For the following telescoping series, find a formula for the nth term of the sequence of partial sums {Sn}. Then evaluate limn→[

infinity]Sn to obtain the value of the series or state that the series diverges.
1) ∑[infinity]k = 1(1/k + 1 - 1/k + 2).
2) ∑[infinity]k = 1(1/(k + 6)(k + 7).

Answer:

The following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given value:

1) \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2}\\\\2) \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(k+6)(k+7)}

Solve point 1 that is \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2}\\\\:

when,

k= 1 \to  s_1 = \frac{1}{1+1} - \frac{1}{1+2}\\\\

                  = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\\\\

k= 2 \to  s_2 = \frac{1}{2+1} - \frac{1}{2+2}\\\\

                  = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4}\\\\

k= 3 \to  s_3 = \frac{1}{3+1} - \frac{1}{3+2}\\\\

                  = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5}\\\\

k= n^  \to  s_n = \frac{1}{n+1} - \frac{1}{n+2}\\\\

Calculate the sum (S=s_1+s_2+s_3+......+s_n)

S=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}+.....\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\\\\

   =\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\\\\

When s_n \ \ dt_{n \to 0}

=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{0+1}-\frac{1}{0+2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2}\\\\= 1 -\frac{1}{5}\\\\= \frac{5-1}{5}\\\\= \frac{4}{5}\\\\

\boxed{\text{In point 1:} \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2} =\frac{4}{5}}

In point 2: \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(k+6)(k+7)}

when,

k= 1 \to  s_1 = \frac{1}{(1+6)(1+7)}\\\\

                  = \frac{1}{7 \times 8}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}

k= 2 \to  s_1 = \frac{1}{(2+6)(2+7)}\\\\

                  = \frac{1}{8 \times 9}\\\\= \frac{1}{72}

k= 3 \to  s_1 = \frac{1}{(3+6)(3+7)}\\\\

                  = \frac{1}{9 \times 10} \\\\ = \frac{1}{90}\\\\

k= n^  \to  s_n = \frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)}\\\\

calculate the sum:S= s_1+s_2+s_3+s_n\\

S= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)}\\\\

when s_n \ \ dt_{n \to 0}

S= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{(0+6)(0+7)}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{6 \times 7}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}+\frac{1}{42}\\\\=\frac{45+35+28+60}{2520}\\\\=\frac{168}{2520}\\\\=0.066

\boxed{\text{In point 2:} \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)} = 0.066}

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST<br>What is the value of x in the figure? 1042 (3x – 19)​
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

x = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

We know these angles will be equal to each other (they are across from each other, I honestly forget the term ) so we can set up an equation

Our equation from given: 104 = 3x - 19

Adding 19 to both sides 123 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3: 41 = x

Answer: x = 41

If ABC~DEF what is the length of BC?<br><br> If ABC~DEF what is the length of EF?
marysya [2.9K]

BC would equal the same as EF, they are similar. All you would have to do is figure out the pre image (BC) of EF.
