Answer:

B. {16, 19, 20}

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality requires for any sides a, b, c you must have ...

a + b > c

b + c > a

c + a > b

The net result of those requirements are ...

the sum of the two shortest sides must be greater than the longest side
the length of the third side lies between the difference and sum of the other two sides

If we look at the offered side length choices, we see ...

A: 8+11 = 19 . . . not > 19; not a triangle

B: 16+19 = 35 > 20; could be a triangle

C: 3+4 = 7 . . . not > 8; not a triangle

D: 5+5 = 10 . . . not > 11; not a triangle

The side lengths {16, 19, 20} could represent the sides of a triangle.

Additional comment

The version of triangle inequality shown above ensures that a triangle will have non-zero area.

The alternative version of the triangle inequality uses ≥ instead of >. Triangles where a+b=c will look like a line segment--they will have zero area. Many authors disallow this case. (If it were allowed, then {8, 11, 19} would also be a "triangle.")

Answer:

n = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

"By inspection" is an appropriate method.

We are asked to compare the expressions

n·n

8·n

and find the value(s) of n that makes them equal. By inspection, we see that n=8 will make these expressions equal. We also know that both expressions will be zero when n=0.

More formally, we could write ...

n^2 = 8n . . . . the two formulas give the same value

n^2 -8n = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form

n(n -8) = 0 . . . . . factor

Using the zero product rule, we know the solutions will be the values of n that make the factors zero. Those values are ...

n = 0 . . . . . makes the factor n = 0

n = 8 . . . . . makes the factor (n-8) = 0

Generally, we're not interested in "trivial" solutions (n=0), so the only value of n that is of interest is n = 8.

A lot of times, I find a graphing calculator to be a quick and easy way to find function argument values that make expressions equal.

Use any of the methods to determine whether the series converges or diverges. Give reasons for your answer.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

It means $\sum_{n=1}^\inf} = \frac{7n^2-4n+3}{12+2n^6}$ also converges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual Series is::

$\sum_{n=1}^\inf} = \frac{7n^2-4n+3}{12+2n^6}$

The method we are going to use is comparison method:

According to comparison method, we have:

$\sum_{n=1}^{inf}a_n\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \sum_{n=1}^{inf}b_n$

If series one converges, the second converges and if second diverges series, one diverges

Now Simplify the given series:

Taking"n^2"common from numerator and "n^6"from denominator.

$=\frac{n^2[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{n^6[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]} \\\\=\frac{[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{n^4[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]}$

$\sum_{n=1}^{inf}a_n=\sum_{n=1}^{inf}\frac{[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \sum_{n=1}^{inf}b_n=\sum_{n=1}^{inf} \frac{1}{n^4}$

Now:

$\sum_{n=1}^{inf}a_n=\sum_{n=1}^{inf}\frac{[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]}\\ \\\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{[7-\frac{4}{n}+\frac{3}{n^2}]}{[\frac{12}{n^6}+2]}\\=\frac{7-\frac{4}{inf}+\frac{3}{inf}}{\frac{12}{inf}+2}\\\\=\frac{7}{2}$

So a_n is finite, so it converges.

Similarly b_n converges according to p-test.

P-test:

General form:

$\sum_{n=1}^{inf}\frac{1}{n^p}$

if p>1 then series converges. In oue case we have:

$\sum_{n=1}^{inf}b_n=\frac{1}{n^4}$

p=4 >1, so b_n also converges.

According to comparison test if both series converges, the final series also converges.

It means $\sum_{n=1}^\inf} = \frac{7n^2-4n+3}{12+2n^6}$ also converges.

if the measure of <BEC is (2x+3)° and x=30, which expression could represent the measure of <AED?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The answer is 3x-27

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angles are vertical from each other it means they are congruent. 2x+30 is 63, you plug in the x, 2(30)+30. You do that to the second one and also get 63, 3(30)-27. Therefore 3x-21 is the answer.
