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})

Make a table of values for the equation.<br> y = 3x + 2
Rzqust [24]
Tables are easy to make when u have the equation. Just simply sub any number in for x and solve for y

y = 3x + 2...lets let x = 0
y = 3(0) + 2
y = 2.....so when x = 0, y = 2....(0,2)

y = 3x + 2....lets let x = 1
y = 3(1) + 2
y = 3 + 2
y = 5....so when x = 1, y = 5....(1,5)

y = 3x + 2.....let x = 2
y = 3(2) + 2
y = 6 + 2
y = 8....so when x = 2, y = 8...(2,8)

u can find more point if u need to...

now make a table..

         x            y
        0             2
        1             5
        2             8
and like I said, if u need more numbers for ur table, just do like I did above :)

Solve. 2 (x - 1/2) = 3 (5 - 2x) show the steps in your solution.
viktelen [127]

Question 1.). Solve:

2 (x - 1 / 2) = 3 (5 - 2x)

Simplify both sides of equation:

2( x - 1 / 2 ) = 3(5 - 2x )

(2) (x) + (2) ( -1 / 2 ) = (3) (5) + (3) ( -2x )


Distribute:

2x + - 1 = 15 + -6x

2x - 1 = -6x + 15


Add 6x to both sides:

2x - 1 + 6x = -6x + 15 + 6x

8x - 1 = 15


Add 1 to both sides:

8x - 1 + 1 = 15 + 1

8x = 16


Divide both sides by 8:

8x / 8 = 16 / 8

Answer: 2 (x - 1 / 2) = 3 (5 - 2x) ==========> x = 2











Question 2.).

M =======> Amount Malik need

Solution: =========> m ≥ 5

Inequality ========> 8 + 7 + 10 + m ≥ 30

25 + m ≥ 30

Interpretation ==========> Malik needs at least, $5 .00 to get to, $30.00 or more.

Is the solution reasonable ===========> YES





Hope that helps!!!!! : )

1. Consider the following hypotheses:
Andrej [43]

Answer:

See deductions below

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

a) p(y)∧q(y) for some y (Existencial instantiation to H1)

b) q(y) for some y (Simplification of a))

c) q(y) → r(y) for all y (Universal instatiation to H2)

d) r(y) for some y (Modus Ponens using b and c)

e) p(y) for some y (Simplification of a)

f) p(y)∧r(y) for some y (Conjunction of d) and e))

g) ∃x (p(x) ∧ r(x)) (Existencial generalization of f)

2)

a) ¬C(x) → ¬A(x) for all x (Universal instatiation of H1)

b) A(x) for some x (Existencial instatiation of H3)

c) ¬(¬C(x)) for some x (Modus Tollens using a and b)

d) C(x) for some x (Double negation of c)

e) A(x) → ∀y B(y) for all x (Universal instantiation of H2)

f)  ∀y B(y) (Modus ponens using b and e)

g) B(y) for all y (Universal instantiation of f)

h) B(x)∧C(x) for some x (Conjunction of g and d, selecting y=x on g)

i) ∃x (B(x) ∧ C(x)) (Existencial generalization of h)

3) We will prove that this formula leads to a contradiction.

a) ∀y (P (x, y) ↔ ¬P (y, y)) for some x (Existencial instatiation of hypothesis)

b) P (x, y) ↔ ¬P (y, y) for some x, and for all y (Universal instantiation of a)

c) P (x, x) ↔ ¬P (x, x) (Take y=x in b)

But c) is a contradiction (for example, using truth tables). Hence the formula is not satisfiable.
