Let n be a number

2n - 3 = 55

Add 3 to both sides

2n + (-3 + 3) = 55 + 3

2n = 58

Divide 2 to both sides

2n/2 = 58/2

n = 29

Hope this helped!

Let f be defined by the function f(x) = 1/(x^2+9)

(a)

$\displaystyle\int_3^\infty \frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2+9}=\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{x=3}^{x=b}\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2+9}$

Substitute <em>x</em> = 3 tan(<em>t</em> ) and d<em>x</em> = 3 sec²(<em>t </em>) d<em>t</em> :

$\displaystyle\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{t=\arctan(1)}^{t=\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)}\frac{3\sec^2(t)}{(3\tan(t))^2+9}\,\mathrm dt=\frac13\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{t=\arctan(1)}^{t=\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)}\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle \frac13 \lim_{b\to\infty}\left(\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)-\arctan(1)\right)=\boxed{\dfrac\pi{12}}$

(b) The series

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=3}^\infty \frac1{n^2+9}$

converges by comparison to the convergent <em>p</em>-series,

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=3}^\infty\frac1{n^2}$

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n (n^2+9)}{e^n}$

converges absolutely, since

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left|\frac{(-1)^n (n^2+9)}{e^n}\right|=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^2+9}{e^n} < \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^2}{e^n} < \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac1{e^n}=\frac1{e-1}$

That is, ∑ (-1)ⁿ (<em>n</em> ² + 9)/<em>e</em>ⁿ converges absolutely because ∑ |(-1)ⁿ (<em>n</em> ² + 9)/<em>e</em>ⁿ| = ∑ (<em>n</em> ² + 9)/<em>e</em>ⁿ in turn converges by comparison to a geometric series.
