The combined volume of all the tanks at an aquarium is 1.25 X 106 gallons. The aquarium plans to install a new dolphin tank with

a volume of 250,000 gallons. What will be the total volume of all of the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed?

1. The combined volume of all the tanks at the aquarium is written in Scientific notation. Keeping this on mind, you can write it as following:

$(1.25)(10^{6})=1,250,000gallons$

2. Now, you must sum the combined volume of all the tanks and the volume of the new tank to calculate the total volume of all of them: $Vt=1,250,000gallons+250,000gallons\\Vt= 1,500,000gallons$

3. Now, you can write the result in Scientific notation, as following:

$Vt=(1.5)(10^{6}) gallons$

The answer is: $(1.5)(10^{6}) gallons$

What will be the value of

madreJ [45]

The expression as given doesn't make much sense. I think you're trying to describe an infinitely nested radical. We can express this recursively by

$\begin{cases}a_1=\sqrt{42}\\a_n=\sqrt{42+a_{n-1}}\end{cases}$

Then you want to know the value of

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n$

if it exists.

To show the limit exists and that $a_n$ converges to some limit, we can try showing that the sequence is bounded and monotonic.

Boundedness: It's true that $a_1=\sqrt{42}\le\sqrt{49}=7$ . Suppose $a_k\le 7$ . Then $a_{k+1}=\sqrt{42+a_k}\le\sqrt{42+7}=7$ . So by induction, $a_n$ is bounded above by 7 for all $n$ .

Monontonicity: We have $a_1=\sqrt{42}$ and $a_2=\sqrt{42+\sqrt{42}}$ . It should be quite clear that $a_2>a_1$ . Suppose $a_k>a_{k-1}$ . Then $a_{k+1}=\sqrt{42+a_k}>\sqrt{42+a_{k-1}}=a_k$ . So by induction, $a_n$ is monotonically increasing.

Then because $a_n$ is bounded above and strictly increasing, the limit exists. Call it $L$ . Now,

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n=\lim_{n\to\infty}a_{n-1}=L$

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt{42+a_{n-1}}=\sqrt{42+\lim_{n\to\infty}a_{n-1}}$

$\implies L=\sqrt{42+L}$

Solve for $L$ :

$L^2=42+L\implies L^2-L-42=(L-7)(L+6)=0\implies L=7$

We omit $L=-6$ because our analysis above showed that $L$ must be positive.

So the value of the infinitely nested radical is 7.

Can you guys help me?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y = 2x

y = 2*4 = 8 Checks, therefore

y = 20 for x = 10

2. y = 3x

y = 3*(0.3) = 0.9 Checks, therefore:

y = 3*(1.5) = 4.5

y = 3*

3. y = 5/x

y = 5/(1/2) = 10 Checks, therefore:

3 = 5/x

x = 5/3

4 v = wu

7*3 = 21 Checks, therefore:

v = (3/4)*(6) = (18/4) = (9/2)

v = (2/3)wu

v = (2/3)*7*3 = 14 Checks

5 m = Kn/p [Add the K as a constant that will make m = Knp true at some value of K]

9 = K*2/(1/3)

27 = (K*2)

27 = 2K

K = (3/2)

m = (3/2) (n/p)

m = (3/2)*((1/2)/(1/3))

m = (3/2)*(3/2)

m = 1
