It takes Sam 3 hours to rake the front lawn while his brother, Dave, can rake the lawn in 5 hours. How long will it take them to rake the lawn working together? Round to the nearest tenth.

3 hours + 5hours = 8 hours ÷ 2 =

4 hours is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 2 people working and need to know how long it would take them to finish a job. Working together on the same job, you add each of their total hours to do the job alone,, 5 + 3 = 8, then divide the 8 by 2 people

equals 4 hours for 2 people on 1 job.

geometric series converge the common ratio r has magnitude less than one.

which is equivalent to

for the example we need

|2-x| < 1

-1 < 2-x   and 2-x < 1

x < 3 and x > 1

we can write that

answer: 1 < x < 3

1a. common ratio r=250/25=10 > 1     diverges

1b.   r=50/100=1/2 converges

when these converge they converge to

where a is the first term.

answer: 200

1c. r=-1   so it's not the case that |r| < 1.     diverges

2a. x is the common ratio so we converge when |x|< 1

2b.   r=-10x / -2 = 5x.

we converge when

|5x| < 1

|x| < 1/5

2c.   r=3-2x

-1 < 3-2x and 3-2x < 1

-4 < -2x and 2 < 2x

x < 2 and 1 < x

1 < x < 2

2d. [/tex] r=-48x^3/12 = 4x^3[/tex]

|4x^3| < 1

|x^3| < \frac 1 4

|x| < 4^{-1/3}
