Answer:

17 adult shirts were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

x = adult shirts and y = children shirts

x + y = 40......adult shirts + child shirts = 40 total shirts

17x + 13y = 588...$ 17 for each adult shirt (x) + $ 13 for each child shirt (y) = $ 588

these are the equations we will be using.

now lets rearrange the first one....x + y = 40......x = 40 - y.....now sub 40 - y in for x back into the second equation

17x + 13y = 588

17(40 - y) + 13y = 588

680 - 17y + 13y = 588

-17y + 13y = 588 - 680

-4y = - 92

y = -92/-4

y = 23 <=== so there were 23 child shirts sold

x + y = 40

x + 23 = 40

x = 40 - 23

x = 17 <===== and 17 adult shirts sold

check...

17x + 13y = 588

17(17) + 13(23) = 588

289 + 299 = 588

588 = 588 (correct)

Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. If it converges, give the limit.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The given series converges and \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is 108, -18, 3,...

It is an alternate series. An alternate series is convergent if:

1. The series is decreasing.

2. If the last term (n-th term) of series converges to 0.

<u>Since each next term is less than its preceding term, so it is decreasing.</u>

First term, a = 108

Second term = -18

Common ratio, r = -18/108 = -1/6

General term, aₙ = a*rⁿ = 108*(-1/6)ⁿ

<u>When n increases to infinity, the exponent term will decreases to zero, and last term (n-th term) will converge to 0 as well.</u>

Hence, the given series converges.

Now limit will be: \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n

\lim_{n \to \infty} 108*(-1/6)^n \\= 108*(-1/6)^\infty \\= 108*(1/\infty) \\= 108*0 \\= 0

Hence, \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n =0
