Using Excel formulas
=LARGE(A1:A20, 1)/COUNT (A1:A20)
Count (Ai:An) Function that allows to count the total number of values in a cells range between Ai and An that contain only numbers.
Large (Ai:An, k) Function that allows to find the value of the largest number in a cells range between Ai and An, the number k determine the k-th largest value
Simplify to -30-35y=-30-5y
Move all ys to the right and move constants left, -30y= 0
Divide by -30
y=0
The series converges, and its sum is 1/2.
If r > 1, the series is divergent. If r < 1, the series is convergent. In our sequence, r, the common ratio we multiply by to get the next term, is 7/9; therefore it is convergent.
To find the sum of a convergent series, we use the formula
a/(1-r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. We then have
1/9÷(1-7/9) = 1/9÷2/9 = 1/9×9/2 = 1/2
Answer:
The speed on motorboat is 20 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
here, we want to find the speed on the motorboat
if he has a speed of x mph on the motor boat, his speed on the ski will be (x + 10) mph
The total hours is 4 hours
Mathematically; speed = distance/time
Time on ski is 27/x+ 10
Time on motor boat is 62/x
The addition of both is 4
Thus;
27/(x + 10) + 62/x = 4
27(x) + 62(x + 10) = 4(x)(x + 10)
27x + 62x + 620 = 4(x^2 + 10x)
89x + 620 = 4x^2 + 40x
4x^2 -49x-620 = 0
using the quadratic formula;
{-b ± √(b^2-4ac)}/2a
where a = 4, b = -49 and c = -620
= 49 ± √(-49)^2-4(4)(-620)/8
So we have
49+ 111/8 or 49-111/8
Speed cannot be negative
(49 + 111)/8
= 20 mph
