How do you determine what bn should be in a limit comparison test and a comparison test? When do you know that the series should use a limit comparison test or a comparison test to find if it is convergent/divergent? Examples would be greatly appreciated

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick a function that is the same "family".  It needs to be a function that you know diverges or converges.  So p-series and geometric series are common choices.  Often we make the numerators the same so that it's easy to compare.

For example, if you have an = 1 / (n − 1), you would choose bn = 1 / n.  Since n − 1 is less than n, we know an is greater than bn.  And since we know bn diverges, that means the larger function an also diverges.

Or, if you have an = 1 / (n + 1), we again choose bn = 1 / n.  However, comparison test is inconclusive here (an < bn, bn diverges), so we use limit comparison test instead.

lim(n→∞) an / bn

lim(n→∞) 1 / (n + 1) / (1 / n)

lim(n→∞) n / (n + 1)

1

The limit is greater than 0, and bn diverges, so an also diverges.

Let's try something more complicated.  Let's say an = e⁻ⁿ / (n + cos²n).  The numerator e⁻ⁿ is always less than 1, and the denominator is always greater than n.

If we again choose p-series bn = 1 / n, we know bn > an, and bn diverges, so comparison test is inconclusive.  Limit comparison test is possible, but tricky.

But, if we choose geometric series bn = e⁻ⁿ / 1, we know bn > an, and bn converges, so by comparison test, an converges as well.

We can try one more: an = (n² + 2) / (n⁴ + 5).  Let's choose bn = (n² + 2) / n⁴ = 1 / n² + 2 / n⁴.

The numerators are the same, but an has a larger denominator, so bn > an.  bn is the sum of two p-series which converge, so bn converges.  Therefore, an converges.

Answer:

Option A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

  The  95% confidence interval of the mean  score of all  New Jersey third graders  is  (58.957 ,  63.043)

   The sample size is  n =  184

   The sample average is  [tex]\mu = 65 \ points[/tex]

   The standard deviation is   [tex]\sigma  =  13 \ points[/tex]

    The  90%  confidence interval for the difference in mean score between lowa and New Jersey is  (-6.33 ,  -1.67 )

   The  p-value is  [tex]p-value  =  0.0048[/tex]

Generally given that the p-values is very low compared to the level of significance (100 -90 =  10% = 0.10 )  we can reject the null hypothesis which is usually a  claim that the means of the  population are the same )

Hence the population means are different .

Using the diagram, determine whether the angles are vertical angles, a linear pair, or neither. (Image is included)

Answers

Answer:

1.linear pair

2. neither

3. vertical

4. neither

5. vertical

6. neither

7. linear pair

8. neither

Step-by-step explanation:

the answers are starting from up to down, not side to side

We have the definitions of the Adjacent angles, linear angles, vertical angles.

Two angles are considered to be adjacent angles when they share a common vertex, a common side, but no common interior pointsWhen two lines intersect each other at a single point, linear pair of angles are formed. If the angles so formed are adjacent to each other after the intersection of the two lines, the angles are said to be linear.Two angles are said to be vertical angles when their sides form two pairs of opposite rays (straight lines).

So, from the figure we see that

<1 and <2 are linear pair  <2 and <4 are neither <6 and <8 are vertical <11 and <1 are neither<1 and <3 are vertical <4 and <5 are neither <8 and <9 are linear pair <10 and <7 are neither

Jessica, Kareem, and Lamar served a total of 64 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Jessica served 8 fewer orders than Lamar. Kareem served 2 times as
many orders as Lamar. How many orders did they each serve?

Answers

Answer:

Jessica: 10 orders

Lamar: 18 orders

Kareem: 36 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first designate each person with a letter.

The number of orders served by Jessica can be designated as [tex]J[/tex]

The number of orders served by Kareem can be designated as [tex]K[/tex]

The number of orders served by Lamar can be designated as [tex]L[/tex]

We know that they all served a total of 64 orders. This can be expressed as the sum of their orders equaling 64.

[tex]J+K+L=64[/tex]

We also know that Jessica served 8 fewer orders than Lamar. This can be expressed as the number of orders served by Jessica, [tex]J[/tex], being equal to Lamar's orders [tex]L[/tex] minus 8.

[tex]J = L-8[/tex]

Fianlly, we know that Kareem served twice as many orders as Lamar. This can be expressed as the number of order's served by Kareem, [tex]K[/tex], being 2 times Lamar's orders [tex]L[/tex].

[tex]K = 2L[/tex]

With these 2 equalities, we can substitute [tex]J[/tex] and [tex]K[/tex] in our original equation,

[tex]J+K+L=64[/tex]

with their values expressed as a subtraction or multiplication of [tex]L[/tex].

[tex]J[/tex] will be substituted with [tex]L-8[/tex], and [tex]K[/tex] will be substituted with [tex]2L[/tex].

[tex]J+K+L=64[/tex]

With substitutions:

[tex](L-8) + 2L + L = 64[/tex]

We can simplify this by combining the L-terms:

[tex]L + 2L + L -8 = 64\\4L - 8 = 64[/tex]

Next, we'll add 8 to both sides.

[tex]4L = 72[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]L = 18[/tex]

Thus, Lamar served 18 orders.

Using our expressions, we can find how many orders the others served.

Jessica:

[tex]J = L-8\\J = 18 -8\\J = 10[/tex]

Jessica served 10 orders.

Kareem:

[tex]K = 2L\\K = 2*18\\K = 36[/tex]

Kareem served 36 orders.

2.) Bill sells cleaning products on commission. He earns 40% commission on his sales. If
he has sales of $983, how much commission does he earn?

Answers

Answer:

$393.20

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two easy ways to solve this:

1) Use a setup and cross multiply.

First, set up your problem.

$ x    =  40%

$983    100%

$983 is the total amount, so it is equal to 100%. We're trying to find 40% of it, so we can label the amount as $x. Remember, each side has to be in the same type of measurements (i.e. dollars, percentages, inches, etc.).

Then, cross multiply. You should end up with:

100x = 39,320

Then, simplify.

x = 393.2

x = $393.20

2) Convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply.

First, convert the percentage you're looking for into a decimal:

40% × 100 = 0.4

Then, multiply the decimal with the total sales amount:

$983 × 0.4 = 393.2

                   = $393.20

40% × 100 = 0.4

$983 × 0.4 = $393.20

Bill earns $393.20 commission total.

Javier has a basket of oranges and apples. The number of oranges is 2 more than twice the number of apples in the basket. The difference of half the number of oranges and half the number of apples is 4.
An equation created to find the number of apples Javier has in the basket will have

Answers

Number of oranges is (2a + 2)

Half the number of oranges is 1/2(2a + 2)

Half the number of apples is 1/2a

The difference between half the number of oranges and half the number of apples equals 4 looks like this:

1/2(2a + 2) - 1/2a = 4

Now solve.

1/2(2a + 2) - 1/2a = 4 (multiply 1/2 by what's inside the parenthesis)

1a + 1 - 1/2a = 4

1a + 1 -1 - 1/2a = 4 - 1

1a - 1/2a = 3

1/2a = 3

1/2a ÷ 1/2 = 3 ÷ 1/2

a = 6

He has 6 apples.

Substitute 6 into the equation for the number of oranges.

2a + 2

2(6) + 2 = 14

He has 14 oranges.

Check your work.

The difference between half the number of oranges (7) and half the number of apples (3) does indeed equal 4.

Therefore, the equation has one solution.

A metric ton is a thousand kilograms, or 2,204.62 pounds.

Answer:

Mass on water on earth is 29.5×10^20 kg approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of earth= 5.9726 × 10^ 24 kg

water's mass is only 5 × 10 -4 percent of the Earth's total mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

P.E.M.D.A.S

4(x + 1) = 4x+4

now we have 4x + 4 = -3x - 10.

now we can combine like terms which are x

4x and -3x, to combine like terms we can either subtract 4x on both sides or -3x on both sides, but lets do 4x.

now we have this

4x + 4 = -3x - 10.

-4x          -4x

= 4 = -7x - 10

now we can isolate x by its self so we have to add 10 on both sides

4 = -7x - 10

+10       +10

and we get

14 = -7x

now we can divide -7 to get x by its self

14/-7 = -7/x

we get for our final answer

x = -2
