If Sam invested $3,000 and he earned $300 over six months, the principal is _____.

1 answer:

4 0

A principal is the amount of money you invested or deposited, so in this case, the principal is $3,000,
(and the net amount of money you earn is the interest, that is $300 in this one.)

What is the least common denominator of the rational expressions below? 4/x^2-7x + 1/x^2-4x-21

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the GCF of x^2-7x (which is x) and factor x^2-4x-21

2. Multiply 1/(x-7)(x+) by x and 4/x(x-7) by (x+3) to get (x-7) as both denominators

Consider the series ∑n=1[infinity]2nn!nn. Evaluate the the following limit. If it is infinite, type "infinity" or "inf". If it d

Vikki [24]

I guess the series is

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{2^nn!}{n^n}$

We have

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{2^{n+1}(n+1)!}{(n+1)^{n+1}}}{\frac{2^nn!}{n^n}}\right|=2\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\frac n{n+1}\right)^n$

Recall that

$e=\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac1n\right)^n$

In our limit, we have

$\dfrac n{n+1}=\dfrac{n+1-1}{n+1}=1-\dfrac1{n+1}$

$\left(\dfrac n{n+1}\right)^n=\dfrac{\left(1-\frac1{n+1}\right)^{n+1}}{1-\frac1{n+1}}$

$\implies\displaystyle2\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\frac n{n+1}\right)^n=2\frac{\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\left(1-\frac1{n+1}\right)^{n+1}}{\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\left(1-\frac1{n+1}\right)}=\frac{2e}1=2e$

which is greater than 1, which means the series is divergent by the ratio test.

On the chance that you meant to write

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{2^n}{n!n^n}$

we have

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{2^{n+1}}{(n+1)!(n+1)^{n+1}}}{\frac{2^n}{n!n^n}}\right|=2\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1{(n+1)^2}\left(\frac n{n+1}\right)^2$
