[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.

Which series of transformations would result in a figure that is congruent to the triangle ABC?

reflection across the line y ox and then dilation with a scale factor of -3, centered at the origin
translation 3 units to right and then dilation with a scale factor of 3, centered at the origin
Answers
Answer: rotation of 180' clockwise about the origin and then dilation with a scale factor of -1, centered at the origin
Step-by-step explanation:
Two triangles are congruent if all the corresponding angles are equal, and if the corresponding side lengths are equal.
Now, this means that if we have a given triangle, and we apply a dilation/contraction, then the resultant triangle will have different side lengths than the initial triangle, then those two triangles can not be congruent.
So we can already discard all the options with dilations.
Now, remember how the dilation works.
If we have a point that is at a distance L of the origin, and we do a dilation of scale factor K centered at the origin, then the new distance of the point and the origin will be K*L.
Notice that if the scale factor is equal to 1, then there is no change.
In the options, we have one where the scale factor is -1.
The minus sign means that will cause the enlargement to appear on the other side of the center of enlargement. But the scale factor still is of absolute value 1, so it will not change anything.
Then the only option that not dilates the triangle is:
Rotation of 180' clockwise about the origin and then dilation with a scale factor of -1, centered at the origin
So this is the only transformation that results in a figure congruent to the triangle ABC

Answers
Answer:
the speed value that the radar equipment outputs.
Step-by-step explanation:
A random variable in an experiment is also (and most times the case) called a dependent variable. In this scenario, the random variable would be the speed value that the radar equipment outputs. This is because this value depends on the actual velocity of the cars that pass by the equipment. The faster the car is moving when it passes the radar the higher value will be displayed on the equipment. Therefore, depending completely on the vehicles.

Emma is 10 years younger than Joseph. Joseph's age 6 years from
now will exceed twice Emma's age 2 years ago by 3 years.
How old is Em ma and Joseph now?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let Emma age be x now
Let Joseph age be y now
If Emma is 10 years younger than Joseph, then x = y-10
six years from now:
Emma will be x+6 years
Joseph will be y+6 years
If Joseph's age 6 years from now will exceed twice Emma's age 2 years ago by 3 years, then:
y+6 = 2(x+6-2) + 3
y+6 = 2(x+4)+3
y + 6 = 2x+11
y + 6 = 2(y-10)+!1
y + 6 = 2y-20+11
y - 2y = -9-6
-y = -15
y = 15
Since x = y -10
x = 15-10
x = 5
Hence Emma is 5years old now and Joseph is 15years old now

In a certain section of Southern California, the distribution of monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment has a mean of $2,325 and a standard deviation of $270. The distribution of the monthly rent does not follow the normal distribution. In fact, it is positively skewed. What is the probability of selecting a sample of 50 one-bedroom apartments and finding the mean to be at least $2,245 per month
Answers
Answer:
0.982
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean (μ) = 2325
Standard deviation (σ) = 270
From the central limit theorem ; the Distribution of 50 sample means will be normally distributed
Finding the mean to be at least $2245 per month;
x = 2245
Using the Z score relation :
Zscore = (x - μ) / (σ/√n)
Zscore = (2245 - 2325) / (270/√50)
Zscore = - 80 / 38.183766
ZSCORE = - 2.0951312
= - 2.1
P(Z > - 2.1) = 0.982 ( from the Z probability Calculator).
An airplane is flying overhead at a constant elevation of 4090 ft. A person is viewing the plane from a position 3010 ft from the base of a radio tower. The airplane is flying horizontally away from the person. If the plane is flying at the rate of 700 ft/s, at what rate is the distance between the person and the plane increasing when the plane passes over the radio tower
Answers
Answer:
415 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
I've attached a diagram showing the triangle formed between the plane, the person and the radio tower.
From the attached diagram, x represents the position between the person and the position on the ground directly below the airplane while s represents the distance between the person and the plane.
The constant elevation remains 4090 ft while the value of x and s varies with time.
Thus, x varies with respect to time as dx/dt while s varies with respect to time as ds/dt.
Now, we are told that the plane is flying at the rate of 700 ft/s. This means that; dx/dt = 700 ft/s
Now we want to find the rate at which the distance between the person and the plane is increasing when the plane passes over the radio tower.
This means that we want to find ds/dt when x = 3010 ft
From pythagoras theorem if x = 3010 ft and the Elevation remains 4090 ft, we can find s as;
s = √(4090² + 3010²)
s = √25788200
s ≈ 5078.21 ft
Since we want to find ds/dt at x = 3010 ft, from the diagram, we can say from pythagoras theorem that;
x² + 4090² = s²
Differentiating x and s with respect to t, we have;
2x(dx/dt) = 2s(ds/dt)
2 will cancel out to give;
x(dx/dt) = s(ds/dt)
ds/dt = (x/s)(dx/dt)
Plugging in 700 for dx/dt, 3010 for x and 5078.21 for s, we have;
ds/dt = (3010/5078.21) × 700
ds/dt ≈ 415 ft/s

There are 7 ten-dollar bills and 16 five-dollar bills.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call:
T: Number of ten-dollar bills
F: Number of five-dollar bills
The amount of money withdrawn from the ATM is $150:
10T+5F=150
Dividing by 5:
[tex]2T+F=30\qquad\qquad [1][/tex]
We also know there are two more than twice as many five-dollar bills as there are ten-dollar bills:
[tex]F=2+2T\qquad\qquad [2][/tex]
Substituting [2] into [1]:
2T+2T+2=30
Rearranging:
2T+2T=30-2
Simplifying:
4T=28
Solving:
T=28/4=7
From [2]:
F=2+2*7=2+14=16
There are 7 ten-dollar bills and 16 five-dollar bills.

Answers
Answer:
Choice D. [tex]y = 0.75\, x + 5[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for the slope-intercept form of a line in a cartesian plane is [tex]y = m\, x + b[/tex], where:
[tex]m[/tex] is the slope of the line, and[tex]b[/tex] is the [tex]y[/tex]-intercept of the line. (The [tex]y\![/tex]-intercept of a line in a cartesian plane is the [tex]y\!\![/tex]-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the [tex]\! y \![/tex]-axis.)Start by finding the value of [tex]m[/tex]. The slope of a line is equal to its rise-over-run. For the two points in this question:
The "rise" is the [tex]y[/tex]-coordinate of the first point minus that of the second: [tex]\text{rise} = (-4) - 8 = -12[/tex].The "run" is the [tex]x[/tex]-coordinate of the first point minus that of the second. The order of these two points should stay the same: [tex]\text{run} = (-12) - 4 = -16[/tex].Calculate the slope of this line:
[tex]\displaystyle m = \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{-12}{-16} = 0.75[/tex].
The equation of the line becomes:
[tex]y = \underbrace{0.75}_{m}\, x + b[/tex].
Substitute the coordinates of either of the two points to find [tex]b[/tex]. For example, for the first point [tex](12, -4)[/tex], substitute in the following:
[tex]x = -12[/tex], and[tex]y = -4[/tex].The equation becomes:
[tex]-4 = 0.75 \times (-12) + b[/tex].
Solve for the value of [tex]b[/tex]:
[tex]b = 5[/tex].
Hence, the slope-intercept form of this line shall be:
[tex]y = 0.75\, x + 5[/tex].
