Step-by-step explanation:

Since the above sequence is a geometric sequence

For an nth term in a geometric sequence

That's

$A(n) = a( {r})^{n - 1}$

where

r is the common ratio

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

From the question

a = 4.05

r = 1.35 / 4.05 = 0.33

Substitute the values into the above formula

We have

$A(n) = 4.05( {0.33})^{n - 1}$

Hope this helps you

Evaluate the limit with either L'Hôpital's rule or previously learned methods.lim Sin(x)- Tan(x)/ x^3x → 0

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$\dfrac{-1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the limit of a function expressed as $\lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{sin(x)-tan(x)}{x^3}$ , to evaluate the following steps must be carried out.

Step 1: substitute x = 0 into the function

$= \dfrac{sin(0)-tan(0)}{0^3}\\= \frac{0}{0} (indeterminate)$

Step 2: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the function

$= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ sin(x)-tan(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (x^3)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{cos(x)-sec^2(x)}{3x^2}\\$

Step 3: substitute x = 0 into the resulting function

$= \dfrac{cos(0)-sec^2(0)}{3(0)^2}\\= \frac{1-1}{0}\\= \frac{0}{0} (ind)$

Step 4: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the resulting function in step 2

$= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ cos(x)-sec^2(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (3x^2)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{-sin(x)-2sec^2(x)tan(x)}{6x}\\$

$= \dfrac{-sin(0)-2sec^2(0)tan(0)}{6(0)}\\= \frac{0}{0} (ind)$

Step 6: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the resulting function in step 4

$= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ -sin(x)-2sec^2(x)tan(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (6x)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{[ -cos(x)-2(sec^2(x)sec^2(x)+2sec^2(x)tan(x)tan(x)]}{6}\\\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{[ -cos(x)-2(sec^4(x)+2sec^2(x)tan^2(x)]}{6}\\$

Step 7: substitute x = 0 into the resulting function in step 6

$= \dfrac{[ -cos(0)-2(sec^4(0)+2sec^2(0)tan^2(0)]}{6}\\\\= \dfrac{-1-2(0)}{6} \\= \dfrac{-1}{6}$

<em>Hence the limit of the function </em> $\lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{sin(x)-tan(x)}{x^3} \ is \ \dfrac{-1}{6}$ .

PLEASE HELP FIRST RIGHT <br> ONE GETS BRAINLY!!!

Ken has less than Joe. Joe has 10 marbles, so Ken (m) has less than 10. To transform the sentence, "Ken has less than 10," into an expression we use the < sign to show that Ken (m) has less than 10. M < 10

Hope this helps! ❤
