I'm guessing the sum is supposed to be

Split the summand into partial fractions:


If
, then

If
, then

This means

Consider the
th partial sum of the series:

The sum telescopes so that

and as
, the second term vanishes and leaves us with

3 < 3x+6
-3<3x
-1<x
3x+6<24
3x<18
x<6
-1<x<6 the book is right
The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:


To solve a system of equations, we can add the two equations and solve for one of the remaining variables -- let's try to eliminate the
variable when we add the two equations together.
Right now, there's a
term in the first equation, and a
term in the second equation, so if we add those together, we'll be able to eliminate the
variable altogether and solve for
.
However, when we also have a
term in the first equation and
term in the second equation, so adding these together will also eliminate the
term, leaving a
on the left-hand side of the equation.
If we add the two numbers on the right side of the equation, we get
, which does not equal
, meaning there are no solutions to this system of equations.
Answer:
x | y
1 | -3
2 | 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y values.
