For this question, you have to work backwards, so if she ate a cookie, working backwards, you would have to add, not subtract or divide.

Mary had 5 cookies after she gave half away. So 5 is half of something. 5 x 2 = 10. She had 10 cookies before she gave half to her brother.

Before she had 10, she ate one. So you add one to the ten.(Remember, working backwards). 10+1=11.

She had 11 cookies after she gave half. So 11 x 2 = 22.
She had 22 cookies before she gave half away.
She ate one before she had 22. 22+1=23.
We are finished. Mary started with 23 cookies.

Hope you understand! :)

Determine whether the improper integral converges or diverges, and find the value of each that converges.
Temka [501]

Answer:

It diverges.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inetegral:  \int\limits^{\infty}_2 \frac{1}{x} (\ln x)^2 dx

\int\limits^{\infty}_2 \frac{1}{x} (\ln x)^2 dx=\int\limits^{\infty}_2 (\ln x)^2 d(\ln x)=\\\\=\lim_{t \to \infty} \int\limits^t_2 (\ln x)^2d(\ln x)=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{(\ln t)^3}{3} |^t_2=\infty-\frac{(\ln 2)^3}{3} =\infty

So it is divergent.

A cone is cut by a plane parallel to the slant height of the cone. What is the shape of the cross section that is formed?
zimovet [89]
A cross section is a shape formed by cutting an object using a plane. For this case, a cone is sliced parallel to the slant height so the cross section formed would be a plane with a U-like shape. From the image attached, the correct answer is the second option.
