f (4) =

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 4 t h term is   f(4)   = 143

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given  function f(1) = -4

Given 'nth' term is  f(n) = -3f(n-1) +5

Put n =2         f(2) = -3 f(2-1) +5

                             = -3 f(1) +5

                             = -3 (-4) +5

                             = 12 +5

                       f(2) = 17

put n= 3      

                         f(n) = -3f(n-1) +5  

                        f(3) = -3 f(3-1) +5

                            = -3f(2) +5

                           = -3(17) +5

                           = -51+5

                      f(3) = -46

Put n=4

                  f(n) = -3f(n-1) +5

                 f(4)  = -3f(4-1) +5

                 f(4)  = -3f(3)+5

                f(4)   = -3(-46)+5

                f(4)   = 138 +5

                f(4)   = 143

Final answer:-

The 4 t h term is   f(4)   = 143

house?


A.341,459

B.390,900

C.34,020

D.337,320

Answers

Answer:

$390,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that.

Initial payment = $965

New rapayment = $925

when she decided to refinance her ballon payment with a 30 year mortgage

In this case,

a 5/25 ballon mortgage simply means loan repayment for the first 5 years is at a fixed rate.

Which means the total amount she paid in the first five years was=

12 * 5 * $965

= $57,900

When she refinanced the payment with a 30 year mortgage, her total payment

= $925 * 12 * 30years

= $333,000

Total financed cost Patricia paid =

$57,900 + $333,000

= $390,900

looking up to the green on a hill. If the
tee is 36 yards lower than the green
and the angle of elevation from the tee
to the hole is 12º, find the distance from
the tee to the hole.​

Answers

Answer:

173.15 yards is the distance from tee to hole.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the image attached.

Let A is the position of tee and where the golfer is standing.

C is the position of hole.

CB is the vertical distance between greens and tee.

Angle of elevation, [tex]\angle BAC = 12^\circ[/tex]

To find: side AC.

Using trigonometric functions, we know that value of sine is:

[tex]sin\theta = \dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

Here [tex]\theta = \angle BAC = 12^\circ[/tex]

Perpendicular is side CB.

Hypotenuse is side AC.

[tex]sin12^\circ = \dfrac{\text{CB}}{\text{AC}}\\\Rightarrow \text{CB} = \dfrac{36}{sin12^\circ}\\\Rightarrow \text{CB} = 173.15\ yards[/tex]

Hence, 173.15 yards is the distance from tee to hole.

Two figures are arranged as shown. Which of the following can be used to the area of the figure
shaded light gray?
9
9​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]9^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is shown in the image attached.

Notice that the shaded light gray area can be calculated by the difference of the bigger square and the smaller square.

The area of the bigger square is: [tex]A_{big}=9^{2}[/tex]

The area of the smaller square is: [tex]A_{small}: x^{2}[/tex]

The difference between these areas is: [tex]A=9^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the expression that can be used to find the light gray area is: [tex]9^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]

Additionally, the expression [tex]x(9-x)+9(9-x)[/tex] is also a right answer, because it's equivalent to the first answer.

[tex]x(9-x)+9(9-x)=9x-x^{2} +81-9x=81-x^{2} =9^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]

Some people take the early retirement option at age 62. According to the Social Security Administration, if you retire at age 62, your retirement benefits will be permanently reduced by 25%. If your monthly benefit, at full retirement age (67), would have been $1300 per month, and you retire at age 62, how much would you lose in total annual income over one year?

Answers

Answer:

$3900.

Step-by-step explanation:

If retirement is taken at the age of 67 years, income  = $1300 per month.

% Loss, if retirement taken at the age of 62 years = 25% per month

Loss in dollars per month if retirement taken at the age of 62 years = 25% of Monthly income if retirement is taken at the age of 67 years

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{25}{100} \times 1300\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1300}{4}\\\Rightarrow 325 \$[/tex]

We know that there are 12 months in an year.

So, annual loss in total annual income over one year:

Loss in dollars per month [tex]\times[/tex] 12 :

325 [tex]\times[/tex] 12 = 3900$

Answer: $3,900

Step-by-step explanation:

What you usually make:

$1300 * 12 months = $15600

What you make with the cut:

$1300 * 0.75 = $975

* 12 months = $11700

15600-11700 = $3900

Find the interval of decrease. (Enter your answer using interval notation.) (b) Find the local minimum value(s). (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) Find the local maximum value(s). (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) (c) Find the inflection points.

Answers

Answer:

Please, read the answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following function:

[tex]f(x)=12x^4-4x^2+5[/tex]

(a) To find the intervals of increase or decrease of f(x) you first calculate the derivative of f(x):

[tex]\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[12x^4-4x^2+5]\\\\\frac{df}{dx}=12(4)x^3-4(2)x=48x^3-8x[/tex]   (2)

Next, you equal the derivative to zero and obtain the roots of the obtained polynomial:

[tex]48x^3-8x=0\\\\6x^3-x=0\\\\x(6x^2-1)=0[/tex]

Then, you have the following roots for x:

[tex]x_1=0\\\\x_{2,3}=\pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{6}}[/tex] =  ±0.40

Hence, there are three special points.

Next, you evaluate the derivative (expression (2)) for the x values close to the x1, x2 and x3. The values of the derivative give to us the value of the slope of a tangent line in that point, and so, if the function increases or decreases:

First interval, for a number lower than -0.40

[tex]48(-0.41)^3-8(-0.41)=-0.02<0[/tex]

The function decreases in the interval:

[tex](-\inft,-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}})[/tex]

It is necessary that after x=-0.40 the function increases until the next special point, that is x=0. Then, the interval in which the function increases is:

[tex](-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},0)[/tex]

By symmetry, from the point x=0 until x=0.40 the function decreases.

[tex](0,\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}})[/tex]

Next, you evaluate the expression (2) for a number higher than 0.40:

[tex]48(0.41)^3-8(0.41)=0.02>0[/tex]

Then, the function increases for the following interval:

[tex](\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},+\infty)[/tex]

(b) Due to the results obtained in the previous step you can conclude that the local minimum are:

[tex]x_{min}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\\\\x_{min}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}[/tex]

[tex]P_1(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},f(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}))=P_1(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},4.66)\\\\P_2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},f(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}))=P_2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},4.66)[/tex]

[tex]P_1(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},0)\\\\P_2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},0)[/tex]

(these are the point in which the function change of a decrease to an increase)

The same reason as before. There in one local maximum:

[tex]x_{max}=0[/tex]

[tex]P(0,f(0))=P(0,5)[/tex]

(c) The inflection points are calculated by using the second derivative:

[tex]\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}=144x^2-8=0\\\\x^2=\frac{8}{144}=\frac{1}{18}\\\\x=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{18}}[/tex]

Then , there are two inflection points , given by:

[tex]P_1(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{18}},f(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{18}}))=P_1(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{18}},4.82)\\\\P_2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{18}},f(\frac{1}{\sqrt{18}}))=P_2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{18}},4.82)[/tex]

In a study of the effect of college student employment on academic performance, the following summary statistics for GPA were reported for a sample of students who worked and for a sample of students who did not work. The samples were selected at random from working and nonworking students at a university. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use μemployed − μnot employed. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Students Who
Are Not Employed 116 3.33 0.524

t =
df =
P =

Does this information support the hypothesis that for students at this university, those who are not employed have a higher mean GPA than those who are employed? Use a significance level of 0.05.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μemployed(μ1) be the sample mean of students who are employed and μnot employed(μ2) be the sample mean of students who are not employed

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean of the employed and unemployed students.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 < μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 < 0

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(μ1 - μ2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

μ1 = 3.22

μ2 = 3.33

s1 = 0.475

s2 = 0.524

n1 = 172

n2 = 116

t = (3.22 - 3.33)/√(0.475²/172 + 0.524²/116)

t = - 1.81

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [0.475²/172 + 0.524²/116]²/[(1/172 - 1)(0.475²/172)² + (1/116 - 1)(0.524²/116)²] = 0.00001353363/0.00000005878

df = 230

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.036

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.036, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, at a 5% significant level, this information support the hypothesis that for students at this university, those who are not employed have a higher mean GPA than those who are employed

He was Emperor of the French as Napoleon I from 1804 until 1814 and again briefly in 1815 during the Hundred Days. Napoleon dominated European and global affairs for more than a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic Wars. He won most of these wars and the vast majority of his battles, building a large empire that ruled over much of continental Europe before its final collapse in 1815. He is considered one of the greatest commanders in history, and his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy has endured as one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in human history.

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below. Reyna got a score of 75.3; this version has a mean of 69.3 and a standard deviation of 12. Kaitlyn got a score of 228.4; this version has a mean of 206 and a standard deviation of 28. Cade got a score of 7.88; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4. If the company has only one position to fill and prefers to fill it with the applicant who performed best on the aptitude test, which of the applicants should be offered the job?

Answers

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, Cade should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If the company has only one position to fill and prefers to fill it with the applicant who performed best on the aptitude test, which of the applicants should be offered the job?

Whoever had the higher z-score.

Reyna:

Reyna got a score of 75.3; this version has a mean of 69.3 and a standard deviation of 12.

This means that [tex]X = 75.3, \mu = 69.3, \sigma = 12[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{75.3 - 69.3}{12}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]

Kaitlyn:

Kaitlyn got a score of 228.4; this version has a mean of 206 and a standard deviation of 28.

This means that [tex]X = 228.4, \mu = 206, \sigma = 28[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{228.4 - 206}{28}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.8[/tex]

Cade:

Cade got a score of 7.88; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4. This means that [tex]X = 7.88, \mu = 7.2, \sigma = 0.4[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{7.88 - 7.2}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex]

Due to the higher z-score, Cade should be offered the job.
