By inspection, it's clear that the sequence must converge to \dfrac32 because

\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}=\dfrac{3+\frac1n}{2-\frac1n}\approx\dfrac32

when n is arbitrarily large.

Now, for the limit as n\to\infty to be equal to \dfrac32 is to say that for any \varepsilon>0, there exists some N such that whenever n>N, it follows that

\left|\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}-\dfrac32\right|

From this inequality, we get

\left|\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}-\dfrac32\right|=\left|\dfrac{(6n+2)-(6n-3)}{2(2n-1)}\right|=\dfrac52\dfrac1{|2n-1|}
\implies|2n-1|>\dfrac5{2\varepsilon}
\implies2n-1\dfrac5{2\varepsilon}
\implies n\dfrac12+\dfrac5{4\varepsilon}

As we're considering n\to\infty, we can omit the first inequality.

We can then see that choosing N=\left\lceil\dfrac12+\dfrac5{4\varepsilon}\right\rceil will guarantee the condition for the limit to exist. We take the ceiling (least integer larger than the given bound) just so that N\in\mathbb N.

the expression -300 + 14y represents a submarine that began at a depth of 300 feet below sea level and ascended at a rate of 14
spayn [35]

Answer:

174 feet below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the number of minutes so you can multiply 14 by 9

14*9 is 126

then you add 126 to -300

126 + (-300) is essentially 126 - 300 and that is -174

the submarine was at 174 feet below sea level

Each person attending a two-day conference receives 4 meal vouchers to use.
Lisa [10]
Part A: Let x and y be the number of persons attending the two-day conference and y be the number of vouchers released. The equation that would best express the given is,
                                             y = 4x

Part B: The number of people attending the conference is determined by dividing the given number of vouchers by 4. The answer is 956.
