<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.

PLEASE HELP!!! I don’t understand

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the half angle identity for cosine:

cos(x/2)=+ or - sqrt(1+cos(x))/sqrt(2)

I'm going to figure out the sign part first for cos(x/2)...

so x is in third quadrant which puts x between 180 and 270

if we half x, x/2 this puts us between 90 and 135 (that's the second quadrant)

cosine is negative in the second quadrant

so we know that

cos(x/2)=-sqrt(1+cos(x))/sqrt(2)

Now we need cos(x)... since we are in the third quadrant cos(x) is negative...

If you draw a reference triangle sin(x)=3/5 you should see that cos(x)=4/5 ... but again cos(x)=-4/5 since we are in the third quadrant.

So let's plug it in:

cos(x/2)=-sqrt(1+4/5)/sqrt(2)

No one likes compound fractions (mini-fractions inside bigger fractions)

Multiply top and bottom inside the square roots by 5.

cos(x/2)=-sqrt(5+4)/sqrt(10)

cos(x/2)=-sqrt(9)/sqrt(10)

cos(x/2)=-3/sqrt(10)

Rationalize the denominator

cos(x/2)=-3sqrt(10)/10

Find the volume of a half sphere with a radius of 10
Ugo [173]
The volume of a sphere is calculated like so:
v = 4*pi*r^3/3
so half sphere will have half that volume:
v = (<span>4*pi*r^3/3)(1/2)
</span>v = <span>4*pi*r^3/6
</span>plug in the data:
v = <span>4*pi*(10)^3/6
</span>v = 2094.4
that is the volume of the half sphere

10 less than 5 times a number is less than 6 times the number decreased by eight
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The Answer is: the Number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number.

Five times the number minus 10 is less than 6 times the number minus eight:

5n - 10 = 6n - 8

-1n = -8 + 10

-n = 2

n = -2, the value of the number is -2.

Proof:

5(-2) - 10 = 6(-2) - 8

-10 - 10 = -12 - 8

-20 = -20

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
