The same bedroom furniture set costs $1,500 in both Florida and Alabama. The table gives a breakdown of the taxes someone would pay when purchasing the furniture set in either state. Alabama Florida State of Alabama: 4.225% County Tax: 1.375% City Tax: 3.0% State of Florida: 6.5% County Tax: 1% City Tax: 1.625% Which statement is true? A. The furniture set is cheaper in Alabama, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by about $8. B. The furniture set is cheaper in Florida, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by about $10. C. The furniture set is cheaper in Alabama, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by $10. D. The furniture set costs the same in either state, because the amount of sales tax will be the same for the two locations.

A: True

B, C and D: False

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total sales tax for Alabama that is:

The total sales tax for Florida is:

The total sales tax is greater in Florida than in Alabama.

A. The furniture set is cheaper in Alabama, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by about $8. TRUE

The sales tax difference in this purchase can be calculated as:

B. The furniture set is cheaper in Florida, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by about $10. FALSE (it is cheaper in Alabama)

C. The furniture set is cheaper in Alabama, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by $10. FALSE (the sale tax in Alabama is $129)

The amount of sales tax in Alabama is:

D. The furniture set costs the same in either state, because the amount of sales tax will be the same for the two locations. FALSE (it is not the same in both states).

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}
