What are all values of x for which the series shown converges? ​

Answer:

One convergence criteria that is useful here is that, if aₙ is the n-th term of this sequence, then we must have:

Iaₙ₊₁I < IaₙI

This means that the absolute value of the terms must decrease as n increases.

Then we must have:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2 )^{n+1}}{(n + 1)*3^{n+1}}

We can write this as:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2 )^{n+1}}{(n + 1)*3^{n+1}} = \frac{(x -2)^n}{(n + 1)*3^n} * \frac{(x - 2)}{3}

If we assume that n is a really big number, then:

n + 1 ≈ 1

And we can write:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2)^n}{(n)*3^n} * \frac{(x - 2)}{3}

Then we have the inequality

1 > (x - 2)/3

And remember that this must be in absolute value, then we will have that:

-1 < (x - 2)/3 < 1

-3 < x - 2 < 3

-3 + 2 < x < 3 + 2

-1 < x < 5

The first option looks like this, but it uses the symbols ≤≥, so it is not the same as this, then the correct option will be the second.

<h3>What is a Cuboid?</h3>

A cuboid is a three-dimensional figure with 6 faces, all the faces are rectangular in shape.

The volume is the space occupied by it in a three-dimensional figure.

The volume of a cuboid whose length is l,

The width is w, and

Height is h.

V = length * Width * Height

V = lwh

The length of the shed is 16.25 ft.

The width of the shed is 11 ft.

The height of the shed is 6 1/5 ft

The height of the shed is 31/5 = 6.2ft.

The volume of the shed is given by

V = 16.25 * 11 * 6.2

V = 1108.25 cu.ft

Therefore, the shed has a volume of 1108.25 cu.ft.

What is the solution for the system of equations {9x+8y=3 6x−12y=−11?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

( - \frac{1}{3}, \frac{3}{4} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

9x + 8y = 3 → (1)

6x - 12y = - 11 → (2)

To eliminate the y- term multiply (1) by 1.5

13.5x + 12y = 4.5 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(6x + 13.5x) + (- 12y + 12y) = (- 11 + 4.5)

19.5x = - 6.5 ( divide both sides by 19.5 )

x = \frac{-6.5}{19.5} = - \frac{1}{3}

Substitute this value into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Using (1), then

- 3 + 8y = 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

8y = 6 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}

Solution is (- \frac{1}{3}, \frac{3}{4} )
