Answer:

<h2><u>B.</u> <u>It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on EDG.

<em />

Simplifying

7h + -5(3h + -8) = -72

Reorder the terms:

7h + -5(-8 + 3h) = -72

7h + (-8 * -5 + 3h * -5) = -72

7h + (40 + -15h) = -72

Reorder the terms:

40 + 7h + -15h = -72

Combine like terms: 7h + -15h = -8h

40 + -8h = -72

Solving

40 + -8h = -72

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.

40 + -40 + -8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0

0 + -8h = -72 + -40

-8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: -72 + -40 = -112

-8h = -112

Divide each side by '-8'.

h = 14

Simplifying

h = 14

How do you do these questions?

Answer:

-x¹⁴ / 5040

-½ < x < ½

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = e^(-x²)

The Taylor series for eˣ centered at 0 is:

eˣ = ∑ (1/n!) xⁿ

Substitute -x²:

e^(-x²) = ∑ (1/n!) (-x²)ⁿ

e^(-x²) = ∑ (1/n!) (-1)ⁿ x²ⁿ

The 14th degree term occurs at n=7.

(1/7!) (-1)⁷ x¹⁴

-x¹⁴ / 5040

ln(1 + x) = ∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ xⁿ / n

If we substitute 4x²:

ln(1 + 4x²) = ∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (4x²)ⁿ / n

Using ratio test:

lim(n→∞)│aₙ₊₁ / aₙ│< 1

lim(n→∞)│[(-1)ⁿ⁺² (4x²)ⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1)] / [(-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (4x²)ⁿ / n]│< 1

lim(n→∞)│-1 (4x²) n / (n+1)│< 1

4x² < 1

x² < ¼

-½ < x < ½

D is the correct answer.

We do not need math in this instance, just knowledge.
We know that the answer will point to 0, not infinity. There are constraints. Also note that 1.75*7=12.25, which means you can fit no more than 7 books in the bag.
