Solve this problem 3 1/2 x = -5

1 answer:

8 0

To solve this
First I would change the mixed number on the right side of the equation to an improper fraction
7/2 x=-5
Then I would multiply both sides by 2/7
x=-10/7

zvonat [6]

Answer:

The vertical line test is a test where you draw vertical lines on a function that is graphed to see it is a function or not a function. It is used like this if you draw a vertical lines on a graphed function and it hits two points it is not a function but if it only hits one points on the graphed function then it is a function.

Answer:

1003

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is a classic example of a telescoping series of products, a series in which each term is represented in a certain form such that the multiplication of most of the terms results in a massive cancelation of subsequent terms within the numerators and denominators of the series.

The simplest form of a telescoping product $a_{k} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{k}}{t_{k+1}}$ , in which the products of n terms is

$a_{1} \ \times \ a_{2} \ \times \ a_{3} \ \times \ \cdots \times \ a_{n-1} \ \times \ a_{n} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{1}}{t_{2}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{2}}{t_{3}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{3}}{t_{4}} \ \times \ \cdots \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{n-1}}{t_{n}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{n}}{t_{n+1}} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.55cm} = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{1}}{t_{n+1}}.$ .

In this particular case, $t_{1} \ = \ 2$ , $t_{2} \ = \ 3$ , $t_{3} \ = \ 4$ , ..... , in which each term follows a recursive formula of $t_{n+1} \ = \ t_{n} \ + \ 1$ . Therefore,

$\displaystyle\frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{3}}{t_{2}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{4}}{t_{3}} \times \cdots \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{n}}{t_{n-1}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{n+1}}{t_{n}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{3}{2} \times \displaystyle\frac{4}{3} \times \displaystyle\frac{5}{4} \times \cdots \times \displaystyle\frac{2005}{2004} \times \displaystyle\frac{2006}{2005} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.95cm} = \ \displaystyle\frac{2006}{2} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.95cm} = 1003$
