Answer:

The decimal form of this rational number is 0.\overline {27}.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let \frac{a}{b} a rational number. From statement we understand that a represents the numerator, while b corresponds with the denominator of the rational number. Hence, a is 3 and b is 11.

b) The decimal form is obtained by dividing a by b, we presented the step needed to determine the decimal form:

i) Multiply the numerator by 10:

Dividend: 30/Divisor: 11/Known result: 0. /Residue: N/A

ii) Multiply the divisor by 2 and subtract from the dividend:

Known result: 0.2 /Residue: 8

iii) Multiply the residue by 10:

Known result: 0.2 /Residue: 80

iv) Multiply the divisor by 7 and subtract from the residue:

Known result: 0.27 /Residue: 3

v) Multiply the residue by 10:

Known result: 0.27 /Residue: 30

vi) Multiply the divisor by 2 and subtract from the residue:

Known result: 0.272/Residue: 8

vii) Multiply the residue by 10:

Known result: 0.272 /Residue: 80

viii) Multiply the divisor by 7 and subtract from the residue:

Known result: 0.2727/Residue: 3

We have notice that the decimal form of \frac{3}{11} is a periodical decimal number. Hence, we conclude that decimal form of this rational number is 0.\overline {27}.

Determine whether the following series converge or diverge
Mars2501 [29]
An alternating series \sum\limits_n(-1)^na_n converges if |(-1)^na_n|=|a_n| is monotonic and a_n\to0 as n\to\infty. Here a_n=\dfrac1{\ln(n+1)}.

Let f(x)=\ln(x+1). Then f'(x)=\dfrac1{x+1}, which is positive for all x>-1, so \ln(x+1) is monotonically increasing for x>-1. This would mean \dfrac1{\ln(x+1)} must be a monotonically decreasing sequence over the same interval, and so must a_n.

Because a_n is monotonically increasing, but will still always be positive, it follows that a_n\to0 as n\to\infty.

So, \sum\limits_n(-1)^na_n converges.
