-10x+4.
5x-7x is -2.
-2x-8x is -10x.
you cannot simplify the 4

alternatively, you could write -10x+4 as
-2(5x-2)

Find a power series representation for the function. (Give your power series representation centered at x = 0.) f(x) = x/6x^2 +

timama [110]

Looks like your function is

$f(x)=\dfrac x{6x^2+1}$

Rewrite it as

$f(x)=\dfrac x{1-(-6x^2)}$

Recall that for $|x|$ , we have

$\dfrac1{1-x}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n$

If we replace $x$ with $-6x^2$ , we get

$f(x)=\displaystyle x\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac(-6x^2)^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-6)^n x^{2n+1}$

By the ratio test, the series converges if

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{(-6)^{n+1} x^{2(n+1)+1}}{(-6)^n x^{2n+1}}\right|=6|x^2|\lim_{n\to\infty}1=6|x|^2$

Solving for $x$ gives the interval of convergence,

$|x|^2$

We can confirm that the interval is open by checking for convergence at the endpoints; we'd find that the resulting series diverge.

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of consumers who would buy the product at it's proposed price is (0.3016, 0.3830).

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so the critical value is z = 1.96.
