Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 10 dimes to make $1; this means $100 is

100(10) = 1000 dimes.

Each dime weighs 2.27 grams; this means 100 dimes is 100(2.27) = 2270 grams.

1 kilogram is 1000 grams; this gives us

2270/1000 = 2.27 kg

Each kilogram is 2.20462 pounds; this means we have

2.27(2.20462) = 5.0044874

This is a little over 5 pounds; yes, the average person can lift this.

$1=10 dimes
$100=10*100=1000 dimes
2.27g*1000=2.27 kg
yes, the average person can

Find the sum of series 4/(4n-3) (4n+1)

ANTONII [103]

$\dfrac4{(4n-3)(4n+1)}=\dfrac1{4n-3}-\dfrac1{4n-1}$

Assuming the sum starts at $n=1$ , the $N$ th partial sum is

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N\left(\frac1{4n-3}-\frac1{4n-1}\right)=\left(1-\frac15\right)+\left(\frac15-\frac19\right)+\cdots+\left(\frac1{4N-7}-\frac1{4N-3}\right)+\left(\frac1{4N-3}-\frac1{4N+1}\right)$
$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N\left(\frac1{4n-3}-\frac1{4n-1}\right)=1-\frac1{4N-1}$

As $N\to\infty$ , you're left with simply 1.

I believe this is true....lets say the plane takes off and goes up 500 ft.....it circles, but then it has to come back down...land...so it comes down 500 ft...
500 - 500 = 0
