ans

here let mary age be x and fred be y

1st equation

x= 5y

2nd equation

x+3 =4(y+3)

now from 1st equation putting value of x in equation 2

x+3 = 4y+12

5y+3 = 4y +12

y = 9

so fred is 9 and mary is 45

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(2-6x)-4(x+3/2)=-(x-3)+4

(1-3x)-4x-6=-x+3+4

-7x-5=-x+7

Tranpose

-7x+x=5+7

-6x=12

Divide by -6

x=-2

Find the radius of convergence, r, of the series. ? n2xn 7 · 14 · 21 · ? · (7n) n = 1

defon

I'm guessing the series is supposed to be

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{n^2x^n}{7\cdot14\cdot21\cdot\cdots\cdot(7n)}$

By the ratio test, the series converges if the following limit is less than 1.

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{(n+1)^2x^{n+1}}{7\cdot14\cdot21\cdot\cdots\cdot(7n)\cdot(7(n+1))}}{\frac{n^2x^n}{7\cdot14\cdot21\cdot\cdots\cdot(7n)}}\right|$

The first $n$ terms in the numerator's denominator cancel with the denominator's denominator:

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{(n+1)^2x^{n+1}}{7(n+1)}}{n^2x^n}\right|$

$|x^n|$ also cancels out and the remaining factor of $|x|$ can be pulled out of the limit (as it doesn't depend on $n$ ).

$\displaystyle|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{(n+1)^2}{7(n+1)}}{n^2}\right|=|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{|n+1|}{7n^2}=0$

which means the series converges everywhere (independently of $x$ ), and so the radius of convergence is infinite.
