Answer:
Since a/2⁽ⁿ ⁺ ¹⁾b < a/2ⁿb, we cannot find a smallest positive rational number because there would always be a number smaller than that number if it were divided by half.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a/b be the rational number in its simplest form. If we divide a/b by 2, we get another rational number a/2b. a/2b < a/b. If we divide a/2b we have a/2b ÷ 2 = a/4b = a/2²b. So, for a given rational number a/b divided by 2, n times, we have our new number c = a/2ⁿb where n ≥ 1
Since 
= a/(2^∞)b = a/b × 1/∞ = a/b × 0 = 0, the sequence converges.
Now for each successive division by 2, a/2⁽ⁿ ⁺ ¹⁾b < a/2ⁿb and
a/2⁽ⁿ ⁺ ¹⁾b/a/2ⁿb = 1/2, so the next number is always half the previous number.
So, we cannot find a smallest positive rational number because there would always be a number smaller than that number if it were divided by half.
Answer:
114.
Step-by-step explanation:
- remove parenthesis
- multiply the numbers 6 x 3 + 18
18 + 4 + 2 x 3 x 15 + 2
multiply the numbers 2 x 3 x 15 + 90
18 + 4 + 2 + 90 + 2
add the numbers : 18 + 4 + 2 + 90 + 2
= 114!
Answer:
The maximum value of the confidence interval for this set of survey results is 51.73%.
Step-by-step explanation:
A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.
These bounds depend on the sample proportion and on the margin of error.
The lower bound is the sample proportion subtracted by the margin of error.
The upper bound is the margin of error added to the sample proportion.
In this question:
Sample proportion: 46.1%
Margin of error: 5.63%.
Maximum value is the upper bound:
46.1+5.63 = 51.73
The maximum value of the confidence interval for this set of survey results is 51.73%.
