Answers

Answer 1

The first five terms of the given sequence are a₁ = 50, a₂ = 25, a₃ = 12.5, a₄ = 6.25 and a₅ = 3.125.

What is a geometric sequence?

In a geometric sequence the ratio of any two consecutive terms are equal. This ratio is known as the common ratio of the sequence.

Given that,

a₁ = 50 and aₙ = aₙ₋₁ ÷ 2

The first five terms are a₁, a₂, a₃, a₄  and a₅.

All the terms can be written using  aₙ = aₙ₋₁ ÷ 2 as follows,

a₂ = a₁ ÷ 2

⇒ a₂ = 50 ÷ 2

⇒ a₂ = 25

a₃ = a₂ ÷ 2

⇒ a₃ = 25 ÷ 2

⇒ a₃ = 12.5

a₄ = a₃ ÷ 2

⇒ a₄ = 12.5 ÷ 2

⇒ a₄ = 6.25

a₅ = a₄ ÷ 2

⇒ a₅ = 6.25 ÷ 2

⇒ a₅ = 3.125

Hence, the first five terms are 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 3.125 respectively.

The measure of angle1 in the given rectangular figure is 64° .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

the one of the angle is 116° .

From the figure below ,

we can see that

the dashed line is a transversal to AB and CD ,

the angles on the line AB form a linear pair ,

So , angle2 + 116° = 180°

angle2 = 180° - 116°

angle2 = 64°

Since the side panel of the podium is cut from rectangular piece

the figure is representing two parallel lines , cut by the transversal .

By the property of transversal that alternate interior angles are equal in measure ,

angle 1 = angle 2

mr. bray prepares a list of 434343 us presidents, 888 of whom died in office. then 181818 of his students each select a president at random (there can be repeats) for their creative writing assignments. what is the probability that at least one of the students select a president who died in office? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

There is a 0.97541 or 97.541% probability that at least one student will choose a president who passed away in office.

Take into account the details offered.

43 US presidents are listed by Mr. Bray, 8 of them passed away while in office.

Consequently, p= 8/43.

If 8 of the 43 presidents died while in office, then 43-8=35 presidents survived.

q= 35/43

Let X represent how many presidents have passed away while in office.

The probaility that at least one student will choose a president who passed away in office is:

P(X[tex]\geq[/tex]1 ) = 1 -P(X=0)

P(X[tex]\geq[/tex]1 ) = 1 -¹⁸c₀(8/43)⁰(35/43)¹⁸

By using  Combinations Formula,

By solving we get,

P(X[tex]\geq[/tex]1 ) = 0.97541

As a result, there is a 0.97541 or 97.541% chance that at least one student will choose a president who passed away in office.

Answers

The probability for Jacie or Robyn would consume cheese on a random day is 0.15.

What is defined as the independent events?Two occurrences are considered independent if indeed the occurrence of one does not alter the likelihood of the occurrence of the other. The mathematical expression of event independence A and B is the chance of both A and B occurring being equal to the sum of both the probabilities of both B and A (i.e., P) (A and B).

The likelihood of Jacie eating cheese on any particular day is 0.6.

The likelihood of Robyn eating cheese on any particular day is 0.25.

Both events are independent.

As a result, the probability for Jacie or Robyn would consume cheese on a random day is;

P(Jacie or Robyn)  = P(Jacie). P(Robyn)

P(Jacie or Robyn)  = 0.6 x 0.25

How to determine the cost of each book?

From the question, we have the following statements:

Number of books = 2One book = $4 more than three times the other.Both books = 72$

Represent the books with the variables x and y

So, we have the following equations

x = 4 + 3y

x + y = 72

To start with;

We can substitute 4 + 3y for x in the equation x + y = 72

So, we have the following representation

4 + 3y + y = 72

Evaluate the like terms

4 + 4y = 72

Collect the like terms in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

4y = 72 - 4

Evaluate the like terms

4y = 68

Divide both sides by 4

So, we have

y = 17

Recall that x = 4 + 3y

Substitute 17 for y in the equation x = 4 + 3y

x = 4 + 3 * 17

Rich is attending a 4-year college. As a freshman, he was approved for a 10-year, federal unsubsidized student loan in the amount of $7,900 at 4.29%. He knows he
has the option of beginning repayment of the loan in 4.5 years. He also knows that during this non-payment time, interest will accrue at 4.29%.
If Rich decides to make no payments during the 4.5 years, the interest will be capitalized at the end of that period.

a. What will the new principal be when he begins making loan payments?

b. How much interest will he pay over the life of the loan?

Answers

a) The new principal (principal + capitalized interest) when Rich begins making loan payments will be $9,425.10.

b) The total interest that Rich will pay over the life of the loan is $4,914.20.

How is interest on student loans determined?

The interest on student loans is based on simple interest.

The only interest capitalized is the interest during the non-payment period if the student does not pay the interest.

Some students elect to pay the interest during the non-payment period to reduce the capitalized interest and principal during the payment period.

Capitalization refers to the addition of interest to the principal amount.

Period of student loan = 10 years

The amount of the federal unsubsidized student loan = $7,900

Interest rate = 4.29%

Capitalized interest during the non-payment time = $1,525.10 ($7,900 x 4.29% x 4.5)

New principal when Rich begins making loan payments = $9,425.10 ($7,900 + $1,525.10)

Total interest for loan = $4,914.20 ($7,900 x 4.29% x 14.5)

Justify your answer. (5 points)​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

so, after clarification from your side, we know

f(x) = 12500 × (0.82)^x

so, with every new year we are multiplying the value of the previous year by 0.82.

in other words

f(n) = f(n-1) × 0.82

with f(0) = 12500

because anything to the power of 0 equals 1.

A

so, the price is decreasing every year, because any multiplication with a positive value smaller than 1 decreases the original number.

multiplying an amount by a decimal number like 0.82 creates exactly 82% of the original amount because 1 represents 100%.

that means the value decreases every year by 100 - 82 = 18% compared to the value of the previous year.

B

1 5600

2 3136

3 1756.16

4 983.45

remember, Part A showed always an 18% decrease over the previous year.

from 5600 to 3136, this was a change of

100% = 5600

1% = 100%/100 = 5600/100 = $56

the price difference was 5600 - 3136 = 2464

how many % was that decrease ?

as many as how often 1% fits into 2464 :

2464 / 56 = 44%

that was much more than Part A.

from 3136 to 1756.16, this was a change of

100% = 3136

1% = $31.36

the price difference was 3136 - 1756.16 = $1,379.84

how many %

1,379.84 / 31.36 = 44%

again.

from 1756.16 to 983.45, this was a change of

100% = 1756.16

1% = $17.5616

the price difference was 1756.16 - 983.45 = 772.71

hire many %

772.71 / 17.5616 = 43.99997722...%

and again 44% (just a little rounding uncertainty).

so, product B recorded a much greater percentage change in value over the previous year than product A :

Warren has 40 coins (all nickels, dimes, and quarters) worth $4.05. He has 7 more nickels than dimes. How many quarters does Warren have?

Please provide a detailed explanation and steps on how to do

Answers

If  he has 7 more nickels than dimes. The number of quarters that Warren have is 7.

How to determine the number of quarters?

Let coins be:

n + d + q = 40

Where;

n = nickels

d =dimes

q = quarters

Hence,

.05n + .10d + .25q = 4.05

n = d + 7

Substitute (d+7) for n

(d+7) + d + q = 40

2d + q = 40 - 7

2d + q = 33

q = (33-2d)

So,

.05(d+7) + .10d + .25q = 4.05

.05d + .35 + .10d + .25q = 4.05

15d + .25q = 4.05 - .35

.15d + .25d = 3.70

Substitute (33-2d) for q

.15d + .25(33-2d) = 3.70

.15d + 8.25 - .5d = 3.70

.15d -.5d = 3.70 - 8.25

-.35d = -4.55

Divide both side by -/35d

d = -4.55 / -.35

d = 13 dimes

Nickels

n = d+7 where d is 13

n = 13 + 7

n = 20 nickels

Quarters

q = (33-2d)

q = 33 - 2(13)

q = 33 - 26

q = 7 quarters

Therefore 7 is the quarters.

It is given that, You win 50 tickets, 12 tickets, and 16 tickets at an arcade. You are able to buy 3 of the same item with 3 tickets left over.

Number of tickets won,

= 50 + 12 + 16

= 78 tickets

Number of items bought = 3 items

Let the cost of 1 item be 'x' tickets.

The cost of 3 items = 3x

By the amount, we can buy 78 tickets as,

3x = 78

x = 26

Thus, if you are able to buy 3 of the same item with 3 tickets left over. As a result, 1 item cost 26 tickets.

Karla drank a 15-fluid-ounce bottle of water before tennis practice. After practice, she drank 4 cups of water. What is the total amount of water Karla drank?
a 7 c and 9 fl oz
b 7 c and 7 fl oz
c 5 c and 9 fl oz
d 5 c and 7 fl oz

Answers

The total amount of water Karla drank before and after the tennis practice is 5 cups and 9 fluid ounces.

The correct answer option is option C.

What is the total amount of water Karla drank?

Volume of water Karla drank before tennis practice = 15-fluid-ounce

Volume of water Karla drank after tennis practice = 4 cups

Convert fluid ounces to cups:

1 fluid ounces = 0.125 cups

15 fluid ounces = 1.875 cups

Total volume of water Kayla drank = Volume of water Karla drank before tennis practice + Volume of water Karla drank after tennis practice

= 1.875 cups + 4 cups

= 5.875 cups

Approximately,

5 cups and 9 fluid ounces

Therefore, the total volume of water Karla drank is approximately 5 cups and 9 fluid ounce

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point
(1,-5) with slope-1.

Answers

The equation of a line that passes through the point (1,-5) with slope -1 is y = -x - 4.

Given:

(1,-5) with slope m = -1

The standard slope intercept form is y = mx + c.

substitute m = -1 and (1,-5)

-5 = -1(1) + c

-5 = -1 + c

c = -4.

y = mx + c

y = -1(x) + (-4)

y = -x - 4.

Therefore the equation of a line that passes through the point (1,-5) with slope -1 is y = -x - 4.

Therefore equation of a line that passes through the point (1,-5) with slope -1 is y = -x - 4.

The length of KL¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 8x−17 units. The length of ST¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is −2x+18 units. For what value of x are the segments congruent?

NO LINKS OR FILE

Answers

Answer:

x = 3.5units

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent means the same length, so set the given lengths equal to each other.

8x - 17 = -2x + 18

Add 2x to both sides.

10x -17 = 18

Add 17 to both sides.

10x = 35

Divide by 10

x = 3.5

When x is 3.5, KL and ST are the same length. Check.

8(3.5) - 17 = 11

and

-2(3.5) + 18 = 11
