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}

A retailer buys a coat in bulk at a unit price of $45. The coat is marked up to 28% to sell in the store. What is the price of t
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

57.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If the coat is marked up 28%, then the cost is increased by 28% to produce the selling price.

SP = 45 + 28/100 * 45

SP = Selling Price

SP = 45 + 28*45 / 100

SP = 45 + 1260 / 100

SP = 45 + 12.60

SP = 57.60

Answer: The selling price is 57.60

Find surface area of a rectangle
fgiga [73]
In order to find the surface area of a rectangle:

-- Find or measure the length of the rectangle.

-- Find or measure the width of the rectangle.

-- Make sure both quantities are in the same units. 
If they're not, then convert one or the other so that they are.

-- Multiply the two numbers.

The product is the area of the rectangle, in units of
square-(the unit in which the dimensions are measured).

Bob and mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their age is 72. He gives another clue: the sum o
Bingel [31]
Possible Ages      Sum of The Ages 1  2  36                      391  4  18                      231  8  9                        181  3  24                      282  3  12                      172  4  9                        152  6  6                        142  2  18                      223  3  8                        143  4  6                        13

The sum has to be 14. So it can be 2, 6, and 6 or 3, 3, and 8.
But it cannot be 3, 3, and 8 because the youngest cannot be a twin.

So it is 2, 6, and 6.

Hope this helps :)

The equivalence of the equation is 5x + 48 = 5x + 3.

Since 48 cannot be equal to 3, hence there are no solution.

<h3>What is the value of x?</h3>

Given the equation; x-4[ x - 2( x + 6) ] = 5x + 3

We remove the parentheses

x-4[ x - 2( x + 6) ] = 5x + 3

x-4[ x - 2x - 12 ] = 5x + 3

x - 4x + 8x + 48 = 5x + 3

5x + 48 = 5x + 3

We can go further and collect like terms

5x - 5x + 48 = 3

48 ≠ 3

Since 48 cannot be equal to 3, hence there are no solution.
