Answer:

= 3 (3x + 5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the GCF of 9 and 15 which would be 3. Then the GCF which is 3 is placed on the left of the parentheses. then you plug in the numbers. So 9x divided by 3 is 3x, and 15y divided by 3 is 5y.

Factor the expression 9x+15y using the GCF.

$\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}$

First, let's find the GCF of this expression.

Expressions, like numbers, have GCF's, and we're asked to find it.

The factors of the first term, 9x, are:-

1, x, 3

The factors of the second term, 15y, are:-

1, y, 3, 5

Common factors:-

1, 3

Greatest common factor (GCF):-

3

So we divide both terms by 3:-

3(3x+5y)

<h3>Good luck.</h3>

Find a power series for the function, centered at c, and determine the interval of convergence. f(x) = 9 3x + 2 , c = 6

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$\frac{9}{3x + 2} = 1 - \frac{1}{3}(x - \frac{7}{3}) + \frac{1}{9}(x - \frac{7}{3})^2 - \frac{1}{27}(x - \frac{7}{3})^3 ........$

The interval of convergence is: $(-\frac{2}{3},\frac{16}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)= \frac{9}{3x+ 2}$

$c = 6$

The geometric series centered at c is of the form:

$\frac{a}{1 - (r - c)} = \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}a(r - c)^n, |r - c| < 1.$

Where:

$a \to$ first term

$r - c \to$ common ratio

We have to write

$f(x)= \frac{9}{3x+ 2}$

In the following form:

$\frac{a}{1 - r}$

So, we have:

$f(x)= \frac{9}{3x+ 2}$

Rewrite as:

$f(x) = \frac{9}{3x - 18 + 18 +2}$

$f(x) = \frac{9}{3x - 18 + 20}$

Factorize

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{9}(3x + 2)}$

Open bracket

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{9}}$

Rewrite as:

$f(x) = \frac{1}{1- 1 + \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{9}}$

Collect like terms

$f(x) = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{9}- 1}$

Take LCM

$f(x) = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2-9}{9}}$

$f(x) = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{7}{9}}$

So, we have:

$f(x) = \frac{1}{1 -(- \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{7}{9})}$

By comparison with: $\frac{a}{1 - r}$

$a = 1$

$r = -\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{7}{9}$

$r = -\frac{1}{3}(x - \frac{7}{3})$

At c = 6, we have:

$r = -\frac{1}{3}(x - \frac{7}{3}+6-6)$

Take LCM

$r = -\frac{1}{3}(x + \frac{-7+18}{3}+6-6)$

r = -\frac{1}{3}(x + \frac{11}{3}+6-6)

So, the power series becomes:

$\frac{9}{3x + 2} = \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}ar^n$

Substitute 1 for a

$\frac{9}{3x + 2} = \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}1*r^n$

$\frac{9}{3x + 2} = \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}r^n$

Substitute the expression for r

$\frac{9}{3x + 2} = \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}(-\frac{1}{3}(x - \frac{7}{3}))^n$

Expand

$\frac{9}{3x + 2} = \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}[(-\frac{1}{3})^n* (x - \frac{7}{3})^n]$

Further expand:

$\frac{9}{3x + 2} = 1 - \frac{1}{3}(x - \frac{7}{3}) + \frac{1}{9}(x - \frac{7}{3})^2 - \frac{1}{27}(x - \frac{7}{3})^3 ................$

The power series converges when:

$\frac{1}{3}|x - \frac{7}{3}| < 1$

Multiply both sides by 3

$|x - \frac{7}{3}|$

Expand the absolute inequality

$-3 < x - \frac{7}{3}$

Solve for x

$\frac{7}{3} -3 < x$

Take LCM

$\frac{7-9}{3} < x$

$-\frac{2}{3} < x$

The interval of convergence is: $(-\frac{2}{3},\frac{16}{3})$
