Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Alternating Series Estimation Theorem:
│aₙ₊₁│≤ ε
1 / (4 (n + 1)⁴) ≤ 0.00005
4 (n + 1)⁴ ≥ 20000
(n + 1)⁴ ≥ 5000
n + 1 ≥ 8.41
n ≥ 7.41
n must be an integer, so n ≥ 8.
x^2 = the first integer
(x - 1)^2 = the second integer.
x^2 - (x - 1)^2 = ?
First, let's plug a number into our equation for x.
(2)^2 - (2 - 1)^2 = ?
4 - (1)^2 = ?
4 - 1 = 3
As we can see the difference is odd but it's also the sum of the two consecutive integers.
2 + 1 = 3.
This works for all numbers. Let's plug another number into our equation for x.
(4)^2 - (4 - 1)^2 = ?
16 - (3)^2 = ?
16 - 9 = 7
4 + 3 = 7
Try any number and it will always be odd.
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...
m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.
The slope is -4.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
X+23=-22
-23 -23
x=-45
a+(-1.3)=-4.5
or
a-1.3+-4.5
+1.3 +1.3
a=3.2
