Answer: A) 39,366 B) 61

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A) -2, -6, -18, -54, ....

each following term is multiplied by 3 so it is a geometric series

$a_n=-2(3)^{n-1}\\\\\\a_{10}=-2(3)^{10-1}\\.\quad =-2(3)^{9}\\.\quad =-2(19,683)\\.\quad =\boxed{-39,366}$

B) 7, 9, 12, ...

each following term is +n, so it is neither arithmetic or geometric

7 + 2 = 9

9 + 3 = 12

12 + 4 = 16

16 + 5 = 21

21 + 6 = 27

27 + 7 = 34

34 + 8 = 42

42 + 9 = 51

51 + 10 = 61 The 10th term is 61

The function for the cost of materials to make a muffin is f(x) = Three fourths x + 3, where x is the number of muffins. The fun

larisa [96]

So first let’s put g(f(x)) together by putting f(x) for every x in g(x)

We get g(f(x))=3(3/4x+3)+4 which is the selling price equation

Then you plug in 20 to find the selling price for 20 muffins.

g(f(x))=3(3/4(20)+3)+4

g(f(x))=3(60/4+3)+4

g(f(x))=3(18)+4

g(f(x))=54+4

g(f(x))=58

So the selling price will be $58 for 20 muffins.

Express the integral as a limit of Riemann sums. Do not evaluate the limit. (Use the right endpoints of each subinterval as your

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Given definite integral as a limit of Riemann sums is:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum^{n} _{i=1}3[\frac{9}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{36}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{97}{2n}i+22]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given definite integral is:

$\int\limits^7_4 {\frac{x}{2}+x^{3}} \, dx \\f(x)=\frac{x}{2}+x^{3}---(1)\\\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}\\\\\Delta x=\frac{7-4}{n}=\frac{3}{n}\\\\x_{i}=a+\Delta xi\\a= Lower Limit=4\\\implies x_{i}=4+\frac{3}{n}i---(2)\\\\then\\f(x_{i})=\frac{x_{i}}{2}+x_{i}^{3}$

Substituting (2) in above

$f(x_{i})=\frac{1}{2}(4+\frac{3}{n}i)+(4+\frac{3}{n}i)^{3}\\\\f(x_{i})=(2+\frac{3}{2n}i)+(64+\frac{27}{n^{3}}i^{3}+3(16)\frac{3}{n}i+3(4)\frac{9}{n^{2}}i^{2})\\\\f(x_{i})=\frac{27}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{108}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{3}{2n}i+\frac{144}{n}i+66\\\\f(x_{i})=\frac{27}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{108}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{291}{2n}i+66\\\\f(x_{i})=3[\frac{9}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{36}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{97}{2n}i+22]$
