<h3>Answer:  101/200</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Each term multiplied out is of the form 1 - 1/(k^2) which we can write as 1^2 - (1/k)^2

Note we have something in the form a^2 - b^2 with a = 1 and b = 1/k

So  

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = (1 - 1/k)(1 + 1/k)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]

----------------

Let P = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]  represent the kth term we are dealing with

Then let Q be the term just after term P, so it's the (k+1) term

To form term Q, replace every k with k+1

Q =  [ (k+1 - 1)/(k+1) ] * [ (k+1 + 1)/(k+1) ]

Q = [ k/(k+1) ] * [ (k+2)/(k+1) ]

----------------

Let's multiply P and Q to find out what happens . See figure 1 in the attached images below.

As figure 1 shows, we see that the middle terms cancel out. This will happen when we multiply P*Q*R, where R is the term just after Q. Extend this idea out as far as you want and each time the middle terms will pair up and cancel.

All that's left are the first and last terms, which are

1 - 1/2 = 1/2

and

1 + 1/100 = 101/100

They multiply to 101/200

----------------

Figure 2 (also attached as an image) shows a longer way to do the problem. Basically I expanded out a bunch of terms to multiply, and then show how we have various terms pair up and cancel, in basically the same way as explained above. What's left are the first and last terms 1/2 and 101/100 which multiply to 101/200.

Fill in the blanks to rewrite the following statement with variables: Given any positive real number, there is a positive real n
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a) there is s such that <u>r>s</u> and s is <u>positive</u>

b) For any <u>r>0</u> , <u>there exists s>0</u> such that s<r

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We are given a positive real number r. We need to wite that there is a positive real number that is smaller. Call that number s. Then r>s (this is equivalent to s<r, s is smaller than r) and s is positive (or s>0 if you prefer). We fill in the blanks using the bold words.

b) The last part claims that s<r, that is, s is smaller than r. We know that this must happen for all posirive real numbers r, that is, for any r>0, there is some positive s such that s<r. In other words, there exists s>0 such that s<r.

I AM VERY DESPERATE NOW!!! I HAVE ASKED THIS SAME QUESTION 3 TIMES AND NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER IT. PLEASE HELP, SOMEONE!!
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Interest rate is 5.25% a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

r = (1/54)((22252.5/18000) - 1) = 0.004375

r = 0.004375

Convert decimal to percentage

R = 0.004375 * 100 = 0.4375%/month

Calculate annual rate

0.4375%/month × 12 months/year = 5.25% per year.
