Alright, lets get started.

The weight of first shipment = 1 ton 115 pounds

As we know, 1 ton = 2000 pounds, so

So, the weight of first shipment = 2000 + 115 = 2115 pounds

The weight of second shipment = 1723 pounds 7 ounces

The weight of third shipment = 957 pounds 11 ounces

So, adding all three weights = 2115 pounds + 1723 pounds 7 ounces + 957 pounds 11 ounces

So, all three weights = 4795 pounds 18 ounces

As we know, 16 ounces = 1 pound, so

all three weights = 4795 pound 1 pound 2 ounces

All three weights = 4796 pounds 2 ounces

4796 could be wriiten as 4000 + 796

As we know, 2000 pound = 1 ton so

All three weight = 2 tons 796 pounds 2 ounces

So, the total weight of three shipments = 2 tons 796 pounds 2 ounces   :   Answer

The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit in
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2})

And when we apply the limit we got that:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2}) =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit . 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2"

We have the following formula in order to find the sum of cubes:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} i^3

We can express this formula like this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}i^3 =\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2

And using this property we need to proof that: 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2

\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2

If we operate and we take out the 1/4 as a factor we got this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{n^4}

We can cancel n^2 and we got

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{(n+1)^2}{n^2}

We can reorder the terms like this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (\frac{n+1}{n})^2

We can do some algebra and we got:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+\frac{1}{n})^2

We can solve the square and we got:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2})

And when we apply the limit we got that:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2}) =1

Samuel was riding in the back seat of the station wagon on the way home after a long and tiring day at the
ki77a [65]

Answer: One fourth of the entire trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial distance is D.

" He fell asleep halfway home."

Then he fells asleep when the distance between his actual position and his house was half of D, or:

D/2.

"He didn't wake up until he still had half as far to go as he had already

gone while asleep."

So he wakes up when his actual position is a fourth of the initial distance:

(D/2)/2 = D/4.

Then if the entire trip has a distance D, and he was sleeping between:

D/2 - D/4 = 2D/4 - D/4 = D/4.

in a trip of a distance D, he was asleep a distance of D/4.

Then, returning to the question:

How much of the entire trip home was Samuel asleep?

This is equal to the quotient between the distance that he travels asleep and the total distance:

r = (D/4)/D = 1/4.

Then he was asleep in 1/4 of the entire trip.
