Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:5(x-1)=3(x-4)+1

Distribute

5x-5=3x-12+1

Combine like terms

5x-5=3x-11

Begin to try to get the x by itself

5x-5=3x-11

+5. +5

5x=3x-6

-3x. -3x

2x=-6

÷2. ÷2

X=3

(8CQ) Determine whether the series -5+25-125+... is convergent or divergent.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The answer is divergent ⇒ answer (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

* The series is -5 + 25 + -125 + ........

- It is a geometric series with:

- first term <em>a</em> = -5 and common ratio <em>r</em> = 25/-5 = -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 <em>a</em> is the first term and <em>r</em> 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 = -5

∴ IrI = 5

∴ IrI > 1

∴ The series is divergent
