Consider the infinite geometric sequence 25 , 5 , 1 , 0.2 , ... (a) Find the common ratio. (b) Find (i) the 10th term; (ii) an expression for the nth term. (c) Find the sum of the infinite sequence.

QUESTION (a) R = U(n+1)/U(n ) = 5/25= 0.2(b) (i) U(10) = 25 x (1/5)^9 = 0.0000128 (ii) U(n) = 25 x (1/5)^(n-1)(c) S = U(1)/(1-r) = 25/(1-(1/5))=25/(4/5))=125/4=31.25

Differentiate x^3⋅cos(5⋅x) with respect to x.

In order to solve this problem we will have to use the product rule as follows: d/dx[x^3⋅cos(5⋅x)]=[d/dx(x^3)]⋅cos(5x)+(x^3)⋅[d/dx[cos(5x)]]=(3⋅x^2)⋅cos(5⋅x)+(x^3)⋅−5⋅sin(5⋅x)=3⋅x^2⋅cos(5⋅x)−5⋅x...

Points P and Q are situated at coordinates (5,2) and (-7,8) respectively. Find a) The coordinates of the midpoint M of the line PQ [2 marks] b) The equation of the normal of the line PQ passing through the midpoint M [3 marks]

a) For finding the midpoint M, the point M must be equidistant from P and Q in both the x and y axes. Hence, we consider the x and y axis separately. The midpoint of the x coordinates is essentially a mea...
