A freight train travels at 30 mph. If the freight train is 300 miles ahead of an express train traveling at 55 mph, how long wil

Let the time elapsed be x, then
30x + 300 = 55x
55x - 30x = 300
25x = 300
x = 300/25 = 12

Therefore, it will take the express train 12 hours to overtake the freight train.

Using the slope and the y-intercept, graph the line represented by the following equation. Then select the correct graph.
dangina [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x+4

slope=2

y- intercept=4

slope=\frac{rise}{run}\\2=\frac{4}{run}\\run=\frac{4}{2}=2\\

so draw a line through (0,2) and (2,8)

∑∞ n=1 (n^2n)/(1+n)^(3n)
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Given the series,

∑ ∞ n = 1 − 4 ( − 1 / 2 ) n − 1

I think the series is summation from n = 1 to ∞ of -4(-1/2)^(n-1)

So,

∑ − 4 ( − ½ )^(n − 1). From n = 1 to ∞

There are different types of test to show if a series converges or diverges

So, using Ratio test

Lim n → ∞ (a_n+1 / a_n)

Lim n → ∞ (-4(-1/ 2)^(n+1-1) / -4(-1/2)^(n-1))

Lim n → ∞ ((-4(-1/2)^(n) / -4(-1/2)^(n-1))

Lim n → ∞ (-1/2)ⁿ / (-1/2)^(n-1)

Lim n→ ∞ (-1/2)^(n-n+1)

Lim n→ ∞ (-1/2)^1 = -1/2

Since the limit is less than 0, then, the series converge...

Sum to infinity

Using geometric progression formula

S∞ = a / 1 - r

Where

a is first term

r is common ratio

So, first term is

a_1 = -4(-½)^1-1 = -4(-½)^0 = -4 × 1

a_1 = -4

Common ratio r = a_2 / a_1

a_2 = 4(-½)^2-1 = -4(-½)^1 = -4 × -½ = 2

a_2 = 2

Then,

r = a_2 / a_1 = 2 / -4 = -½

S∞ = -4 / 1--½

S∞ = -4 / 1 + ½

S∞ = -4 / 3/2 = -4 × 2 / 3

S∞ = -8 / 3 = -2⅔

The sum to infinity is -2.67 or -2⅔

1/4+1/2 find the sum using number line
Arte-miy333 [17]
It's 3/4

no number line provided for me, but if you find the common denominator (4), and convert 1/2 into 2/4, then adding 2/4+1/4 is easy, and equals 3/4
