The cube less the square of a number is twice the number. If x is a positive integer, what is its value

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = number

x³ - x² = 2x

x³- x² - 2x = 0

x(x² - x - 2) = 0

x(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1, 0, 2

the only positive solution is the number 2

Use algebra to simplify the expression before evaluating the limit. In particular, factor the highest power of n from the numera
bija089 [108]

Answer:

a) {2/n²-7/n+9}/{8+2/n-6/n²}

b) 9/8

c) The sequence converges

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the limit of the function

limn→[infinity]2−7n+9n²/8n²+2n−6

To simplify the function given, we will have to factor out the highest power of n which is n² from the numerator and the denominator. The function will then become;

2−7n+9n²/8n²+2n−6

= n²{2/n²-7/n+9}/n²{8+2/n-6/n²}

The n² at the numerator will then cancel out the n² at the denominator to have resulting simplified equation as;

{2/n²-7/n+9}/{8+2/n-6/n²}

Evaluating the limit of the resulting equation will give;

limn→[infinity] {2/n²-7/n+9}/{8+2/n-6/n²}

Note that limn→[infinity] a/n = 0 where a is any constant.

Therefore;

limn→[infinity] {2/n²-7/n+9}/{8+2/n-6/n²}

= (0-0+9)/(8+0-0)

= 9/8

Since the limit of the sequence gives a finite value which is 9/8, thus the sequence in question is a convergent sequence.

The limit of a sequence only diverges if the limit of such sequence is an infinite value.

Basile [38]
$ 25.00-$10.81=14.19.
14.19-0.38=13.81.
13.81-10.00=3.81.
He can buy 10 packages of the peanuts.

What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 10% followed by a 16% decrease?
Neko [114]
So a decrease of 16% followed by an increase of 14% is the same as multiplying by 0.9576 (which is a decrease of 4.24%)
