To find the common ratio, u take ur 2nd term, and divide it by ur 1st term
(-1/6) / (5/12) =
-1/6 * 12/5 =
- 2/5 <== ur common ratio

Use any of the methods to determine whether the series converges or diverges. Give reasons for your answer.
Aleks [24]

Answer:

It means \sum_{n=1}^\inf} = \frac{7n^2-4n+3}{12+2n^6} also converges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual Series is::

\sum_{n=1}^\inf} = \frac{7n^2-4n+3}{12+2n^6}

The method we are going to use is comparison method:

According to comparison method, we have:

\sum_{n=1}^{inf}a_n\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \sum_{n=1}^{inf}b_n

If series one converges, the second converges and if second diverges series, one diverges

Now Simplify the given series:

Taking"n^2"common from numerator and "n^6"from denominator.

=\frac{n^2[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{n^6[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]} \\\\=\frac{[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{n^4[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]}

\sum_{n=1}^{inf}a_n=\sum_{n=1}^{inf}\frac{[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \sum_{n=1}^{inf}b_n=\sum_{n=1}^{inf} \frac{1}{n^4}

Now:

\sum_{n=1}^{inf}a_n=\sum_{n=1}^{inf}\frac{[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]}\\ \\\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = \lim_{n \to \infty}  \frac{[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]}\\=\frac{7-\frac{4}{inf}+\frac{3}{inf}}{\frac{12}{inf}+2}\\\\=\frac{7}{2}

So a_n is finite, so it converges.

Similarly b_n converges according to p-test.

P-test:

General form:

\sum_{n=1}^{inf}\frac{1}{n^p}

if p>1 then series converges. In oue case we have:

\sum_{n=1}^{inf}b_n=\frac{1}{n^4}

p=4 >1, so b_n also converges.

According to comparison test if both series converges, the final series also converges.

It means \sum_{n=1}^\inf} = \frac{7n^2-4n+3}{12+2n^6} also converges.

A the fraction one half kilogram of flour is packed equally into 8 bags. How much flour is in each bag
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

0.0625 kg per bag

or 1/16th of a kilogram per bag

Step-by-step explanation:

You'd need to divide the total amount the the number of sections.

In this case, it'd be 0.5 kg/8 bags, resulting in 0.0625 kg of flour per bag.

I hope this helps!
