<u><em>Question</em></u>

<em>If the CP of 15 articles equals to the SP of 12 articles, find the gain percent.</em>

<em></em>

Answer:

gain percent = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question given, we will follow the steps below:

gain%  =   \frac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}  ×    100%

But from the question;

"CP of 15 articles equals to the SP of 12 articles", this implies that

15 c.p  =  12 s.p

s.p = 15c.p  /   12

s.p  = \frac{15 c.p}{12}       =   \frac{5c.p}{4}

s.p  =  \frac{5c.p}{4}

substitute  s.p  =  \frac{5c.p}{4}   into the formula

gain%  =   \frac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}  ×    100%

      =\frac{\frac{5c.p}{4} -  c.p }{c.p}     ×    100%

       =  \frac{\frac{5c.p - 4c.p}{4} }{c.p}      ×    100%

  =   \frac{c.p}{4}   ÷   c.p      ×    100%

= \frac{c.p}{4}     ×   \frac{1}{c.p}    ×    100%

=   \frac{1}{4}  ×    100%

=  25 %

What are all values of x for which the series shown converges? ​
adoni [48]

Answer:

One convergence criteria that is useful here is that, if aₙ is the n-th term of this sequence, then we must have:

Iaₙ₊₁I < IaₙI

This means that the absolute value of the terms must decrease as n increases.

Then we must have:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2 )^{n+1}}{(n + 1)*3^{n+1}}

We can write this as:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2 )^{n+1}}{(n + 1)*3^{n+1}} = \frac{(x -2)^n}{(n + 1)*3^n} * \frac{(x - 2)}{3}

If we assume that n is a really big number, then:

n + 1 ≈ 1

And we can write:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2)^n}{(n)*3^n} * \frac{(x - 2)}{3}

Then we have the inequality

1 > (x - 2)/3

And remember that this must be in absolute value, then we will have that:

-1 < (x - 2)/3 < 1

-3 < x - 2 < 3

-3 + 2 < x < 3 + 2

-1 < x < 5

The first option looks like this, but it uses the symbols ≤≥, so it is not the same as this, then the correct option will be the second.
