lions = x

monkeys = 3x ( 3 times as many )

3x +x = 24

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6

6 lions

6*3 = 18 monkeys

For the following telescoping series, find a formula for the nth term of the sequence of partial sums {Sn}. Then evaluate limn→[

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given value:

$1) \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2}\\\\2) \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(k+6)(k+7)}$

Solve point 1 that is $\sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2}\\\\$ :

when,

$k= 1 \to s_1 = \frac{1}{1+1} - \frac{1}{1+2}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\\\\$

$k= 2 \to s_2 = \frac{1}{2+1} - \frac{1}{2+2}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4}\\\\$

$k= 3 \to s_3 = \frac{1}{3+1} - \frac{1}{3+2}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5}\\\\$

$k= n^ \to s_n = \frac{1}{n+1} - \frac{1}{n+2}\\\\$

Calculate the sum $(S=s_1+s_2+s_3+......+s_n)$

$S=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}+.....\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\\\\$

$=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\\\\$

When $s_n \ \ dt_{n \to 0}$

$=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{0+1}-\frac{1}{0+2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2}\\\\= 1 -\frac{1}{5}\\\\= \frac{5-1}{5}\\\\= \frac{4}{5}\\\\$

$\boxed{\text{In point 1:} \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2} =\frac{4}{5}}$

In point 2: $\sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(k+6)(k+7)}$

when,

$k= 1 \to s_1 = \frac{1}{(1+6)(1+7)}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{7 \times 8}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}$

$k= 2 \to s_1 = \frac{1}{(2+6)(2+7)}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{8 \times 9}\\\\= \frac{1}{72}$

$k= 3 \to s_1 = \frac{1}{(3+6)(3+7)}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{9 \times 10} \\\\ = \frac{1}{90}\\\\$

$k= n^ \to s_n = \frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)}\\\\$

calculate the sum: $S= s_1+s_2+s_3+s_n\\$

$S= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)}\\\\$

when $s_n \ \ dt_{n \to 0}$

$S= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{(0+6)(0+7)}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{6 \times 7}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}+\frac{1}{42}\\\\=\frac{45+35+28+60}{2520}\\\\=\frac{168}{2520}\\\\=0.066$

$\boxed{\text{In point 2:} \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)} = 0.066}$

A right triangular prism has a height of 26 cm and base edges of 10 cm, 24 cm, and 26 cm. What is the lateral area of the prism?

horrorfan [7]

The lateral area is 1560 cm².

The lateral area is the area of the lateral faces (the faces that are not bases). The dimensions of these are:
24 by 26
10 by 26
26 by 26

These are all rectangles. The area of each rectangle is given by length * width:
24*26 = 624
10*26 = 260
26*26 =676

624+260+676=1560

Emily and Lily are reading the same copy of the same book for a summer reading assignment.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

emily : 16 + 22x....with x being the number of days

Lily : 24 + 18x

16 + 22x = 24 + 18x

22x - 18x = 24 - 16

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2 <==== they will be on the same page in 2 days

16 + 22x = 16 + 22(2) = 16 + 44 = 60

24 + 18x = 24 + 18(2) = 24 + 36 = 60

and they will both be on page 60 <===
