the real solutions for the equation $x^{3}=-64$ are -

$x=4,2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{3}$ = $- 64$

$x^{3} +64$ = 0

We can write 64 as $4^{3}$

$x^{3}$ + $4^{3}$ = 0

using the identity ( $x^{3}+y^{3} = (x+y)(x^{2} -xy+y^{2} )$ )

we get,

= $(x+4) (x^{2} -x*4+4^{2} )$

= $(x+4)(x^{2} -4x+16)$ ....................(1)

solving the quadratic equation ,

$x^{2} -4x+16$ =0

solutions of this quadratic equation can be obtained by

$x=-b +- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } /2a$

let use y for factors

$x=-(-4x)+-\sqrt{(-4x^{2} )-4*x^{2} *16} / 2*x^{2}$

$x=4x+-\sqrt{16x^{2} -64x^{2} } /2x^{2}$

$x=4+-\sqrt{16-64}/2$

$x=4+-4\sqrt{3i} /2$

<u /> $x=2+-2\sqrt{3i}$ ..................(2)

from the equation 1 we have,

$x-4=0$

which gives solution $x=4$

and from equation 2 we got $x=2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

so the real solutions for the equation $x^{3}=-64$ are -

$x=4,2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

When Lila conducted an experiment on citywide pond water, all of her samples came from the pond in her uncle's backyard. Explain

liq [111]

Her area of study is too narrow. There are other sources of water in the city that she is not considering. So her sample is too biased leaning toward the Uncle's pond water, and that leaves out every other source. We say that the Uncle's source of water is over-represented while the other sources are completely under-represented.

Let's put it this way: We have a hypothetical city that has 100 acres of pond water either in or surrounding the city limits. If the Uncle's pond only represents 1% of this, then she's ignoring the other 99% of the ponds.

What Lila needs to do to to fix this error is to draw up a map of each major pond and mark those ponds with numbers 001,002,...998,999. In this example, there are 999 ponds. Then she needs to either use a random number table or computer software to help randomly generate values to help select the ponds. Doing so will ensure that she spans a good portion of the city and not stay focused on just the narrow area of her Uncle's backyard.

The reason why she needs to enlarge her area of study is because the results of her Uncle's pond study may lead to the wrong conclusion of the city overall. Let's say his pond is contaminated somehow, and it's only his pond that's the unfortunate one. She would likely see the pond is contaminated and conclude that the whole city's water is ruined as well, which isn't the case. Or we could have nearly the entire city's pond water in trouble, but her Uncle's pond is one of the lucky ponds not to get contaminated. We can see that Lila would likely conclude that no action needs to be taken to clean up the city's water sources, which is also not the case.

If Lila only cared about her Uncle's pond, then that pond (and perhaps immediate close surrounding area) would be her population of study. However, her study is about citywide pond water which is why she needs to extend to other places in the city or in the outer surrounding areas.

The market price for a freezer was $4200. A man bought the freezer on hire purchase. He made a deposit of $1350 and twelve month

Oksanka [162]

The amount that would be saved is $330, the amount earns weekly is $170, and the worth of a $250 deposit after 2 years is $270.40.

<h3>How do we calculate the amount saved, weekly wage, and future value?</h3>

The amount that would be saved if he had bought the freezer at the market price can be calculated as follows:

Total amount paid = Deposit + (Monthly payment * 12) = $1,350 + ($265 * 12) = $4,530

Amount that would have been saved = Total amount paid - Market price = $4,530 - $4,200 = $330

The amount the man earns each week can be calculated as follows:

Amount earns weekly = Take home pay / (100% - Tax rate) = $122.40 / (100% - 28%) = $170

The worth of a $250 deposit after 2 years of compound interest can be calculated using the future value (FV) formula as follows:

FV = PV * (1 + r)^n ..................... (1)

Where:

FV = future value or the worth of a $250 deposit after 2 years = ?

PV = present value or deposit = $250

r = interest rate per annum = 4% = 0.04

n = number of years = 2

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $250 * (1 + 0.04)^2 = $270.40

Determine the above sequence converges or diverges. If the sequence converges determine its limit

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

This series is convergent. The partial sums of this series converge to $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The $n$ th partial sum of a series is the sum of its first $n\!\!$ terms. In symbols, if $a_n$ denote the $n\!$ th term of the original series, the $\! n$ th partial sum of this series would be:

$\begin{aligned} S_n &= \sum\limits_{k = 1}^{n} a_k \\ &= a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_{k}\end{aligned}$ .

A series is convergent if the limit of its partial sums, $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ , exists (should be a finite number.)

In this question, the $n$ th term of this original series is:

$\displaystyle a_{n} = \frac{{(-1)}^{n+1}}{{2}^{n}}$ .

The first thing to notice is the ${(-1)}^{n+1}$ in the expression for the $n$ th term of this series. Because of this expression, signs of consecutive terms of this series would alternate between positive and negative. This series is considered an alternating series.

One useful property of alternating series is that it would be relatively easy to find out if the series is convergent (in other words, whether $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ exists.)

If $\lbrace a_n \rbrace$ is an alternating series (signs of consecutive terms alternate,) it would be convergent (that is: the partial sum limit $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ exists) as long as $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |a_{n}| = 0$ .

For the alternating series in this question, indeed:

$\begin{aligned}\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |a_n| &= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \left|\frac{{(-1)}^{n+1}}{{2}^{n}}\right| = \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} {\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{n} =0\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore, this series is indeed convergent. However, this conclusion doesn't give the exact value of $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ . The exact value of that limit needs to be found in other ways.

Notice that $\lbrace a_n \rbrace$ is a geometric series with the first term is $a_0 = (-1)$ while the common ratio is $r = (- 1/ 2)$ . Apply the formula for the sum of geometric series to find an expression for $S_n$ :

$\begin{aligned}S_n &= \frac{a_0 \cdot \left(1 - r^{n}\right)}{1 - r} \\ &= \frac{\displaystyle (-1) \cdot \left(1 - {(-1 / 2)}^{n}\right)}{1 - (-1/2)} \\ &= \frac{-1 + {(-1 / 2)}^{n}}{3/2} = -\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot {\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{n}\end{aligned}$ .

Evaluate the limit $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ :

$\begin{aligned} \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n} &= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \left(-\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot {\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{n}\right) \\ &= -\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \underbrace{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \left[{\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{n} \right] }_{0}= -\frac{2}{3}\end{aligned}}_$ .

Therefore, the partial sum of this series converges to $\displaystyle \left(- \frac{2}{3}\right)$ .
