Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given three points J, C and T on a line, if J is between C and T then;

CJ + JT = CT.

Given CJ=8x+5, CT=55, and JT=4x+2, substituting this parameters in the equation above will give;

$(8x+5)+(4x+2)= 55\\8x+4x+5+2 = 55\\12x+7 = 55\\12x = 55-7\\12x = 48\\ x = \frac{48}{12} \\x = 4$

SInce JT = 4x+2

$JT = 4(4)+2\\JT = 16+2\\JT = 18$

Find the radius of convergence, r, of the series. ∞ xn 2n − 1 n = 1 r = 1 find the interval, i, of convergence of the series. (e

Bingel [31]

Assuming the series is

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{x^n}{2n-1}$

The series will converge if

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{x^{n+1}}{2(n+1)-1}}{\frac{x^n}{2n-1}}\right|$

We have

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{x^{n+1}}{2(n+1)-1}}{\frac{x^n}{2n-1}}\right|=|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\frac1{2n+1}}{\frac1{2n-1}}=|x|-\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{2n-1}{2n+1}=|x|$

So the series will certainly converge if $-1$ , but we also need to check the endpoints of the interval.

If $x=1$ , then the series is a scaled harmonic series, which we know diverges.

On the other hand, if $x=-1$ , by the alternating series test we can show that the series converges, since

$\left|\dfrac{(-1)^n}{2n-1}\right|=\dfrac1{2n-1}\to0$

and is strictly decreasing.

So, the interval of convergence for the series is $-1\le x$ .

What is the 8th term in a geometric sequence where the first term is equal to 4 and the common ration is 2?

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

512

Step-by-step explanation:

1st term =a

common ratio = r

a*r with the exponent n-1

a=4 r=2 n=8

8th term 4*(2 at the seventh power)= 512

1st term :4

2nd term = 4*2=8

3rd term 8*2=16

4th term 12*2=32...............8th term 256*2=512
