⠀⠀⠀⠀

The value of x is 0

⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀

<h3>➤<u> How to solve ?</u></h3>

⠀⠀⠀⠀

That's quite easy but you need to recall the BODMAS rule .

⠀⠀⠀⠀

BODMAS rule states the correct sequence to solve an equation . First we need to solve the bracket part then solve if any of is present moving further to division then multiplication carrying with addition atlast subtraction

⠀⠀⠀⠀

In this equation we will solve the bracket then we will apply further BODMAS rule

⠀⠀⠀⠀

<h3><u>SolutiOn : </u></h3>

➠ x - 4 = 1 / 4 ( 8x - 16 )

➠ 4 ( x - 4 ) = 8x - 16

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ 4 ( x - 4 ) = 4 ( 2x - 4 )

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ x - 4 = 2x - 4

Now, we will bring the variable on left hand side and constants on right hand side

➠ x - 2x = - 4 + 4

➠ -x = 0

➠ x = -0

➠ x = 0

∴ The value of x is 0 .

Hello!

$\large\boxed{x = 0}$

x - 4 = 1/4(8x - 16)

Distribute the 1/4:

x - 4 = 1/4(8x) + 1/4(-16)

x - 4 = 2x - 4

Subtract x from both sides:

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

-4 = x - 4

Add 4 to both sides:

-4 + 4 = x - 4 + 4

0 = x

write an equation to solve and find the answer to the following rate problem. a garden store sells six plants per hour how many

Virty [35]

Let x represent the number of plants that they will sell in five hours

We were told that the garden store sells six plants per hour. This means that

6 plants = 1 hour

then,

x plants = 5 hours

By cross multiplying, it becomes

x * 1 = 6 * 5

x = 30

They will sell 30 plants in 5 hoursx

Consider the sequence {an} = {nrn}. Decide whether {an} converges for each value of r.

Rudiy27

Answer:

a). converges

b). diverges

c). converges

Step-by-step explanation:

{ $a_n$ } = { $nr^n$ }

Using radio test,

L = $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} |\frac{a_n + 1}{a_n}|$

= $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} |\frac{(n+1)r^{n+1}}{nr^n}|$

= $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} |(1+\frac{1}{n})^r|$

= $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} |r|$

= |r|

Therefore, $a_n$ converges in |r| < 1

a). r = 1/5

$\{ a_n \}= \{\frac{1}{5}, n \}$

This sequence is monotonically decreasing and bounded.

0 < $a_n$ < 1

Hence, { $a_n$ } converges.

b). r = 1

{ $a_n$ } = { n }

This sequence is monotonically increasing sequence which is not bounded.

Hence, { $a_n$ } diverges.

c). r = 1/6

$\{ a_n \}= \{\frac{1}{6}, n \}$

This sequence is monotonically decreasing and bounded.

0 < $a_n$ < 1

Hence, { $a_n$ } converges.

For |r| < 1, the $a_n$ converges.
