Answers:
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} = 6[/tex]
Based on the limit comparison test, the series is convergent
========================================================
Explanation:
As n gets really large, the terms [tex]3^n[/tex] and [tex]3^n-2[/tex] are effectively the same. Taking the limit to infinity of the ratio leads to 1.
In other words,
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{3^n}{3^n-2} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{3^n}{3^n} = 1[/tex]
That -2 doesn't really play a role when n gets very large.
This result is then multiplied by the 6 in the [tex]a_n[/tex] sequence, getting 6 as the final limit we want.
So,
[tex]L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(a_n \div b_n\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6}{3^n-2} \div \frac{1}{3^n}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6}{3^n-2} \times \frac{3^n}{1}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6*3^n}{3^n-2}\right)\\\\\\[/tex]
[tex]L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{3^n}{3^n-2}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{3^n}{3^n}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} (1)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*1\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6\\\\\\[/tex]
Since the limiting value is positive and not infinity, this means that both series [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] and [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] converge or they both diverge.
----------------------------
If we plug n = 2 into the [tex]b_n[/tex] sequence, we get
[tex]b_n = \frac{1}{3^n}\\\\b_2 = \frac{1}{3^2}\\\\b_2 = \frac{1}{9}[/tex]
The first term is a = 1/9
If we plugged n = 3, we would get [tex]b_3 = \frac{1}{27}[/tex]
This shows that the common ratio is r = 1/3
Because -1 < r < 1 is true, we know that the infinite geometric series converges. Therefore, [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] converges. We don't need to find the converging value.
Going back to the limit comparison test, we stated that both [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] and [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] either diverge together or converge together.
We've shown that the b series converges, so the 'a' series must converge as well.

Answer:
the answer is 4800
Answer:
What is mental math?
Mental math is definitely what it sounds like—doing math in your head. But it’s also more nuanced than that. Being good at mental math tricks doesn’t mean that you’re able to solve 8974387 x 396 in your head instantly; while cool, that wouldn’t be very practical for daily life. So what does mental math mean?
It really just means being able to calculate in your head. It doesn’t mean you can solve every type of problem every time, nor is it a skill that you either “have” or “don’t have”; it’s a skill that you can learn, practice, and improve so that you can solve a bigger range of problems. And mental math certainly doesn’t have to be entirely in your head, either. Jotting down the numbers you need to remember to give you a head start (no pun intended), or writing down your solutions at each “step,” does not negate the “mental”-ness of the math.
Is mental math useful?
Ask this question again next time you’re trying to figure out a tip or doing any kind of construction or home improvement project! And, in addition to handy practical uses, knowing how to do mental math can also just keep your brain sharp and curb your reliance on calculators. Because, come on, doesn’t it feel good to reach for a calculator only to realize, “Wait, I don’t need it!” and figure out the answer in your head? (Spoiler: It does!) Not to mention knowing how to mentally solve small, simple math problems can save you some steps and help you out if you do need to solve a more complicated, difficult problem. There are always going to be some math problems that it would be silly to not solve with a calculator, but, yes, mental math is useful. And if you’re wondering if math itself is useful, math lessons you’ll actually use in real life.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bowling lanes charge an hourly fee for bowling and $2 to rent shoes for the day. Gerry rented shoes and bowled for 2 hours and was charged $12
Which equation represents the cost, f(x), of bowling as a function of x, the number of hours of bowling?
O f(x) = 4x + 3
Of(x) = 2x + 2
Of(x) = 5x - 2
Of(x) = 5x + 2
Answer:
d) f(x) = 5x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to identify the variables and how they fit into the equation. in this case we know that the equation is f(x) = mx + b where f(x) is the total cost, m is the hourly cost, x is the number of hours bowled, and b is the price of the shoes.
Now, we need to solve for the hourly cost, so to do this we plug in all the known information to get 12 = m(2) + 2
To solve we need to isolate the variable by first subtracting 2 on both sides to get 10 = m(2) and then dividing both sides by 2 to get 5 = m.
Finally, since we now know that the hourly cost is $5 we can plug this information back into the equation to get f(x) = 5x + 2

Piper and her children went into a movie theater and she bought $59.50
bags of popcorn and candies. Each bag of popcorn costs $8.50 and each candy costs
$4.25. She bought 8 more candies than bags of popcorn. Graphically solve a system
of equations in order to determine the number of bags of popcorn, x, and the number
of candies, y, that Piper bought.
6 candy boxes
Step-by-step explanation :
Since they both bought their own popcorn that means they both spent $8 on popcorn making that a total of $16. Therefore we now only need to find one variable which is the number of candy boxes that they bought in order to reach the $25 total that they spent. This variable can be represented as x in the following algebraic equation.
(2*8) + 1.50x = 25
16 + 1.50x = 25 ... subtract 16 from both sides
1.50x = 9 ... divide both sides by 1.50
x = 6
Finally, we can see that Billy and Tommy bought a total of 6 candy boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:
Ethan bought 4 packages of pencils. After he gave 8 pencils to his friends, he had 40 pencils
left over. How many pencils were in each package? Use the drop-down menus to solve the
problem arithmetically and algebraically.
He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.

The formula κ(x)= f′′(x) 1+f′(x)23/2 expresses the curvature of a twice-differentiable plane curve as a function of x. Use this formula to find the curvature function of the following curve. f(x)=−5x2 The curvature function is κ(x)=nothing.
Answer:
K(x) = [tex]\frac{-10}{[1 + (-10x)^2]^{\frac{3}{2} } }[/tex] ( curvature function)
Step-by-step explanation:
considering the Given function
F(x) = [tex]-5x^2[/tex]
first Determine the value of F'(x)
F'(x) = [tex]\frac{d(-5x^2)}{dy}[/tex]
F'(x) = -10x
next we Determine the value of F"(x)
F"(x) = [tex]\frac{d(-10x)}{dy}[/tex]
F" (x) = -10
To find the curvature function we have to insert the values above into the given formula
K(x) [tex]= \frac{|f"(x)|}{[1 +( f'(x)^2)]^{\frac{3}{2} } }[/tex]
K(x) = [tex]\frac{-10}{[1 + (-10x)^2]^{\frac{3}{2} } }[/tex] ( curvature function)

The graph shows the cost C in dollars of W pounds of blueberries a proportional relationship. select all the true statements
A 1 pound of blueberries cost $2.75
B 2.75 pounds of blueberries cost $1
C 5pounds of blueberries cost $15
D 12 pounds of blueberries cost $33
E The point (3,9) is on the graph of the proportional relationship
Answer:
A, D
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost ($) = C
lbs (Blueberries) = W
One pound of blueberries costs $2.75 because to find how much 1 lb is you need to divide by 6.
6 is the number of pounds at that point in the graph, so you divide both the pounds and cost by 6 to find how much 1 lb is.
To find how much 5 lbs costs, multiply both the cost and number of pounds ($2.75 to 1 lb) by 5.
2.75 * 5 is 13.75 (This means C is wrong)
Do the same but with 12 for D
2.75 * 12 is 33, so D is correct
You could do the same method as above for E, but the easier way to do this is to see that the relationship of 3:9 is equal to a 1:3 ratio, which is the same as what the pounds to cost ratio is (which is 1:2.75)
Hope this helps! ^_^
A linear graph is represented by a straight line
The true options are:
A. 1 pound of blueberries cost $2.75 D. 12 pounds of blueberries cost $33The points on the graph are:
[tex]\mathbf{(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{(x_2,y_2) = (6,16.50)}[/tex]
The slope (m) of the graph is:
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{16.50 - 0}{6-0}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{16.50}{6}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{m = 2.75}[/tex]
The above means that: 1 pound of blueberries costs $2.75
Hence, (a) is true, and (b) is false
Multiply 2.75 by 5, to get the cost of 5 blueberries
[tex]\mathbf{C(5) = 2.75 \times 5=13.75}[/tex]
This means that: (c) is false
Multiply 2.75 by 12, to get the cost of 12 blueberries
[tex]\mathbf{C(12) = 2.75 \times 12=33}[/tex]
This means that: (d) is true
(e) is false, because:
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{9}{3} \ne 2.75}[/tex]
Hence, the true options are: (a) and (d)

Barb’s Grandma is always creating math problems for her to solve. In one problem she gave Barb a store receipt that listed 72 identical items, each the same price, for a total cost of $*67.9* Barb’s grandma covered the first and last digits of the total price on the receipt with stars. Determine the value of the digits that Barb’s Grandma covered.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
367.92
Step-by-step explanation:
72 = 9·8
In order for the total cost to be divisible by both 8 and 9, it must meet a couple of requirements:
The sum of the digits must be divisible by 9. The last three digits must be divisible by 8.In order for the sum of digits to be divisible by 9, the first and last digits must total 5 or 14. (The total of existing digits is 22. The sum needs to be 27 or 36.)
In order for the last three digits to be divisible by 8, the last digit must be 2*. So, the first digit must be 5-2=3.
The first digit is 3; the last digit is 2.
The total cost is 367.92. Each item price is 367.92/72 = $5.11.
_____
* 790/8 = 98.75, so (790 + 2)/8 will be 99. 792 is the only number starting with 79 that is divisible by 8.

Mr. Clopu buys an 18-month CD that pays 434% simple interest for $5,000. Find the value of the CD at the end of its term.
Answer:
FV= $5,325.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mr. Clopu buys an 18-month CD that pays 4.34% simple interest for $5,000.
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= (P*r*t) + P
P= $5,000
r= 0.0434/12= 0.00362
t= 18
FV= [(5,000*0.00362)*18] + 5,000
FV= $5,325.8
The value of the CD at the end of its term is $39,060
Given:
Time = 18 month
Principal = $5000
Interest rate = 434%
Future value = ?
Future value = Principal × Rate × Time
= 5,000 × 434% × 18
= 5000 × 434/100 × 18
= 5000 × 4.34 × 18
= 39,060
Therefore, the value of the CD at the end of its term is $39,060

Answer:
1½ mile
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3/10 mile = ⅕ hour
Required
Determine the distance in 1 hour
Since rate is constant, we have:
3/10 mile = ⅕ hour
Multiply both sides by 5
5 * 3/10 mile = ⅕ hour * 5
