Get started for freeWhenever a certain ball is dropped, it always rebounds to a height p% (0 < p < 100) of its original position. What is the total distance the ball travels before coming to rest when it is dropped from a height of h meters?
Determine whether the series converges or diverges. Give the sum of the convergent series.
Let be a continuous, positive, and decreasing function. Complete the proof of the integral test (Theorem 7.28) by showing that if the improper integral converges, then the series localid="1649180069308" does too.
Let be any real number. Show that there is a rearrangement of the terms of the alternating harmonic series that converges to . (Hint: Argue that if you add up some finite number of the terms of , the sum will be greater than . Then argue that, by adding in some other finite number of the terms of
, you can get the sum to be less than . By alternately adding terms from these two divergent series as described in the preceding two steps, explain why the sequence of partial sums you are constructing will converge to .)
