Write A Rule For The Geometric Sequence With The Given Description

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. [tex] a_n = -3(5^{n - 1}) [/tex]

b. [tex]a_n = 72(3^{1 - n})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

[tex] a_1 = -3 [/tex]

[tex] a_2 = -3(5^1) [/tex]

[tex] a_3 = -3(5^2) [/tex]

Notice that in each term, the exponent of the 5 is 1 less than the term number.

The general term is

[tex] a_n = -3(5^{n - 1}) [/tex]

b.

[tex] a_1 = 72 [/tex]

[tex] a_2 = 72(\dfrac{1}{3})^1 [/tex]

[tex] a_3 = 72(\dfrac{1}{3})^2 [/tex]

Notice that in each term, the exponent of the 1/3 is 1 less than the term number.

The general term is

[tex] a_n = 72(\dfrac{1}{3})^{n - 1} [/tex]

[tex] a_n = 72(\dfrac{1}{3^{n - 1}}) [/tex]

[tex] a_n = 72(3^{1 - n}) [/tex]

Alex and Annie each have 3 boxes of crayons. each box has 10 crayons. how many crayons do Alex and Annie have in all?

Answers

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

they each have 3 boxes, so you can multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. if each box has 10 crayons, then multiply 6 by 10 to get 60.

The total number of crayons that Alex and Annie have in all will be 30 crayons.

An amusement park studied methods for decreasing the waiting time (minutes) for rides by loading and unloading riders more efficiently. Two alternative loading/unloading methods have been proposed. To account for potential differences due to the type of ride and the possible interaction between the method of loading and unloading and the type of ride, a factorial experiment was designed. Use the following data to test for any significant effect due to the loading and unloading method, the type of ride, and interaction. Use %B= 0.05. Factor A is method of loading and unloading; Factor B is the type of ride.

16. Each of a group of sealed opaque envelopes contains eight bills. One envelope contains eight $1 bills, one envelope contains eight $5 bills, and one envelope contains four $1 bills and four $5 bills. An envelope is selected at random, and a bill is taken from the envelope at random. If it is a $5 bill, what is the probability that the rest of the bills in the envelope are also $5 bills

Answers

Answer:

probability = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok probability is the possibility of something happening.

So let's check the chance of $5 appearing according to how it appeared before.

4 envelopes are opened and 8 bills are inside . So total bills are 32 bills

Out of 24 bills 12 are 1$ bill

12 are $ 5 bill.

So it's a fifty fifty chance.

So the probability is 1/2

Apply the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to expression M.

Part B:

Explain whether or not expressions M and N are equivalent for any value of x.

Label your answers to both parts of the problem in the response box.

Answers

Answer:

Part A:  8x + 24

Part B:  Expressions M and N are not equivalent for any value of x because if you do 8x + 24 = 8x + 10, the 8x will cancel out from both sides and you are left with 24 = 10, which is not true, and therefore has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Part A, to apply the Distributive Property, you multiple the 4 with both terms in the parentheses. So, you do 4(2x) + 4(6). This expression is equal to 8x + 24.

Consider the following proposed proof, which claims to show that every nonnegative integer power of every nonzero real number is 1.
Let r be any nonzero real number, and let P(n) be the equation r ^n = 1.
Show that P(0) is true : P(0) is true because r^0 = 1 by definition of zeroth power.
Show that for every integer k >= 0, if P(i) is true for each integer i from 0 through k, then P(k + 1) is also true:
Let k be any integer with k >= 0 and suppose that r^ i = 1 for each integer i from 0 through k. This is the inductive hypothesis. We must show that r^ k + 1 = 1. Now
r^ k + 1 = r^ k + k - (k - 1) because k + k - (k - 1) = k + 1
r ^k * r^ k / r^ k - 1 by the laws of exponents
1*1 / 1 by inductive hypothesis
=1
Thus r^ k + 1 = 1 [as was to be shown].
[Since we have proved the basis step and the inductive step of the strong mathematical induction, we conclude that the given statement is true.]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete proof:

[tex]r^{k + 1} = r^{k + k - (k - 1)}[/tex]  (because k + k - (k - 1) = k + 1)

[tex]= \frac{r^{k} * r^{k} }{r^{(k-1)} }[/tex] (By laws of exponent)

[tex]= \frac{r^{k} * r^{k} }{r^{k} * r^{-1} } }[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{r^{k} * r^{k} * r^{1} }{r^{k}} }[/tex] (Since the power of r is a negative integer i.e. -1 it will shift to the numerator)

[tex]= r^{k} * r^{1}[/tex]  (We get this equation after canceling out the similar terms in numerator and denominator in previous step)

Since the diagram is missing, I'll show you how you can determine the length of a prism.

Volume of prism = length × width × height = l×w×h

Find attached below the diagram used in solving the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The proportion of the company's orders come from first-time customers. [tex]p=0.45[/tex]

Sample size : n= 166

Now , the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.24 and 0.35 would be :-

[tex]P(0.24<p<0.35)=P\left({\dfrac{0.24-0.45}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.45(1-0.45)}{166}}}<\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}<\dfrac{0.35-0.45}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.45(1-0.45)}{166}}}}\right)\\\ \ \left[\because z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\right][/tex]

[tex]=P(-5.44<z<-2.58)=P(z<-2.58)-P(z<-5.44)\\\\=1-P(z<2.58)-(1-P(z<5.44))\\\\=P(z<5.44)-P(z<2.58)\\\\=1-0.99506\ [\text{By z-value table}]\\\\=0.00494[/tex]

K.Brew sells a wide variety of outdoor equipment and clothing. The company sells both through mail order and via the internet. Random samples of sales receipts were studied for mail-order sales and internet sales, with the total purchase being recorded for each sale. A random sample of 18 sales receipts for mail-order sales results in a mean sale amount of $74.90 with a standard deviation of $21.75. A random sample of 9 sales receipts for internet sales results in a mean sale amount of $87.30 with a standard deviation of $19.75. Using this data, find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean amount of mail-order purchases and the mean amount of internet purchases. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.

Step 1 of 3: Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Step 2 of 3: Find the margin of error to be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to six decimal places.

Step 3 of 3: Construct the 95% confidence interval. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. The point estimate is the difference between the the mean amount of mail-order purchases and the mean amount of internet purchases. It becomes

74.9 - 87.3 = - 12.4

Step 2. The formula for determining margin of error is expressed aa

Margin of error = z√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

Where

z = z score

s1 = sample standard deviation for data 1

s2 = sample standard deviation for data 2

n1 = number of samples in group 1

n2 = number of samples in group 2

For a 95% confidence interval, the z score is 1.96

From the information given,

s1 = 21.75

n1 = 18

s2 = 19.75

n2 = 9

z√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = 1.96√(21.75²/18 + 19.75²/9) = 1.96 × 8.343

= 16.35

Step 3. Confidence interval = (x1 - x2) ± z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)

95% Confidence interval = - 12.4 ± 16.35

Use the numbers in the box to answer the questions

Answers

Question:

1. How many full boxes of lemon bars can Shira fill?

2. How many delicious lemon bars will she be taking home?

Answer:

1. Number of filled box = 21

2. Number of take home = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of lemon bars = 170

Each bar contains 8 lemon bars

Required

(1) & (2)

To calculate the number of boxes Shira can fill, we simply divide the total number of bars by constituents of each bar .

i.e.

Number of filled box = 170/8

Number of filled box = 21.25

But here, we only need the quotient of the division because it represents the filled boxed.

So,

Number of filled box = 21

Calculating the number of take home.

We'll follow the same steps as (1) above but here, we only need the remainder of the division.

When 170 is divided by 8, the remainder is 2.

So, number of boxes she'll take home is 2.

See calculation below

Number of take home = 170 % 8

Number of take home = 2
