Answer:

And when we apply the limit we got that:

Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this complete problem: "The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit . 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2"
We have the following formula in order to find the sum of cubes:

We can express this formula like this:
![\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}i^3 =\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Clim_%7Bn%5Cto%5Cinfty%7D%20%5Csum_%7Bn%3D1%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7Di%5E3%20%3D%5Clim_%7Bn%5Cto%5Cinfty%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bn%28n%2B1%29%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5E2)
And using this property we need to proof that: 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2
![\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Clim_%7Bn%5Cto%5Cinfty%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bn%28n%2B1%29%7D%7B2%7D%5D%5E2)
If we operate and we take out the 1/4 as a factor we got this:

We can cancel
and we got

We can reorder the terms like this:

We can do some algebra and we got:

We can solve the square and we got:

And when we apply the limit we got that:

Answer:
D. Every real number is also rational.
since we know the endpoints of the circle, we know then that distance from one to another is really the diameter, and half of that is its radius.
we can also find the midpoint of those two endpoints and we'll be landing right on the center of the circle.

If you are solving for b:
-2.6b+4=0.9b-17 <subtract 4 from both sides
-4 -4
-2.6b =0.9b-21 <subtract 0.9b from both sides
-0.9b -0.9b
-3.5b = -21 <divide by -3.5
--------- ------
-3.5 -3.5
b=6
