X=9

You add 3 to both sides which leaves you with 2x=18 and then divide by two and that gives you x=9

27 solid iron spheres,each of radius x cm are melted to form a sphere with radius y cm ,find the ratio of x:y

madam [21]

Radius of 1 solid iron sphere =r

→ Volume =34πr3

→ Volume of 27 solid iron

spheres =27x34πr3

→ 34πr'3=27x34πr3

r'3=2πr3

→r'=3r

(ii) Surface area =4+πr2

SA r'=4πr'2

=4π(3r)2=36πr2

S'S=36πr24πr2=91=1:9

zachary deposited $125 into his savings account. What integer can you write to represent the deposit? what does 0 represent?

Ludmilka [50]

I am going to say Zach instead of Zachary. Zach deposited 125 dollars into his savings account. now the word deposit means to put money into your savings account in the bank. The integer you would write would be a positive 125. Because it was something you put, meaning it increased your balance. 0 always represents starting account balance.

Use the Integral Test to determine whether the series is convergent or divergent

Inga [223]

Answer:

A. $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n}{e^{15n}}$ converges by integral test

Step-by-step explanation:

A. At first we need to verify that the function which the series is related ( $\frac{n}{e^{15n}}$ ) fills the necessary conditions to ensure that the test is effective.

*f(x) must be continuous or differentiable

*f(x) must be positive and decreasing

Let´s verify that $f(x)=\frac{n}{e^{15n}}$ fills these conditions:

*Considering that eˣ≠0 for all x, the function $f(x)=\frac{n}{e^{15n}}$ does not have any discontinuities, so it´s continuous

*Because eˣ is increasing:

if a<b ,then eᵃ<eᵇ

if 0<eᵃ<eᵇ ,then 1/eᵃ > 1/eᵇ

if 1/eᵃ > 1/eᵇ and a<b, then a/eᵃ<b/eᵇ

We conclude that $f(x)=\frac{n}{e^{15n}}$ is decreasing

*Because eˣ is always positive and the sum is going from 1 to ∞, this show that $f(x)=\frac{n}{e^{15n}}$ is positive in [1,∞).

Now we are able to use the integral test in $f(x)=\frac{n}{e^{15n}}$ as follows:

$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n}{e^{15n}}\ converges\ \leftrightarrow\ \int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{x}{e^{15x}}\ dx\ converges$

Let´s proceed to integrate f(x) using integration by parts

$\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{x}{e^{15x}}\ dx=\int_{1}^{\infty}xe^{-15x}\ dx$

Choose your U and dV like this:

$U=x\ \rightarrow dU=1\\ dV=e^{-15x}\ \rightarrow V=\frac{-e^{-15x}}{15}$

And continue using the formula for integration by parts:

$\int_{1}^{\infty}Udv = UV|_{1}^{\infty} - \int_{1}^{\infty}Vdu$

$\int_{1}^{\infty}xe^{-15x}\ dx= \frac{-x}{15e^{15x}}|_{1}^{\infty} -\frac{-1}{15} \int_{1}^{\infty}e^{-15x}\ dx$

$\int_{1}^{\infty}xe^{-15x}\ dx= \frac{-x}{15e^{15x}}|_{1}^{\infty} -\frac{-1}{15}(\frac{-1}{15e^{15x}})|_{1}^{\infty}$

$\int_{1}^{\infty}xe^{-15x}\ dx= \frac{-x}{15e^{15x}}|_{1}^{\infty} -\frac{1}{225e^{15x}}|_{1}^{\infty}$

Because we are dealing with ∞, we´d rewrite it as a limit that will help us at the end of the integral:

$\int_{1}^{\infty}xe^{-15x}\ dx= \lim_{b \to{\infty}}(\frac{-x}{15e^{15x}}|_{1}^{b}-\frac{1}{225e^{15x}}|_{1}^{b})$

$\int_{1}^{\infty}xe^{-15x}\ dx= \lim_{b \to{\infty}} \frac{-b}{15e^{15b}}-\frac{1}{225e^{15b}}-(\frac{-1}{15e^{15}}-\frac{1}{225e^{15}})$

$\int_{1}^{\infty}xe^{-15x}\ dx= ( \lim_{b \to{\infty}} \frac{-b}{15e^{15b}}-\frac{1}{225e^{15b}})+\frac{1}{15e^{15}}(1-\frac{1}{15})$

We only have left to solve the limits, but because b goes to ∞ and it is in an exponential function on the denominator everything goes to 0

$\lim_{b \to{\infty}} \frac{-b}{15e^{15b}}-\frac{1}{225e^{15b}} = 0$

$\int_{1}^{\infty}xe^{-15x}\ dx= \frac{1}{15e^{15}}(1-\frac{1}{15})$

Showing that the integral converges, it´s the same as showing that the series converges.

By the integral test $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n}{e^{15n}}$ converges
