Given that (p - 1/p) = 4, the value of p² + 1/p² is 18. Detail below
<h3>Data obtained from the questio</h3>
- (p - 1/p) = 4
- p² + 1/p² = ?
<h3>How to determine the value of p² + 1/p²</h3>
(p - 1/p) = 4
Square both sides
(p - 1/p)² = (4)²
(p - 1/p)² = 16 ....(1)
Recall
(a - b)² = a² + b² - 2ab
Thus,
(p - 1/p)² = p² + 1/p² - (2 × p × 1/p)
(p - 1/p)² = p² + 1/p² - 2
From equation (1) above,
(p - 1/p)² = 16
Therefore,
p² + 1/p² - 2 = 16
Rearrange
p² + 1/p² = 16 + 2
p² + 1/p² = 18
Thus, the value of p² + 1/p² is 18

Using limits, it is found that the infinite sequence converges, as the limit does not go to infinity.
<h3>How do we verify if a sequence converges of diverges?</h3>
Suppose an infinity sequence defined by:
Then we have to calculate the following limit:
If the <u>limit goes to infinity</u>, the sequence diverges, otherwise it converges.
In this problem, the function that defines the sequence is:
Hence the limit is:
Hence, the infinite sequence converges, as the limit does not go to infinity.

Distance between the two cities:
453 - 333 = 120 miles.
Rest area is 2/3 of the way:
120 x 2/3 = 240/3 = 80 miles.
Divide the miles to the rest stop by his speed:
80 miles/ 60 miles per hour = 1 and 1/3 hours as a fraction. 1.3333 as a decimal( round as needed.
( 1 hour and 20 minutes)
