We have a student who used the explicit formula a[n] = 5+3(n-1) for the sequence 3,8,13,18,23,...to find the 12th term.

The given sequence is -

Answer:

zero product property

Step-by-step explanation:

To conclude that x+2=0 or x+6=0 from the equation (x+2)(x+6)=0, one must use the zero product property.

The zero product property states that if the product of two factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be equal to zero. In this case, if (x+2)(x+6)=0, it means that the product of (x+2) and (x+6) is zero. Therefore, we can conclude that either (x+2) = 0 or (x+6) = 0, based on the zero product property.

If Each card corresponds to a sample point with a 1/52 probability then the  sample points in the event an ace is selected is S = {ace of clubs, ace of diamonds, ace of hearts, ace of spades}

In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, there are four aces.

Each ace corresponds to a different suit: clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades.

So, when we talk about the event of selecting an ace, we are referring to the act of choosing one of these four specific cards from the deck.

The sample points in the event "an ace is selected" are the individual cards that match this criteria.

Therefore, the sample points in this event are:

S = {ace of clubs, ace of diamonds, ace of hearts, ace of spades}

These four cards are the possible outcomes when we randomly select a single card from the deck, focusing only on the event of selecting an ace.

About 88.49% of cellphone plans have charges that are less than $83.60.

To determine the percentage of plans that have charges less than $83.60, we need to find the z-score (z) using the given mean and standard deviation, and then look up the corresponding area under the normal distribution curve.

z = (x – μ) / σ

where x = 83.60, mean, μ =  62 and standard deviation, σ = 18

Thus, the z-score of $83.60 is:

z = (83.60 - 62) / 18 = 1.2

Using a standard normal distribution table, we can find that the area to the left of z = 1.20 is 0.8849 or 88.49% (check image attached).

Therefore, about 88.49% of cellphone plans have charges that are less than $83.60.

The length of arc length s is 1152π² or 11358.26.

We have,

The arc length of a circle can be calculated using the formula:

Arc Length = 2πrθ/360

Where:

π is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.

r is the radius of the circle.

θ is the central angle subtended by the arc, measured in degrees.

The arc length of a circle can be written as:

s = angles/360 x 2πr _______(1)

Now,

r = 4 cm

Angle = (2/5)π

Now,

Substitute in (1).
s = angles/360 x 2πr

s = (2/5)π/360 x 2π x 4

s = 2π x 72 x 2π x 4

s = 4π² x 288

s = 1152π²

or

s = 11358.26

Thus,

The length of arc length s is 1152π² or 11358.26.

Answer:

width = 6

length = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(length + width) or P = 2(l + w)

2(l + w) = 50

l + w = 25

l = 25 - w

Area = length x width or A = lw

lw = 114

Substitute l = 25 - w into the lw = 114

(25 - w)w = 114

25w - w^2 = 114

-w^2 + 25w - 114 = 0

=> w^2 - 25w + 114 = 0

we have x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

w = [-(-25) ± √((-25)^2 - 4(1)(114)))] / 2(1)

w = [25 ± √(625 - 456)] / 2

w = [25 ± √(169)]/2

w = [25 ± 13]/2

w = [25 + 13]/2 = 38/2 = 14

or

w = [25 - 13]/2 = 12/2 = 6

if width = 14, length = 25 - 14 = 11

then area = 14 x 11 = 154, this is incorrect answer

if width = 6, length = 25 - 6 = 19

then area = 6 x 19 = 114, this is correct answer

The maximum volume of the box is 864 cubic inches.

Let side length of the square cut from each corner is x inches.

After cutting the squares from each corner, the remaining dimensions of the sheet metal will be:

Length: 24 - 2x inches

Width: 24 - 2x inches

Height: x inches

So, the volume of the box

V = (24 - 2x) (24 - 2x)  x

V = x(24 - 2x)²

To find the maximum volume, we can take the derivative of V with respect to x, set it to zero, and solve for x:

dV/dx = (24 - 2x)² - 2x(24 - 2x) = 0

4x² - 96x + 576 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation,

x = 6 and x = 12.

We can substitute x = 6 into the volume equation to find the maximum volume:

V = 6(24 - 2(6))²

V = 6(12)²

V = 6 x 144

V = 864 cubic inches

Therefore, the maximum volume of the box is 864 cubic inches.

Answer:

45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 angles of a quadrilateral will add to 360.

We know 1 of them (angle B) is 90 degrees.

We can set up an equation to solve the others.

2x+3x+x+90 = 360

Now solve for x.

Start by combining the x terms together.

6x+90 = 360

6x = 360-90

6x = 270

(6x/6) = 270/6

x = 45 degrees

Check back to see if that makes sense and if the equation equals 360 when x is 45:

2x+3x+x+90 = 360

2(45)+3(45)+45+90=360.

Lin's family has completed approximately 86.15% of the total Distance to her grandmother's house.

The percentage of the distance Lin's family has completed, the ratio of the distance they have traveled to the total distance.

The distance traveled is 325 miles, and the total distance to Lin's grandmother's house is 377 miles.

To calculate the percentage, we can use the following formula:

Percentage = (Distance Traveled / Total Distance) * 100

Plugging in the values, we have:

Percentage = (325 / 377) * 100

          = 0.8615 * 100

          = 86.15

Therefore, Lin's family has completed approximately 86.15% of the total distance to her grandmother's house.

Answer:The correct answer is C. 3 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the total amount of liquid in the pot, we need to add the volume of the broth and the volume of the water.

The broth has a volume of 500 milliliters, and the water has a volume of 1,500 milliliters. Adding these together, we get:

500 mL + 1,500 mL = 2,000 mL

Since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, we can convert the volume to liters:

2,000 mL ÷ 1,000 = 2 liters

Therefore, the total amount of liquid in the pot is 2 liters.

The expected value for this game is -$0.75, indicating that, on average, players would expect to lose $0.75 per game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected Value = (Probability of Winning * Payout for Win) - Cost of Playing

In this case:

Probability of Winning = 0.05

Payout for Win = $5

Cost of Playing = $1

Expected Value = (0.05 * $5) - $1

Expected Value = $0.25 - $1

Expected Value = -$0.75

The values of x for the tangent segments to the circles are: (25). x = 2 and (26). x = 4

A theorem of tangents to a circle states that if from one exterior point, two tangents are drawn to a circle then they have equal tangent segments.

(25). 2x - 1 = x + 1 {equal tangent segments}

2x - x = 1 + 1 {collect like terms}

x = 2

(26). 2x - 4 = x {equal tangent segments}

2x - x = 4 {collect like terms}

x = 4

We can solve for x by equating the two ratios:

a/b = 6/8 = 3/4

We can conclude that x is equal to 3/4.

To find the value of x in the given scenario, where triangles AABC and ADEF are similar, we can use the concept of corresponding sides in similar triangles.

From the given information, we know that the lengths of sides AB and DE are in proportion with each other, as the triangles are similar. Let's denote the length of AB as a and the length of DE as b. Similarly, let's denote the length of BC as c and the length of EF as d.

Since the corresponding sides are in proportion, we can set up the following equation:

AB/DE = BC/EF

Substituting the given values, we have:

a/b = 6/8

To find the value of x, we need to determine the ratio of the corresponding side lengths. Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we get:

a/6 = b/8

Cross-multiplying, we have:

8a = 6b

Now, we can solve for x by equating the two ratios:

a/b = 6/8 = 3/4

John William is entitled to purchase 15,000 shares before the offering is made to the public.

a. To calculate the percentage of the total vote John William will control, we need to find the proportion of shares he owns out of the total shares represented at the meeting.

John William owns 6,000 shares out of the 20,000 shares offered so far. Therefore, the proportion of shares he owns is 6,000/20,000, which simplifies to 3/10 or 0.3.

To convert this proportion to a percentage, we multiply by 100:

Percentage of the total vote = 0.3 * 100 = 30%

Thus, John William will control 30% of the total vote at the.         shareholder meeting.    

b. Preemptive rights allow existing shareholders to purchase new shares before they are offered to the public. To determine the number of shares John William is entitled to purchase, we need to calculate the proportion of his current ownership.

Objective Function:

The objective is to maximize the total profit. The profit from frozen yogurt can be calculated as 3.60Y, and the profit from ice cream can be calculated as 4.15I. Thus, the objective function is:

Maximize Profit: Z = 3.60Y + 4.15I
