Answer:

4.75 or round up to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

if each pie has 8 slices, then you must do 8+8+8... and so on until u reach 38. However you wont get exactly 38 because 8 doesn't add up evenly into 38. You can find the exact number by divding the amount of people, 38, by the number of slices per pie, 8. The answer will be 4.75 but you can not buy a fraction of a pie so you must round up to 5 whole pies. There will be extra left over in the end, but you cant round down because 4 pies would not be enough, so you must buy 5.

∑∞ n=1 (n^2n)/(1+n)^(3n)
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Given the series,

∑ ∞ n = 1 − 4 ( − 1 / 2 ) n − 1

I think the series is summation from n = 1 to ∞ of -4(-1/2)^(n-1)

So,

∑ − 4 ( − ½ )^(n − 1). From n = 1 to ∞

There are different types of test to show if a series converges or diverges

So, using Ratio test

Lim n → ∞ (a_n+1 / a_n)

Lim n → ∞ (-4(-1/ 2)^(n+1-1) / -4(-1/2)^(n-1))

Lim n → ∞ ((-4(-1/2)^(n) / -4(-1/2)^(n-1))

Lim n → ∞ (-1/2)ⁿ / (-1/2)^(n-1)

Lim n→ ∞ (-1/2)^(n-n+1)

Lim n→ ∞ (-1/2)^1 = -1/2

Since the limit is less than 0, then, the series converge...

Sum to infinity

Using geometric progression formula

S∞ = a / 1 - r

Where

a is first term

r is common ratio

So, first term is

a_1 = -4(-½)^1-1 = -4(-½)^0 = -4 × 1

a_1 = -4

Common ratio r = a_2 / a_1

a_2 = 4(-½)^2-1 = -4(-½)^1 = -4 × -½ = 2

a_2 = 2

Then,

r = a_2 / a_1 = 2 / -4 = -½

S∞ = -4 / 1--½

S∞ = -4 / 1 + ½

S∞ = -4 / 3/2 = -4 × 2 / 3

S∞ = -8 / 3 = -2⅔

The sum to infinity is -2.67 or -2⅔

Which of the following appear in the diagram below?? check all that apply
bulgar [2K]

Check all options:

A. The notion \overleftrightarrow{YX} represents the line YX. As you can see the line YX is present in the diagram.

B. Start with point Z, go to the point X and then to the point Y. You path is along ∠ZXY sides, this means that you can see ∠ZXY on the picture.

C. The notion \overrightarrow{ZX} represents the ray ZX. On the picture is given segment ZX, not ray, then this option is false.

D. To form the ∠XYZ you have to connect points Z and Y. Without this connection ∠XYZ cannot be seen. This option is false.

Answer: True options are A and B.

Can a right triangle be an isosceles triangle?<br><br> A: Always<br> B: Never<br> C: Sometimes
frozen [14]
Yes, a right triangle can be an isosceles triangle sometimes.
C.

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two or more sides of the same length. A right triangle is a triangle that has a right angle, therefore it is possible to have a right isosceles triangle.

If the coefficient ranges from -1.00 to 1.00, what is the strongest negative relationship?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

c) It can be equal to 1.00 but it can also be greater than 1.00. It is never less than 1.00.

Explanation:

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Since speed of the light 'v' in any medium is always be less than or equal to speed of the light in the vacuum 'c', thus, the index of refraction is always be greater than or equal to 1.0.
