Answer:

Absolute value is a number's distance from 0, so when comparing quantities, such as positive and negative, the greater absolute value is of that number.

For ex:

|-11| > |6| , because |-11| = 11, |6| = 6, and 11 > 6.

So, |-11| > |6|

Determine if the function is continuous to its domain

Maurinko [17]

Yes, it is continuous to its domain

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

In order to find the domain of the function we need to get the restrictions:

1. From natural log:

$x>0$

2. From quotient:

$x\neq 0$

Matching these two restrictions the domain is:

$x\in (0,\infty)$

So the function is continuous to its domain because is defined for every x-value in the interval $(0, \infty)$ )

What is the sum of the first 5 terms of geometric series with a1=10 and r=1/5

steposvetlana [31]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=10\\
n=5\\
r=\frac{1}{5}
\end{cases}$

$\bf S_5=10\left( \cfrac{1-\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)^5}{1-\frac{1}{5}} \right)\implies S_5=10\left( \cfrac{1-\frac{1}{3125}}{\frac{4}{5}} \right)
\\\\\\
S_5=10\left( \cfrac{\frac{3124}{3125}}{\frac{4}{5}} \right)\implies S_5=10\cdot \cfrac{781}{625}\implies S_5=\cfrac{1562}{125}$

Which decimal is equivalent to 6×100+7×10+4×1/10+8×1/1,000

Snezhnost [94]

The answer is 670.408, because 6x100=600, 7x10=70, 4x1/10 as a decimal is 0.4, 8x1/1,000 as a decimal is 0.008. Then, you add all of those $600+70+0.4+0.008=670.408$ .
