Find the nth term an of the geometric sequence described below, where r is the common ratio.
a4 = -8, r= -2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a_n=(-2)^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So a geometric sequence can be explicitly defined as: [tex]a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}[/tex]. IN this case we're given r, but we don't know what a_1 is. We can find this by lugging in 4 as n, and -8 as a_n, since they're given values

Plug known values in:

[tex]-8 = a_1(-2)^{4-1}[/tex]

Subtract the values in the exponent

[tex]-8 = a_1(-2)^3[/tex]

Simplify the exponent

[tex]-8 = a_1 (-8)[/tex]

Divide both sides by -8

[tex]1=a_1[/tex]

So the nth term can be defined as: [tex]a_n = 1(-2)^{n-1}[/tex], and since the 1 is redundant, the equation can simply be defined as: [tex]a_n=(-2)^{n-1}[/tex]

C-880in^3
D-264in^3

Answers

Answer:

  D.  264 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing edge dimension can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Then the volume can be found using the appropriate formula.

Edge dimension

The missing dimension and the two given for the top triangle will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. If the missing dimension is represented by 'a', then we have ...

  a² +8² = 10²

  a = √(100 -64) = 6 . . . . inches

Volume

The area of the top triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh . . . . where b and h are the base and height dimensions

  A = 1/2(6 in)(8 in) = 24 in²

The volume of the triangular prism is ...

  A = Bh . . . . . where B is the area of the triangular base, and h is the prism height

  A = (24 in²)(11 in) = 264 in³

The volume of the triangular prism shown is 264 in³.

The probability that a football game will go into overtime is 18%. What is the probability that two of three football games will go to into overtime

Answers

The probability that two of three football games will go to into overtime is 0.08

How to determine the probability that two of three football games will go to into overtime?

From the question, we have the following parameters about the probability

Sample size, n = 3

Proportion that goes to overtime, p = 18%

Number that goes into overtime, x = 2

The probability that two of three football games will go to into overtime is calculated using the following binomial probability

P(x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n -x)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

P(2) = 3C2 * (18%)^2 * (1 - 18%)^(3 -2)

Express 18% as decimal

P(2) = 3C2 * (0.18)^2 * (1 - 0.18)^(3 -2)

Evaluate the difference

P(2) = 3C2 * (0.18)^2 * (0.82)^1

Evaluate the combination expression

P(2) = 3 * (0.18)^2 * (0.82)^1

Evaluate the exponent

P(2) = 3 * 0.0324 * (0.82)

Evaluate the product

P(2) = 0.079704

Approximate

P(2) = 0.08

Hence, the probability that two of three football games will go to into overtime is 0.08

Answers

a. The probability that exactly one is defective is 0.2025

b. The probability that none will be defective is 0.0769

c. The probability rate that should be used is 2%

d. The modified production process is better.

The question has to do with binomial probability.

What is binomial probability?

Binomial probability is probability in which the event can only have two values or is binary.

Given the binomial probability formula,

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓpˣ(1 - p)ⁿ ⁻ ˣ

where

p = probability of defective = 5% = 0.05 and n = 50

a. Assuming that the 5% rate of defects has not changed, find the probability that among 50 pens, exactly one is defective.

For the probability that exactly one is defective, x = 1

So, P(x = 1) = ⁵⁰C₁p¹(1 - p)⁵⁰ ⁻ ¹

= ⁵⁰C₁p(1 - p)⁴⁹

= ⁵⁰C₁(0.05)(1 - 0.05)⁴⁹

= ⁵⁰C₁(0.05)(0.95)⁴⁹

= 50(0.05)(0.95)⁴⁹

= 50(0.05)(0.081)

= 0.2025

So, the probability that exactly one is defective is 0.2025

b. Assuming that the 5% rate of defects has not changed, find the probability that among 50 pens, none are defective.

For the probability that exactly one is defective, x = 0

So, P(x = 0) = ⁵⁰C₀p⁰(1 - p)⁵⁰ ⁻ ⁰

= ⁵⁰C₀(1 - p)⁵⁰

= ⁵⁰C₀(1 - 0.05)⁵⁰

= ⁵⁰C₀(0.95)⁵⁰

= 1 × (0.95)⁵⁰

= 0.0769

So, the probability that none will be defective is 0.0769

c. What probability value should be used for determining whether the modified process results in a defect rate that is less than 5%?

Since the modified result results in a defective rate of one out of 50 pens.

The probability rate that should be used is p = number of defective pens/total number of pens = 1/50

= 1/50 × 100 %

= 2%

The probability rate that should be used is 2%

d. What do you conclude about the effectiveness of the modified production?

Since the defective rate of the modified production process is 2% which is less than that of the previous production process which is 5%, the modified production process is better.

So, the modified production process is better.

The length of the diagonal and the shorter base are 17. 24 feet and 18. 7 feet long respectively.

How to determine the length

The cosine rule is given as;

[tex]c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos \alpha }[/tex]

c = length of the diagonal

a = base length = 22 feet

b = 7 feet

[tex]c = \sqrt{7^2 + 22^2 - 2 * 7 * 22 cos 40}[/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{533 - 308 * 0. 7660}[/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{533 - 235. 93}[/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{297. 072}[/tex]

[tex]c = 17. 24[/tex] feet

Using sine rule

[tex]\frac{a}{sin A } = \frac{c}{sin C}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{a}{sin 70} = \frac{17. 24}{sin 40}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]a[/tex] × [tex]sin 60[/tex] = [tex]c[/tex] × [tex]sin 70[/tex]

[tex]a[/tex] × [tex]0. 8660[/tex] = [tex]17. 24[/tex] × [tex]0. 9397[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{16. 20}{0. 8660}[/tex]

a = 18. 7 feet long

2) Let t be the number of seconds that have elapsed since you began moving. It takes you 5 seconds to reach the top of the wheel (38 feet above the ground) and 20 seconds to make a complete revolution. The diameter of the wheel is 30 feet.


Work with your classmates to answer the following questions:


What is the lowest you go as the ferris wheel turns?

Why is this number always greater than zero?

Write the equation of a sinusoid that describes this motion.


Predict your height above the ground when t = 3, t = 8, t = 15, and t = 19.

Answers

The examples of sinusoids include sound and water waves.

How to illustrate the information?

Simple harmonic motion such as that of a pendulum or a weight attached to a spring results in a sinusoidal relationship between position and time.

The angle will be formed after t time of the starting of the motion.

θ = wt = 2πt/20 = πt/10

Radius of the wheel = 30/2 = 15 feet

Distance from the ground = (15 - 15cosθ) + 8 = (15 - 15cosπt/10) + 8

= 23 - 15cos(πt/10)

As we know the minimum value of the cos is -1

-1 ≤ cos(πt/10) ≤ 1

8 ≤ 23 - 15cos(πt/10) ≤ 38

The lowest distance = 8 feet

It should be always greater than zero as the lowest point of what should be above the ground.

d = 23 - 15cos(πt/10)

Plug t = 3 in the above equation:

d(3) = 14.18 feet

For t = 8

d(8) = 35.13 feet

For t = 15

d(15) = 23 feet

For t = 19

d(19) = 8.73 feet

Thus, the lowest distance is 8 feet, and the lowest point of what should be above the ground and the equation is d = 23 - 15cos(πt/10).

A quadratic equation is a polynomial of degree 2, in a single variable x.

The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0.

The quadratic formula is used to find the solution(s)/root(s) of this equation.

The quadratic formula is:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

In this formula, [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex] is called the discriminant (D).

The solution(s)/root(s) of the equation, depends on this discriminant value as follows:

When D > 0, the roots of the equation are real and distinct.When D = 0, the roots of the equation are real and equal.When D < 0, then no real roots exist.

In the question, we are given that the simplest form of Quincy's equation in the radical form was,

[tex]x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{-19} }{2}[/tex].

Comparing this to the quadratic formula,

Answer:

[tex]a)\ x_1=-9,\ x_2=9\\\\b)\ x_1=1,\ x_2=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations:

[tex]a)\ 2x^2 - 162 = 0\\\\b) -\dfrac{1}{2}(x-3)^2=-2[/tex]

A) 2x² - 162 = 0

Step 1: Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]\\\implies \dfrac{2x^2 - 162}{2} = \dfrac{0}{2}\\\\\implies x^2-81=0\\\\\implies x^2=81[/tex]

Step 2: Take the square root of both sides (using both the positive and negative roots).

[tex]\\\implies \sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{81}\\\\\implies x=\pm\ 9[/tex]

Step 3: Separate into two cases.

[tex]\implies x_1 = -9,\ x_2 =-9[/tex]

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

B) -1/2(x - 3)² = -2

Step 1: Multiply both sides by -2.

[tex]\\\implies -2\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-3)^2\right)=-2(-2)\\\\\implies (x-3)^2=4[/tex]

Step 2: Take the square root of both sides (using both the positive and negative roots).

[tex]\\\implies\sqrt{(x-3)^2}=\sqrt{4}\\\\\implies x-3=\pm\ 2[/tex]

Step 3: Separate into two cases and solve each one.[tex]1)\ x-3=-2\implies x=-2+3\implies \boxed{x=1}\\\\2)\ x-3=2\implies x=2+3\implies \boxed{x=5}[/tex]

A psychologist treats 16 patients and records the number of sessions required to complete a behavioral therapy treatment for each patient. she computes ss = 800. assuming the 16 patients constitute all patients under her care (so the population of her patients), what is the standard deviation for these data?

Answers

Hence, the standard deviation for these data is 7.1 sessions

In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the volatility or variance of a set of values. [1] A low standard deviation indicates that the values ​​tend to be close to the mean of the set (also known as the mean), and a high standard deviation indicates that the values ​​are more widely distributed. indicate.

Standard deviation can be abbreviated as SD, and in mathematical texts and equations, it is most commonly represented by the Greek lower σ (sigma) for population standard deviation or the Latin letter s for sample standard deviation. It is a target.

The standard deviation of a random variable, sample, population, dataset, or probability distribution is the square root of its variance. It's algebraically simple, but it's actually less robust than mean absolute deviation. A useful property of standard deviation is that, unlike variance, it is expressed in the same units as the data.

Expression

\ sigma = {\ sqrt {\ frac {\ sum (x_ {i}-{\ mu}) ^ {2}} {N}}}

\ sigma = Population standard deviation

N = size mother Population

The points (1, 5) and (0, –2) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Answers

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y = 7x - 2

How to find the equation of a line?

The equation of the line can be solved with the following equation.

y = mx + b

where

m = slopeb = y-intercept

Therefore,

m = -2  - 5 / 0 - 1 = -7 / -1

m = 7

Hence, using (1, 5)

y = 7x + b

5 = 7(1) + b

5 - 7 = b

b = -2

Therefore,

y = 7x - 2

Hence, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is y = 7x - 2
