An author published a book which was being sold online. The first month the author sold 14400 books, but the sales were declining steadily at 5% each month. If this trend continues, how many total books would the author have sold over the first 23 months, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The author sold a total of 30240 books following this trend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find 5% of 14400 first;

14400 * 5%

14400 * 5/100

144 * 5

720 (So now we know that they are decreasing by 720 each month; therefore thats the constant)

=> aₙ = a₁ + r(n - 1)

=> a₂₃ = 14400 + 720(23 - 1)

=> a₂₃ = 14400 + 720(22)

=> a₂₃ = 14400 + 15840

=> a₂₃ = 30240

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The author sold a total of 30240 books following this trend.

Let's find 5% of 14400 first;

[tex]14400 * 5\%\\14400 * 5/100\\144 * 5=720[/tex]

What is an arithmetic progression?

A, is a type of numerical sequence studied by Mathematics, where each term or element counting from the second is equal to the sum of the previous term with a constant.

So using the arithmetic progression we have:

[tex]a_n = a_1 + r(n - 1)\\a_{23} = 14400 + 720(23 - 1)\\ a_{23} = 14400 + 720(22)\\ a_{23} = 14400 + 15840\\a_{23} = 30240[/tex]

Probability of an event = 1 / 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people in particular area = 1,600

Number of people vaccinated = 160

Find:

Probability[people vaccinated]

Computation;

Probability of an event = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcome

Probability of an event = 160 / 1600

Probability of an event = 16 / 160

It’s really easy do not make it complicated on yourself!

Fist thing you should know ANY NUMBER WHICH IS TO POWER ZERO THE ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE ONE!!

Part A : (7^2)^x is (49)^x

(49)^x = 1 , here is basically asking you what’s the value of X to know which number to the power of 49 to put so that it equals to 1, obviously the answer is 0 as we said before ANY NUMBER TO THE POWER OF 0 , the answer will be 1

Part A = 0
————————-

Part B IS GONNA BE WAY EASIER NOW TRUST ME!!

(7^0) = 1

(1)^x = 1

So now is asking what number to put for x for you to multiply by one to get one it’s obviously 1, because 1 x 1= 1

Part B = 1

Answers

Answer:

x=3  x = -1/2  x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x - 3)(2x + 1)(x - 1)

Set the function equal to zero

0 = (x - 3)(2x + 1)(x - 1)

Using the zero product property

x-3 =0   2x+1 =0  x-1 =0

x=3   2x = -1  x=1

x=3  x = -1/2  x=1

if 5x-26=x+50, then what is the value of x

Answers

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 26 = x + 50

Subtract x on both sides of the equation.

4x - 26 = 50

Add 26 on both sides.

4x = 76

Now, divide by 4 on both sides.

x = 19

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-26=x+50

5x = 76 +x

4x = 76

x = 19

PLEASE HELPPPPPP FINDING CIRCUMFERENCE AND AREA OF A CIRCLE

Answers

Answer:

The circumference of the circle is 28.26 m.

The area of the circle is 63.585 [tex]m^{2}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the circumference of the circle, start by using the circumference formula of a circle, which is [tex]C= 2\pi r[/tex]. However, 3.14 will be used instead of [tex](\pi)[/tex] for this formula.

First, the radius of the circle needs to be found. To find the radius of the circle, divide the diameter by 2 because the radius equals half of the diameter. The radius is 9 m divided by 2, which equals 4.5 m.

Next, plug in the radius into the formula, and the formula will look like [tex]C=(2)(\pi )(4.5 m)[/tex]. Then, solve the equation, and the answer will be 28.26 m.

To solve for the area of the circle, start by using the area formula of a circle, which is [tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]. However, 3.14 will be used instead of [tex](\pi)[/tex] for this formula.

For the area, plug the radius into the formula, and the formula will look like [tex]A= (3.14)(4.5m)^{2}[/tex]. Then, solve the equation, and the answer will be 63.585 [tex]m^{2}[/tex].

It's a cubic.

It has 1 root that cuts the x axis at x = -4

It has 2 roots that are the same. The reason you know this is because the curve touches the x axis, but does not go through the x axis, at 3.

y = (x + 4) (x - 3)(x - 3)

Notice the sign change. x has to have sign change when going from a root to a binomial

The root is - 4. The binomial is (x + 4)

Answer:

6.)

The answer is 63 inches because this value is closer to the mean and while the data is positively skewed (as in the mean is greater than the median) it's not by that much.

7.)

This would mean that the data is symmetric. By this, I mean that there would have to be an equal amount of data on either side of the mean. For example, for every entry 2 units below from the mean there must be one 2 units above the mean and so on. There would also have to be many entries on the mean/median (so that it would also be the mode)

8.)

We can observe that there are no real outliers that would heavily influence the data and so we can just take the mean

the mean of student A is: (68+72+73+67)/4= 70

The mean of student B is: (74+73+73+74)/4=73.5

We can see that student A, on average, is closer to 70 than student B and can therefore conclude that student A is more percise
