Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -8 =8x +4/2

3x -8 =8x +2

3x -3x -8 = 8x -3x +2 (subtract 3x both sides )

-8 = 5x +2

-8-2 =5x+2 -2 (subtract 2 both sides )

-10 =5x

-10/5 = 5x/5 (divide 5 both sides)

-2 = x

Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. If it converges, find the limit. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The sequence diverges.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence $a_{n}$ converges when $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} a_{n}$ is a real number.

In this question, the sequence given is:

$a_{n} = 4n\cos{(7n\pi)}$

The cosine is always going to be between -1 and 1, so for the convergence of the sequence, we look it as: $a_{n} = 4n$ . So

$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} a_{n} = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} 4n = \infty$

Since the limit is not a real number, the sequence diverges.
