A G.P is such that the 3rd term minus a first term is 48. The 4th term minus 2nd term 144. Find: (i) Common ratio ii) The first term (ii) 6th term of the sequence​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r is the common ratio.

Third term minus first term is 48.

a₃ - a₁ = 48

a₃ = a₁r²

a₁r² - a₁ = 48

a₁(r²-1) = 48

r²-1 = 48/a₁

Fourth term minus second term is 144.

a₄ - a₂ = 144

a₂ = a₁r

a₄ = a₁r³

a₁r³ - a₁r = 144

a₁r(r²-1) = 144

r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)

48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)

r = 3

:::::

r²-1 = 48/a₁

a₁ = 6

:::::

a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458

Answer 2

(i) The common ratio for the given condition is 3.

ii) The first term of the sequence is 6.

iii) The 6th term of the sequence​ is 1458.

What is a sequence?

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

Divergent sequences are those in which the terms never stabilize; instead, they constantly increase or decrease as n approaches infinity,

It is given that a  is a geometric progression such that the 3rd term minus a first term is 48. The 4th term minus the 2nd term 144.

Each number following the first in a geometric sequence is multiplied by a particular number, known as the common ratio.

As the third term minus the first term is 48.

a₃ - a₁ = 48

a₃ = a₁r²

a₁r² - a₁ = 48

a₁(r²-1) = 48

r²-1 = 48/a₁

The fourth term minus the second term is 144.

a₄ - a₂ = 144

a₂ = a₁r

a₄ = a₁r³

a₁r³ - a₁r = 144

a₁r(r²-1) = 144

r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)

48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)

r = 3

r²-1 = 48/a₁

a₁ = 6

a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458

Thus the common ratio for the given condition is 3, the first term of the sequence is 6 and the 6th term of the sequence​ is 1458.

The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is?
PLEASE ANSWER A, B, C

Answers

Answer:

a. negative

b. negative

c. positive

Step-by-step explanation:

a. When a negative and positive integer are being multiplied the product will always be negative. For example, -3*2=-6.

b. Before answering this question it is helpful to realize that it is the exact same as part a. This is because the commutative property states that order does not matter in multiplication. So the answer is also negative, 2*-3=-6.

c. If two negative integers are multiplied then the product will be positive. Whenever two integers of the same sign are multiplied the product is positive. The opposite is true when they have different signs; the product will always be negative. An example of two negative integers would be -3*-2=6.

So that's why the answer is choice C

The requirement that x is nonzero isn't technically necessary. The original expression simplifies to choice C even when x = 0 is the case. Also, we don't have issues such as division by zero errors that could arise. It's a bit curious why your teacher put in that condition.

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

7x²×sqrt(2x⁴)×6×sqrt(2x¹²)

we see right away that as constant multiplication factor we have 7×6 = 42.

and then we get from each sqrt expression a sqrt(2), which leads to sqrt²(2) = 2 and therefore 42×2=84.

the only answer option with 84 is C.

now, to be completely sure, and to get some practice, let's look at the other parts :

sqrt(2x⁴) = sqrt(2)×sqrt(x⁴) = sqrt(2)×x²

sqrt(2x¹²) = sqrt(2)×sqrt(x¹²) = sqrt(2)×x⁶

=>

7x²×sqrt(2)×x²×6×sqrt(2)×x⁶ =7×6×2×x²×x²×x⁶ = 84x¹⁰

perfect. C is confirmed.

Draw a parabola concave down with vertex at [tex](\frac{11}{16},\frac{169}{16})[/tex]. Since the leading coefficient of the equation is -16, the parabola should appear thinner than its parent function [tex]y=x^2[/tex]. Ensure that the parabola passes through the points [tex](\(-\frac{1}{8},0)[/tex] and [tex](\frac{3}{2},0)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The x-intercepts of a function occur at [tex]y=0[/tex]. Therefore, let [tex]y=0[/tex] and solve for all values of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]0=-16x^2+22x+3[/tex]

The quadratic formula states that the real and nonreal solutions to a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is equal to [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex].

In [tex]-16x^2+22x+3[/tex], assign:

[tex]a\implies -16[/tex] [tex]b\implies 22[/tex] [tex]c\implies 3[/tex]

Therefore, the solutions to this quadratic are:

[tex]x=\frac{-22\pm\sqrt{22^2-4(-16)(3)}}{2(-16)},\\x=\frac{-22\pm 26}{-32},\\\begin{cases}x=\frac{-22+26}{-32}=\frac{4}{-32}=\boxed{-\frac{1}{8}},\\x=\frac{-22-26}{-32}=\frac{-48}{-32}=\boxed{\frac{3}{2}}\end{cases}[/tex]

The x-intercepts are then [tex]\boxed{(-\frac{1}{8},0)}[/tex] and [tex]\boxed{(\frac{3}{2},0)}[/tex].

Part B:

The a-term is negative and therefore the parabola is concave down. Thus, the vertex will be the maximum of the graph. The x-coordinate of the vertex of a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is equal to [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]. Using the same variables we assigned earlier, we get:

[tex]x=\frac{-22}{2(-16)}=\frac{-22}{-32}=\frac{11}{16}[/tex]

Substitute this into the equation of the parabola to get the y-value:

[tex]f(11/16)=-16(11/16)^2+22(11/16)+3,\\f(11/16)=\frac{169}{16}[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is located at [tex]\boxed{(\frac{11}{16},\frac{169}{16})}[/tex]

dC= ___________
ΔC= __________

Answers

Answer:

dC=3.5

DC is between 3.475 and 3.525

Step-by-step explanation:

So let dx=1 since the change there is a change in 1 unit.

Find dC/dx by differentiating the expression named C.

dC/dx=0.05x+3

So dC=(0.05x+3) dx

Plug in x=10 and dx=1:

dC=(0.05×10+3)(1)

dC=(0.5+3)

dC=3.5

Let D be the change in cost-the triangle thing.

Since dx=1 we only want the change in unit to be within 1 in difference.

So this means we want it to be from x=9 to x=1] ot from x=10 to x=11.

Let's do from x=9 to x=10 first:

DC=C(10)-C(9)

DC=[0.025×10^2+3×10+4]-[0.025×9^2+3×9+4]

DC=[2.5+30+4]-[0.025×81+27+4]

DC=[36.5]-[2.025+31]

DC=[36.5]-[33.025]

DC=3.475

Now let's do from x=10 to x=11

DC=[0.025×11^2+3×11+4]-[0.025×10^2+3×10+4]

DC=[0.025×121+33+4]-[36.5]

DC=[3.025+37]-[36.5]

DC=[40.025]-[36.5]

DC=3.525

So DC, the change in cost where the change in unit is 1, is between 3.475 and 3.525.

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution of the sample means is approximately normal with mean 41 and standard deviation 2.92, in thousands of dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 41, standard deviation of 28:

This means that [tex]\mu = 41, \sigma = 28[/tex]

Sample of 92:

This means that [tex]n = 92, s = \frac{28}{\sqrt{92}} = 2.92[/tex]

Distribution of the sample means:

here's the answer to your question

A sign on the gas pumps of a chain of gasoline stations encourages customers to have their oil checked with the claim that one out of four cars needs to have oil added. If this is true, what is the probability of the following events?

a. One out of the next four cars needs oil.
b. Two out of the next eight cars needs oil.
c.Three out of the next 12 cars need oil.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.4219 = 42.19% probability that one out of the next four cars needs oil.

b) 0.3115 = 31.15% probability that two out of the next eight cars needs oil.

c) 0.2581 = 25.81% probability that three out of the next 12 cars need oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they need oil, or they do not need it. The probability of a car needing oil is independent of any other car, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

One out of four cars needs to have oil added.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

a. One out of the next four cars needs oil.

This is P(X = 1) when n = 4. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{3} = 0.4219[/tex]

0.4219 = 42.19% probability that one out of the next four cars needs oil.

b. Two out of the next eight cars needs oil.

This is P(X = 2) when n = 8. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{8,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{6} = 0.3115[/tex]

0.3115 = 31.15% probability that two out of the next eight cars needs oil.

c.Three out of the next 12 cars need oil.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 12. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{9} = 0.2581[/tex]

0.2581 = 25.81% probability that three out of the next 12 cars need oil.

She took out a student loan to pay for her tuition and room & board for the four years she was attending the college. Her tuition fees were $6,970 per year, and the cost of her room and board was $11,320 per year. Now that she has graduated, she will have to start paying back her loan. Fortunately, Penny has a grace period of one year before she has to start paying back the loan. Her loan details are as follows: there is a fixed-rate interest of 4.5% and the interest compounds each month.
