An = a1 * r^(n-1)

-405 = -5*3^(n-1)

3^(n-1) = 81

3^4 = 81  so n-1 = 3  and n =  4

Sn  = S4  =  -5 (1 - 3^4)   / ( 1 - 3)   =  400 / -2 = -200 Answer

1) 5(h + 9) = 55 Distribute _____ to everything in parentheses.
NikAS [45]
9 + h = 55/5
9 + h = 11
11 - 9 = h
2 = h

The opposite of addition is subtraction, Subtract 9 from both sides, The opposite of multiplication is division, divide both sides by 5 is the first step, and final answer is h = 2.

Solve 73 make sure to also define the limits in the parts a and b
Aleks04 [339]

73.

f(x)=\frac{3x^4+3x^3-36x^2}{x^4-25x^2+144}

a)

\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=\lim_{x\to\infty}(\frac{3+\frac{3}{x}-\frac{36}{x^2}}{1-\frac{25}{x^2}+\frac{144}{x^4}})=3\lim_{x\to-\infty}f(x)=\lim_{x\to-\infty}(\frac{3+\frac{3}{x}-\frac{36}{x^2}}{1-\frac{25}{x^2}+\frac{144}{x^4}})=3\cdot\frac{1}{2}=3

b)

Since we can't divide by zero, we need to find when:

x^4-2x^2+144=0

But before, we can factor the numerator and the denominator:

\begin{gathered} \frac{3x^2(x^2+x-12)}{x^4-25x^2+144}=\frac{3x^2((x+4)(x-3))}{(x-3)(x-3)(x+4)(x+4)} \\ so: \\ \frac{3x^2}{(x+3)(x-4)} \end{gathered}

Now, we can conclude that the vertical asymptotes are located at:

\begin{gathered} (x+3)(x-4)=0 \\ so: \\ x=-3 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}

so, for x = -3:

\lim_{x\to-3^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to-3^-}-\frac{162}{x^4-25x^2+144}=-162(-\infty)=\infty\lim_{x\to-3^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to-3^+}-\frac{162}{x^4-25x^2+144}=-162(\infty)=-\infty

For x = 4:

\lim_{x\to4^-}f(x)=\lim_{n\to4^-}\frac{384}{x^4-25x^2+144}=384(-\infty)=-\infty\lim_{x\to4^-}f(x)=\lim_{n\to4^-}\frac{384}{x^4-25x^2+144}=384(-\infty)=-\infty
