For the following telescoping series, find a formula for the nth term of the sequence of partial sums

gtnhenbr [62]

I'm guessing the sum is supposed to be

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}$

Split the summand into partial fractions:

$\dfrac1{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\dfrac a{5k-1}+\dfrac b{5k+4}$

$1=a(5k+4)+b(5k-1)$

If $k=-\frac45$ , then

$1=b(-4-1)\implies b=-\frac15$

If $k=\frac15$ , then

$1=a(1+4)\implies a=\frac15$

This means

$\dfrac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\dfrac2{5k-1}-\dfrac2{5k+4}$

Consider the $n$ th partial sum of the series:

$S_n=2\left(\dfrac14-\dfrac19\right)+2\left(\dfrac19-\dfrac1{14}\right)+2\left(\dfrac1{14}-\dfrac1{19}\right)+\cdots+2\left(\dfrac1{5n-1}-\dfrac1{5n+4}\right)$

The sum telescopes so that

$S_n=\dfrac2{14}-\dfrac2{5n+4}$

and as $n\to\infty$ , the second term vanishes and leaves us with

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{10}{(5k-1)(5k+4)}=\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\frac17$

Each week carrie works 40 hours she spend 15% of her time at register

VLD [36.1K]

Please, share the goal of the problem. If Carrie works 40 hours per week and spends 15% of her time at the register, how much time does she NOT spend at the register?

Subtract 15% from 100%; the result is 85%. Now find 85% of 40 hours:

0.85(40 hours) = 34 hours.

Please note that I invented part of this problem. Next time, share all of the info so that someone can help you solve YOUR particular problem.
