Answer: d=20/3
Step By Step:
Step 1, Simplify:
12-3/4(d+16)=-5
(-3/4)d+(12-12)=-5
(-3/4)d=-5
Step 2, Multiply each side by 4/(-3)
(4/-3)*(-3/4)d=(4/-3)*-5
d=20/3
If you're referring to the different sets of real numbers, it's the ones that you could try to do subtraction and not get an answer that still in that set.
For example, natural numbers (aka 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) are not, because 7 - 11 = -4 and -4 is not a natural number.
Also, whole numbers (aka 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) has the same issue.
Basically any set of real numbers that doesn't include negative numbers will have this issue.
Answer:
a) -7/9
b) 16 / (n² + 15n + 56)
c) 1
Step-by-step explanation:
When n = 1, there is only one term in the series, so a₁ = s₁.
a₁ = (1 − 8) / (1 + 8)
a₁ = -7/9
The sum of the first n terms is equal to the sum of the first n−1 terms plus the nth term.
sₙ = sₙ₋₁ + aₙ
(n − 8) / (n + 8) = (n − 1 − 8) / (n − 1 + 8) + aₙ
(n − 8) / (n + 8) = (n − 9) / (n + 7) + aₙ
aₙ = (n − 8) / (n + 8) − (n − 9) / (n + 7)
If you wish, you can simplify by finding the common denominator.
aₙ = [(n − 8) (n + 7) − (n − 9) (n + 8)] / [(n + 8) (n + 7)]
aₙ = [n² − n − 56 − (n² − n − 72)] / (n² + 15n + 56)
aₙ = 16 / (n² + 15n + 56)
The infinite sum is:
∑₁°° aₙ = lim(n→∞) sₙ
∑₁°° aₙ = lim(n→∞) (n − 8) / (n + 8)
∑₁°° aₙ = 1
50% because you first subtract the original price from the new price so 126-84 equals 42 then you divide that by the original price 84 which will give you .5 which turns to 50%
