Is 3584 a term of the series 7+14+28+56........?
1 answer:
Answer:
yes it is the 10th term in the series
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is
= a₁
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 7 and r = =
= 2 , then
= 7
Equate to 3584 and solve for n
7 = 3584 ( divide both sides by 7 )
= 512 , that is
=
Since the bases on both sides are equal, both 2 , then equate the exponents
n - 1 = 9 ( add 1 to both sides )
n = 10
3584 is the 10th term in the series

1.) The interval of the value of x is from -5 to 1, inclusive. Remember that what is asked is the absolute value, thus the sign does not matter even if you have to subtract x from 5. Thus, the maximum value would be obtained if the x is smaller, which is 1. The minimum value is obtained when x=-5.
Absolute maximum value: x = - 5
f(-5) = ║5 - 7(-5)^2║ = ║-170║=170
Absolute minimum value: x = 1
f(1) = ║5 - 7(1)^2║ = ║-2║= 2
2.) The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) applies to functions that are continuous and differentiable on the closed and open interval of a to b, respectively. Since the function is a quadratic function, MVT can be applied. Then, this means that there is a value of c which is between a and b. This could be determined using this formula according to MVT:
The differentiated form would be f'(x) = -2x. Then,
Thus, x = -1, x = -1/2, and x=0 all lie in the function 4-x^2.
