Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore  \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore   \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\  \\ \therefore   \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2}  + x + 9x + 3 \\  \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 10x  - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 19x - 9x  - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore   \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore   \:  (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore   \: 3x + 19 = 0 \:  \: or \:  \: x - 3 = 0 \\  \therefore   \: x =  -  \frac{19}{3}  \:  \: or \:  \: x = 3 \\  \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \:  - ve \\ \therefore   \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}

vivado [14]

Answer:

a) A sequence is an ordered list of numbers whereas a series is the sum of a list of numbers; b) A series is divergent if it is not convergent. A convergent series is a series for which lim n → ∞ an exists.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is a pattern; it is an ordered list of numbers.  A series, however, is the sum of a sequence.

A convergent series is a series for which the sequence of its partial sums tends to a limit; this means the limit exists.  A divergent series is a series that is not convergent.

oksian1 [2.3K]
Equation represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps Malik collected: X-34=y

equation represents the total number of stamps Malik collected:
212 = X-34-y
so,
245= X-Y

Situation :
Y= X-34
X-Y= 245
