Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. 1 2 3 4 1 8 3 16 1 32 3 64 convergent divergent Correct:

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

This series diverges.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the series to converge, i.e. $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n =A$ it must hold that for any small $\epsilon$ >0, there must exist $n_0\in \mathbb{N}$ so that starting from that term of the series all of the following terms satisfy that $|a_n-A|n_0$ .

It is obvious that this cannot hold in our case because we have three sub-series of this observed series. One of them is a constant series with $a_n=1$ , the other is constant with $a_n=3$ , and the third one has terms that are approaching infinity.

Really, we can write this series like this:

$a_n=\begin{cases} 1 \ , \ n=4k+1, k\in \mathbb{N}_0\\ 2^{k}\ , \ n=2k, k\in \mathbb{N}_0\\3\ , \ n=4k+3, k\in \mathbb{N}_0\end{cases}$

If we denote the first series as $b_n=1$ , we will have that $\lim_{k \to \infty} b_k=1$ .

The second series is denoted as $c_k=2^k$ and we have that $\lim_{k \to \infty} c_k=+\infty$ .

The third sub-series $d_k=3$ is a constant series and it holds that $\lim_{k \to \infty} d_k=3$ .

Since those limits of sub-series are different, we can never find such $n_0\\$ so that every next term of the entire series is close to one number.

To make an example, if we observe the first sub-series if follows that A must be equal to 1. But if we chose $\epsilon =1$ , all those terms associated with the third sub-series will be out of this interval $(A-1, A+1)=(0, 2)$ .

Therefore, the observed series diverges.

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed (or, given by a random variable

topjm [15]

Answer:

(A) 0.15625

(B) 0.1875

(C) Can't be computed

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 32 and 64 minutes.

Let X = Amount of time taken by student to complete a statistics quiz

So, X ~ U(32 , 64)

The PDF of uniform distribution is given by;

f(X) = $\frac{1}{b-a}$ , a < X < b where a = 32 and b = 64

The CDF of Uniform distribution is P(X <= x) = $\frac{x-a}{b-a}$

(A) Probability that student requires more than 59 minutes to complete the quiz = P(X > 59)

P(X > 59) = 1 - P(X <= 59) = 1 - $\frac{x-a}{b-a}$ = 1 - $\frac{59-32}{64-32}$ = $1-\frac{27}{32}$ = 0.15625

(B) Probability that student completes the quiz in a time between 37 and 43 minutes = P(37 <= X <= 43) = P(X <= 43) - P(X < 37)

P(X <= 43) = $\frac{43-32}{64-32}$ = $\frac{11}{32}$ = 0.34375

P(X < 37) = $\frac{37-32}{64-32}$ = $\frac{5}{32}$ = 0.15625

P(37 <= X <= 43) = 0.34375 - 0.15625 = 0.1875

(C) Probability that student complete the quiz in exactly 44.74 minutes

= P(X = 44.74)

The above probability can't be computed because this is a continuous distribution and it can't give point wise probability.

Do you think a sequence of translations across the x- or y- axis and/or reflections on a figure could result in the same image a

vlabodo [156]

I think just two reflections would do it.

First we reflect around y = -x, the 45 degree line through the origin and the second and fourth quadrant.

Then we reflect through the y axis, x=0.

The composition of the two reflections is equivalent to a 90 degree clockwise rotation.

A friend tells you that he has a cubic equation with exactly three complex roots. Determine which explanation best explains why

Ksju [112]

Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.

a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.

therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.

if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.

Ethan and Leo start riding their bikes at the opposite ends of a 65-mile bike path. After Ethan has ridden 1.5 hours and Leo has

Ksenya-84 [330]

let Leo's speed = x mile/hr

so Ethan speed = (x + 6) miles per hour

Distance = Speed × Time

so distance traveled by Leo in 2 hours = x × 2 = 2x

and distance traveled by Ethan in 1.5 hours = 1.5( x + 6 ) = 1.5x + 9

since they meet on the path , After Ethan has ridden 1.5 hours and Leo has ridden 2 hours , so together the have traveled on complete path that is 65 miles.

⇒ distance traveled by leo in 2 hours + distance traveled by Ethan in 1.5 hours = 65

⇒ 2x + 1.5x + 9 = 65

⇒ 3.5x = 56

⇒ x = 16

Hence Leo's speed = x miles/hr = 16 miles/hour

and Ethan's speed = (x + 6) miles/hr = 16 +6 = 22 mile/hour
