Answer:

b = 64/a³

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given information, we can only find a relation between a and b. We cannot find any specific value for b.

Since a varies inversely as the cube root of b, we have ...

a = k/∛b

Multiplying by ∛b lets us find the value of k:

k = a·∛b = 1·∛64 = 4

Taking the cube of this equation gives ...

64 = a³b

b = 64/a³ . . . . . divide by a³

The value of b is ...

b = 64/a³

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:

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

The sum telescopes so that

$S_n=\dfrac2{14}-\dfrac2{5n+4}$

and as $n\to\infty$ , the second term vanishes and leaves us with

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\frac17$

First you have to change 2 1/2 into 5/2

To multiply fractions use the method
Keep Change Flip

5/2 x 3/1 =15/2

Which simplifies to 7 1/2
