Consider the series [infinity]
∑ n/(n+1)!
N=1 A. Find the partial sums s1, s2, s3, and s4. Do you recognize the denominators? Use the pattern to guess a formula for sn. B. Use mathematical indication to prove your guess. C. Show that the given infinite series is convergent and find its sum.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. To find the partial sums of the series ∑n/(n+1)! from n = 1 to n = 4, we plug in the values of n and add them up:

s1 = 1/2! = 1/2

s2 = 1/2! + 2/3! = 1/2 + 2/6 = 2/3

s3 = 1/2! + 2/3! + 3/4! = 1/2 + 2/6 + 3/24 = 11/12

s4 = 1/2! + 2/3! + 3/4! + 4/5! = 1/2 + 2/6 + 3/24 + 4/120 = 23/30

The denominators of the terms in the partial sums are the factorials, specifically (n+1)!.

We notice that the terms in the numerator of the series are consecutive integers starting from 1. Therefore, we can write the nth term as n/(n+1)!, which can be expressed as (n+1)/(n+1)!, or simply 1/n! - 1/(n+1)!. Thus, the series can be written as:

∑n/(n+1)! = ∑[1/n! - 1/(n+1)!]

Using this expression, we can write the partial sum sn as:

sn = 1/1! - 1/(2!) + 1/2! - 1/(3!) + 1/3! - ... + 1/n! - 1/((n+1)!)

B. To prove that the formula for sn is correct, we can use mathematical induction.

Base case: n = 1

s1 = 1/1! - 1/(2!) = 1/2, which matches the formula for s1.

Inductive hypothesis: Assume that the formula for sn is correct for some value k, that is,

sk = 1/1! - 1/(2!) + 1/2! - 1/(3!) + 1/3! - ... + 1/k! - 1/((k+1)!).

Inductive step: We need to show that the formula is also correct for n = k+1, that is,

sk+1 = 1/1! - 1/(2!) + 1/2! - 1/(3!) + 1/3! - ... + 1/k! - 1/((k+1)!) + 1/((k+1)!) - 1/((k+2)!).

Simplifying this expression, we get:

sk+1 = sk + 1/((k+1)!) - 1/((k+2)!)

Using the inductive hypothesis, we substitute the formula for sk and simplify:

sk+1 = 1/1! - 1/(2!) + 1/2! - 1/(3!) + 1/3! - ... + 1/k! - 1/((k+1)!) + 1/((k+1)!) - 1/((k+2)!)

= 1/1! - 1/(2!) + 1/2! - 1/(3!) + 1/3! - ... + 1/k! + 1/((k+1)!) - 1/((k+2)!)

= ∑[1/n! - 1/(n

Answer 2

By examining the first few terms, we can see that the denominators are factorial expressions with a shift of 1, i.e., (n+1)! = (n+1)n!. Using this pattern, we can guess that the nth partial sum of the series is given by   sn = 1 - 1/(n+1).

The given series is a sum of terms of the form n/(n+1)! which have a pattern in their denominators.

To prove this guess, we can use mathematical induction. First, we note that s1 = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2. Now, assuming that sn = 1 - 1/(n+1), we can find sn+1 as follows:

sn+1 = sn + (n+1)/(n+2)!

= 1 - 1/(n+1) + (n+1)/(n+2)!

= 1 - 1/(n+2).

This confirms our guess that sn = 1 - 1/(n+1).

To show that the series is convergent, we can use the ratio test. The ratio of consecutive terms is given by (n+1)/(n+2), which approaches 1 as n approaches infinity. Since the limit of the ratio is less than 1, the series converges. To find its sum, we can use the formula for a convergent geometric series:

∑ n/(n+1)! = lim n→∞ sn = lim n→∞ (1 - 1/(n+1)) = 1.

Therefore, the sum of the given infinite series is 1.

What is the result when 3x3 + 20x2 – 11x – 28 is divided by x + 7?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's perform this division using synthetic division.  The coefficients of the given expression are {3, 20, -11, -28}, and the appropriate divisor is -7 (that comes from x + 7):

-7    /     3       20     -11       -28

                     -21        7       28

      -------------------------------------

             3         -1      -4         0

Since the remainder is 0, -7 is a root of the given expression, and the coefficients of the quotient are {3, -1, -4}.  The quotient is therefore

Which is the best first step when solving the following system of equations?
5C+40= 10
3C+2d=16

Answers

Answer:

multiply the second equation by - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5c + 4d = 10 → (1)

3c + 2d = 16 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate d

- 6c - 4d = - 32 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate d

- c + 0 = - 22

- c = - 22 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

c = 22

Substitute c = 22 into either of the 2 equations and solve for d

Substituting into (2)

3(22) + 2d = 16

66 + 2d = 16 ( subtract 66 from both sides )

2d = - 50 ( divide both sides by 2 )

d = - 25

solution is c = 22, d = - 25

-2 would be your answer

prove that the polynomials are nonnegative a^2-2ab+b^2+c^2

Answers

Answer:

a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca

= (1/2)(2a2 + 2b2 + 2c2 - 2ab - 2bc - 2ca)

= (1/2)(a2 - 2ab + b2 + b2 - 2bc + c2 + c2 - 2ca + a2)

= (1/2)[(a-b)2 + (b-c)2 + (c-a)2]

Now we know that, the square of a number is always greater than or equal to zero.

Hence, (1/2)[(a-b)2 + (b-c)2 + (c-a)2] ≥ 0 => it is always non-negative.

To prove this equation non-negative, you will have to convert the equation in terms of perfect square form containing a,b and c.

Now,
a²+b²+c²-ab-bc-ca
= ½ • ( 2a²+2b²+2c²-2ab-2bc -2ca )
= ½ • ( a² -2ab +b² +b² -2bc +c² +c² -2ac +a² )
= ½ • { (a-b)² + (b-c)² + (c-a)² }

For any value of a,b,c
(a-b)² ≥ 0,
(b-c)² ≥ 0,
(c-a)² ≥ 0,

So,
a²+b²+c²-ab-bc-ca = ½ • { (a-b)² + (b-c)² + (c-a)² } ≥ 0 i.e. Non-negative [ proved ]
