[infinity]
Σ 8/n^2-1
n=3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sum converges at: [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{8}{n^2 - 1}[/tex]

Express the denominator as difference of two squares

[tex]\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{8}{(n - 1)(n+1)}[/tex]

Express 8 as 4 * 2

[tex]\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{4 * 2}{(n - 1)(n+1)}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]4 * \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{2}{(n - 1)(n+1)}[/tex]

Express 2 as 1 + 1 + 0

[tex]4 * \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{1+1+0}{(n - 1)(n+1)}[/tex]

Express 0 as n - n

[tex]4 * \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{1+1+n - n}{(n - 1)(n+1)}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]4 * \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{(n + 1)-(n - 1)}{(n - 1)(n+1)}[/tex]

Split

[tex]4 * \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{(n + 1)}{(n - 1)(n+1)}-\frac{(n - 1)}{(n - 1)(n+1)}[/tex]

Cancel out like terms

[tex]4 * \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{1}{(n - 1)}-\frac{1}{(n+1)}[/tex]

In the above statement, we have:

[tex]a_3 + a_5 = 4[(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4}) + (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{6})][/tex]

[tex]a_3 + a_5 = 4[(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6})][/tex]

Add [tex]a_7[/tex]

[tex]a_3 + a_5 + a_7= 4[(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6}) + (\frac{1}{7 - 1} - \frac{1}{7+1})][/tex]

[tex]a_3 + a_5 + a_7= 4[(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6}) + (\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{8})][/tex]

[tex]a_3 + a_5 + a_7= 4[(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{8})][/tex]

Notice that the pattern follows:

[tex]a_3 + a_5 + a_7 + ...... + a_{k}= 4[(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{k+1})][/tex]

The above represent the odd sums (say S1)

For the even sums, we have:

[tex]4 * \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n =2} \frac{1}{(n - 1)}-\frac{1}{(n+1)}[/tex]

In the above statement, we have:

[tex]a_4 + a_6 = 4[(\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{5}) + (\frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{7})][/tex]

[tex]a_4 + a_6 = 4[(\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{7})][/tex]

Add [tex]a_8[/tex] to both sides

[tex]a_4 + a_6 +a_8 = 4[(\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{7}) + \frac{1}{7} - \frac{1}{9}][/tex]

[tex]a_4 + a_6 +a_8 = 4[\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{9}][/tex]

Notice that the pattern follows:

[tex]a_4 + a_6 + a_8 + ...... + a_{k}= 4[(\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{k+1})][/tex]

The above represent the even sums (say S2)

The total sum (S) is:

[tex]S = S_1 + S_2[/tex]

[tex]S =4[(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{k+1})] + 4[(\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{k+1})][/tex]

Remove all k terms

[tex]S =4[(\frac{1}{2}] + 4[(\frac{1}{3}][/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]S =\frac{4}{2} + \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]S =\frac{12 + 8}{6}[/tex]

[tex]S =\frac{20}{6}[/tex]

[tex]S =\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

The sum converges at: [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Plot A of Astan Apple Orchard's produced an average of 246.343 bushels of apples over the last 5 years. The average number of bad bushels in the same period was 20.12. The approximate percentage of bad bushels was

Answers

Answer:

The approximate percentage of bad bushels was 8.17%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of bad bushels is given by the average number of bad bushels multiplied by 100 and divided by the average of bushels.

We have that:

Average number of bushels: 246.343

Average number of bad bushels: 20.12

The approximate percentage of bad bushels was

20.12*100%/246.343 = 8.17%

The approximate percentage of bad bushels was 8.17%.

Four times the sum of 5 and some number is 4. What is the number

Answers

Answer:

n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the sum of 5 and some number translates to 5 + x.

2. 5 + x is getting multiplied by 4, so the equation will then become 4(5 + n).

3. This entire equation is equal to 4, which we can see where the problem says "is four". In other words, four times the sum of 5 + n is equal to 4. 4(5 + n) = 4

4. Now you can solve the equation. When solved, the answer is n = -4

Answers

Respuesta:

10.0 minutos

Explicación paso a paso:

Distancia total recorrida caminando de C a A pasando por T:

500 yardas + 700 yardas = 1200 yardas

Tiempo necesario para recorrer 200 yardas = 14 minutos

Caminando directamente de C a A:

La distancia se puede obtener usando una relación trigonométrica:

Hipotenusa = √ (opuesto² + adyacente²)

Hipotenusa = √500² + 700²

Hipoteno = 860.23252 yardas

Por eso ; Si

1200 yardas = 14 minutos

860.23252 yardas = x

Multiplicar en cruz:

1200x = 12043,255

x = 12043,255 / 1200

x = 10.036 minutos

El tiempo necesario para caminar directamente será: 10.0 minutos

The driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour is between 284.7 and 310.6 yards (according to GolfWeek). Assume that the driving distance for these golfers is uniformly distributed over this interval. a. Give a mathematical expression for the probability density function of driving distance. b. What is the probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{25.9}[/tex]

b) 0.2046 = 20.46% probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value above x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability density function of the uniform distribution is:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a}[/tex]

The driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour is between 284.7 and 310.6 yards.

This means that [tex]a = 284.7, b = 310.6[/tex].

a. Give a mathematical expression for the probability density function of driving distance.

[tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a} = \frac{1}{310.6-284.7} = \frac{1}{25.9}[/tex]

b. What is the probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards?

[tex]P(X < 290) = \frac{290 - 284.7}{310.6-284.7} = 0.2046[/tex]

0.2046 = 20.46% probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards

What method would be best to use 53=4(x-3)^2-11

Answers

Answer:

x = 7 , -1

Step-by-step explanation:

SOLUTION :-

[tex]4(x-3)^2-11 = 53[/tex]

Add 11 to both the sides.

[tex]=> 4(x-3)^2-11+11=53+11[/tex]

[tex]=> 4(x-3)^2 = 64[/tex]

Divide both the sides by 4.

[tex]=> \frac{4(x-3)^2}{4} = \frac{64}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=> (x-3)^2 = 16[/tex]

Root square both the sides.

[tex]=> \sqrt{(x-3)^2} = \sqrt{16}[/tex]

[tex]=> x-3 = +4 \; or -4[/tex]

Here , x will have two values -

1) [tex]x-3 = 4[/tex]

[tex]=> x = 4 + 3 = 7[/tex]

2) [tex]x - 3 = -4[/tex]

[tex]=> x = -4 + 3 = -1[/tex]

VERIFICATION :-

When x = 7 ,

[tex]4(x-3)^2 - 11 = 4(7 - 3)^2 - 11[/tex]

                       [tex]= 4 \times 4^2 - 11[/tex]

                       [tex]= 4 \times 16 - 11[/tex]

                       [tex]= 64 - 11[/tex]

                       [tex]= 53[/tex]

When x = -1 ,

[tex]4(x-3)^2 - 11 = 4(-1 - 3)^2 - 11[/tex]

                       [tex]= 4 \times (-4)^2 - 11[/tex]

                       [tex]= 4 \times 16 - 11[/tex]

                       [tex]= 64 - 11[/tex]

                       [tex]= 53[/tex]

O D. binomcdf(35, 0.5, 100)

Answers

Answer:

B. binomcdf(100, 0.5, 35)

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomcdf function:

The binomcdf function has the following syntax:

binomcdf(n,p,a)

In which n is the number of trials, p is the probability of a success in a trial and a is the number of sucesses.

35 or fewer heads come up when flipping a coin 100 times.

100 coins are flipped, which means that n = 100.

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so p = 0.5

35 or fewer heads, so a = 35.

Then

binomcdf(n,p,a) = binomcdf(100,0.5,35)

The correct answer is given by option B.

The average height of BYU freshman from a random sample of 450 freshman at BYU is 68 inches with a standard deviation of 1.5 inches. What is the 98% confidence interval for the average height of BYU freshman?

b. (67.83, 68.17)
c. (66.5. 69.5)
d. (67.86, 68.14)

Answers

Answer:

b. (67.83, 68.17)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.01 = 0.99[/tex], so Z = 2.327.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.327\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{450}} = 0.17[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 68 - 0.17 = 67.83.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 68 + 0.17 = 68.17.

This means that the correct answer is given by option B.

Now suppose that bigger cups are ordered and the machine’s mean amount dispensed is set at μ=12. Assuming we can precisely adjust σ, what should we set σtobe so that the actual amount dispensed is between 11 and 13 ounces, 95% of the time?

Answers

Answer:

σ should be adjusted at 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 12.

Assuming we can precisely adjust σ, what should we set σtobe so that the actual amount dispensed is between 11 and 13 ounces, 95% of the time?

13 should be 2 standard deviations above the mean of 12, and 11 should be two standard deviations below the mean.

So 1 should be worth two standard deviations. Then

[tex]2\sigma = 1[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 0.5[/tex]

σ should be adjusted at 0.5.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a square of side [tex]l[/tex], its diagonal would be [tex]l\sqrt{2}[/tex], and its area [tex]l^2[/tex]

If the big square has a area of 900, this implies that its side is [tex]\sqrt{900}[/tex], so the two diagonal of squares 2 and 4 added together would be [tex]\sqrt{900}[/tex], therefore one diagonal wold be [tex]\frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}[/tex]. and its side [tex]\frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]. The area (of one square) is [tex](\frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2=\frac{225}{2}[/tex]

finally the two areas combined (squares 2 and 4) would be 225

Answer:

425

Step-by-step explanation:

I used help from the guy above me to find 2 and 4 so look at theirs for those. (Thank You). For 1 and 3. Each one is 1/9 of the big square. So each one is 1/9*900=100 100*2=200. And then we add 225+200=425.
