Answer:

  59, 56, 53, 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Use n = 1 through 4 and evaluate.

  a1 = 59 -3(0) = 59

  a2 = 59 -3(1) = 56

  a3 = 59 -3(2) = 53

  a4 = 59 -3(3) = 50

The first four terms are 59, 56, 53, 50.

What is the result of a dilation of scale factor 3 centered at the origin of the line 2y + 3x=10?? PLEASE HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEE

Answers

Given:

The equation of a line is:

[tex]2y+3x=10[/tex]

The line is dilated by factor 3.

To find:

The result of dilation.

Solution:

The equation of a line is:

[tex]2y+3x=10[/tex]

For [tex]x=0[/tex],

[tex]2y+3(0)=10[/tex]

[tex]2y+0=10[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=5[/tex]

For [tex]x=2[/tex],

[tex]2y+3(2)=10[/tex]

[tex]2y+6=10[/tex]

[tex]2y=10-6[/tex]

[tex]2y=4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]y=\dfrac{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=2[/tex]

The given line passes through the two points A(0,5) and B(2,2).

If the line dilated by factor 3 with origin as center of dilation, then

[tex](x,y)\to (3x,3y)[/tex]

Using this rule, we get

[tex]A(0,5)\to A'(3(0),3(5))[/tex]

[tex]A(0,5)\to A'(0,15)[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]B(2,2)\to B'(3(2),3(2))[/tex]

[tex]B(2,2)\to B'(6,6)[/tex]

The dilated line passes through the points A'(0,15) and B'(6,6). So, the equation of dilated line is:

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-15=\dfrac{6-15}{6-0}(x-0)[/tex]

[tex]y-15=\dfrac{-9}{6}(x)[/tex]

[tex]y-15=\dfrac{-3}{2}x[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2.

[tex]2(y-15)=-3x[/tex]

[tex]2y-30=-3x[/tex]

[tex]2y+3x=30[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the line after the dilation is [tex]2y+3x=30[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the account balance is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

where principal P is invested at annual rate r compounded n times per year for t years. Using the given values, we find the balance to be ...

A stadium's normal ticket price is $78. As a special promotion they offer 15% off. What is the price of the discounted
ticket?

Answers

Answer:

$66.3

Step-by-step explanation:

price of a ticket without discount = $78

discount  % = 15%

discount amount = ?

price of a discounted ticket = ?

discount amount = discount% of price of a original ticket

=15/100 * $78

=$1170/100

=$ 11.7

price of the discounted ticket = $78 - $11.7

=$66.3

The discounted price of the stadium's normal ticket is  $66.3

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a value per hundredth. Percentages can be converted into decimals and fractions by dividing the percentage value by a hundred.

Given, A stadium's normal ticket price is $78 and As a special promotion they offer 15% off.

Therefore, The discounted price of the ticket should be (100 - 15)% = 85% of the original price which is,

a) it is flawed because it is a census.
b) it is flawed because it is not statistically significant.
c) it appears to be sound because the data are not biased in anyway.
d) it is flawed because it is a voluntary response sample.

Answers

Answer:

c) it appears to be sound because the data are not biased in anyway.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given regarding the sample selection method , the size, the larger sample from which the survey subject were selected, we can conclude that the data is sound and not in anyway biased. The subject were selected from a reputable market research firm, which means the subjects were chosen from a larger sample which is reliable and not just a voluntary pool of subjects. Also, the selection process is randomized. Based on these, there are no flaws which are likely to cause the introduction of bias into the sample selected. Hence, the data is sound and not in any way biased.

elimination was used to solve a system of equations. one of the intermediate steps led to the equation 2x= 8. which of the following systems could have led to this equation?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C

Step-by-step explanation:

The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.

For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...

  (4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)

  4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to x+5y=−2 that contains the point (3,0).

Answers

Perpendicular Definition:

[tex] \large \boxed{m_1m_2 = - 1}[/tex]

Slopes of two different equations multiply each others and must equal to -1. We can also say that the perpendicular occurs only if both equations are negative reciprocal to each others. For example, we are given the equation of y = 2x. The perpendicular to y = 2x would be y = (-1/2)x. See how both are reciprocal to each others.

From the equation below:

[tex] \large{x + 5y = - 2}[/tex]

Since the equation is in the form of Ax+By = C. It is better to use the another slope formula which is:

[tex] \large \boxed{m = - \frac{A}{B} }[/tex]

From the equation above, use the slope formula to find the slope.

[tex] \large{m = - \frac{1}{5} }[/tex]

Therefore the equation has a slope of -1/5. Next to find the perpendicular equation to the original equation. Since our slope is -1/5 - that means the negative reciprocal of -1/5 is 5. Therefore the slope of perpendicular line is 5.

Next we will be using the point-slope form below:

[tex] \large \boxed{y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}[/tex]

Given the y1 and x1 or (x1,y1) are the points. Our perpendicular slope is 5 which passes through the point (3,0). Substitute both slope and the point in.

[tex] \large{y - 0 = 5(x - 3)}[/tex]

Simplify in the slope-intercept form as we get:

Find g(a+1)-g(a-1)​

Answers

Answer:

g(a + 1) - g(a - 1) = 4a

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x^2 + 5,

when x = a+1, g(a+1) = (a+1)^2 + 5.

when x = a-1, g(a-1) = (a-1)^2 +5.

g(a+1)-g(a-1) = (a+1)^2 + 5 - [(a-1)^2 + 5]

= a^2 + 2a + 1 + 5 - [a^2 - 2a + 1 + 5]

Answer:

  row 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of row n is 2^n, so the row number with a particular sum is ...

  2^n = sum

  n·log(2) = log(sum)

  n = log(sum)/log(2)

The row with sum 8192 is ...

  n = log(8192)/log(2) = 13

Consider two x distributions corresponding to the same x distribution. The first x distribution is based on samples of size n = 100 and the second is based on samples of size n = 225. Which x distribution has the smaller standard error?

Answers

Answer:

Hence the correct option is the distribution with n = 225 will have a smaller standard error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the standard deviation is

[tex]S.E=\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

If n = 100 then consider [tex]\sigma =6[/tex]

[tex]S.E=\frac{6}{\sqrt{100}}=0.6[/tex].

If n= 225 then consider [tex]\sigma =6[/tex]

[tex]S.E=\frac{6}{\sqrt{225}}=0.4[/tex].

Here the distribution with n = 225 will have a smaller standard error.

[tex]P(12\ midnight - 6am) =0.230[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

The probability of each time interval

To do this, we simply divide the number of inventors in the interval by the total inventors (966)

So, we have:

[tex]P(6am-12\ noon) = \frac{6am-12\ noon}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(6am-12\ noon) = \frac{295}{966}[/tex]

[tex]P(6am-12\ noon) = 0.305[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ noon - 6pm) = \frac{12\ noon - 6pm}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ noon - 6pm) = \frac{138}{966}[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ noon - 6pm) = 0.143[/tex]

[tex]P(6pm-12\ midnight) = \frac{6pm-12\ midnight}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(6pm-12\ midnight) = \frac{311}{966}[/tex]

[tex]P(6pm-12\ midnight) = 0.322[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ midnight - 6am) =\frac{12\ midnight - 6am}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ midnight - 6am) =\frac{222}{966}[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ midnight - 6am) =0.230[/tex]

A journal article reports that 34% of fathers take no responsibility for child care. A group of fathers believes that this estimate is too high. In a random sample of 80 fathers, it was found that 23 of those fathers take no responsibility for child care. Is there significant evidence at the 1% significance level that less than 34% of fathers take no responsibility for child care

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.1611>0.01, which means that there is not significant evidence at the 1% significance level that less than 34% of fathers take no responsibility for child care

Step-by-step explanation:

A journal article reports that 34% of fathers take no responsibility for child care. A group of fathers believes that this estimate is too high.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of at least 34%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p \geq 0.34[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is less than that, that is:

[tex]H_1: p < 0.34[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.34 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.34, \sigma = \sqrt{0.34*0.66}[/tex]

In a random sample of 80 fathers, it was found that 23 of those fathers take no responsibility for child care.

This means that [tex]n = 80, X = \frac{23}{80} = 0.2875[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.2875 - 0.34}{\frac{\sqrt{0.34*0.66}}{\sqrt{80}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.99[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.2875, which is the p-value of Z = -0.99.

Looking at the Z-table, Z = -0.99 has a p-value of 0.1611.

The p-value of the test is 0.1611>0.01, which means that there is not significant evidence at the 1% significance level that less than 34% of fathers take no responsibility for child care
