Answer:

total money = 50

money remained = 28

money can be used = 50 - 28 = 22

Max item that can be purchased = 22 ÷ 4 = 5

+ 2 remainder.

items buy = 5

Answer:

5 gifts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Cost of one gift = $4
Total money = $50
Money left after purchasing gifts = at least $28

Let x = greatest number of gifts James can buy

Create an inequality with the given information:

⇒ 50 - 4x ≥ 28

Solve the inequality

Add 4x to both sides:

⇒ 50 - 4x + 4x ≥ 28 + 4x

⇒ 50 ≥ 28 + 4x

Subtract 28 from both sides:

⇒ 50 - 28 ≥ 28 + 4x - 28

⇒ 22 ≥ 4x

Divide both sides by 4

⇒ 22 ÷ 4 ≥ 4x ÷ 4

⇒ 5.5 ≥ x

⇒ x ≤ 5.5

We must round down to 5 as if James buys 6 gifts, he will only have $26 remaining. Therefore, the greatest number of gifts James can buy is 5 gifts.

If k‐th term of a sequence is ak = ( -1) ^k(2-k)k/2k-1

max2010maxim [7]

Given:

kth term of a sequence is

$a_k=\dfrac{(-1)^k(2-k)k}{2k-1}$

To find:

The next term $a_{k+1}$ when k is even.

Solution:

We have,

$a_k=\dfrac{(-1)^k(2-k)k}{2k-1}$

Put k=k+1, to get the next term.

$a_{k+1}=\dfrac{(-1)^{k+1}(2-(k+1))(k+1)}{2(k+1)-1}$

If k is even, then k+1 must be odd and odd power of -1 gives -1.

$a_{k+1}=\dfrac{(-1)(2-k-1)(k+1)}{2k+2-1}$

$a_{k+1}=\dfrac{(-1)(1-k)(1+k)}{2k+1}$

$a_{k+1}=-\dfrac{1^2-k^2}{2k+1}$ $[\because (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2]$

$a_{k+1}=-\dfrac{1-k^2}{2k+1}$

Therefore, the next term is $a_{k+1}=-\dfrac{1-k^2}{2k+1}$ .
