$f(x)=x^n;\ n\in\mathbb{Z^+}\\\\
function\ is\ even\ when\ f(-x)=f(x)\\\\function\ is\ odd\ when\ f(-x)=-f(x)\\\\a)\ f(x)\ is\ even\ when\ n\ is\ even:f(-x)=(-x)^n=x^n=f(x)\\\\b)\ f(x)\ is\ odd\ when\ n\ is\ odd:f(-x)=(-x)^n=-x^n=-f(x)$

Urpi wants to buy towels online. There are two stores with the kind of towel she wants. The first store charges $20 per towel, a

Kamila [148]

Answer:

1 A the first store.

2. B The second store.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The store with the dearest towel is The First one ( $20 compared with $18).

2. The equation for the cost in the first store is P = 20n + 25.

The cost in the second store is given by P = 18n + 35.

For 15 towels first store charges:

20 * 15 + 25 = $325.

Second store charges:

18 * 15 + 35 = $305.

Which of the following geometric series converges?

Artist 52 [7]

All three series converge, so the answer is D.

The common ratios for each sequence are (I) -1/9, (II) -1/10, and (III) -1/3.

Consider a geometric sequence with the first term a and common ratio |r| < 1. Then the n-th partial sum (the sum of the first n terms) of the sequence is

$S_n=a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}$

Multiply both sides by r :

$rS_n=ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-1}+ar^n$

Subtract the latter sum from the first, which eliminates all but the first and last terms:

$S_n-rS_n=a-ar^n$

Solve for $S_n$ :

$(1-r)S_n=a(1-r^n)\implies S_n=\dfrac a{1-r}-\dfrac{ar^n}{1-r}$

Then as gets arbitrarily large, the term $r^n$ will converge to 0, leaving us with

$S=\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\frac a{1-r}$

So the given series converge to

(I) -243/(1 + 1/9) = -2187/10

(II) -1.1/(1 + 1/10) = -1

(III) 27/(1 + 1/3) = 18

The lines are parallel.

In order to figure this out, let's start off by simplifying both equations as much as we can:
2y = 16 + 4x
Divide by 2
y = 2x + 8

Remember that the slope of that equation is '2' since 'm' in the equation y = mx + b represents slope.

Simplify the next equation:
6y - 30 = 12 x
6y = 12x + 30
Divide by 6:
y = 2x + 5

As you can tell, this line also has a slope of 2.
Parallel lines is defined as two lines that have the same slope. Knowing this, we can infer that these two lines are parallel.
