The price of the present is  £45.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

<u>step 1</u> :

Let,

Savings of Fred = 3x

Savings of George = 4x

<u>step 2</u> :

share of Fred = 2y

share of George = 3y

∴ Total cost of the gift = 2y + 3y = 5y

<u>step 3</u> :

According to the question given,

Fred has already spent half of his money = 3x - 2y = (1/2)3x

George only has £21 left over = 4x - 3y = 21

<u>step 4</u> :

solve for x in the first equation,

3x - (3/2)x = 2y

6x - 3x = 4y

3x = 4y

x = (4/3)y

<u>step 5</u> :

substitute x=(4/3)y in the second equation to find y,

4x - 3y = 21

4(4/3)y - 3y = 21

(16/3)y - 3y = 21

16y - 9y = 63

7y = 63

y = 9

<u>step 6</u> :

The total cost of the gift = 2y + 3y

Price of the present         = 5y = 5\times9 = 45

What is the limit of the infinite series?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the divergence test, for an infinite series ∑ aₙ, the series diverges if lim(n→∞) aₙ ≠ 0.

Applying the divergence test here:

lim(n→∞) (3n⁵ / (4n⁵ + 1)) = 3/4

This is not 0, so the series does not converge, meaning the sum does not exist.
