Answer:

<u>A cart of groceries that costed US$ 160 in 2005, costs US$ 197.49 in 2010 at an average rate of 4.3% of inflation.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Cost of cart of groceries in 2005 = US$ 160

Period of inflation analysis = 5 years

Inflation average rate = 4.3 % compounded annually

2. Let's find the future value of the cost of a cart of groceries in 2010, using the following formula:

FV = PV * (1 + i) ⁿ

PV = Cost of cart of groceries in 2005 = US$ 160

number of periods (n) = 5 (Period of inflation analysis = 5 years)

Inflation average rate (i) = 4.3% = 0.043

Replacing with the real values, we have:

FV = 160 * (1 + 0.043) ⁵

FV = 160 * (1.043) ⁵

FV = 160 * 1.234302311

FV = 197.49 (Rounding to two decimal places)

Mrs. Owens was making Thanksgiving dinner for 10

saul85 [17]

Well if she is making dinner for 10 people and each person want 2 pieces then you need to multiple 10 x 2 = 20. So she is going to need to make 20 pieces.

If each of her pumpkin pies only has 8 pieces then she is going to have to make 3 pies.

3 pies x 8 pieces = 24 pieces of pumpkin pie. So she has to make 3 pies because she needs 20 pieces since everyone wants 2.

In conclusion Mrs. Owens has to make 3 pies and she is going to have 4 pieces left over.

What is the truth value for the following conditional statement?

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

TT→T

Step-by-step explanation:

If p is false, then ~p is true.

If q is false, then ~q is true.

Now note that

If a and b are both true, then a→b is true.
If a is true, b is false, then a→b is false.
If a is false, b is true, then a→b is true.
If a and b are both false, then a→b is true.

In your case, both~p and ~q are true, then ~p→~q is true too (or TT→T)

(a) Use the definition to find an expression for the area under the curve y = x3 from 0 to 1 as a limit. lim n→∞ n i = 1 Correct

Luba_88 [7]

Splitting up the interval of integration into $n$ subintervals gives the partition

$\left[0,\dfrac1n\right],\left[\dfrac1n,\dfrac2n\right],\ldots,\left[\dfrac{n-1}n,1\right]$

Each subinterval has length $\dfrac{1-0}n=\dfrac1n$ . The right endpoints of each subinterval follow the sequence

$r_i=\dfrac in$

with $i=1,2,3,\ldots,n$ . Then the left-endpoint Riemann sum that approximates the definite integral is

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{{r_i}^3}n$

and taking the limit as $n\to\infty$ gives the area exactly. We have

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n\left(\frac in\right)^3=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4n^3}=\boxed{\frac14}$
