Answer: 35

Step-by-step explanation: Well percent means over 100 so we can set up an equation for this problem by reading it from left to right.

What means x, is means equals, 25% is 25/100,

of means times, and 250 means 250.

So we have the equation x = 25/100 · 40.

Simplifying on the right side of the equation,

notice that 25/100 reduces to 1/4.

So we have x = 1/4 · 40.

Think of the 40 as 40/1.

So we can cross-cancel 140 and 4 to 35 and 1

and we have x = (1)(35) over (1)(1) or x = 35.

Now let's check our answer back in the

original problem to see if it makes sense.

We have (35) is 25% of 140.

Well we know that 100% of 140 would be 140.

So 25% of 250 should be a lot less than 140.

So 35 seems to make sense as a pretty good answer.

frez [133]

mark must leave it for 5.5 months or 5 and half moths to gain 5600 in interest .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , mark invests 8000 in an account that pays 12% interest and 2000 in one that pays 8%. if he leaves the money in the accounts for the same length of time, We need to find how long must he leave it to gain 5600 in interest . Let's find out:

Let mark invests 8000 in an account that pays 12% interest and 2000 in one that pays 8% for time x months , So total interest gain is 5600 i.e.

⇒ $\frac{8000(12)}{100}(x) +\frac{2000(8)}{100}(x) =5600$

⇒ $\frac{8000(12)+2000(8)}{100}(x) =5600$

⇒ $(80(12)+20(8))(x) =5600$

⇒ $(960+160)(x) =5600$

⇒ $(1020)(x) =5600$

⇒ $x =\frac{5600}{1020}$

⇒ $x =5.5$

Therefore , mark must leave it for 5.5 months or 5 and half moths to gain 5600 in interest .

To demonstrate a method for computing the limit itself, let's pick a small value of n. If n = 3, then our limit is

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0 } \frac{1 - \prod \limits_{k = 2}^{3} \sqrt[k]{\cos(kx)} }{ {x}^{2} }$

Let a = 1 and b the cosine product, and write them as

$\dfrac{a - b}{x^2}$

with

$b = \sqrt{\cos(2x)} \sqrt[3]{\cos(3x)} = \sqrt[6]{\cos^3(2x)} \sqrt[6]{\cos^2(3x)} = \left(\cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x)\right)^{\frac16}$

Now we use the identity

$a^n-b^n = (a-b)\left(a^{n-1}+a^{n-2}b+a^{n-3}b^2+\cdots a^2b^{n-3}+ab^{n-2}+b^{n-1}\right)$

to rationalize the numerator. This gives

$\displaystyle \frac{a^6-b^6}{x^2 \left(a^5+a^4b+a^3b^2+a^2b^3+ab^4+b^5\right)}$

As x approaches 0, both a and b approach 1, so the polynomial in a and b in the denominator approaches 6, and our original limit reduces to

$\displaystyle \frac16 \lim_{x\to0} \frac{1-\cos^3(2x)\cos^2(3x)}{x^2}$

For the remaining limit, use the Taylor expansion for cos(x) :

$\cos(x) = 1 - \dfrac{x^2}2 + \mathcal{O}(x^4)$

where $\mathcal{O}(x^4)$ essentially means that all the other terms in the expansion grow as quickly as or faster than x⁴; in other words, the expansion behaves asymptotically like x⁴. As x approaches 0, all these terms go to 0 as well.

Then

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = \left(1 - 2x^2\right)^3 \left(1 - \frac{9x^2}2\right)^2$

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = \left(1 - 6x^2 + 12x^4 - 8x^6\right) \left(1 - 9x^2 + \frac{81x^4}4\right)$

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = 1 - 15x^2 + \mathcal{O}(x^4)$

so in our limit, the constant terms cancel, and the asymptotic terms go to 0, and we end up with

$\displaystyle \frac16 \lim_{x\to0} \frac{15x^2}{x^2} = \frac{15}6 = \frac52$

Unfortunately, this doesn't agree with the limit we want, so n ≠ 3. But you can try applying this method for larger n, or computing a more general result.

Edit: some scratch work suggests the limit is 10 for n = 6.
