Answers

Answer 1

The first four terms of the given sequence are 18, 10, 6, and 4 respectively.

What is a sequence?

A sequence is an ordered list object which related and connected by a common value.

There are many sequences. They are Arithmetic sequence, Geometric sequence, and so on.

Calculation:

It is given that,

The first term of the sequence is a1 = 18

And the terms of the sequence are related by,

a(n + 1) = (2 + an)/2

For n = 1;

a(1 + 1) = (2 + a1)/2

⇒ a2 = (2 + 18)/2 = 10

For n = 2;

a(2 + 1) = (2 + a2)/2

⇒ a3 = (2 + 10)/2 = 6

For n = 3;

a(3 + 1) = (2 + a3)/2

⇒ a4 = (2 + 6)/2 = 4

Thus, the first four terms of the given sequence are a1 = 18, a2 = 10, a3 = 6, and a4 = 4.

Two Fair six-sided dice are rolled and the face values are added. What is the probability of obtaining an even number less than 7?

Answers

Answer:

The probability is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are interested in calculating the probability of obtaining even numbers which are less than 7, when two fair six-sided dice are rolled.

Now, mathematically the probability will be;

number of even numbers less than 7/total number of outcomes

Firstly, the total number of outcomes is 36. Now to get the number of even numbers less than 7, we need to construct tables that could show our sample space.

Please check attachment for this.

Now from the constructed table, we can find the number of even numbers less than 7.

By counting, we can see that the we have 9 even numbers which are less than 7

Thus, the probability of selecting an even number which is less than 7 is;

9/36 = 1/4

Given that a quadrilateral PQRS is a parallelogram, PQ and RS are opposite sides, PQ = 7x + 16, RS = 5x +28, and QR = 67 which of the following statements are correct? More than one answer may be correct.

Answers

Answer:

PQ = 58

Perimeter = 250

Opposite sides are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ = 58:

Because PQRS is a parallelogram, PQ equals RS.

1. Set up the equation and solve

7x + 16 = 5x + 28

2x = 12

x = 6

2. Plug in x into PQ

7(6) + 16 = 58

Perimeter = 250:

PQ = RS and QR = SP

1. Add the sides

58 + 58 + 67 + 67 = 250

Opposite sides are congruent:

Solve the triangle. A = 51°, b = 14, c = 6 A. a ≈ 14.9, C ≈ 28.1, B ≈ 100.9 B. a ≈ 11.2, C ≈ 24.1, B ≈ 104.9 C. a ≈ 14.9, C ≈ 24.1, B ≈ 104.9

Answers

Answer:

(B) has the closest values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the triangle: A = 51°, b = 14, c = 6

A. a ≈ 14.9, C ≈ 28.1, B ≈ 100.9

B. a ≈ 11.2, C ≈ 24.1, B ≈ 104.9

C. a ≈ 14.9, C ≈ 24.1, B ≈ 104.9

Using the cosine rule,

a^2 = b^2+c^2-2bc (cos(A))

= 196+36 - 2(14)(6)cos(51)

=  196+36 - 105.72

= 126.27

a = sqrt(126.27)

= 11.24

using sine rule,

sin(C)/sin(A) = 6/11.24

sin(C) = 6/11.24*sin(51)= 0.41495

C = arcsin(0.41495 = 24.5 degrees, reasonably close to the given value, probably due to the answer used the rounded value of a.

B = 180-51-24.5 =104.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane can be named by a single letter, such as L in this problem, or by any three non-collinear points that lie on the plane. Non-collinear points are points that do not all lie in a single line.

Points M, N, O, and U lie on plane L, so you can choose any 3 of the 4 points to name the plane with, but make sure all 3 points are non-collinear.

To name plane L with points, you cannot use points MNO together since they are collinear, but you can name it using point U plus any two of the points M, N, and O.

plane L can be named

what do you think would happen to a person if mortor neuron from the grey matter of spinal cord is removed?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Introduction

Until World War II, a serious spinal cord injury (SCI) usually meant certain death. Anyone who survived such injury relied on a wheelchair for mobility in a world with few accommodations and faced an ongoing struggle to survive secondary complications such as breathing problems, blood clots, kidney failure, and pressure sores. By the middle of the twentieth century, new antibiotics and novel approaches to preventing and treating bed sores and urinary tract infections revolutionized care after spinal cord injury. This greatly expanded life expectancy and required new strategies to maintain the health of people living with chronic paralysis. New standards of care for treating spinal cord injuries were established: reposition the spine, fix the bones in place to prevent further damage, and rehabilitate disabilities with exercise.

Today, improved emergency care for people with spinal cord injuries, antibiotics to treat infections, and aggressive rehabilitation can minimize damage to the nervous system and restore function to varying degrees. Advances in research are giving doctors and people living with SCI hope that spinal cord injuries will eventually be repairable. With new surgical techniques and developments in spinal nerve regeneration, cell replacement, neuroprotection, and neurorehabilitation, the future for spinal cord injury survivors looks brighter than ever.

A factory costs $280,000. You forecast that it will produce cash inflows of $80,000 in year 1, $140,000 in year 2, and $220,000 in year 3. The discount rate is 12%. What is the value of the factory?

Answers

Answer:

=$339,627.36

Step-by-step explanation:

PV = FV/(1+R)^n

where

PV = Present Value

FV = Future Value

R = Rate

n = number of periods

PV

Year 1=$80,000

Year 2=$140,000

Year 3=$220,000

r=12%=0.12

Year 1:

PV=80,000 / (1+0.12)^1

=80,000 / 1.12

=$71,428.57

Year 2:

PV=140,000 / (1+0.12)^2

=140,000 / (1.12)^2

=140,000 / 1.2544

=$111,607.14

Year 3:

PV=220,000 / (1+0.12)^3

=220,000 / (1.12)^3

=220,000 / 1.404928

=$156,591.65

Value of the factory= 71,428.57 + 111,607.14 + 156,591.65

=$339,627.36

Write an equation for a parabola with a focus of (1,-2) and a directrix of y=6

Answers

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex](x - 1)² + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point (x, y) on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix.

Using the distance formula

[tex]\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2^}[/tex] = | y - 6 |

Square both sides

(x - 1)² + (y + 2)² = (y - 6)² ( expand the factors in y )

(x - 1)² + y² + 4y + 4 = y² - 12y + 36 ( subtract y² - 12y from both sides )

(x - 1)² + 16y + 4 = 36 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

(x - 1)² + 16y = 32 ← subtract (x - 1)² from both sides )

16y = - (x - 1)² + 32 ( divide all terms by 16 )

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] (x - 1)² + 2

if the area of the rectangle is 120, what is the area of triangle cpd

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle=120

find area of CPD

area=1/2  (area of the rectangle)

area =  1/2×120=60

The area of triangle CPD IS 30 square units.

If the area of the rectangle is 120, then the area of triangle CPD is 30.

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

Area = length × width

In this case, the length of the rectangle is 120/width.

The area of a triangle is given by the formula:

Area = (1/2) × base × height

The base of triangle CPD is the width of the rectangle, and the height of triangle CPD is half the length of the rectangle.

Therefore, the area of triangle CPD is:

(1/2) × width × (120/width) = 30

So the answer is 30.

OR

1 1/2 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 2 1/2 hours to minutes.

That is 150

Multiply 2/5 with 150.

Subtract that from 150.

It gives 120 minutes.

Convert that back to Hours.

You get 1 Hour and 30 Minutes or 1 1/2 Hours.

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. The time that is spent by Jasmine to prepare for snacks is 2.1 hours or 2 1/10 hours.

What is a Fraction?

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

What is a Mixed Fraction?

A mixed fraction is a fraction that contains a whole number and a fraction whose denominator is greater than the numerator. A mixed fraction can be converted as,

2 1/2

= (2×2 + 1)/2

= 5/2

= 2.5

Given that Jasmine has 2 1/2 hours until her guests arrive. She spends 2/5 of that time cleaning and the rest of the time preparing snacks. Therefore, the time spent on preparing snacks is,

Time spent on preparing for snacks = 2 1/2 - 2/5

                                                            = 5/2 - 2/5

                                                            = 2.5 - 0.4

                                                            = 2.1 hours

                                                            = 2 1/10

Hence, the time that is spent by Jasmine to prepare for snacks is 2.1 hours or 2 1/10 hours.

Using a sample of 60 undergraduates, Dr. Hotchkins discovers a negative correlation between stress and emotional well-being. While looking at a scatterplot of the data, Dr. Hotchkins realizes there are 4 outliers in the data, all for individuals with extremely high scores on stress and extremely high scores on well-being. What is the effect of these outliers on the correlation

Answers

Answer and explanation:

A negative correlation means a relationship between two variables whereby each variable affects the other such that an increase in one variable means a decrease in the other and vice versa. This is the situation with the correlation graph/scatter plot of Dr. Hotchkins: An increase in stress would cause a decrease in emotional well being and vice versa

An Outlier is a data point on the scatter plot that does not fall into the pattern of the correlation graph. From the above, 4 points are outliers: extremely high points on stress and emotional well being. These points would affect (increase or decrease) the correlation coefficient depending on where they fall in the pattern. In this case there are 4 outliers out of 60 data points and we know that the more outliers there are the more effect they have on the correlation coefficient and vice versa(also depending on where the outlier is on the scatter plot)
