Answer:

<h2>A. The series CONVERGES</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If \sum a_n is a series, for the series to converge/diverge according to ratio test, the following conditions must be met.

\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n}| = \rho

If \rho < 1, the series converges absolutely

If \rho > 1, the series diverges

If \rho = 1, the test fails.

Given the series \sum\left\ {\infty} \atop {1} \right \frac{n^2}{5^n}

To test for convergence or divergence using ratio test, we will use the condition above.

a_n = \frac{n^2}{5^n} \\a_n_+_1 = \frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}

\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} =  \frac{{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}}}{\frac{n^2}{5^n} }\\\\ \frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\

\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n^2+2n+1)}{5^n*5^1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\\

aₙ₊₁/aₙ =

\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2+2n+1}{5n^2}| \\\\Dividing\ through\ by \ n^2\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2/n^2+2n/n^2+1/n^2}{5n^2/n^2}|\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{1+2/n+1/n^2}{5}|\\\\

note that any constant dividing infinity is equal to zero

|\frac{1+2/\infty+1/\infty^2}{5}|\\\\

\frac{1+0+0}{5}\\ = 1/5

\rho = 1/5

Since The limit of the sequence given is less than 1, hence the series converges.

Which function has a constant additive rate of change of 14
Maurinko [17]

The first graph function has a constant additive rate of change of -1/4.

From the figure:

First of all when we talk about a rate of change that means a linear relation between variables, which is proper of a linear function represented by the first function showed in the image.

In the first graph we can observe that the x variable increases and y - variable decrease.

rate of change = slope = -1/4

from first graph take any two points.

(2,1) and (-2,2)

slope = 2 - 1 / -2-2

= 1/-4

= -1/4

Pls help me on this math question.I am really confused
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

640 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider 4 seconds to be 1 time unit. Then 8 more seconds is 2 more time units, for a total of 3 time units.

The distance is proportional to the square of the number of time units. After 1 time unit, the distance is 1² × 80 m. Then after 3 time units, the distance will be 3² × 80 m = 720 m.

In the additional 2 time units (8 seconds), the ball dropped an additional

... (720 -80) m = 640 m

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You can write the equation for the proportionality and find the constant that goes into it. If we use seconds (not 4-second intervals) as the time unit, then we can say ...

... d = kt²

Filling in the information related to the first 4 seconds, we have ...

... 80 = k(4)²

... 80/16 = k = 5

Then the distance equation becomes ...

... d = 5t²

After 12 seconds (the first 4 plus the next 8), the distance will be ...

... d = 5×12² = 5×144 = 720 . . . meters

That is, the ball dropped an additional 720 -80 = 640 meters in the 12 -4 = 8 seconds after the first data point.
