Let p(x) be a polynomial, and suppose that a is any real
number. Prove that
lim x→a p(x) = p(a) .
Solution. Notice that
2(−1)4 − 3(−1)3 − 4(−1)2 − (−1) − 1 = 1 .
So x − (−1) must divide 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2. Do polynomial
long division to get 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 – x – 2 / (x − (−1)) = 2x^3 − 5x^2 + x –
2.
Let ε > 0. Set δ = min{ ε/40 , 1}. Let x be a real number
such that 0 < |x−(−1)| < δ. Then |x + 1| < ε/40 . Also, |x + 1| <
1, so −2 < x < 0. In particular |x| < 2. So
|2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| ≤ |2x^3 | + | − 5x^2 | + |x| + | − 2|
= 2|x|^3 + 5|x|^2 + |x| + 2
< 2(2)^3 + 5(2)^2 + (2) + 2
= 40
Thus, |2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2| = |x + 1| · |2x^3 − 5x^2
+ x − 2| < ε/40 · 40 = ε.
You must earn 243 points to have earned 93% of all possible points.
We first multiply each percentage on the previous tests by 150:
0.88*150 = 132
0.94*150 = 141
0.9*150 = 135
The total number of points possible is given by adding up the possible points for the three previous tests and the 250 for the last test:
150+150+150+250 = 700
93% of the 700 points would be 0.93(700) = 651 points.
Now we have 132+141+135+x (last test) = 651
408 + x = 651
Subtract 408 from both sides:
408+x-408 = 651-408
x = 243
Answer:
The series is convergent answer ⇒ (a)
Step-by-step explanation:
* The series is -8/5 + 32/25 + -128/125 + ........
- It is a geometric series with:
- first term a = -8/5 and common ratio r = 32/25 ÷ -8/5 = -4/5
* The difference between the convergent and divergent
in the geometric series is :
- If the geometric series is given by sum = a + a r + a r² + a r³ + ...
* Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio
* If |r| < 1 then the following geometric series converges to a / (1 - r).
- Where a/1 - r is the sum to infinity
* The proof is:
∵ S = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) ⇒ when IrI < 1 and n very large number
∴ r^n approach to zero
∴ S = a(1 - 0)/(1 - r) = a/(1 - r)
∴ S∞ = a/1 - r
* If |r| ≥ 1 then the above geometric series diverges
∵ r = -4/5
∴ IrI = 4/5
∴ IrI < 1
∴ The series is convergent
for number one, the mean would be 45 minutes
for number 9, he wants to use the number of minutes that occurred most often as that is the definition of mode
