Find the fifth term and the nth term of the geometric sequence whose initial term, a, and common ratio, r, are given.

a = 8; r = -5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a_n = 8(-5)^{n-1}[/tex]

The fifth term of the sequence is 5000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient between consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio. The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

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

a = 8; r = -5

Thus:

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

[tex]a_n = 8(-5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Fifth term:

This is [tex]a_5[/tex]. So

[tex]a_5 = 8(-5)^{5-1} = 5000[/tex]

The fifth term of the sequence is 5000.

Need help finding the end behavior !

Answers

Let's focus on f(x) = |x| for now.

Recall that the absolute value of any number is never negative.

Some examples: |-7| = 7 and |5| = 5

So as x gets bigger in the positive direction, so does y. That explains the notation [tex]x \to \infty, \ f(x) \to \infty[/tex]. Informally, we can say "the graph rises to the right".

Similarly, we have [tex]x \to -\infty, \ f(x) \to \infty[/tex] which means it "rises to the left". Both endpoints rise to positive infinity. The left side of the graph goes up forever because again the result of any absolute value function is never negative. So if we plug in say negative a million, then the result is positive a million. In a sense, the V shape absolute value function is almost like a parabola. Both have the exact same end behavior on both sides.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now let's move onto g(x) = 2x^2+4

The only thing that matters when determining the end behavior is the leading term. The leading term here is 2x^2

The even exponent means the endpoints either A) go up together or B) go down together. We go with case A because the leading coefficient is positive. Like I mentioned earlier, this parabola mimics the V shaped absolute value graph in terms of the end behaviors being the same.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly, let's focus on h(y) = 3y^4-2

I'm not sure why your teacher is using y when the others were using x. I'll just swap y for x to get h(x) = 3x^4-2

Like the g(x) function, the largest exponent is even, so the left and right end behaviors go in the same direction. The positive leading coefficient means we have the endpoints going upward toward positive infinity.

Disks of polycarbonate plastic from a supplier are analyzed for scratch and shock resistance. The results from 108 disks are summarized as follows: Shock Resistance Scratch Resistance High Low High 55 10 Low 13 30 Let A denote the event that a disk has high shock resistance, and let B denote the event that a disk has high scratch resistance. If a disk is selected at random, determine the following probabilities. P(A)=86/100P(B)=79/100P(A')=7/50P(A U B)=95/100P(A' U B)= ???

Answers

Answer:

i) 0.63

ii) 0.37

iii) 0.37

iv) 0.77

v) 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Total resistance value = 108

A = high shock resistance

B = high scratch resistance

when a disk is selected at random

i) P(A) = P ( high shock resistance )

          = ( 55 + 13 ) / 108

          = 68/108 =  17/27   = 0.63

ii) P( B ) = P ( high scratch resistance )

            = ( 10 + 30 ) / 108

            = 40 / 108 = 10/27  = 0.37

iii) P(A') = 1 - P(A)

            = 1 - 17/27 = 10/27  = 0.37

iv) P( A U B ) = P(A) + P(B) - P( A n B )

                    = 0.63 + 0.37 - 0.233

                    = 0.766 ≈ 0.77

v) P( A' U B ) = P(A') + P(B) - P(A n B )

                     = 0.37 + 0.37 - 0.233

                     = 0.507 ≈ 0.51

I need help with this problem

Answers

Answer:

x = 21, y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle above (7x - 13) is (2x + 4 ) ← alternate angle

(7x - 13) and (2x + 4) are adjacent angles and sum to 180° , then

7x - 13 + 2x + 4 = 180

9x - 9 = 180 ( add 9 to both sides )

9x = 189 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 21

Then

2x + 4 = 2(21) + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46

(2x + 4) and (3y + 14) are adjacent angles and sum to 180° , so

46 + 3y + 14 = 180

60 + 3y = 180 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

3y = 120 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 40

If the sum of the interior angle of a polygon is 2700 how many sides does the polygon have??

Answers

17 side how many sides does a polygon have if the sum of its angle measures is 2700. So there are 17 sides. Answer
Answer:  17 sides

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

Work Shown:

S = sum of all interior angles of a polygon

S = 180(n-2)

2700 = 180(n-2)

180(n-2) = 2700

n-2 = 2700/180

n-2 = 15

n = 15+2

n = 17

There are 17 sides to this polygon.

-------------------------

Extra info (optional section):

We call this a 17-gon. Simply start with "n-gon" and replace n with 17.

You could also call it a heptadecagon

hepta = 7

deca = 10

so heptadeca means 17. Personally, I prefer 17-gon as the better name since it's easier to remember.

Explanation:

There are only four possible outcomes here

A) we get all tails, ie getting 0 headsB) we get exactly one head (the rest tails)C) we get exactly 2 headsD) we get all three heads

Based on this so far, the answer is either the table in the bottom left corner or in the top right corner. It's not possible for X = 4 since we only flipped 3 coins.

The probability of case A happening is 1/8 since we have 1 scenario that's all tails (TTT) out of 8 items in the sample space. Similarly, the probability for case D is the same probability. We only have one HHH out of 8 total items.

The probabilities of cases B and C are the same. Both are 3/8. Note that for case B, we have HTT, THT, TTH which is three occurrences in which we get exactly 1 head. So that explains the 3/8.

10.01-11.75 38
11.76 36
13.51-15.25 25
15.26-17.00 27

Sample Variance: ___________
Sample Standard Deviation: _________

Answers

Answer:

(a) The sample variance is 16.51

(a) The sample standard deviation is 4.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\begin{array}{cc}{Class} & {Frequency} & 8.26 - 10.00 & 20 &10.01-11.75 & 38 &11.76 - 13.50& 36 & 13.51-15.25 &25&15.26-17.00 &27 &\ \end{array}[/tex]

Solving (a); The sample variance.

First, calculate the class midpoints.

This is the mean of the intervals.

i.e.

[tex]x_1 = \frac{8.26+10.00}{2} = \frac{18.26}{2} = 9.13[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \frac{10.01+11.75}{2} = \frac{21.76}{2} = 10.88[/tex]

[tex]x_3 = \frac{11.76+13.50}{2} = \frac{25.26}{2} = 12.63[/tex]

[tex]x_4 = \frac{13.51+15.25}{2} = \frac{28.76}{2} = 14.38[/tex]

[tex]x_5 = \frac{15.26+17.00}{2} = \frac{32.26}{2} = 16.13[/tex]

So, the table becomes:

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}{Class} & {Frequency} & {x} & 8.26 - 10.00 & 20&9.13 &10.01-11.75 & 38 &10.88&11.76 - 13.50& 36 &12.63& 13.51-15.25 &25&14.38&15.26-17.00 &27 &16.13\ \end{array}[/tex]

Next, calculate the mean

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{20*9.13 + 38 * 10.88+36*12.63+25*14.38+27*16.13}{20+38+36+25+27}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{1845.73}{146}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 12.64[/tex]

Next, the sample variance is:

[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f - 1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{20*(9.13-12.63)^2 + 38 * (10.88-12.63)^2 +...........+27 * (16.13 -12.63)^2}{20+38+36+25+27-1}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{2393.6875}{145}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2 = 16.51[/tex]

The sample standard deviation is:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{16.51}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 4.06[/tex]

f(5) = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is f(x) = 2x^2 + x(100 - 15x).

Evaluate this function at x = 5:  replace each instance of x with 5:

f(5) = 2(5)^2 + 5(100 - 15·5)

Order of operations rules require evaluating the expression enclosed in parentheses first.  We get:

f(5) = 2(5)^2 + 5(100 - 15·5)

      = 50       + (100 - 75), so that:

f(5) = 50 + 25 = 75

Answer:

The length of BC is 14 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]hope \: \: it \: \: helps} \beta \alpha \infty [/tex]

The length of B'C' is 0 units.

What is translation?

It is the movement of the shape in left, right, up, and down direction.

The translated shape will have the same shape and shape.

There is a positive value when translated to the right and up.

There is a negative value when translated to the left and down.

We have,

The length of AD = 5 units.

Since the rectangle translates down by 4 units,

The length of A'D' =5 units.

The width of the original rectangle is AB, which is 3 units.

Since the rectangle translates to the right by 2 units,

The width of the new rectangle = 3 units.

Now,

The length of B'C' is the same as the length of AD', which is 5 units.

Subtracting 5 units from 5 units gives us a length of 0 units.

Thus,

The length of B'C' is 0 units.

Given:

The graphs of the function f(x) and g(x).

To find:

The correct statement for the given graph.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that, the function f(x) passes through the points (0,4) and (2,0). So,

[tex]f(0)=4[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=0[/tex]

[tex]f(-2)\neq 0[/tex]

The graph of the function g(x) passes through the point (-2,0). So,

[tex]g(-2)=0[/tex]

Since [tex]f(2)=0[/tex] and [tex]g(-2)=0[/tex], therefore the correct option is C.

The graphs of the given functions, f(x), and g(x), bounces off the x-axis.

Correct response:

The true statement regarding the graphed function is the option;

[tex]\underline{f(2) = 0 \ and \ g(-2) = 0 }[/tex]

Method used to find the true statement

The properties of the graph of f(x) and g(x) are;

When x = 0, the value of f(x) is; f(0) = 4

Therefore;

f(0) = 4

When x = 2, the value of f(x), which is the point on the graph corresponding to a x-value of 2 is; [tex]\underline{f(2) = 0}[/tex]

When x = 0, g(x) value is g(0) = 4

When x = -2, g(x) is; g(-2) = 0

The correct option is therefore;
