Suppose a term of a geometric sequence is a4 = 121.5 and the common ratio is 3. Write the formula for this sequence in the form an = a1 ⋅ rn−1. Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a_n = 4.5 * 3^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a_4 = 121.5[/tex]

[tex]r = 3[/tex]

Required

[tex]a_n = a_1 * r^{n -1}[/tex]

Substitute 4 for n in [tex]a_n = a_1 * r^{n -1}[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = a_1 * r^{4 -1}[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = a_1 * r^3[/tex]

Substitute 121.5 for [tex]a_4[/tex]

[tex]121.5 = a_1 * 3^3[/tex]

[tex]121.5 = a_1 * 27[/tex]

Solve for a1

[tex]a_1 = \frac{121.5}{27}[/tex]

[tex]a_1 = 4.5[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]a_n = a_1 * r^{n -1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 4.5 * 3^{n-1}[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

First I substituted 121.5 for an, 4 for n, and 3 for r in the general form. Then I solved to find a1 = 4.5. Finally, I substituted 4.5 for a1 and 3 for r in the general form to get an = 4.5 ⋅ 3n−1.

A home gardener estimates that 24 apple trees will have an average yield of 104 apples per tree. But because of the size of the garden, for each additional tree planted the yield will decrease by two apples per tree. (a) How many additional trees should be planted to maximize the total yield of apples

Answers

Answer:

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Trees = 24[/tex]

[tex]Yield = 104[/tex]

[tex]x \to additional\ trees[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Trees = 24 + x[/tex]

[tex]Yield = 104 - 2x[/tex]

Required

The additional trees to be planted for maximum yield

The function is:

[tex]f(x) = Trees * Yield[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = (24 + x) * (104 - 2x)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]f(x) = 24 * 104 + 104x - 24 * 2x - x * 2x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 2796 + 104x - 48x - 2x^2[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 2796 + 56x - 2x^2[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]f(x) = - 2x^2 + 56x + 2796[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]f'(x) = -4x + 56[/tex]

Equate [tex]f'(x) = -4x + 56[/tex] to 0 and solve for x to get the maximum of x

[tex]-4x + 56 = 0[/tex]

[tex]-4x =- 56[/tex]

Divide by -4

[tex]x =14[/tex]

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

Jack and Diane are jogging back and forth along a one-mile path. They started out at 9:00 A.M. from opposite ends of the path. They passed each other in 10 minutes when Diane has gone 1/3 mile. What time will they first meet at one end of the path? You have to assume they keep jogging at the same speeds.
Explain :

Answers

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

that problem description is imprecise.

I think what is meant here : they each keep jogging at their own same speed.

Diane's speed is 1/3 miles / 10 min.

Jack's speed is 2/3 miles / 10 min.

now, to bring this to regular miles/hour format, we need to find the factor between 10 minutes and an hour (60 minutes) and multiply numerator and denominator (top and bottom of the ratio) by it.

60/10 = 6.

so, we need to multiply both speeds up there by 6/6 to get the miles/hour speeds.

Diane : (1/3 × 6) / hour = 2 miles / hour

Jack : (2/3 × 6) / hour = 4 miles / hour

since Jack is running twice as fast as Diane, she will finish one length in the same time he finishes a round trip (back and forth).

Diane running 1 mile going 2 miles/hour takes her 30 minutes.

Jack running 2 miles (back and forth) going 4 miles/hour will take him also 30 minutes.

so, they will meet at his starting point after 30 minutes.

Determine the volume and the surface area of the three dimension figure

Answers

Answer:

Volume = 18 cm^3

Surface Area = 58 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume with the formula V=w*h*l

W= width

H = height

L = length

W= 2cm

H= 1 cm

L= 9 cm

V= w*h*l

V= 2cm * 1 cm * 9cm

V= 18 cm^3

Find the surface area with the formula A= 2(w*l + h*l + h* w)

W= width

H = height

L = length

W= 2cm

H= 1 cm

L= 9 cm

A= 2(w*l + h*l + h* w)

A= 2(2cm*9cm + 1cm*9cm + 1cm* 2cm)

A= 2(29cm)

A= 58cm^2

0.99813 probability of the company earning x(price of the insurance).

What premium would an insurance company charge to break even on a one-year $1 million term life insurance policy?

Break even means that the earnings are 0, so:

[tex]0.99813x - 0.00187(1000000) = 0[/tex]

[tex]0.99813x = 0.00187(1000000)[/tex]

You have been doing research for your statistics class on the prevalence of severe binge drinking among teens. You have decided to use 2011 Monitoring the Future (MTF) data that have a scale (from 0 to 14) measuring the number of times teens drank 10 or more alcoholic beverages in a single sitting in the past 2 weeks.
a. According to 2011 MTF data, the average severe binge drinking score, for this sample of 914 teens, is 1.27, with a standard deviation of 0.80. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the true averse severe binge drinking score.
b. On of your classmates, who claims to be good at statistics, complains about your confidence interval calculation. She or he asserts that the severe binge drinking scores are not normally distributed, which in turn makes the confidence interval calculation meaningless. Assume that she or he is correct about the distribution of severe binge drinking scores. Does that imply that the calculation of a confidence interval is not appropriate? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

(1.218 ; 1.322)

the confidence interval is appropriate

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval :

Mean ± margin of error

Sample mean = 1.27

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.80

Sample size, n = 914

Since we are using tbe sample standard deviation, we use the T table ;

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/√n

Tcritical at 95% ; df = 914 - 1 = 913

Tcritical(0.05, 913) = 1.96

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.80/√914 = 0.05186

Mean ± margin of error

1.27 ± 0.05186

Lower boundary = 1.27 - 0.05186 = 1.218

Upper boundary = 1.27 + 0.05186 = 1.322

(1.218 ; 1.322)

According to the central limit theorem, sample means will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases. Hence, the confidence interval is valid, the sample size of 914 gave a critical value at 0.05 which is only marginally different from that will obtained using a normal distribution table. Hence, the confidence interval is appropriate

What is the amount after 4 years? How much interest is earned?

Answers

To find the simple interest we'll plug it into one of the two available formulas. I will use both formulas so you can determine which is easiest for you, for future problems.

                                     r = I/Pt         or     I = Prt

                                     (the / represents division)

Let's define and plug.

r = the rate (we'll be solving for r)

I = the total interest earned within the time frame ($2)

P= the principal amount ($100)

t = the total time the principal accrued interest. (6 months/ .5years)

**Because this is in a monthly basis, lets change it into a year to make it easier**

we'll just divide 6 months by 12 months.

6 ÷ 12 = 0.5 years

============================================================

Let's use the first formula first. r = I / Pt

r = 2 / 100 (0.5)

100 x 0.5 = 50

We're now left with:            r = 2 / 50

Divide what we have left.

2 ÷ 50 = 0.04

This is our simple interest but we have to convert it into a percentage. To convert the decimal to the percentage, we'll move the decimal two places to the right to  make 4.0.

Therefore, our simple interest would be 4%

==========================================================

let's set up the second formula:  I = Prt

2 = 100 (r) (0.5)

2 = 50 (r)

2 ÷ 50 = 0.04

0.04 in percentage = 4%

13) B --> x ≤ 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

12) Solving inequalities is just like solving normal equations where you and add, subtract, multiply and divide sides by the same value. Keep in mind dividing or multiplying by a negative flips the sign:

x - 10 < 6 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides to combine the x terms:

x - 10 < 6 - 5x

+5x          +5x

6x - 10 < 6

Add 10 to both sides to isolate the x term:

6x - 10 < 6

+10       +10

6x < 16

Now, divide by 6 on both sides:

x < 8/3, this is B

13) Simplify 2 - 4:

2-3(2x + 1) ≤ 6x(-2)

Distribute:

2 - 6x - 3 ≤ -12x

Add 12x to both sides and combine like terms:

6x - 1 ≤ 0

Add 1 to both sides:

6x ≤ 1

Divide by 6:

x ≤ 1/6, this is B

Let [tex]u = 2x^3[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:du=6x^2dx[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{1}{6}e^{2x^3} + k[/tex]
