Evaluate the geometric series or state that it diverges. sigma^infinity_k=0(8/9)^k Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. sigma^infinity_k=0(8/9)^k The series diverges.

Answers

Answer 1

The series converges, since |8/9| = 8/9 < 1.

Let [tex]S_n[/tex] denote the n-th partial sum of the series,

[tex]S_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^n\left(\frac89\right)^k[/tex]

[tex]S_n=1+\dfrac89+\left(\dfrac89\right)^2+\cdots+\left(\dfrac89\right)^n[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 8/9:

[tex]\dfrac89S_n=\dfrac89+\left(\dfrac89\right)^2+\left(\dfrac89\right)^3+\cdots+\left(\dfrac89\right)^{n+1}[/tex]

Subtract this from [tex]S_n[/tex] to eliminate all but the first term in

[tex]S_n-\dfrac89S_n=1-\left(\dfrac89\right)^{n+1}[/tex]

Solve for [tex]S_n[/tex]:

[tex]\dfrac19S_n=1-\left(\dfrac89\right)^{n+1}[/tex]

[tex]S_n=9-9\left(\dfrac89\right)^{n+1}[/tex]

As [tex]n\to\infty[/tex], the exponential term vanishes, so that

[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\left(\frac89\right)^k=\boxed{9}[/tex]

The College of Business at Tech is planning to begin an online MBA program. The initial start-up cost for computing equipment, facilities, course development, and staff recruitment and development is $350,000.The college plans to charge tuition of $18,000 per student per year. However, the university administration will charge the college $12,000 per student for the first 100 students enrolled each year for administrative costs and its share of the tuition payments.
a. How many students does the college need to enroll in the first year to break even?
b. If the college can enroll 75 students the first year, how much profit will it make?
c. The college believes it can increase tuition to $24,000, but doing so would reduce enrollment to 35. Should the college consider doing this?

Answers

Answer:

a).To break even

They need to enroll 87 student

B) Profit=$100000

C) yeah they can think of that.

Profit= $70000

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial start up cost = $350000

Cost from adminstrative bodies

= 12000 for first 100 student

= $1200000

Total cost =$1200000+$350

Totral cost =$ 1550000

Tuition cost

= $18000 per student

To break even

The college needs to enroll

1550000/18000= 86.1

They need to enroll 87 student

B) if they enroll 75 students

Adminstrative cost = 12000*75

Adminstrative cost= 900000

Total cost= 350000+900000

Total cost =$ 1250000

Tuition fee= $18000*75

Tuition fee=$ 1350000

Their profit= 1350000-1250000

Profit=$100000

C).if tuition is $24000 and enrollment number= 35

Adminstrative cost = 35*12000

Adminstrative cost = $420000

Total cost= $770000

Tuition fee= $24000*35

Tuition fee= $840000

Profit= $840000-$770000

Profit= $70000

Solve the equation 12x+6y= 24 for x.

Answers

Answer: x = -1/2y + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 6y = 24  To solve for x  first start by subtracting 6y from both sides

      - 6y    -6y

12x =  24 - 6y    Now divide each side by 12

x= 2 - 1/2y

x=1.5 What you want to start with is isolating the x variable. To do that you want to get the 6y on the other side of the equal sign so you subtract 6y and so your equation should look like this 12x=-6y+24. Now you need to get x by itself so you need to divide the -6y+24 by 12 to get the x by itself. That then gets you -.5+2=x so the final answer would be x=1.5

Sue weighed 82 kg at the start of the year, but she has lost weight at a consistent rate because she has been diligent with her exercise and diet plan. Sue weighed herself at the end of each month and tracked her progress for the full year using the graph above. How much weight did Sue lose each month? Question 5 options: A) 4 kg B) 2 kg C) 3 kg D) 1 kg

Answers

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sue's weight at the start of the year = 82 kg

Sue weighed herself at the end of every year, so that the straight line on the graph shows the gradual reduction in the weight every month.

Slope of the line will describe the reduction in the weight per month.

Let the two points on the given line are (1, 80) and (11, 60).

Slope of the line will be,

m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

   = [tex]\frac{60-80}{11-1}[/tex]

   = -2 kg per month

(Here minus sign denotes the reduction of weight per month)

Option (B) will be the answer.

2 kg

The parabola y = x^2 at the points ___ and ___ when t = ____ and ____

Answers

Answer:

The parabola [tex]y=x^{2}[/tex] at the points [tex](-2+\sqrt{17},21-4\sqrt{17})[/tex] and [tex](-2-\sqrt{17},21+4\sqrt{17})[/tex] when [tex]t=t_{1}=-4+\sqrt{17}[/tex] and [tex]t=t_{2}=-4-\sqrt{17}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following line written in parametric form :

[tex]L(t)=(2+t,5-4t)[/tex] with [tex]t[/tex] ∈ IR.

In order to find the intersection between [tex]L(t)[/tex] and the parabola [tex]y=x^{2}[/tex] we know that ''[tex]2+t[/tex]'' is the x-coordinate of the line and ''[tex]5-4t[/tex]'' is the y-coordinate of the line. Now, to solve this problem we need to find the values of ''[tex]t[/tex]'' in which the intersection occurs. We can do this by replacing the components    ''[tex]x[/tex]'' and ''[tex]y[/tex]'' of [tex]L(t)[/tex] in the equation of the parabola ⇒

[tex]L(t)=(2+t,5-4t)[/tex] = ( x component , y component ) = ( x , y ) ⇒

In the parabola : [tex]y=x^{2}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]5-4t=(2+t)^{2}[/tex]

Solving the equation we find that :

[tex]t^{2}+8t-1=0[/tex]

Using the quadratic formula with

[tex]a=1[/tex] , [tex]b=8[/tex] and [tex]c=-1[/tex]

We find that the two possible values for t :

[tex]t_{1}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]     and  [tex]t_{2}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

are [tex]t_{1}=-4+\sqrt{17}[/tex] and [tex]t_{2}=-4-\sqrt{17}[/tex]

This values [tex]t_{1}[/tex] and [tex]t_{2}[/tex] are the values of the parameter t where the line intersects the parabola so we can find the points by replacing the values of the parameter in the equation [tex]L(t)[/tex] :

[tex]L(t_{1})=(-2+\sqrt{17},21-4\sqrt{17})[/tex] and

[tex]L(t_{2})=(-2-\sqrt{17},21+4\sqrt{17})[/tex]

The final answer is

The parabola [tex]y=x^{2}[/tex] at the points [tex](-2+\sqrt{17},21-4\sqrt{17})[/tex] and [tex](-2-\sqrt{17},21+4\sqrt{17})[/tex] when [tex]t=t_{1}=-4+\sqrt{17}[/tex] and [tex]t=t_{2}=-4-\sqrt{17}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Probability of DVD player breaking down before the warranty expires = 0.034

To find:

The probability that the player will not break down before the warranty expires = ?

Solution:

Here, The two events are:

1. The DVD player breaks down before the warranty gets expired.

2. The DVD player breaks down after the warranty gets expired

In other words, the 2nd event can be stated as:

The DVD does not break down before the warranty gets expired.

The two events here, have nothing in common i.e. they are mutually exclusive events.

So, Sum of their probabilities will be equal to 1.

[tex]\bold{P(E_1)+P(E_2)=1}\\\Rightarrow 0.034+P(E_2)=1\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=1-0.034\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=\bold{0.966}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the solid = 1444

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The region of the solid is bounded by the curves [tex]y = 38 \sqrt{cos \ x}[/tex] and the axis on [tex][-\dfrac{\pi}{2}, \dfrac{\pi}{2}][/tex]

using the slicing method

Let say the solid object extends from a to b and the cross-section of the solid perpendicular to the x-axis has an area expressed by function A.

Then, the volume of the solid is ;

[tex]V = \int ^b_a \ A(x) \ dx[/tex]

However, each perpendicular slice is an isosceles leg on the xy-plane and vertical leg above the x-axis

Then, the area of the perpendicular slice at a point [tex]x \ \epsilon \ [-\dfrac{\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{2}][/tex] is:

[tex]A(x) =\dfrac{1}{2} \times b \times h[/tex]

[tex]A(x) =\dfrac{1}{2} \times(38 \sqrt{cos \ x})^2[/tex]

[tex]A(x) =\dfrac{1444}{2} \ cos \ x[/tex]

[tex]A(x) =722 \ cos \ x[/tex]

Applying the general slicing method ;

[tex]V = \int ^b_a \ A(x) \ dx \\ \\ V = \int ^{\dfrac{\pi}{2} }_{-\dfrac{\pi}{2}} (722 \ cos x) \ dx \\ \\ V = 722 \int ^{\dfrac{\pi}{2}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{2}} cosx \dx[/tex]

[tex]V = 722 [ sin \ x ] ^{\dfrac{\pi}{2}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]V = 722 [sin \dfrac{\pi}{2} - sin (-\dfrac{\pi}{2})][/tex]

[tex]V = 722 [sin \dfrac{\pi}{2} + sin \dfrac{\pi}{2})][/tex]

[tex]V = 722 [1+1][/tex]

[tex]V = 722 [2][/tex]

V = 1444

∴ The volume of the solid = 1444

11. The shadow of a 10 m high pole is 6 metres. Find
the shadow of a 15 m high pole at the same time
of the day.​

Answers

Answer:

25m

Step-by-step explanation:

10/6 = length of shadow per metre of pole

so 15 x 10/6 = shadow of 15m high pole

150/6 = 25m

Simplify. 4+5(8−10)2 Enter your answer in the box.

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

4 + 5(8-10)2

4 + 5(-2)2

4 + 10(-2)

4 - 20

-16

The answer is: 24

I assume this is a question from k12

  4 + 5(8 - 10)^2

  4 + 5(-2)^2

  4 + 5(4)

  4 + 20

= 24

Hope this helps ^^

Answer:

A)

[tex]f'(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lIl} \frac{1}{2} & \quad x >2 \\ 0& \quad x =2\\1&\quad x<2 \end{array} \right.[/tex]

B) Continuous but not differentiable.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the piecewise function:

[tex]f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lIl} \frac{1}{2}x+5 & \quad x >2 \\ 6& \quad x =2\\x +4&\quad x<2 \end{array} \right.[/tex]

A)

To write the differentiated piecewise function, let's differentiate each equation separately. Thus:

1)

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{1}{2}x+5}][/tex]

Expand:

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{1}{2}x]+\frac{d}{dx}[5][/tex]

The derivative of a linear equation is just the slope. The derivative of a constant is 0. Thus:

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{1}{2}x+5}]=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

2)

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[6][/tex]

Again, the derivative of a constant is 0. Thus:

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[6]=0[/tex]

3)

We have:

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[x+4][/tex]

Expand:

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[x]+\frac{d}{dx}[4][/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]=1[/tex]

Now, let's substitute our original equations for the differentiated equations. The inequalities will stay the same. Therefore:

[tex]f'(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lIl} \frac{1}{2} & \quad x >2 \\ 0& \quad x =2\\1&\quad x<2 \end{array} \right.[/tex]

B)

For a function to be differentiable at a point, the function must be a) continuous at that point, and b) the left and right hand derivatives must be equivalent.

Let's first determine if the function is continuous at the point. Remember that a function is continuous at a point if and only if:

[tex]\lim_{x \to n^-} f(n)= \lim_{x \to n^+}f(n)=f(n)[/tex]

Let's find the left hand limit of f(x) at it approaches 2.

[tex]\lim_{x \to 2^-}f(x)[/tex]

Since it's coming from the left, let's use the third equation:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 2^-}f(x)\\=\lim_{x \to 2^-}(x+4)[/tex]

Direct substitution:

[tex]=(2+4)=6[/tex]

So:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 2^-}f(x)=6[/tex]

Now, let's find the right-hand limit:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 2^+}f(x)[/tex]

Since we're coming from the right, let's use the first equation:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 2^+}(\frac{1}{2}x+5)[/tex]

Direct substitution:

[tex](\frac{1}{2}(2)+5)[/tex]

Multiply and add:

[tex]=6[/tex]

So, both the left and right hand limits are equivalent. Now, find the limit at x=2.  

From the piecewise function, we can see that the value of f(2) is 6.

Therefore, the function is continuous at x=2.

Now, let's determine differentiability at x=2.

For a function to be differentiable at a point, both the right hand and left hand derivatives must be equivalent.

So, let's find the derivative of the function as x approahces 2 from the left and from the right.

From the differentiated piecewise function, we can see that as x approaches 2 from the left, the derivative is 1.

As x approaches 2 from the right, the derivative is 1/2.

Therefore, the right and left hand derivatives are not the same.

Thus, the function is continuous but not differentiable.

Find a formula for the inverse of the function. f(x) = e^6x − 9

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{6}\ln(x+9)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

[tex]f(x)=e^{6x}-9[/tex]

To solve for the inverse of a function, change f(x) and x, change the f(x) to f⁻¹(x), and solve for it. Therefore:

[tex]x=e^{6f^{-1}(x)}-9[/tex]

Add 9 to both sides:

[tex]x+9=e^{6f^{-1}(x)}[/tex]

Take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\ln(x+9)=\ln(e^{6f^{-1}(x)})[/tex]

The right side cancels:

[tex]\ln(x+9)=6f^{-1}(x)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6:

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{6}\ln(x+9)[/tex]

And we're done!
