Answer:

61 bags of lettuce

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:

Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V

Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S

If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:

If x = 60

250 + 1.50x = V

250 + 90 = V

340 = V

100 + 4.00x = S

100 + 240 = S

340 = S

Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:

x = 61

250 + 1.50x = V

250 + 91.50 = V

341.50 = V

100 + 4.00x = S

100 + 244 = S

344 = S

Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.

Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.

Find the interval of convergence of the power series. (Be sure to include a check for convergence at the endpoints of the interv
Anon25 [30]

I'm guessing the power series given is

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^{n+1}\frac{(x-8)^n}{8^n}

which you can condense somewhat into

\displaystyle -\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(\frac{8-x}8\right)^n

You should recognize this as a geometric series, which converges for

\left|\dfrac{8-x}8\right|

The slope should be 3/5 because the rise over run using the points (0,3) and (5,6) result in 3/5.
