Evaluate the infinite sum:

Mathematics
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]2 years ago
5 0

Consider the <em>k</em>-th partial sum,

S_k = 1 + \dfrac2\pi + \dfrac3{\pi^2} + \cdots + \dfrac k{\pi^{k-1}}

More compactly,

\displaystyle S_k = \sum_{i=1}^k \frac i{\pi^{i-1}} = \frac{(1-\pi)k+\pi^{k+1}-\pi}{(1-\pi)^2\pi^{k-1}}

(this is just another case of a similar sum you asked about a while ago [24494877])

The infinite sum is the limit of the partial sum as <em>k</em> goes to infinity. We have

\displaystyle \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{(1-\pi)k+\pi^{k+1}-\pi}{(1-\pi)^2\pi^{k-1}} = \frac\pi{(1-\pi)^2} \lim_{k\to\infty} \left(\frac{(1-\pi)k}{\pi^k} + \pi - \frac1{\pi^{k-1}} \right) = \boxed{\frac{\pi^2}{(1-\pi)^2}}

since the non-constant terms in the limit converge to 0.

Alternatively, recall that for |<em>x</em>| < 1, we have

\dfrac1{1-x} = \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n

Differentiating both sides gives

\dfrac1{(1-x)^2} = \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}

also valid for |<em>x</em>| < 1. Take <em>x</em> = 1/<em>π</em> and you get the sum you want to compute.

Can someone help me round these two numbers? I completely forgot how ‍
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are rounding to nearest tenth

2.6  1.9

Nearest hundredth

2.6   1.87

If the number to the right of the one you want to round is 5 or above, you go up a number. If it's below, you go down 1.

Hope this helps.

Factor completely 10x2 + 2x − 8. (1 point)
ivanzaharov [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

10x²+2x-8=0

=>10x²+10x-8x-8=0

=>10x(x+1)-8(x+1)=0

=>(10x-8)(x+1)=0

=>2(5x-4)(x+1)=0

Determine whether each pair of functions are inverse functions. 1) f(x) = 8x – 10, g(x) = (x + 10) 2) f(x) = 4x + 5, g(x) = 4x –
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function you take it in y=f(x) form, switch x and y and then solve for the new y.

So I'll do the first one.

f(x) = 8x-10

y=8x-10 Now switch x and y

x = 8y-10 Now solve for y.  

x+10=8y

(x+10)/8 = y

g(x) is not that, so it is not the inverse.  Can you figure out the second one?
