n=\frac{n(n+1)}2 is the n-th triangular number, with a repeating sign pattern (+, -, -, +). We can rewrite this sum as

\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(\frac1{(8k+1)^2} - \frac1{(8k+3)^2} - \frac1{(8k+7)^2} + \frac1{(8k+7)^2}\right)

For convenience, I'll use the abbreviations

S_m = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac1{(8k+m)^2}

{S_m}' = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^k}{(8k+m)^2}

for m ∈ {1, 2, 3, …, 7}, as well as the well-known series

\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^k}{k^2} = -\frac{\pi^2}{12}

We want to find S_1-S_3-S_5+S_7.

Consider the periodic function f(x) = \left(x-\frac12\right)^2 on the interval [0, 1], which has the Fourier expansion

f(x) = \frac1{12} + \frac1{\pi^2} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi nx)}{n^2}

That is, since f(x) is even,

f(x) = a_0 + \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n \cos(2\pi nx)

where

a_0 = \displaystyle \int_0^1 f(x) \, dx = \frac1{12}

a_n = \displaystyle 2 \int_0^1 f(x) \cos(2\pi nx) \, dx = \frac1{n^2\pi^2}

(See attached for a plot of f(x) along with its Fourier expansion up to order n = 10.)

Expand the Fourier series to get sums resembling the S'-s :

\displaystyle f(x) = \frac1{12} + \frac1{\pi^2} \left(\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi(8k+1) x)}{(8k+1)^2} + \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi(8k+2) x)}{(8k+2)^2} + \cdots \right. \\ \,\,\,\, \left. + \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi(8k+7) x)}{(8k+7)^2} + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi(8k) x)}{(8k)^2}\right)

which reduces to the identity

\pi^2\left(\left(x-\dfrac12\right)^2-\dfrac{21}{256}\right) = \\\\ \cos(2\pi x) {S_1}' + \cos(4\pi x) {S_2}' + \cos(6\pi x) {S_3}' + \cos(8\pi x) {S_4}'  \\\\ \,\,\,\, + \cos(10\pi x) {S_5}' + \cos(12\pi x) {S_6}' + \cos(14\pi x) {S_7}'

Evaluating both sides at x for x ∈ {1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 7/8} and solving the system of equations yields the dependent solution

\begin{cases}{S_4}' = \dfrac{\pi^2}{256} \\\\ {S_1}' - {S_3}' - {S_5}' + {S_7}' = \dfrac{\pi^2}{8\sqrt 2}\end{cases}

It turns out that

{S_1}' - {S_3}' - {S_5}' + {S_7}' = S_1 - S_3 - S_5 + S_7

so we're done, and the sum's value is \boxed{\dfrac{\pi^2}{8\sqrt2}}.

A hula hoop has an circumference 150.72 cm. What is the area of the hula hoop? (round to the nearest hundredth)
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Area = 1808.64 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Circumference = 150.72

π = 3.14

r = radius

150.72 = 2 x 3.14 x r

150.72 = 6.28 r

r = 150.72/6.28

r = 24cm

Radius = 24

Area of a circle = πr²

Area = 3.14 x 24²

Area = 3.14 x 576

Area =1808.64 cm

A consumer magazine article titled "How Safe Is the Air in Airplanes" reports that the air quality, as quantified by the degree
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  consumer magazine article titled "How Safe Is the Air in Airplanes" reports that the air quality, as quantified by the degree of staleness, was measured on 175 domestic flights.

The purpose was to study about the safety of all flights as a whole.

Since all flights cannot be measured within a reasonable time, a sample of 175 domestic flights were taken.

a) The population of interest here would be the measure of safety of all the airplanes.

b) Sample is the 175 domestic flights selected

c) Characteristics of interest is the safety in travelling by air in Airplanes due to air quality.

Help me Find the answer, Here's the question!
Gelneren [198K]
Because the answers are all in standard form, we can simply look for the intercepts of the graph.

x-int = (-6, 0)
y-int = (0, -2)

You must multiply these numbers by a coefficient to equal 12:

-6y = 12
-2x = 12

Solve both equations by dividing by their values:

y = -2
x = -6

Look for the answer with these coefficients. The answer is -6x - 2y = 12.
