Answer:

9.8 x 5.0= 49 newtons

weight= Mass x Gravity

Mass= 5.0 kg

Gravity (on earth)= 9.8 newtons/kg (force of gravity downward)

Tuition at a community college increased from$55.00 to $62.00 per semester hour what is the % of increase..??

zlopas [31]

To find the percent of increase take the difference of the two divided by the original. (62-55)/55 = .12727272727. So 13% if they want you to round to the nearest percent.

For the following telescoping series, find a formula for the nth term of the sequence of partial sums

gtnhenbr [62]

I'm guessing the sum is supposed to be

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}$

Split the summand into partial fractions:

$\dfrac1{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\dfrac a{5k-1}+\dfrac b{5k+4}$

$1=a(5k+4)+b(5k-1)$

If $k=-\frac45$ , then

$1=b(-4-1)\implies b=-\frac15$

If $k=\frac15$ , then

$1=a(1+4)\implies a=\frac15$

This means

$\dfrac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\dfrac2{5k-1}-\dfrac2{5k+4}$

Consider the $n$ th partial sum of the series:

$S_n=2\left(\dfrac14-\dfrac19\right)+2\left(\dfrac19-\dfrac1{14}\right)+2\left(\dfrac1{14}-\dfrac1{19}\right)+\cdots+2\left(\dfrac1{5n-1}-\dfrac1{5n+4}\right)$
