The sequence converges to 5 as n goes to ∞. We can prove this rigorously:

The claim is that, for [tex]n\in\Bbb N[/tex],

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{5n-1}{n+1} = 5[/tex]

By definition of the limit, this means for any ε > 0, there exists some N such that for any n larger than N, we have

[tex]\left| \dfrac{5n-1}{n+1} - 5 \right| < \varepsilon[/tex]

In order to ensure this inequality, we work backwards to find N in terms of ε :

[tex]\left| \dfrac{5n-1}{n+1} - 5 \right| = \left| \dfrac{5n-1 - 5(n+1)}{n+1} \right| = \dfrac4{|n+1|} < \varepsilon[/tex]

n is a natural number, so n + 1 > 0 and |n + 1| = n + 1. Then

[tex]\dfrac4{n+1} < \varepsilon \implies \dfrac{n+1}4 > \dfrac1\varepsilon \implies n+1 > \dfrac4\varepsilon \implies n > \dfrac4\varepsilon - 1[/tex]

Let N be the smallest natural number greater than or equal to 4/ε - 1, i.e.

[tex]N = \left\lceil \dfrac4\varepsilon - 1 \right\rceil[/tex]

Then the proof follows: suppose

[tex]n \ge N = \left\lceil \dfrac4\varepsilon - 1 \right\rceil[/tex]

Then

[tex]n \ge \left\lceil\dfrac4\varepsilon - 1\right\rceil \implies n > \dfrac4\varepsilon - 1 \\\\ \implies n+1 > \dfrac4\varepsilon \\\\ \implies \dfrac4{n+1} < \varepsilon \\\\\implies \left|\dfrac{5n-1}{n+1}-5\right| < \varepsilon[/tex]

as required.

Or we can avoid the rigor and use some facts we know about limits:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{5n-1}{n+1} = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{5-\frac1n}{1+\frac1n} = 5[/tex]

since 1/n converges to 0 as n goes to ∞.

         11z-6=16, what is z?

[tex]\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}[/tex]

We need to make sure that all variables are on the left-hand side and the numbers are on the right-hand side.

Since we have a number on the left-hand side, we need to move it to the right-hand side with the opposite operation:-

11z=16+6

[tex]\it{11z=22}[/tex]

Divide by 11 on both sides:-

[tex]\it{z=2}[/tex]

We can check our solution by replacing z with 2 and seeing whether or not we end up with a true statement:-

[tex]\it{11(2)-6=16}[/tex]

[tex]\it{22-6=16}[/tex]

[tex]\it{16=16}[/tex]

So we conclude that our solution, z=2, is correct.

Solve the simultanious equations 2x+3y=13 4x-y=-2

Answers

Answer: x = 1/2, y = 4

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Lets solve it using Substitution Method :-

=> 2x + 3y = 13 (Eq. 1)
=> 4x - y = - 2 (Eq. 2)

From Eq. 2 :-

=> 4x - y = - 2
= - y = - 2 - 4x
=> y = 4x + 2 (Eq. 3)

Substitute value of ‘y’ in Eq. 1 :-

=> 2x + 3y = 13
= 2x + 3(4x + 2) = 13
= 2x + 12x + 6 = 13
= 14x = 13 - 6 = 7
=> x = 7/14 = 1/2

Substitute value of ‘x’ in Eq. 3 :-

=> y = 4x + 2
= y = 4(1/2) + 2
= y = 4/2 + 2
=> y = 2 + 2 = 4

Therefore; x = 1/2, y = 4

From the section formula, it was found that the coordinate for the point S is (12,21).

Section Formula

The coordinates of the point S which divides the line AB into two sections can be found from the application of the Section Formula that is presented below:

[tex]S=(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})[/tex], where

[tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex] are coordinates of A

[tex]x_2[/tex] and [tex]y_2[/tex] are coordinates of  B

Find the point S

The question gives  r=[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex], A=(21,3) and B=(6,33). From the ratio, you can find m=3 and n=2.

Next step, applying the internal section formula. Then, you have:

Answers

The THREE statements that would produce the truth value F when p is true and q is false are (a) p → q (b) ¬ p ∧ ¬ q (d) q ∨ ¬ p

How to determine the statements with a false truth value?

To do this, we simply analyze each option

The given parameters are:

p = true

q = false

(a) p → q

This means that:

If p then q

So, we have:

If true then false

The above statement would return false.

(b) ¬ p ∧ ¬ q

This means that:

If not p and not q

So, we have:

If not true and not false

i.e.

If false and true

The above statement would return false.

(c) p → ¬ q

This means that:

If p then not q

So, we have:

If true then not false

i.e.

If true then true

The above statement would return true.

(d) q ∨ ¬ p

This means that:

If q and not p

So, we have:

If false and not true

i.e.
