a. Recall that

For
, we have

By integrating both sides, we get

If
, then

so that

We can shift the index to simplify the sum slightly.

b. The power series for
can be obtained simply by multiplying both sides of the series above by
.

c. We have


The team that should be awarded for consistent performance should be Team M. This is because the standard deviation of the team's players' scores is the lowest. Standard deviation is a measure of how much the individual data points vary from the average value, and for a consistent performance, this variation will be low.
The team with the highest average is Team N. The average is the same as the mean, and this is the highest for Team N, with a value of 13.
Let A = { 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 } , B = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 } , and C = { 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 } . Find { x ∣ x ∈ B or x ∈ C } .

Answer:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7}
Step-by-step explanation:
x in B or C is ...
B ∪ C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7}
We can represent this situation by the equation 2x+4x+5x=33.
Then 11x=33, and x = 3.
Then the children's ages are in the ratio 2x:4x:5x, or 2(3):4(3):5(3), or
6:12:15.
Do these 3 ages add up to 33? 6 + 12 + 15 = 33? YES!
The children's ages are 6, 12 and 15 years respectively.
