It's not clear what your series is, so I'm going to take a wild guess on what it is you mean:

1-\dfrac{1\times3}{3!}+\dfrac{1\times3\times5}{5!}-\dfrac{1\times3\times5\times7}{7!}+\cdots
=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{(2n-1)!}\prod_{k=1}^n(2k-1)

For the sum to be absolute convergent, the sum of the absolute value of the summand must converge, so you are really examining the convergence of

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1{(2n-1)!}\prod_{k=1}^n(2k-1)

This is easily checked with the ratio test:

\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\displaystyle\dfrac1{(2(n+1)-1)!}\prod_{k=1}^{n+1}(2k-1)}{\displaystyle\dfrac1{(2n-1)!}\prod_{k=1}^n(2k-1)}\right|=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\dfrac{1\times3\times5\times\cdots\times(2n-1)\times(2n+1)}{(2n+1)!}}{\dfrac{1\times3\times5\times\cdots\times(2n-1)}{(2n-1)!}}\right|
\displaystyle=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\dfrac{2n+1}{(2n+1)(2n)}}{\dfrac11}\right|=\lim_{n\to\infty}\dfrac1{2n}=0

Since \sum|a_n| converges by the ratio test, the series \sum a_n converges absolutely.

Two buses leave towns 304 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One bus travels 14 mih slower than the othe
8090 [49]

Answer:

The faster bus moves at 83mi/h and the slower one moves at 69mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

R₁ = rate of bus 1, this is the faster one.

R₂ = rate of bus 2, this is the slower one.

We know that one bus travels 14mi/h slower, then:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h.

Now we know that:

Distance = Speed*Time.

If we add the distances that both busses travel in 2 hours, it should be equal to the initial distance between the buses, then:

R₁*2h + R₂*2h = 304 mi

Then we have the two equations:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h

R₁*2h + R₂*2h = 304 mi

The first step is to replace the first equation in the second one, to get:

R₁*2h + (R₁ - 14mi/h)*2h = 304 mi

And now we can solve this for R₁.

R₁*2h + R₁*2h - 14mi/h*2h = 304 mi

R₁*4h - 28mi = 304mi

R₁*4h = 304mi + 28mi = 332mi

R₁ = 332mi/4h = 83mi/h

The faster bus moves at 83mi/h

And we know that the slower one moves at 14mi/h slower than this, then:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h = 83mi/h - 14mi/h = 69 mi/h

These two rectangles are similar which is a correct proportion for corresponding sides
hammer [34]

to make the proportion we make the ratio of the similar sides

For example

4/8 = 12/x

or we can write it as 4/12 = 8/x

or 12/x = 4/8

So last option is correct
