Two terms of an arithmetic sequence are a12=70 and a30=124. Write an explicit rule for the nth term.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Tn = 34-3n

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as;

Tn = [tex]a+(n-1)d[/tex]

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

If  two terms of an arithmetic sequence are a12=70 and a30=124 then;

T12 = a+(12-1)d = 70

T12 = a+11d = 70...(1)

T30 = a+(30-1)d = 124

T30 = a+29d = 124...(2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously to get a and d;

Taking the difference of both equation we have;

29d - 11d = 124-70

18d = 54

d = 54/18

d = 3

Substituting d=3 into equation 1 to get the value of 'a' we have;

a+11(3) = 70

a+33=70

a = 70-33

a = 37

To get the explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence, we will use the formula Tn = a+ (n-1)d where a = 37, d =3

Tn = 37+(n-1)3

Tn = 37+3n-3

Tn = 34-3n

This gives the required nth term

The admission fee at a carnival is $5 for children and $8 for adults on Friday, 1250 people attended the carnival and $7300 was collected. Write a system on equations to represent the situation. Then solve the system of equations by substitution. Explain what the solution means.

Answers

Answer:

-> a + c = 1250 ____________ (1)

-> 8a + 5c = 7300 __________(2)

There were 900 children and 350 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children at the carnival be c.

Let the number of adults at the carnival be a.

The admission fee at a carnival is $5 for children and $8 for adults on Friday.

1250 people attended the carnival and $7300 was collected. This means two things:

-> a + c = 1250 ____________ (1)

-> 8a + 5c = 7300 __________(2)

We now have a system of equations representing the problem.

To solve, make a subject of formula in (1):

a = 1250 - c _______(3)

Put (3) in (2):

8(1250 - c) + 5c = 7300

10000 - 8c + 5c = 7300

10000 - 7300 = 3c

3c = 2700

c = 2700 / 3 = 900

Put the value of c back in (3):

a = 1250 - 900 = 350

Therefore, there were 900 children and 350 adults at the carnival.

P represents the population in year 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth function is f(x) = a (1 + r)^t, where a is the initial

amount (at t = 0), (1 + r) is the factor of growth , r is the rate of growth

in decimal ant is the time of growth

the function C(t) = P(1 + r)^t represents the population of

centerville at year t, where P is the initial population and r is the

rate of increase

If your investment is increased 10% annually, then that means

each year, your total has multiplied itself by 110% (the growth factor

is 1 + 10/100 = 1.1)

(1 + r) is the factor grows each year

C(t) = P(1 + r)^t

C depends on P(starting population) , r(the increasing rate and

t(the time in year)

r is the rate of increase means the percentage of increasing , then

0 < r < 1

r is not less than 0

P is the initial amount when t = 0

Answer:

55  125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller angle = x

Let the larger angle = x + 70

They are supplementary so the total of the two angles, by definition must be 180 degrees. Note that you should understand that any number of angles can but supplementary as long as they all add up to 180 degrees.

x + x + 70 = 180

2x + 70 = 180

2x + 70 - 70 = 180 - 70

2x = 110

2x/2 = 110/2

x = 55

the smaller angle = 55 degrees

The larger angle = 55 + 70 = 125

Contains (3, 3); perpendicular to the line y = 2x - 1

Answers

Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a straight line can be written as;

y = mx + c ......1

Where;

m = slope

c = intercept

For two lines to be perpendicular their slope must be opposite reciprocal of each other.

m1 × m2 = -1 .....2

Given;

The equation Contains (3, 3); and perpendicular to the line y = 2x - 1

Slope of the given equation m1 = 2

Slope of the line m2; substituting m1 to equation 2.

2 × m2 = -1

m2 = -1/2

So,

y = (-1/2)x + c

To solve for c, let's substitute the given point on the line; (3,3).

3 = (-1/2)(3) + c

3 = -3/2 + c

c = 3 + 3/2

c = 9/2

Therefore, the equation of the line that has the given properties is;

y = (-1/2)x + 9/2

B. Dependent, 1/70
C. Independent, 41/3125
D. Dependent, 41/3125

Answers

Answer:

B. Dependent, 1/70

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the first pencil is yellow is 10/50.

There are now 49 pencils, so the probability that the second pencil is blue is 7/49.

There are now 48 pencils, so the probability that the third pencil is red is 24/48.

The total probability is (10/50) (7/49) (24/48) = 1/70.

Since the pencils aren't replaced after selection, each event changes the probability of the next, so the events are dependent.

Subtract 22 from each side

x <10

The choices that fit

0,8,5

Answer:

Therefore, our applicable set is: 0, 8, and 5. All of these numbers make the inequality true.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 22 < 32

This problem is fairly simple! All we need to do is substitute each number given for x and compute to find out if the equation will be true! First what we need to do is plug in each number given into our variable x. Our numbers are: 0, 10, 8, 71, 15, and 5

x = 0

0 + 22 < 32

22 < 32

Is 22 less than 32? It is! So it belongs to the solution set.

x = 10

10 + 22 < 32

32 < 32

32 is equal to 32, not less than 32. A number cannot be itself and less than itself, thus x = 10 does not belong to the solution set.

x = 8

8 + 22 < 32

30 < 32

Is 30 less than 32? Yes! Since the inequality is true (that's what these kinds of equations are called) it  belongs to the solution set.

x = 71

71 + 22 < 32

94 < 32

Is 94 less than 32? No. 71 does not belong to this solution set.

x = 15

15 + 22 < 32

37 < 32

37 is not less than 32. Therefore it doesn't belong to the solution set.

x = 5

5 + 22 < 32

27 < 32

Is 27 less than 32? Yes. Therefore, it belongs to the solution set.

Therefore, our applicable set is: 0, 8, and 5. All of these numbers make the inequality true.

A company surveyed 2400 men where 1248 of the men identified themselves as the primary grocery shopper in their household. ​a) Estimate the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper. Use a 98​% confidence interval. Check the conditions first. ​b) A grocery store owner believed that only 43​% of men are the primary grocery shopper for their​ family, and targets his advertising accordingly. He wishes to conduct a hypothesis test to see if the fraction is in fact higher than 43​%. What does your confidence interval​ indicate? Explain. ​c) What is the level of significance of this​ test? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a) With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

b) The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

c) [tex]\alpha =1-0.98=0.02[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If np' and n(1-p') are higher than 5, a confidence interval for the proportion is calculated as:

[tex]p'-z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }\leq p\leq p'+z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }[/tex]

Where p' is the proportion of the sample, n is the size of the sample, p is the proportion of the population and [tex]z_{\alpha/2}[/tex] is the z-value that let a probability of [tex]\alpha/2[/tex] on the right tail.

Then, a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper can be calculated replacing p' by 0.52, n by 2400, [tex]\alpha[/tex] by 0.02 and [tex]z_{\alpha/2}[/tex] by 2.33

Where p' and [tex]\alpha[/tex] are calculated as:

[tex]p' = \frac{1248}{2400}=0.52\\\alpha =1-0.98=0.02[/tex]

So, replacing the values we get:

[tex]0.52-2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\leq p\leq 0.52+2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\\0.52-0.0238\leq p\leq 0.52+0.0238\\0.4962\leq p\leq 0.5438[/tex]

With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

Finally, the level of significance is the probability to reject the null hypothesis given that the null hypothesis is true. It is also the complement of the level of confidence. So, if we create a 98% confidence interval, the level of confidence [tex]1-\alpha[/tex] is equal to 98%

It means the the level of significance [tex]\alpha[/tex] is:

[tex]\alpha =1-0.98=0.02[/tex]

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (- 5, - 6) and is parallel to the line 4x - 5y = 35

Answers

Answer:

4x - 5y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Any line parallel to 4x - 5y = 35 will have the same equation EXCEPT that the constant will be different.

Starting with 4x - 5y = 35, replace x with the given x-coordinate -5 and the given y-coordinate -6, and finally the given 35 with the constant C:

4(-5) - 5(-6) = C, or

-20 + 30 = C.  Thus, C = 10, and the equation of the new line is

4x - 5y = 10

The equation of line is 4x - 5y = 10

What is equation of line?

A straight line's general equation is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient. On the y-axis, this number c is referred to as the intercept. Key Point y = mx + c is the equation for a straight line with a gradient of m and an intercept of c on the y-axis.

Given the points (-5,-6)

and parallel to line 4x - 5y = 35...…..(1)

the equation of line is (y - y₁) = m( x - x₁)

for parallel line condition the value of m is equal to both equations

converting eq. 1 in the form of y = mx + c

4x - 5y = 35

we get y = 4/5x -7

here m = 4/5 and c = -7

substitute the value of m in  equation of line

where y₁ = -6; x₁ = -5

(y - (-6)) = 4/5(x - (-5))

y +6 = 4/5(x+5)

simplify above eq. we get

4x - 5y = 20

Hence the equation of  the line that passes through the point (- 5, - 6) is  4x - 5y = 20
