Answer:

Ben can type 510 words in 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between the number of words typed and the minutes is direcltly proportional, that is, with Ben type more minutes, he will end up typing more words.

Thus, we can use the rule of three:

words | minutes

153 --- 3

x --- 10

Now, we can just cross multiply them:

$153~ x~10 = x~ times~3$

$1530 = 3x\\3x= 1530\\x=\frac{1530}{3} \\= 510$

Thus, Ben can type 510 words in 10 minutes.

Find the radius of convergence, r, of the series. ∞ xn 2n − 1 n = 1 r = 1 find the interval, i, of convergence of the series. (e

Bingel [31]

Assuming the series is

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{x^n}{2n-1}$

The series will converge if

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

We have

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{x^{n+1}}{2(n+1)-1}}{\frac{x^n}{2n-1}}\right|=|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\frac1{2n+1}}{\frac1{2n-1}}=|x|-\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{2n-1}{2n+1}=|x|$

So the series will certainly converge if $-1$ , but we also need to check the endpoints of the interval.

If $x=1$ , then the series is a scaled harmonic series, which we know diverges.

On the other hand, if $x=-1$ , by the alternating series test we can show that the series converges, since

$\left|\dfrac{(-1)^n}{2n-1}\right|=\dfrac1{2n-1}\to0$

and is strictly decreasing.

So, the interval of convergence for the series is $-1\le x$ .

A group of 8 friends went to lunch and spent a total of $76, which included the food bill and a tip of $16. They decided to spli

Margarita [4]

1) The scenario is represented by the equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8, where x is the food bill.

2) The total food bill is represented by the equation x=60.

Both of these responses are correct.

Step-by-step instructions:

Because there are eight buddies in the group, the total money spent by them is $76 (including the $16 tip).

Our equation can be as follows if x is the food bill:

76/8 = (x+16)/8

Solving the Problem

9.5 = (x+16)/8

9.5*8 Equals x+16

x=76 -16 x=76 -16 x=76 -16 x=

60 = x

The cost of food is x=60.
