Answer: 3 ducks 2 horses

Step-by-step explanation: ducks have 2 legs 3x2=6

horses have 4 legs 4x2=8

6+8=14

(Taking into account that none of the animals are amputees)

Answer:

2 horses and 3 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

2 horses*4 legs=8 legs

3 ducks*2 legs=6 legs

Add both

8+6=14 legs

In order to get who was right we need to solve the expression:
2a^2b(-2ab^3)^-2
The above can be written as fraction to get:
(2a^2b)/(-2ab^3)^2
=(2a^2b)/(4a^2b^6)
=1/2(a^(2-2)b^(1-6))
=1/2a^0b^-5
=1/2b^(-5)
This implies that neither of the was right

I need help with this problem from the calculus portion on my ACT prep guide
LenaWriter [7]

Given a series, the ratio test implies finding the following limit:

\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\rvert=r

If r<1 then the series converges, if r>1 the series diverges and if r=1 the test is inconclusive and we can't assure if the series converges or diverges. So let's see the terms in this limit:

\begin{gathered} a_n=\frac{2^n}{n5^{n+1}} \\ a_{n+1}=\frac{2^{n+1}}{(n+1)5^{n+2}} \end{gathered}

Then the limit is:

\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{n5^{n+1}}{2^n}\cdot\frac{2^{n+1}}{\mleft(n+1\mright)5^{n+2}}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2^{n+1}}{2^n}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{5^{n+1}}{5^{n+2}}\rvert

We can simplify the expressions inside the absolute value:

\begin{gathered} \lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2^{n+1}}{2^n}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{5^{n+1}}{5^{n+2}}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2^n\cdot2}{2^n}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{5^n\cdot5}{5^n\cdot5\cdot5}\rvert \\ \lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2^n\cdot2}{2^n}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{5^n\cdot5}{5^n\cdot5\cdot5}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert2\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{1}{5}\rvert \\ \lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert2\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\cdot\frac{1}{5}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\rvert \end{gathered}

Since none of the terms inside the absolute value can be negative we can write this with out it:

\lim _{n\to\infty}\lvert\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}\rvert=\lim _{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}

Now let's re-writte n/(n+1):

\frac{n}{n+1}=\frac{n}{n\cdot(1+\frac{1}{n})}=\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{n}}

Then the limit we have to find is:

\lim _{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{n}{n+1}=\lim _{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{n}}

Note that the limit of 1/n when n tends to infinite is 0 so we get:

\lim _{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{n}}=\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{1+0}=\frac{2}{5}=0.4

So from the test ratio r=0.4 and the series converges. Then the answer is the second option.

Renting video games from Store S costs $2.50 per game plus a monthly fee of $5.00. Renting video games from Store T costs $5.00
tigry1 [53]

Answer: A. 2.5v+5v < 5v

Step-by-step explanation:

represents the piece of information which states that renting videos is $2.50 per game and the 2.5 is multiplied by the number of games v. Five is added as a monthly fee therefore the left side of the equation should be 2.5v+5.

For store T:

There is no monthly fee and so the renting fee of $5 per game is represented as 5v.

In conclusion, if the inequality sign in the middle is less than (<) then the left hand side of the inequality sign should represent store S and the right hand side should represent store T in order to answer the question. This makes option A the only correct option.
