Find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -5,13,31,49...

b(n)=__​

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Arithmetic sequence    -5, 13, 31, 49..........

We are to find the explicit formula of the sequence above. An explicit formula provides a binding formula for finding nth term.

To find the formula, we need to know the  first term and the common difference.

The common difference is the difference between each successive terms of the sequence.

In the given sequence, the common difference is 18;

      13-(-5) = 18

      31 - 13 = 18

      49 - 31 = 18

n    calculation of the nth term

1              -5                          -5  +  18(0)  = -5

2             13                          -5   + 18(1)  = 13

3             31                          -5   +  18(2)  = 31

4             49                         -5   +  18(3)  = 49

Since the common difference is 18, we can now derive the formula;

          b(n) = -5 + 18(n-1)

n is the position of the term

Any number in the sequence can be derived using the explicit formula

-5 + 18(n-1)

What is the median of the sample 5, 5, 11, 9, 8, 5, 8 ?​

Answers

Answer:

8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of any set of numbers is the middle-most number of the set when ordered from least to greatest. Ordering this set from least to greatest, we get "5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 9, 11." There are 7 numbers here, so the middle-most number is the 4th number, or 8. In the case that you have an even amount of numbers to choose, you take the average of the two middle-most numbers to find your median.

The median of the sample is the middle value of the data set which is number 8.

What is medians of the data set?

Median of the data set is the middle value of the data when data is arranged in the increasing order or decreasing order.

The data of the sample given in the problem is,

[tex]5, 5, 11, 9, 8, 5, 8[/tex]

Arrange this data in the increasing order.

[tex]5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 9, 11[/tex]

There is total 7 observation in the above data. The middle value will be the fourth number observation, which is 8.

Hence, the median of the sample is the middle value of the data set which is number 8.

A line passes through the points (–4,4) and (12,0). Which points lie on the same line? Select all that apply.

Answers

All the points (20, -2), (-2, 2), (4, 2), (8, 1), (-8, 5), and (16, -1) lie on the same line.

To determine which points lie on the same line passing through (-4, 4) and (12, 0), we can use the equation of a line.

First, we find the slope (m) of the line using the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1),

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two given points.

m = (0 - 4) / (12 - (-4)) = -4 / 16 = -1/4.

Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1),

where (x1, y1) is any point on the line.

Let's check which points satisfy this equation:

(20, -2):

-2 - 4 = (-1/4)(20 - (-4)),

-6 = (-1/4)(24),

-6 = -6.

The equation is true, so (20, -2) lies on the same line.

(-2, 2):

2 - 4 = (-1/4)(-2 - (-4)),

-2 = (-1/4)(2),

-2 = -2.

The equation is true, so (-2, 2) lies on the same line.

(4, 2):

2 - 4 = (-1/4)(4 - (-4)),

-2 = (-1/4)(8),

-2 = -2.

The equation is true, so (4, 2) lies on the same line.

(8, 1):

1 - 4 = (-1/4)(8 - (-4)),

-3 = (-1/4)(12),

-3 = -3.

The equation is true, so (8, 1) lies on the same line.

(-8, 5):

5 - 4 = (-1/4)(-8 - (-4)),

1 = (-1/4)(-4),

1 = 1.

The equation is true, so (-8, 5) lies on the same line.

(16, -1):

-1 - 4 = (-1/4)(16 - (-4)),

-5 = (-1/4)(20),

-5 = -5.

The equation is true, so (16, -1) lies on the same line.

In summary, all of the given points: (20, -2), (-2, 2), (4, 2), (8, 1), (-8, 5), and (16, -1) lie on the same line passing through the points (-4, 4) and (12, 0).

Suppose θ is an angle in the first quadrant and cos(θ) = 1/2. What is the value of sin(θ)?

A. 1/2
B. √3/2
C. 3/5
D. -√3/3

Answers

Answer:

B. [tex] \frac{\sqrt3}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since θ is in the first quadrant, both sin(θ) and cos(θ) are positive.

Using the Pythagorean identity,[tex]sin^2(θ) + cos^2(θ) = 1 [/tex]

we can solve for sin(θ) as follows:

[tex]sin^2(θ) + (\frac{1}{2})^2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]sin^2(θ) +\frac{1}{4}=1[/tex]

[tex]sin^2(θ) =1-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]sin^2(θ) =\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]sin(θ) = \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of sin(θ) is[tex] \frac{\sqrt3}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

given

cosΘ = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

this is a right triangle with hypotenuse = 2 and a leg = 1

using Pythagoras' identity to find the third side o , the opposite side, then

o² + 1² = 2²

o² + 1 = 4 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

o² = 3 ( take square root of both sides )

0 = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Then

sinΘ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

3. In determining food spending, it was found that the average meal in Albany is normally distributed, with a mean of $40 and a standard deviation of $4. Find the following: P(X < 40), P(38 < X < 42), P(X > 35), P(X > 51). Find a meal cost which happen to be cheaper than 10% of the meals based on a given data. Find a meal cost which happen to be in the 5% of the most expensive based on a given data. Find a meal costs which happen to be 40% symmetrically around the mean value based on a given data.

Answers

Answer:

a) P(X < 40) = 0.5

b) P(38 < X < 42) = 0.69143

c) P(X > 35) = 0.89435

d) P(X > 51) = 0.0029798

e) Find a meal cost which happen to be cheaper than 10% of the meals based on a given data. = $34.872

f) Find a meal cost which happen to be in the 5% of the most expensive based on a given data = $33.42

g) Find a meal costs which happen to be 40% symmetrically around the mean value based on a given data. = $38.988

Step-by-step explanation:

Z score formula = Z score = x - μ/σ

Mean = $40

Standard deviation = $4

a) P(X < 40)

Z score = x - μ/σ

= 40 - 40/4

= 0

Determining the Probability value from Z-Table:

P(X < 40) = 0.5

b) P(38 < X < 42)

For X = 38

Z score = x - μ/σ

= 38 - 40/4

= -0.5

Determining the Probability value from Z-Table:

P(X = 38) = 0.30854

For X = 42

Z score = x - μ/σ

= 42 - 40/4

= 4

Determining the Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 42) = 0.99997

Hence, P(38 < X < 42)

P(X = 42) - P(X = 38)

0.99997 - 0.30854

= 0.69143

c) P(X > 35)

Z score = x - μ/σ

= 35 - 40/4

= -1.25

Determining the Probability value from Z-Table:

P( X < 35) = 0.10565

P( X > 35) = 1 - P(X < 35)

1 - 0.10565

= 0.89435

d) P(X > 51)

Z score = x - μ/σ

= 51 - 40/4

= 2.75

Determining the Probability value from Z-Table:

P( X < 51) = 0.99702

P(X > 51) = 1 - P(X < 51)

= 1 - 0.99702

= 0.0029798

e) Find a meal cost which happen to be cheaper than 10% of the meals based on a given data.

z score for 10th percentile = -1.282

Z score formula = Z score = x - μ/σ

Mean = $40

-1.282 = x - 40/4

-1.282 × 4 = x - 40

-5.128 + 40 = x

$34.872

The meal cost which happen to be cheaper than 10% of the meals based on a given data is $34.872

f) Find a meal cost which happen to be in the 5% of the most expensive based on a given data

Z score for 5th percentile = -1.645

Z score formula = Z score = x - μ/σ

Mean = $40

-1.645 = x - 40/4

-1.645 × 4 = x - 40

-6.58 + 40 = x

$33.42

The meal cost which happen to be in the 5% of the most expensive based on a given data is $33.42

g) Find a meal costs which happen to be 40% symmetrically around the mean value based on a given data.

Z score for 40th percentile = -0.253

Z score formula = Z score = x - μ/σ

Mean = $40

-0.253 = x - 40/4

-0.253 × 4 = x - 40

-1.012 + 40 = x

When taking an exam, some students quickly answer all the questions they know how to do. If they go back and revise their answers, they start second guessing themselves and end up changing their choice from the correct answer to an incorrect one. Other students work through the exam very slowly - they think things very thoroughly, revise their answers several times, and carefully make sure they have not missed anything. In a class where we have both these types of students together, the correlation between the amount of time spent on an exam and their grade should be: _____________

a. Positive and fairly strong
b. Negative and fairly strong
c. Fairly weak

Answers

Answer:

c. Fairly weak

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question:

We can deduce that the correlation between those two criteria is fairly weak. This is because the first set of students who initially answered the question started second-guessing themselves, making them unsure about their decision when picking the right answers. They eventually ended up choosing the wrong answers when changing it.

Negative and fairly strong correlation exist between the amount of time spent on an exam and their grade.

What is negative correlation?

Negative correlation occurs between two variables in which as one variable increases the other decreases.

The first group finished very fast but recheck and picked wrong answer, although they were fast but they eventually had a wrong answer this is a negative correlation.

The second group worked slowly and ended up getting good mark this is a Fairly strong correction because there is a result for the time used.

Therefore, negative and fairly strong exist between time of exam and their grade.

Answers

The prime factorization of 36 is 2 * 2 * 3 * 3. Written in order from smallest to largest, the prime factors of 36 are 2, 2, 3, and 3.

The answer is:

2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Work/explanation:

The factors of 36 are:

4 × 9

But, these are not prime factors so we break them down even more :

2 × 2 × 3 × 3

This is how we write 36 as a product of its prime factors.

We could also use 6 × 6, then:

2 × 3

2 × 3

2 × 3 × 2 × 3

Rearrange from smallest to largest:

2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Once again we get the same answer.

Hence, that's the right answer.

Which point lies on the line with a slope of m=2/3 that passes through the point (-3,-2)?

A. (3,4)
B. (5,7)
C. (-8,-4)
D. (-9,-6)

Answers

Answer:

D. (-9,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given slope and point to solve for y using the point-slope equation.

y-y = m(x - x)

m= 2/3  (-3, -2)

y + 2 = 2/3(x + 3)

y + 2 = 2/3x + 2

y = 2/3x

Then plug in the x's in the points that you can choose from. If the y equals the y in the given point that is the answer.

( 3,4)      y = 2/3(3) = 2

( 5,7)      y = 2/3(5) = 10/3

( -8, -4)   y = 2/3(-8) = - 16/3

( -9, -6)    y = 2/3(-9) = -6
