I have to rewrite the expressions because they look very confusing.

1) The given fractions to add are:

4p² + 6 2p - 2
------------ + ------------
 4p² 10p²

2) The statements to asses are:

A) The least common denominator is 20p
.
B) The first fraction rewritten with the LCD is (20p² +30) / 20p²

C) The second fraction rewritten with the LCD is (4p - 4) / 20p

D) The sum is (24p² -4p +30 ) / 20p² = (12p-2p+15) / 10p^2

E) The sum is a rational expression.

This is the result for each statement.


A) The least common denominator is 20p

FALSE: THE LCD IS 20p², because it the least expression that contains all the prime factors of both denominators: 4p² and 10p.

See that you cannot divide 20p by 4p² but you can divide 20p² by 4p² and 10 p. So, 20p is not a common denominator.
.
B) The first fraction rewritten with the LCD is (20p² +30) / 20p²

TRUE: you get this expression from the first fraction by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 20p² / 4p² = 5:

(4p² + 6)×5 = 20p² + 30

(4p²)×5 = 20p²

=>

20p² + 30
--------------
 20p²

C) The second fraction rewritten with the LCD is (4p - 4) / 20p

FALSE: you have to multiply both numerator an denominator by 20p² / 10p = 2p

(2p - 2) × 2p = 4p² - 4p

10p × 2p = 20p²

So, the second fraction rewritten with the LCD is:

4p² - 4p
-----------
 20p²

D) The sum is (24p² - 4p +30 ) / 20p² = (12p-2p+15) / 10p²

TRUE


 20p² + 30 4p² - 4p 24p² - 4p + 30
-------------- + --------------- = ----------------------
 20p² 20p² 20p²

And when you simplify the last fraction dividing by 2 you get:

12p² - 2p + 15
-----------------------
 10p²

E) The sum is a rational expression.

TRUE:

The sum of rational number has the closure property which means that by adding rational expression you will always ge a rational expression.

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must make a system of equations, as below:

2. Let's call:

x: the number of first class tickets bought.
y: the number of coach tickets bought.

3. Then, you have:

x+y=7 (First equation)
970x+370y=3790 (Second equation)

x=7-y

4. By substitution, you have:

970x+370y=3790
970(7-y)+370=3790
y=5

x=7-y
x=7-5
x=2

Therefore, the answer is:

- Number of first class tickets bought=2

- Number of coach tickets bought=5

Infinite over E n=1 4(0.5)^n-1

yan [13]

Answer:

S = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

An infinite geometric series is defined as limit of partial sum of geometric sequences. Therefore, to find the infinite sum, we have to find the partial sum first then input limit approaches infinity.

However, fortunately, the infinite geometric series has already set up for you. It’s got the formula for itself which is:

$\displaystyle \large{\lim_{n\to \infty} S_n = \dfrac{a_1}{1-r}}$

We can also write in summation notation rather S-term as:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_1r^{n-1} = \dfrac{a_1}{1-r}}$

Keep in mind that these only work for when |r| < 1 or else it will diverge.

Also, how fortunately, the given summation fits the formula pattern so we do not have to do anything but simply apply the formula in.

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^\infty 4(0.5)^{n-1} = \dfrac{4}{1-0.5}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^\infty 4(0.5)^{n-1} = \dfrac{4}{0.5}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^\infty 4(0.5)^{n-1} = 8}$

Therefore, the sum will converge to 8.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
