Answer:

$Sum=\frac{32}{5}=6.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given geometric series as

$8-2+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}+.......$

we can use infinite sum formula

$sum=\frac{a}{1-r}$

where

a is first term

r is common ratio

so, we have

$a=8$

$r=\frac{-2}{8}$

$r=-\frac{1}{4}$

now, we can plug values

$sum=\frac{8}{1-(-\frac{1}{4})}$

$Sum=\frac{32}{5}=6.4$

The Gross Domestic of a country in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.3299×10×8. GPD=$

krek1111 [17]

The GDP of the country for 2014 is $5.3196 × 10⁸.

<h3>What is multiplication?</h3>

Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.

Given the Gross Domestic of a country in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.3299×10⁸. Therefore, the GDP of the country for that year will be,

GDP = 4 × (Gross Domestic for a single quarter)

= 4 × ($1.3299×10⁸)

= $5.3196 × 10⁸

Hence, the GDP of the country for 2014 is $5.3196 × 10⁸.

What is Limit of StartFraction StartRoot x + 1 EndRoot minus 2 Over x minus 3 EndFraction as x approaches 3?

scoray [572]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} }$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Limits

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c$

Special Limit Rule [L’Hopital’s Rule]:
$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}$

Differentiation

Derivatives
Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$
Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify given limit.

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3}$

Step 2: Find Limit

Let's start out by directly evaluating the limit:

[Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3}$
Evaluate:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3} \\& = \frac{0}{0} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}$

When we do evaluate the limit directly, we end up with an indeterminant form. We can now use L' Hopital's Rule to simply the limit:

[Limit] Apply Limit Rule [L' Hopital's Rule]:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\\end{aligned}$
[Limit] Differentiate [Derivative Rules and Properties]:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}$
[Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}$
Evaluate:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \\& = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} } \\\end{aligned}$

∴ we have evaluated the given limit.
