What can be said about the convergence or divergence of the following series? summation n=0 to infinite (-1)^n Cn9^n
Answer:
The series diverges
Step-by-step explanation:
Given.
The center of convergence of the series, ΣCnx^n = 0 (for n = 0 to ∞)
The interval of the convergence is of the form (-k,k)
One or both the end points may be included in the intervals of convergence.
Also, given that the series diverges when x = 7; this implies that the interval of convergence is smaller than {-7,7}
The series
Σ(-1)^n Cn9^n (for n = 0 to ∞)
= Σ Cn(-9)^n (for n = 0 to ∞)
This is obtained after substituting -9 for x in ΣCnx^n = 0
So, x = -9
This is outside the boundary {-7,7}.
Hence, the given series diverges
Answer:21 cm
Step-by-step explanation: The circle's circumference is 84 cm. 84 / 4 = 21. Therefore the length of the arc XY is 21 cm.
Answer:
x < -5 or x = 1 or 2 < x < 3 or x > 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given <u>rational inequality</u>:





Therefore:

Find the roots by solving f(x) = 0 (set the numerator to zero):



Find the restrictions by solving f(x) = <em>undefined </em>(set the denominator to zero):




Create a sign chart, using closed dots for the <u>roots</u> and open dots for the <u>restrictions</u> (see attached).
Choose a test value for each region, including one to the left of all the critical values and one to the right of all the critical values.
Test values: -6, 0, 1.5, 2.5, 4
For each test value, determine if the function is positive or negative:





Record the results on the sign chart for each region (see attached).
As we need to find the values for which f(x) ≥ 0, shade the appropriate regions (zero or positive) on the sign chart (see attached).
Therefore, the solution set is:
x < -5 or x = 1 or 2 < x < 3 or x > 3
As interval notation:
