What is (6x+4) - (4x+2)

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplifying

6x + 4 = 4x + 2

2. Reorder the terms

4 + 6x = 4x + 2 to 4 + 6x = 2 + 4x

3. Solving

4 + 6x = 2 + 4x

4. Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Then add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

4 + 6x + -4x = 2 + 4x + -4x

5. Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x

4 + 2x = 2 + 4x + -4x

6. Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

4 + 2x = 2 + 0

4 + 2x = 2

7. Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 2x = 2 + -4

8. Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 2x = 2 + -4

2x = 2 + -4

9. Combine like terms: 2 + -4 = -2

2x = -2

10. Divide each side by '2'.

x = -1

11. Simplifying

x = -1

For the following telescoping series, find a formula for the nth term of the sequence of partial sums

gtnhenbr [62]

I'm guessing the sum is supposed to be

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}$

Split the summand into partial fractions:

$\dfrac1{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\dfrac a{5k-1}+\dfrac b{5k+4}$

$1=a(5k+4)+b(5k-1)$

If $k=-\frac45$ , then

$1=b(-4-1)\implies b=-\frac15$

If $k=\frac15$ , then

$1=a(1+4)\implies a=\frac15$

This means

$\dfrac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\dfrac2{5k-1}-\dfrac2{5k+4}$

Consider the $n$ th partial sum of the series:

$S_n=2\left(\dfrac14-\dfrac19\right)+2\left(\dfrac19-\dfrac1{14}\right)+2\left(\dfrac1{14}-\dfrac1{19}\right)+\cdots+2\left(\dfrac1{5n-1}-\dfrac1{5n+4}\right)$

The sum telescopes so that

$S_n=\dfrac2{14}-\dfrac2{5n+4}$

and as $n\to\infty$ , the second term vanishes and leaves us with

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\frac17$

Given f(x)=x2+14x+40 . Enter the quadratic function in vertex form in the box.

sammy [17]

Please indicate exponentiation using " ^ " Thanks.

f(x)=x2+14x+40 => f(x)=x^2+14x+40

Next, complete the square:

f(x)=x^2+14x+ 49 - 49 +40 = (x+7)^2 - 9

Write this in the form y = (x+7)^2 - 9 or y + 9 = (x+7)^2
Comparing this result to y = a(x-h)^2 + k, we see that h = -7 and k=-9

In vertex form, the equation is y + 9 = (x+7)^2 and the vertex is at (-7, -9).

Integers between -1and -5

-2, -3, -4.

an integer is a number that isn't a fraction. so literally any natural number like 1, 0, or -1. all integers.
