Answer:

Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Dan's age now be D.

Let Cary's age now be C.

"Cary is 7 years older than Dan."

C = D + 7

"In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 79. "

In 7 years, the ages of Dan and Cary will be D + 7 and C + 7, respectively.

D + 7 + C + 7 = 79

C + D + 14 = 79

C + D = 65

C = D + 7

The last two equations in bold above form a system of equations. Since the second equation is already solved for C, we use the substitution method.

D + 7 + D = 65

2D + 7 = 65

2D = 58

D = 29

C = D + 7

C = 29 + 7

C = 36

Answer: Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

2 (Picture) CONVERGENT AND DIVERGENT SERIES PLEASE HELP!!

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

This series is divergent

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a series

Firstly, we will find nth term

Numerator:

3, 4, 5,...

so, nth term will be

$a_n=n+3$

Denominator:

4,5,6,....

so, nth term will be

$b_n=n+4$

so, we can find it's nth term as

$c_n=\frac{n+3}{n+4}$

we can use divergent test

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n=\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n+3}{n+4}$

we can divide top and bottom by n

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n= \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n/n+3/n}{n/n+4/n}$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n= \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1+3/n}{1+4/n}$

now, we can plug n=inf

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n= \frac{1+0}{1+0}$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n=1$

Since, it is non-zero value

so, this series is divergent

5. Arrival problems usually follow a Poisson distribution, but in this case the time between arrivals of customers at a bank dur

Finger [1]

Answer:

0.5 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

For any given value of 'x' representing the time between arrivals of two customers. If 0 < x <120, then the cumulative distribution function is:

$\frac{x-0}{120-0}=\frac{x}{120}$

Therefore, the probability that the time between the arrivals of two customers will be more than 60 seconds is determined by:

$P(X>60) = 1 -\frac{60}{120}\\P(X>60) = 0.5$

The probability is 0.5 or 50%.
