The distance that the boat can travel in one hour
=438km/8h
=54.75km/h
The boat can travel in 5 hours
=(54.75*5)km
=273.75km
Answer:
The statement in the question is wrong. The series actually diverges.
Step-by-step explanation:
We compute
![\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n^2}{(n+1)^2}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\frac{n^2}{n^2+2n+1}\cdot\frac{1/n^2}{1/n^2}\right)=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1{1+2/n+1/n^2}=\frac1{1+0+0}=1\ne0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clim_%7Bn%5Cto%5Cinfty%7D%5Cfrac%7Bn%5E2%7D%7B%28n%2B1%29%5E2%7D%3D%5Clim_%7Bn%5Cto%5Cinfty%7D%5Cleft%28%5Cfrac%7Bn%5E2%7D%7Bn%5E2%2B2n%2B1%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B1%2Fn%5E2%7D%7B1%2Fn%5E2%7D%5Cright%29%3D%5Clim_%7Bn%5Cto%5Cinfty%7D%5Cfrac1%7B1%2B2%2Fn%2B1%2Fn%5E2%7D%3D%5Cfrac1%7B1%2B0%2B0%7D%3D1%5Cne0)
Therefore, by the series divergence test, the series
diverges.
EDIT: To VectorFundament120, if
is a sequence, both
and
are common notation for its limit. The former is not wrong but I have switched to the latter if that helps.
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer:
0.9562
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability is mathematically expressed as:
![P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28X%3Dx%29%3D%7Bn%5Cchoose%20x%7Dp%5Ex%281-p%29%5E%7Bn-x%7D)
Given that p=0.18, n=5 , is calculated as:
![P(X\leq 2)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)\\\\={5\choose 0}0.18^0(1-0.18)^5+{5\choose 1}0.18^1(1-0.18)^4+{5\choose 2}0.18^2(1-0.18)^3\\\\=0.3707+0.4069+0.1786\\\\=0.9562](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28X%5Cleq%202%29%3DP%280%29%2BP%281%29%2BP%282%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%7B5%5Cchoose%200%7D0.18%5E0%281-0.18%29%5E5%2B%7B5%5Cchoose%201%7D0.18%5E1%281-0.18%29%5E4%2B%7B5%5Cchoose%202%7D0.18%5E2%281-0.18%29%5E3%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.3707%2B0.4069%2B0.1786%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.9562)
Hence, the probability of no more than 2 successes in 5 trials is 0.9562
Answer:
12.
Square root = 37,
Step-by-step explanation:
40^2 = 1600
35^2 = 30 * 40 + 25 = 1225
So the requred square is between 35 and 40
38^2 = 1444
37^2 = 1369 - so its this one.
Required difference = 1381 - 1369 = 12.
