Answer:

-37x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficients have the sequence ...

-2, -7, -12, ...

which has first term -2 and common difference of (-7 -(-2)) = -5. Then the 8th x-coefficient is ...

-2 + (-5)(8 -1) = -37

The constants have the sequence ...

5, 8, 11, ...

which has first term 5 and common difference 8 -5 = 3. Then the 8th constant term is ...

5 +(3)(8 -1) = 26

The 8th term of the sequence is -37x +26.

_____

The general term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...

an = a1 +d(n -1)

In the above, we have used n=8 to find the 8th term.

Given that the series kcoskt kº +2 k=1 converges, suppose that the 3rd partial sum of the series is used to estimate the sum of

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$\sum \limits ^{\infty}_{k=1} \dfrac{kcos (k\pi)}{k^3+2}$

since cos (kπ) = $-1^k$

Then, the series can be expressed as:

$\sum \limits ^{\infty}_{k=1} \dfrac{(-1)^kk)}{k^3+2}$

In the sum of an alternating series, the best bound on the remainder for the approximation is related to its $(n+1)^{th$ term.

∴

$\sum \limits ^{\infty}_{k=1} \dfrac{(-1)^{(3+1)}(3+1))}{(3+1)^3+2}$

$\sum \limits ^{\infty}_{k=1} \dfrac{(-1)^{(4)}(4))}{(4)^3+2}$

$= \dfrac{4}{64+2}$

$=\dfrac{2}{33}$

A ball is floating partially submerged in a liquid. Which quantity equals the buoyant force acting on the ball? mass of the ball

REY [17]

For something to float the buoyant force ( force pushing up on the object to keep it floating) needs to equal the weight of the object

the answer would be: <span>weight of the ball</span>
