Ruben worked in a union motorcycle factory for 20 years before returning to school to become a paramedic instead. He is 45 now.

He has a pension from his previous employer, which would pay him $1500/month after his retirement at 65. Assuming he will live to 80 (which is slightly higher than the life expectancy for an American man) he would earn $270000 over 15 years. The company has stopped offering pensions and wants to buy out his pension today. Should Ruben accept a buyout offer of $125,000? Assume that he could invest the money at an interest rate of 3% with a monthly compounding.

(1CQ) Determine whether the series -8/5+32/25-128/125+... is convergent or divergent.
Ivan

Answer:

The series is convergent answer ⇒ (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

* The series is -8/5 + 32/25 + -128/125 + ........

- It is a geometric series with:

- first term a = -8/5 and common ratio r = 32/25 ÷ -8/5 = -4/5

* The difference between the convergent and divergent

  in the geometric series is :

- If the geometric series is given by  sum  = a + a r + a r² + a r³ + ...

* Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio

* If |r| < 1 then the following geometric series converges to a / (1 - r).  

- Where a/1 - r is the sum to infinity

* The proof is:

∵ S = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) ⇒ when IrI < 1 and n very large number

∴ r^n approach to zero

∴ S = a(1 - 0)/(1 - r) = a/(1 - r)

∴ S∞ = a/1 - r

* If |r| ≥ 1 then the above geometric series diverges

∵ r = -4/5

∴ IrI = 4/5

∴ IrI < 1

∴ The series is convergent

How many different ways can you choose 5 books from a shelf containing 12 books? Type a numerical answer in the space provided.
yanalaym [24]
There are 792 different ways of choosing 5 books from a shelf containing 12 books. This problem can be solved using the combination formula of mathematics. The combination formula of mathematics is a number of way of selecting thing from a collection and the formula stated as n(n-1)...(n-k+1)/k(k-1)...1 (Calculation: 12*11*10*9*8/5*4*3*2*1 = 95040/120 = 792)<span>.</span>
