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

Mathematics

adoni [48]2 years ago

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.

Solve 2x2 − 8x = −7.
leva [86]
\sf 2x^2 - 8x = - 7  \\  \\ Subtract \ -7 \ from \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation. \\  \\ 2x^2 - 8x - (-7 ) = - 7 - (-7)  \\  \\ 2x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0  \\  \\ Use \ quadratic \ formula \ a = 2, b = -8, c = 7 \\  \\ x =  \dfrac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^2- 4ac} }{2a}  \\  \\  \\ x =  \dfrac{-(-8) \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4 (2) (7) } }{2(2)}  \\  \\ x =  \dfrac{8 \pm  \sqrt{8} }{4}  \\  \\ x = 2 +  \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2} \ or \ x = 2 +  \frac{-1}{2}  \sqrt{2}
