Answer:

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right) = \log(\frac{1}{100})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)

Required

The sum

Using the laws of logarithm, we have:

\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(ab)

Take the first two terms of the series

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3}) = \log(\frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3})

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3}) = \log(\frac{1}{3})

Include the third term

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) = \log(\frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{4})

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) = \log(\frac{1}{4})

Include the fourth term

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) + \log(\frac{4}{5}) = \log(\frac{1}{4} *\frac{4}{5})

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) + \log(\frac{4}{5}) = \log(\frac{1}{5})

Notice the following pattern

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3}) = \log(\frac{1}{3}) ---------------- n =2

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) = \log(\frac{1}{4}) -------------- n = 3

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) + \log(\frac{4}{5}) = \log(\frac{1}{5}) ----------- n = 4

So the sum of n series is:

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ ............ + \log(\frac{n}{n+1}) = \log(\frac{1}{n+1})

So, the sum of the series is:

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right) = \log(\frac{1}{99+1})

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right) = \log(\frac{1}{100})

Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: D) No. The graph fails the vertical line test.

Explanation:

We are able to draw a single vertical line that passes through more than one point on the red curve. For example, we could draw a vertical line through x = 5 and have it cross the red curve at (5,4) and (5,-4).

So this is one example where the graph fails the vertical line test. It passes this test when such a thing doesn't happen. In other words, a function is only possible if any x input leads to exactly one and only one y output.

In this case, x = 5 leads to multiple outputs y = 4 and y = -4 at the same time. There are other x values which this occurs as well (any x values such that x > 1). So this is why we don't have a function.

Paying 20$ cashapp if you get this correct
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

148⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

M< EDF = M< DFE (because the two angles are equal because the triangle has two equal sides)

2x + 8 = 3x + 4

8 – 4 = 3x - 2x

4=x or x=4

So M< EDF= 2x4+8 = 16⁰  

So M< EDF + M< DFE= 32⁰

180⁰- 32⁰ = 148⁰
