Answer:

the magnitude of the error is 2.9959 × 10⁻⁹

Step-by-step explanation:

By Alternating series estimation theorem

\sum ^{\infty}_{n=1}(-1)^{n+1}a_n=a_1-a_2+a_3-a_4...+a_n is satisfies

(i) a_n +1\leq a_n for all n

(ii) \lim_{\rightarrow \infty}a_n=0

The formula for magnitude of error is

|R_n|=|s-s_n|\leq a_n+1

Let a_n = \frac{(0.08)^n}{n}

We can see \frac{(0.08)^n^+^1}{n} \leq \frac{(0,08)^n}{n}

For all n ∈ N

That means b_{n+1}\leq b_n for all   n ∈ N

\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}a_n=\lim(\frac{(0.08)^n}{n} )\\\\=\frac{(0.08)^{\infty}}{\infty}

\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}a_n =0

The alternating series estimation theorem is |R_s| = |s-s_n|\leq a_{n+1}

After stop adding the term with n = 6

the series tells that the error is smaller than the term with a

Therefore

a_7 = \frac{(0.08)^7}{7} \\\\= \frac{20.97152}{7} \times 10^-^9\\\\=2.9959\times10^-^9

the magnitude of the error is 2.9959 × 10⁻⁹

Sort the following functions from asymptotically smallest to asymptotically largest, indicating ties if there are any. You do no
Serhud [2]

Answer:

b. n

d. 2^lgn

c. n^2.1

a. 4^2lgn

Step-by-step explanation:

Logarithm is a function of mathematics which is used to calculate inverse function of exponents. The asymptotically smallest function will be the one that has smallest or no exponents. The exponent function is calculated in reverse when log is applied. The function with highest exponents will be largest asymptotically.

Write an inequality for people younger than 8 get in for $45
Tema [17]

Answer:

8 ≤ $45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

People younger than 8 get in for $45.

Now we can assume that the cost given might be to enter in the garden or might be in fair or might be at museum or might be at a zoo which is $45 for people which are younger than 8.

Now we can say for people younger than 8 means people or children who are of 8 years or who are below 8 years or say less than 8 years.

Hence we can say people who are less than or equal to 8 get in for $45

So the inequality equation becomes.

8 ≤ $45
