Answer:

There are 111 blue bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of black bags

y ---> the number of blue bags

we know that

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{3}$

isolate the variable y

$y=\frac{3}{5}x$ -----> equation A

$x=185$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$y=\frac{3}{5}(185)$

$y=111$

therefore

There are 111 blue bags

If f (n)(0) = (n + 1)! for n = 0, 1, 2, , find the taylor series at a=0 for f.

Pie

Given that $f^{(n)}(0)=(n+1)!$ , we have for $f(x)$ the Taylor series expansion about 0 as

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(n+1)!}{n!}x^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)x^n$

Replace $n+1$ with $n$ , so that the series is equivalent to

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

and notice that

$\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n=\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

Recall that for $|x|$ , we have

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n=\frac1{1-x}$

which means

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}=\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\frac1{1-x}$
$\implies f(x)=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}$

What is the square root of 8 rounded to the nearest tenth?

frozen [14]

Square Root of 8 to the nearest tenth, means to calculate the square root of 8 where the answer should only have one number after the decimal point.

Here are step-by-step instructions for how to get the square root of 8 to the nearest tenth:

Step 1: Calculate

We calculate the square root of 8 to be:

√8 = 2.82842712474619

Step 2: Reduce

Reduce the tail of the answer above to two numbers after the decimal point:

2.82

Step 3: Round

Round 2.82 so you only have one digit after the decimal point to get the answer:

2.8

To check that the answer is correct, use your calculator to confirm that 2.82 is about 8.

The definition of parallel lines requires the undefined terms line and plane, while the definition of perpendicular lines requir

Tomtit [17]

Point, line, and plane are the undefined expression that relinquish the starting location for geometry. When we define words, we ordinarily use simpler words, and these simpler words are in turn defined using yet simpler words. This procedure must eventually abort; at some stage, the definition must use a word whose meaning is accepted as intuitively clear. Because that meaning is accepted without definition, we refer to these words as undefined terms. These terms will be used in defining other terms. Although these expressions are not formally defined, a brief intuitive dialogue is needed. A point is the most fundamental object in geometry. It is represented by a dot and named by a capital letter. A point constitute position only. A line (straight line) can be thought of as a connected set of infinitely many points. It extends infinitely far in two opposite directions. A line has boundless length, zero width, and zero height. Any two points on the line name it. The symbol ↔ written on top of two letters is used to denote that line. <span>A plane may be contemplating as an infinite set of points creating a connected flat surface extending infinitely far in all directions. It is usually represented in drawings by a four‐sided figure. A single capital letter is used to designate a plane.</span>
