21 divided by 8 = 2.625

Then round 2.625

2.630

Next you takeaway everything after 0.030

To get the awnser of 2.6

21 / 8 = ?

21 / 8 = 2.625

2.625 = 2.6

2.6 miles acceleration per second.

I hope this helps!

Given a series, the ratio test implies finding the following limit:

$\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\rvert=r$

If r<1 then the series converges, if r>1 the series diverges and if r=1 the test is inconclusive and we can't assure if the series converges or diverges. So let's see the terms in this limit:

$\begin{gathered} a_n=\frac{2^n}{n5^{n+1}} \\ a_{n+1}=\frac{2^{n+1}}{(n+1)5^{n+2}} \end{gathered}$

Then the limit is:

$\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{n5^{n+1}}{2^n}\cdot\frac{2^{n+1}}{\mleft(n+1\mright)5^{n+2}}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2^{n+1}}{2^n}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{5^{n+1}}{5^{n+2}}\rvert$

We can simplify the expressions inside the absolute value:

$\begin{gathered} \lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2^{n+1}}{2^n}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{5^{n+1}}{5^{n+2}}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2^n\cdot2}{2^n}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{5^n\cdot5}{5^n\cdot5\cdot5}\rvert \\ \lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2^n\cdot2}{2^n}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{5^n\cdot5}{5^n\cdot5\cdot5}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert2\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{1}{5}\rvert \\ \lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert2\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{1}{5}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\rvert \end{gathered}$

Since none of the terms inside the absolute value can be negative we can write this with out it:

$\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}$

Now let's re-writte n/(n+1):

$\frac{n}{n+1}=\frac{n}{n\cdot(1+\frac{1}{n})}=\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{n}}$

Then the limit we have to find is:

$\lim _{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}=\lim _{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{n}}$

Note that the limit of 1/n when n tends to infinite is 0 so we get:

$\lim _{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{n}}=\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{1+0}=\frac{2}{5}=0.4$

So from the test ratio r=0.4 and the series converges. Then the answer is the second option.

What are the factors of the square root of 329

Andru [333]

Answer: $x=-\dfrac{3}{2}, 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^2-10x-26=x-5$

$2x^2-10x-26-x+5=0$ Move all terms to one side

$2x^2-11x-21=0$ Simplify $2{x}^{2}-10x-26-x+5$

$2x^2+3x-14x-21=0$ Split the second term

$x(2x+3)-7(2x+3)=0$ Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

$(2x+3)(x-7)=0$ Factor out the common term $2x+3$

$x=-\dfrac{3}{2}, 7$
