For the following telescoping series, find a formula for the nth term of the sequence of partial sums

I'm guessing the sum is supposed to be

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}

Split the summand into partial fractions:

\dfrac1{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\dfrac a{5k-1}+\dfrac b{5k+4}

1=a(5k+4)+b(5k-1)

If k=-\frac45, then

1=b(-4-1)\implies b=-\frac15

If k=\frac15, then

1=a(1+4)\implies a=\frac15

This means

\dfrac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\dfrac2{5k-1}-\dfrac2{5k+4}

Consider the nth partial sum of the series:

S_n=2\left(\dfrac14-\dfrac19\right)+2\left(\dfrac19-\dfrac1{14}\right)+2\left(\dfrac1{14}-\dfrac1{19}\right)+\cdots+2\left(\dfrac1{5n-1}-\dfrac1{5n+4}\right)

The sum telescopes so that

S_n=\dfrac2{14}-\dfrac2{5n+4}

and as n\to\infty, the second term vanishes and leaves us with

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\frac17

Verify sin2θ/1+cos2θ =tanθ
Andrej [43]

Answer:

LHS.= Sin 2x /( 1 + cos2x )

We have , sin 2x = 2 sinx•cosx

And. cos2x = 2cos^2 x - 1

i.e . 1+ cosx 2x = 2cos^2x

Putting the above results in the LHSwe get,

Sin2x/ ( 1+ cos2x ) =2 sinx•cosx/2cos^2x

=sinx / cosx

= Tanx

.•. sin2x/(1 + cos2x)= tanx

Using the approximation 3.14 for \pi what is the radius of a circle with circumference 75.4m
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The radius of the circle is 12.006 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the radius of the circle = r

Circumference  = 75.4 m

Now, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE = 2 π r

⇒ 75 .4 m = 2 π r

Now, putting  π = 3.14, we get:

75 .4 m = 2 (3.14)  r

⇒ 75.4 = 6. 28 r

or, r = 75.4/6.28 =  12.006

or, r  = 12.006 m

Hence, the radius of the circle with circumference 75.4 m is 12.006 m.
