Answer:

(0, 16]

Step-by-step explanation:

∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (x−8)ⁿ / (n 8ⁿ)

According to the ratio test, if we define L such that:

L = lim(n→∞) |aₙ₊₁ / aₙ|

then the series will converge if L < 1.

aₙ = (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (x−8)ⁿ / (n 8ⁿ)

aₙ₊₁ = (-1)ⁿ⁺² (x−8)ⁿ⁺¹ / ((n+1) 8ⁿ⁺¹)

Plugging into the ratio test:

L = lim(n→∞) | (-1)ⁿ⁺² (x−8)ⁿ⁺¹ / ((n+1) 8ⁿ⁺¹) × n 8ⁿ / ((-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (x−8)ⁿ) |

L = lim(n→∞) | -n (x−8) / (8 (n+1)) |

L = (|x−8| / 8) lim(n→∞) | n / (n+1) |

L = |x−8| / 8

For the series to converge:

L < 1

|x−8| / 8 < 1

|x−8| < 8

-8 < x−8 < 8

0 < x < 16

Now we check the endpoints.  If x = 0:

∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (0−8)ⁿ / (n 8ⁿ)

∑ₙ₌₁°° -(-1)ⁿ (-8)ⁿ / (n 8ⁿ)

∑ₙ₌₁°° -(8)ⁿ / (n 8ⁿ)

∑ₙ₌₁°° -1 / n

This is a harmonic series, and diverges.

If x = 16:

∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (16−8)ⁿ / (n 8ⁿ)

∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (8)ⁿ / (n 8ⁿ)

∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ / n

This is an alternating series, and converges.

Therefore, the interval of convergence is:

0 < x ≤ 16

Or, in interval notation, (0, 16].

We’re told that QR and RS are equal, so this is an isosceles triangle.

Meaning the two base angles must also be equal

Using this information, we know that the third angle must be 180 - (22 + 22), since the angles in a triangle add up to 180

If one third a number is 8 what is the number
Harlamova29_29 [7]
The number is 24. If 8 is one third of the number, you multiply 8 by 3 to find the number, which is 24.

A bookmark is shaped like a rectangle with a semicircle attached at both ends. The rectangle is 17 cm
maria [59]

Answer:

80.56

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rectangle area you just multiply its length by its width:

17 * 4 = 68

You have to sum two semicircles on top of that. Since it is 2 semicircles you can just calculate one circle. Using the circle area formula:  \pi*r^2

Since the radius (r) is 2 and \pi is 3.14, you have the following equation:

A = 3.14 * 2² ==>      A = 3.14 * 4   ==>   A = 12.56     <em>(A is Area)</em>

Sum the rectangle's area with the circle's area:

12.56 + 68 = 80.56

And vuoila! there's your answer.

<h3>What do you mean by Mean?</h3>

Aside from the mode and median, the mean is one of the measures of central tendency used in statistics. The average of the specified collection of numbers is what is referred to as the mean. It indicates a data set's values are distributed equally. The three most popular methods for determining central tendency are the mean, median, and mode. To find the mean, tally up all the values listed on a datasheet, then divide that total by the total number of values. When all the values are organised in ascending order, the median is the value that falls in the middle of the data. The number in the list that is repeated a maximum number of times is the mode, in contrast.
