Answer: 28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

x - the length of the shorter piece

2x - the length of the longer piece

Together they are 42 cm long.

Compose te equation:

2x + x = 42

3x = 42

x = 14 cm

The shorter piece is 14 cm, the longer piece is twice longer, 2x, or 2( 14 ).

Two times longer than 14 is 28. The longer piece is 28 cm.

Find the number to which the sequence {(3n+1)/(2n-1)} converges and prove that your answer is correct using the epsilon-N defini

Nat2105 [25]

By inspection, it's clear that the sequence must converge to $\dfrac32$ because

$\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}=\dfrac{3+\frac1n}{2-\frac1n}\approx\dfrac32$

when $n$ is arbitrarily large.

Now, for the limit as $n\to\infty$ to be equal to $\dfrac32$ is to say that for any $\varepsilon>0$ , there exists some $N$ such that whenever $n>N$ , it follows that

$\left|\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}-\dfrac32\right|$

From this inequality, we get

$\left|\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}-\dfrac32\right|=\left|\dfrac{(6n+2)-(6n-3)}{2(2n-1)}\right|=\dfrac52\dfrac1{|2n-1|}$
$\implies|2n-1|>\dfrac5{2\varepsilon}$
$\implies2n-1\dfrac5{2\varepsilon}$
$\implies n\dfrac12+\dfrac5{4\varepsilon}$

As we're considering $n\to\infty$ , we can omit the first inequality.

We can then see that choosing $N=\left\lceil\dfrac12+\dfrac5{4\varepsilon}\right\rceil$ will guarantee the condition for the limit to exist. We take the ceiling (least integer larger than the given bound) just so that $N\in\mathbb N$ .

Which set of ordered pairs below is a function?

Paha777 [63]

The answer is A.

Ordered pairs that equate to a function would not have two separate points with the same x-value. In other words, every x-value must be associated with only one y-value.

7 cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. How many different 7-card hands are possible if the drawing is done

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The number of different 7 card hands possibility is 133784560

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of different 7 card hands possibility is shown below:

Here we use the combination as the orders of choosing it is not significant

So,

The number of the different hands possible would be

= $^{52}C_7$

= 52! ÷ (7! × (52 - 7)!)

= 133784560

Hence, the number of different 7 card hands possibility is 133784560
