How to solve and respond.

Mathematics
1 answer:
son4ous [18]2 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the error:

it is stated that

\frac{5x}{x+7} +\frac{7}{x} = \frac{5x}{x+7} +\frac{7(7)}{x+7}

subtract (5x)/(x+7) from both sides

\frac{7}{x}  = \frac{7(7)}{x+7}

multiply both sides by x + 7

7(x+7) = 49x

7x + 49 = 49x

subtract 7x from both sides to isolate x and its coefficient

49 = 42x

thus, this is only true when 49 = 42x. in order for these two equations to be equal, they must <em>always </em>be true, so this is wrong

the solution:

we want to express 7/x as (something) / (x+7). to do this, we can multiply 7/x  by 1.

anything divided by itself = 1. thus, if we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by something that turns x into (x+7), we can do what we want to do.

(x+7)/x * x turns x into (x+7), so we multiply both the numerator and denominator by (x+7)/x to get

\frac{7}{x} = \frac{7(x+7)/x}{x+7}

substitute this for 7/x in our original problem

\frac{5x}{x+7} +\frac{7(x+7)/x}{x+7} =  \frac{5x}{x+7} +\frac{(7x+49)/x}{x+7} = \frac{5x}{x+7} +\frac{7+49/x}{x+7} = \frac{5x+7+49/x}{x+7}

What is the area of the trapezoid? A trapezoid has a base of 20 feet, a height of 24 feet, and a top side length of 16 feet. 368
sesenic [268]

Answer: the area of the trapezoid is 432 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of cross section of a trapezoid is expressed as

Area = 1/2(a + b)h

Where

a and b are the length of The bases are the 2 sides of the trapezoid which are parallel with one another.

h represents the height of the trapezoid.

From the information given,

a = 16 feet

b = 20 feet

h = 24 feet

Therefore,

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(16 + 20)24

= 1/2 × 36 × 24

= 432feet²

Which of the following series are convergent?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

All of them

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the ratio test, for a series ∑aₙ:

If lim(n→∞) |aₙ₊₁ / aₙ| < 1, then ∑aₙ converges.

If lim(n→∞) |aₙ₊₁ / aₙ| > 1, then ∑aₙ diverges.

(I) aₙ = 10 / n!

lim(n→∞) |(10 / (n+1)!) / (10 / n!)|

lim(n→∞) |(10 / (n+1)!) × (n! / 10)|

lim(n→∞) |n! / (n+1)!|

lim(n→∞) |1 / (n+1)|

0 < 1

This series converges.

(II) aₙ = n / 2ⁿ

lim(n→∞) |((n+1) / 2ⁿ⁺¹) / (n / 2ⁿ)|

lim(n→∞) |((n+1) / 2ⁿ⁺¹) × (2ⁿ / n)|

lim(n→∞) |(n+1) / (2n)|

1/2 < 1

This series converges.

(III) aₙ = 1 / (2n)!

lim(n→∞) |(1 / (2(n+1))!) / (1 / (2n)!)|

lim(n→∞) |(1 / (2n+2)!) × (2n)! / 1|

lim(n→∞) |(2n)! / (2n+2)!|

lim(n→∞) |1 / ((2n+2)(2n+1))|

0 < 1

This series converges.
