Compute the sum of the first 8 terms in the sequence: 100, -50, 25, -12,5. Show work!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

100, -50, 25, -12.5, 6.25, -3.125, 1.5625, -0.78125

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term is being multiplied by -0.5

How did I know?

Divide the second term by the first.

-50 divided by 100 = -1/2

Find the last four terms.

-12.5 x -1/2 = 6.25

6.25 x -1/2 = -3.125

-3.125 x -1/2 = 1.5625

1.5625 x -1/2 = -0.78125

The altitude of an airplane is decreasing at a rate of 44 feet per second. What is the change in altitude of the airplane over a period of 34 seconds?

Answers

Answer:

1320 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is multiply the rate of change of altitude by the time it took the altitude to change.

The altitude of an airplane is decreasing at a rate of 44 feet per second. After 30 seconds, the change is altitude is:

44 * 30 = 1320 feet

The altitude of the airplane has changed by 1320 feet.

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex] z= \frac{34-34}{2.5}= 0[/tex]

[tex] z= \frac{39-34}{2.5}= 2[/tex]

And we want the probability from 0 to two deviations above the mean and we got 95/2 = 47.5 %

b) [tex] P(X<31.5) [/tex]

[tex] z= \frac{31.5-34}{2.5}= -1[/tex]

So one deviation below the mean we have: (100-68)/2 = 16%

c) [tex] z= \frac{29-34}{2.5}= -2[/tex]

[tex] z= \frac{36.5-34}{2.5}= 1[/tex]

For this case below 2 deviation from the mean we have 2.5% and above 1 deviation from the mean we got 16% and then the percentage between -2 and 1 deviation above the mean we got: (100-16-2.5)% = 81.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a random variable with the following parameters:

[tex] X \sim N(\mu = 34, \sigma=2.5)[/tex]

From the empirical rule we know that within one deviation from the mean we have 68% of the values, within two deviations we have 95% and within 3 deviations we have 99.7% of the data.

We want to find the following probability:

[tex] P(34 < X<39)[/tex]

We can find the number of deviation from the mean with the z score formula:

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

And replacing we got

[tex] z= \frac{34-34}{2.5}= 0[/tex]

[tex] z= \frac{39-34}{2.5}= 2[/tex]

And we want the probability from 0 to two deviations above the mean and we got 95/2 = 47.5 %

For the second case:

[tex] P(X<31.5) [/tex]

[tex] z= \frac{31.5-34}{2.5}= -1[/tex]

So one deviation below the mean we have: (100-68)/2 = 16%

For the third case:

[tex] P(29 < X<36.5)[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] z= \frac{29-34}{2.5}= -2[/tex]

[tex] z= \frac{36.5-34}{2.5}= 1[/tex]

For this case below 2 deviation from the mean we have 2.5% and above 1 deviation from the mean we got 16% and then the percentage between -2 and 1 deviation above the mean we got: (100-16-2.5)% = 81.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot

A scatter plot is like a scatter chart or graph that uses the dots for representing the values of two different numeric variables. The horizontal value indicates the individual point data. Thus is used for observing the realtisohips between the variables.

This the answer is level of the water in a dam each day and date during 1 month.

The scatter plot can tell you the values for the set of data. The points may be given in different sizes, colors, and shapes. The data is displayed in points. The values are shown on the vertical axis. The relationship of the data can positive, negative, and neutral. The scatter plot can display a mosaic and a fluctuational diagram.Hence the option C is correct.

The ratio of the investment of Bob, Paula and Sam is 12:17:21. C. The ratio of the investment of Bob, Paula and Sam is 12:5:4. D. The profit of Paula was $23,800

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

since sam invest the least, let a be the amount invested by sam

sam = a

paul = a + 5000

bob = a + 5000 + 4000

3a + 14000 = 50000

3a = 36000

a = 12000

thus sam is 12000, paul is 17000 and Bob is 21000

therefore the ratio of B:P:S is 21:17:12

profit by paula is 17/50 x 70000 = 23800

The profit by Paula is 17/50 x 70000 = 23800.

We have given that Bob, Paula and Sam invest $50000 in a business. Bob invests $4000 more than Paul does and Paul invests $5000 more than Sam does. If the total profit was $70000

Since sam invest the least, let a be the amount invested by sam

Therefore we get,

sam = a

What is the investment of Paul?

The investment of Paul = a + 5000

Bob = a + 5000 + 4000

3a + 14000 = 50000

3a = 36000

divide both sides by 3 so we get,

a=36000/3

a = 12000

Therefore, sam is 12000,

paul =5000+12000=17000 and

Bob =12000+9000= 21000

Therefore the ratio of B:P:S is 21:17:12

The profit by Paula is 17/50 x 70000 = 23800.

Let g and r represent the numbers of games played and rides ridden, respectively. Then the system can be written ...

  1.50g +2.50r = 16.50 . . . . . total amount spent

  g = 2r . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . relationship of games to rides

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First try any possible combinations of games *2 more than rides.

Ex: 1&2, 2&4, 3&6, 4&8

2.50*3 = $7.50

1.50*6 = $9.00

7.50 + 9 = $16.50

If # of rides = r and # of games = g, equation:

Answers

Answer:

x = -3

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, you can use the elimination method, which is to have one of the variables match, but be the opposite sign of the other:

- x + y = 0

4x - 3y = -3

The easier one to match is the 1st equation, and to make it match oppositely, you multiply the whole equation by 4:

4(-x + y = 0)

-4x + 4y = 0

4x - 3y = -3

-4x and 4x cancel each other out:

4y = 0

-3y = -3

_______

y = -3

Then plug in -3 for y, into one of the equations:

- x + y = 0

- x - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides:

- x = 3

Divide both sides by -1:

x = -3

Ollivanders stuffed bear shop has 456 bears in stock exactly half of them Are made from wool how many wool does Mr.oillvander have in stock

Answers

Answer:

228 of them are made from wool, but there is no enough information to determine how many would he has in stock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Ollivander's stuffed bear shop has 456 bears in stock, and exactly half of them are made from wool, this means that 1/2 of 456 are made from wool

1/2 of 456 = 1/2 × 456 = 456/2 = 228.

That is 228 of them are made from wool.

However, nothing tells us that this is all he has in his stock. There is no information available to determine how many would he has in stock.

Identify the inequality to solve and the maximum number of people.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract the cost of the rental from the amount of money:

$400-$150 = $250

Therefore Tia has $250 to spend for additional people. Then if each person is $15, divide the remaining amount of money by the amount of money per person:

$250/$15 = 16.67

Since you can't have 0.67 of a person she can have 16 people go with her.

If the coffee has a temperature of 210 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 2.5 minutes later has cooled to 191 degrees in a room at 64 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 156 degrees.

The effect of acid rain on the environment depends on the pH of the rain and the characteristics of the environment. It appears that acid rain has a negative effect on plants. The scale below shows the pH of normal rain. Provide the information requested below that should be included in a research plan to test the effect of pH on the early growth of bean plants in the laboratory.
