Which is an infinite arithmetic sequence? a{10, 30, 90, 270, …} b{100, 200, 300, 400} c{150, 300, 450, 600, …} d{1, 2, 4, 8}
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference d between consecutive terms.
Sequence a
30 - 10 = 20
90 - 30 = 60
270 - 90 = 180
This sequence is not arithmetic
Sequence b
200 - 100 = 100
300 - 200 = 100
400 - 300 = 100
This sequence is arithmetic but is finite, that is last term is 400
Sequence c
300 - 150 = 150
450 - 300 = 150
600 - 450 = 150
This sequence is arithmetic and infinite, indicated by ........ within set
Sequence d
2 - 1 = 1
4 - 2 = 2
8 - 4 = 4
This sequence is not arithmetic
Thus the infinite arithmetic sequence is sequence c

A soup can has a height of 4 inches and a radius of 2.5 inches. What's the volume of soup in cubic inches that would fill one soup can? Question 3 options: A) 62.8 in3 B) 125.7 in3 C) 78.5 in3 D) 314 in3
Answer:
C. 78.5 in^3
Step-by-step explanation:
A soup can is in the shape of a cylinder. The volume of a cylinder can be found using the following formula:
[tex]v=\pi r^2h[/tex]
We know that the height is 4 inches and the radius is 2.5 inches.
r= 2.5 in
h= 4 in
[tex]v=\pi (2.5in)^2*4in[/tex]
Evaluate the exponent.
[tex](2.5 in)^2=2.5 in*2.5in=6.25 in^2[/tex]
[tex]v=\pi *6.25 in^2*4 in[/tex]
Multiply 6.25 in^2 and 4 in.
[tex]6.25 in^2*4 in=25 in^3[/tex]
[tex]v=\pi*25 in^3[/tex]
Multiply pi and 25 in^3.
[tex]v=78.5398163 in^3[/tex]
Round to the nearest tenth. The 3 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 5 in the tenth place.
[tex]v=78.5 in^3[/tex]
78.5 cubic inches can fill one soup can.
The diameter of steel rods manufactured on two different extrusion machines is being investigated. Two random samples of sizes n1"=15 and n2"=17 are selected, and the sample means and sample variances are x1 =8.73, s2=0.35, x =8.68, and s2=0.40, respectively. Assume that σ1^2 = σ2^2 that the data are drawn from a normal distribution.
Required:
a. Is there evidence to support the claim that the two machines produce rods with different mean diameters? Use alpha=0.05 in arriving at this conclusion.
b. Find the P-value for thet-statistic you calculated in part (a).
c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean rod diameter. Interpret this interval.
Answer:
a) No sufficient evidence to support the claim that the two machines produce rods with different mean diameters.
b) P-value is 0.80
c) −0.3939 <μ< 0.4939
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Data:

n1 = 15
n2 = 17
sample means:
x1 = 8.73
x2 = 8.68
sample variances:
s1² = 0.35
s2² = 0.40
Hypothesis:
H₀ : μ₁ = μ₂
H₁ : μ₁ ≠ μ₂
Compute the pooled standard deviation:
[tex]s_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(n_{1} - 1)s_{1}^{2} + (n_{2} - 1)s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1} +n_{2} -2} }[/tex]

[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{11.3}{30}}[/tex]
[tex]= \sqrt{0.376667}[/tex]

t = 0.230
Compute degree of freedom:
df = n1 + n2 -2 = 15 + 17 - 2 = 30
Compute the P-value from table using df = 30
P > 2 * 0.40 = 0.80
P > 0.05 ⇒ Fail to reject H₀
Null hypothesis is rejected when P-value is less than or equals to level of significance. But here the P-value = 0.80 and level of significance = 0.05. So P-value is greater than significance level. Hence there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that population means are different.
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean rod diameter:
confidence = c = 95% = 0.95

Answer:
3 ( a ) : x = 3.6,
3 ( b ) : x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
For 3a, we can calculate the value of x through Pythagorean Theorem, which seemingly was your approach. However, the right triangle with x present as the leg, did not have respective lengths 9.6 and 12. The right angle divides 9.6 into two congruent parts, making one of the legs of this right triangle 9.6 / 2 = 4.8. The hypotenuse will be 12 / 2 as well - as this hypotenuse is the radius, half of the diameter. Note that 12 / 2 = 6.
( 4.8 )² + x² = ( 6 )²,
23.04 + x² = 36,
x² = 36 - 23.04 = 12.96,
x = √12.96, x = 3.6
Now as you can see for part b, x is present as the radius. Length 3 forms a right angle with length 8, dividing 8 into two congruent parts, each of length 4. We can form a right triangle with the legs being 4 and 3, the hypotenuse the radius. Remember that all radii are congruent, and therefore x will be the value of this hypotenuse / radius.
( 4 )² + ( 3 )² = ( x )²,
16 + 9 = x² = 25,
x = √25, x = 5

From your earlier questions, we found
[tex]2\sin(4\pi t)+5\cos(4\pi t)=\sqrt{29}\sin\left(4\pi t+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac52\right)\right)[/tex]
so the wave has amplitude √29. The weight's maximum negative position from equilibrium is then -√29, so you are solving for t in the given interval for which
[tex]\sqrt{29}\sin\left(4\pi t+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac52\right)\right)=-\dfrac{\sqrt{29}}2[/tex]
Divide both sides by √29:
[tex]\sin\left(4\pi t+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac52\right)\right)=-\dfrac12[/tex]
Take the inverse sine of both sides, noting that we get two possible solution sets because we have
[tex]\sin\left(\dfrac{7\pi}6\right)=\sin\left(\dfrac{11\pi}6\right)=-\dfrac12[/tex]
and the sine wave has period 2π, so [tex]\sin x=\sin(x+2\pi)=\sin(x+4\pi)=\cdots[/tex].
[tex]\implies 4\pi t+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac52\right)=\dfrac{7\pi}6+2n\pi[/tex]
OR
[tex]\implies 4\pi t+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac52\right)=\dfrac{11\pi}6+2n\pi[/tex]
where n is any integer.
Now solve for t :
[tex]t=\dfrac{\frac{7\pi}6+2n\pi-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac52\right)}{4\pi}[/tex]
OR
[tex]t=\dfrac{\frac{11\pi}6+2n\pi-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac52\right)}{4\pi}[/tex]
We get solutions between 0 and 0.5 when n = 0 of t ≈ 0.196946 and t ≈ 0.363613.

A tin of tennis balls costs $6.99, and each tin contains 4
tennis balls.
If the tennis balls were sold individually, then
approximately how much would one tennis ball cost?
$
Answer:
About $1.75 per tennis balls
Step-by-step explanation:
A tin of 4 tennis balls costs $6.99. We are asked to find the price of one tennis ball.
We need to find the unit price, or price per ball.
Divide the cost by the number of tennis balls.
cost / tennis balls
cost = $6.99
tennis balls = 4 tennis balls
$6.99 / 4 tennis balls
Divide 6.99 by 4.
$1.7475 / 1 tennis ball
Round to the nearest cent or hundredth. The 7 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 4 to a 5 in the hundredth place.
$1.75 / 1 tennis ball
It would cost approximately $1.75 for one tennis ball.

Please help me on question 4 and 5 I am really stuck thank you I would really appreciate it
Answer:
1. 5/4
2. 7
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Lets call the width as w
Therefore length would be:
w+4
To find the perimeter you use the formula:
2 (l+w)
Now substitute our values into this formula:
2 (w+4+w)
2( 2w+4)
4w+8
Now make this equal to 13:
4w +8 = 13
4w = 5
w = 5/4
2. In this question we will call length l
Therefore width would be:
l-5
Now we will do the steps we did above:
2 (l+l-5)
2 (2l-5)
4l -10
4l - 10 = 18
4l = 28
l = 7
9. Marvin Gate bought some fencing from a wholesaler for $6,000. The wholesaler offered a trade discount of 35%. What was the original price?
(Round to the nearest cent.)

O B. $9.230.77
O C. $6,930.77
D. 55,930 77
Mark for review (Will be highlighted on the review page)
Answer:
B - %9230.77
Step-by-step explanation:
the original price of the fencing before the trade discount was approximately $9,230.77.
To find the original price of the fencing before the trade discount, we need to calculate the amount that corresponds to a 35% decrease from the discounted price.
Let's denote the original price as "P". The discounted price is given as $6,000.
The discounted price is calculated by subtracting the discount amount from the original price:
Discounted price = Original price - Discount amount
The discount amount is determined by multiplying the original price by the discount rate:
Discount amount = Original price × Discount rate
Given that the discount rate is 35% (or 0.35), we have:
Discount amount = P × 0.35
Substituting the discounted price of $6,000, we can write the equation as:
$6,000 = P - (P × 0.35)
Simplifying the equation:
$6,000 = P(1 - 0.35)
$6,000 = P(0.65)
To solve for P, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.65:
P = $6,000 / 0.65
P ≈ $9,230.77
Therefore, the original price of the fencing before the trade discount was approximately $9,230.77.
The correct answer is B. $9,230.77.

Answer:
Find a common denominator on the right side of the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation before the problem is
X² + b/a(x) + (b/2a)²= -c/a + b²/4a²
The next step in solving the above equation is to fibd tge common denominator on the right side of the equation.
X² + b/a(x) + (b/2a)²= -c/a + b²/4a²
X² + b/a(x) + (b/2a)²= -4ac/4a² + b²/4a²
X² + b/a(x) + (b/2a)²=( b²-4ac)/4a²
The right side of the equation now has a common denominator
The next step is to factorize the left side of the equation.
(X+b/2a)²= ( b²-4ac)/4a²
Squaring both sides
X+b/2a= √(b²-4ac)/√4a²
Final equation
X=( -b+√(b²-4ac))/2a
Or
X=( -b-√(b²-4ac))/2a

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] (4 + 5) + 2 = 4 + (5 + 2) [/tex] => any combination of numbers were formed or grouped when adding. The associative property of addition was applied.
[tex] 2(2x + 4) = 4x + 8 [/tex] => the sum of two terms (addend) are multiplied by by a number separately (I.e., a(b + c) = a(b) + a(c) = ab + ac). The property applied is distributive property.
[tex] (7x * x) * 3 = 7 * (x * 3) [/tex] => the numbers were grouped in any combination to arrive at same result when multiplying. Associative property of multiplication was applied.
[tex] (8 * x * 2) = (x * 8 * 2) [/tex] => the numbers where ordered in any manner to arrive at same result when multiplying. Cummutative property of multiplication was applied.
[tex] (7 + 3) + 1 = (1 + (7 + 3) [/tex] => the order in which the nnumbers in the were arranged doesn't matter, as same result is arrive at. This is Cummutative property of addition.

Step-by-step explanation:
Reducing scrap of 4-foot planks of hardwood is an important factor in reducing cost at a wood-floor manufacturing company. Accordingly, engineers at Lumberworks are investigating a potential new cutting method involving lateral sawing that may reduce the scrap rate. To examine its viability, two independent, random, representative samples of planks were examined. One sample contained 200 planks which were sawed using the old method. The other sample contained 400 planks which were sawed using the new method. Sixty-two of the 200 planks were scrapped under the old method of sawing, whereas 36 of the 400 planks were scrapped under the new method.
Required:
a. Construct the 90% confidence interval for the difference between the population scrap rates between the old and new methods, respectively.
b. Write the null and alternative hypotheses to test for differences in the population scrap rates between the old and new cutting methods, respectively.
c. Using the part a results, can we conclude at the 10% significance level that the scrap rate of the new method is different than the old method?
Answer:
The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.1 is ± 1.645
The calculated z= 9.406
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate the hypotheses as
H0: p1= p2 there is no difference between the population scrap rates between the old and new cutting methods
Ha : p1≠ p2
Choose the significance level ∝= 0.1
The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.1 is ± 1.645
The test statistic is
Z = [tex]\frac{p_1- p_2}\sqrt pq(\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2})[/tex]
p1= scrap rate of old method = 62/200=0.31
p2= scrap rate of new method = 36/400= 0.09
p = an estimate of the common scrap rate on the assumption that the two rates are same.
p = n1p1+ n2p2/ n1 + n2
p =200 (0.31) + 400 (0.09) / 600
p= 62+ 36/600= 98/600 =0.1633
now q = 1-p= 1- 0.1633= 0.8367
Thus
z= 0.31- 0.09/ √0.1633*0.8367( 1/200 + 1/400)
z= 0.301/√ 0.13663( 3/400)
z= 0.301/0.0320
z= 9.406
The calculated value of z falls in the critical region therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the 10% significance level that the scrap rate of the new method is different from the old method.
Suppose x varies directly with the square root of y and inversely with the cube root of z. What equation models this combined variation?
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{x = k \frac{\sqrt{y} }{\sqrt[3]{z} }}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
1) x ∝ √y
2) x ∝ [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{z} }[/tex]
Combining the proportionality
=> x ∝ [tex]\frac{\sqrt{y} }{\sqrt[3]{z} }[/tex]
=> [tex]x = k \frac{\sqrt{y} }{\sqrt[3]{z} }[/tex]
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
