Answer:
The answer to your question is 600 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Cylinder Cup
diameter = 30 in diameter = 3 in
height = 24 in height = 4 in
Process
1.- Calculate the volume of the cylinder
Volume = πr²h
-Substitution
Volume = (3.14)(30/2)²(24)
-Simplification
Volume = (3.14)(15)²(24)
Volume = (3.14)(225)(24)
-Result
Volume = 16959 in³
2.- Calculate the volume of the cup
Volume = (3.14)(3/2)²(4)
-Simplification
Volume = (3.14)(1.5)²(4)
Volume = (3.14)(2.25)(4)
-Result
Volume = 28.26 in³
3.- Divide the volume of the cylinder by the volume of the cup
Number of full cups = 16959 in³ / 28.26 in³
Number of full cups = 600
We can use the fact that, for
,

Notice that
![\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1{1-x}\right]=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20d%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac1%7B1-x%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cdfrac1%7B%281-x%29%5E2%7D)
so that
![f(x)=\displaystyle\frac5{(1-x)^2}=5\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cfrac5%7B%281-x%29%5E2%7D%3D5%5Cfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20d%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D%5Cleft%5B%5Csum_%7Bn%3D0%7D%5E%5Cinfty%20x%5En%5Cright%5D)



By the ratio test, this series converges if

so the series has radius of convergence
