Answer:

See the explanation. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

As a side note, while I know you don't need to solve the problem and just need the equation, I'm going to solve it anyway so you can see how problems like this work so that you can solve them for yourself. :)

As the problem states, the cost of a single shirt (s) and a single pair of pants (p) TOGETHER is $18. It also states that a pair of pants (p) costs twice as much as a shirt (s). This, believe it or not, gives us all the information we need to solve the problem.

Pretty quickly, we can come up with two equations:

2s = p

p + s = 18

Then, through substitution, we find that:

2s + s = 18

Now, that right there is your answer, and you can just stop here to keep going if you'd like. I, however, am going to solve the problem and find the numbers. I implore you to continue reading.

Continuing on:

3s = 18

3s / 3 = 18 / 3

s = 6

Finally, we return to our original two equations to figure out the following:

2(6) = p

12 = p

Finally, we find that s = 6 and p = 12.

What are all values of x for which the series shown converges? ​
adoni [48]

Answer:

One convergence criteria that is useful here is that, if aₙ is the n-th term of this sequence, then we must have:

Iaₙ₊₁I < IaₙI

This means that the absolute value of the terms must decrease as n increases.

Then we must have:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2 )^{n+1}}{(n + 1)*3^{n+1}}

We can write this as:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2 )^{n+1}}{(n + 1)*3^{n+1}} = \frac{(x -2)^n}{(n + 1)*3^n} * \frac{(x - 2)}{3}

If we assume that n is a really big number, then:

n + 1 ≈ 1

And we can write:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2)^n}{(n)*3^n} * \frac{(x - 2)}{3}

Then we have the inequality

1 > (x - 2)/3

And remember that this must be in absolute value, then we will have that:

-1 < (x - 2)/3 < 1

-3 < x - 2 < 3

-3 + 2 < x < 3 + 2

-1 < x < 5

The first option looks like this, but it uses the symbols ≤≥, so it is not the same as this, then the correct option will be the second.

Answer:

a = 157.7536pi

Step-by-step explanation:

area = pi*circumference²

a = pi*12.56² = 157.7536*pi

however, if pi just equals 3.14:

probably around 495.346304
