Answer:

0.708

Step-by-step explanation:

A great way to solve for probability is to create a fraction.

In our case, we can see that 17 out of 24 times they made it.

17/24 is our fraction.

Since the viniculum in a fraction represents division, we really have 17 divided by 24.

That is 0.7083.....

Rounding gives 0.708 as our final answer.

Youd take two times nine and get 18 so it would be 18.55

I found the interval of convergence, but I am not sure how to do the second part, finding the sum of the series as a function of

antiseptic1488 [7]

The given series is geometric with common ratio $6^x - 9$ , which converges if $|6^x - 9|$ (i.e. the interval of convergence). We have the well-known result

$\displaystyle |r| < 1 \implies \sum_{n=0}^\infty ar^n = \frac{a}{1-r}$

If you're not familiar with that result, it's easy to reproduce.

Let $S_N$ be the $N$ -th partial sum of the infinite series,

$\displaystyle S_N = \sum_{n=0}^N \left(6^x - 9\right)^n = 1 + \left(6^x - 9\right) + \left(6^x - 9\right)^2 + \cdots + \left(6^x - 9\right)^N$

Multiply both sides by the ratio.

$\left(6^x - 9\right) S_N = \left(6^x - 9\right) + \left(6^x - 9\right)^2 + \left(6^x - 9\right)^3 + \cdots + \left(6^x - 9\right)^{N+1}$

Subtract this from $S_N$ to eliminate all the powers of the ratio between 0 and $N+1$ .

$\left(1 - \left(6^x - 9\right)\right) S_N = 1 - \left(6^x - 9\right)^{N+1}$

Solve for $S_N$ .

$S_N = \dfrac{1 - \left(6^x - 9\right)^{N+1}}{10-6^x}$

Now as $N\to\infty$ , the exponential term converges to 0 and we're left with

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(6^x-9\right)^n = \lim_{N\to\infty} S_N = \boxed{\frac1{10-6^x}}$

Answer:

The rate is 15 minutes per meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 9 minutes to fill a depth of meters.

Filling meters take 9 minutes time.

Filling 3 meters of the aquarium takes = 45 minutes time (Multiplying by 5 both the numbers).

In order to fill 1 meter of the aquarium it will take minutes (Dividing by 3 both the numerical values).
