Find the value of [tex]$6+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{6+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{6+\cdots}}}}$.[/tex] Your answer will be of the form [tex]$a+b\sqrt{c}$[/tex] where no factor of $c$ (other than $1$) is a square. Find $a+b+c$.

Answers

Answer 1

Let

[tex]x = 6 + \dfrac1{2 + \dfrac1{6 + \dfrac1{2 + \cdots}}}[/tex]

Then

[tex]x = 6 + \dfrac1{2 + \dfrac1x}[/tex]

and solving for x gives

[tex]x = 6 + \dfrac x{2x + 1}[/tex]

[tex]x = \dfrac{13x + 6}{2x + 1}[/tex]

[tex]x(2x+1) = 13x + 6[/tex]

[tex]2x^2 + x = 13x + 6[/tex]

[tex]2x^2 - 12x - 6 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 6x - 3 = 0[/tex]

By the quadratic formula,

[tex]x = 3 \pm 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

but x must be a positive number, so only the positive square root solution is valid.

[tex]x = 3 + 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

We identify a = c = 3 and b = 2, so a + b + c = 8.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of direct variation would be the relationship of distance with time when speed is constant.

d = st

Let's assume you travel at the speed of 60 mph. The distance at 0, 0.5, 1, 2 hours would be 0, 30, 60, 120 miles.

d = 60t

This is a linear relationship and produces a graph of line.

See the graph.

--------------------

An example of inverse variation would be the time to complete the same work as number of workers increase.

t = w/p, where w is work (constant), p- number of workers

Assume 5 workers complete wok in 20 days, 10 workers do same in 10 days, 20 workers do in 5 days.

t = 100/p

This relationship produces a curved line.

See the graph.

Answers

Answer:

B) A = 52.3°, b = 1.7 m, c = 2.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that it is a right angle triangle because C = 90°

because of that we can do 180 - 90 + 37.7

which is a=52.3

Because it is a right angle triangle, we can use sin, cos,tan

I will use sin to find the side of c

2.2 is a

sin 52.3 = 2.2/x

x= 2.2/ sin 52.3

x=2.78

You could do cos or tan but the pythagorean theorem for me is much faster

so it looks like this, a^2+b^2 =c^2

in this case we have both a and c we want b

so we rearrange

c^2-a^2=b^2

2.78^2-2.2^2= b^2

[tex]\sqrt{2.89}[/tex]=b

1.7=b

therefore it would be this option B) A = 52.3°, b = 1.7 m, c = 2.8 m

Answers

Answer:

who measures someone's height in inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 14

It will take 13.3 months for Jose to be the same height with Jacob.

x = number of month

The height equation for Jose:

Jose is already 52 inches tall and growing at 0.25 inches per month. Therefore, his height is represented as follows

h(x) = 52 + 0.25(x)

The height equation for Jacob:

Jacob is already 54 inches tall and growing at 0.1 inches per month. Therefore, his height is represented as follows

h(x) = 54 + 0.1x

For both to have the same height,

52 + 0.25x = 54 + 0.1x

52 - 54 = 0.1x - 0.25x

-2 = -0.15x

x = -2 / -0.15

x = 13.3333333333

x = 13.3 months

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left tailed test, there is not enough evidence to show that the patients with schizophrenia have less TBV on average than a  patient that is considered normal.

At the null hypothesis, we test if patients with schizophrenia do not have less TBV on average than a  patient that is considered normal, that is, the subtraction is not negative, hence:

[tex]H_0: \mu_S - \mu_N \geq 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if they have less, that is, if the subtraction is negative, hence:

[tex]H_1: \mu_S - \mu_N < 0[/tex]

Regarding each sample, the mean and standard deviation are found using a calculator.

[tex]\mu_N = 1463339.2, s_N = 125458.28 , n_N = 32[/tex]

[tex]\mu_S = 1445132.3, s_S = 171355.8, n_S = 30[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for each sample, hence, the t-distribution will be used.

The standard errors are given by:

[tex]Se_N = \frac{125458.28}{\sqrt{32}} = 22178.1[/tex]

[tex]Se_S = \frac{171355.8}{\sqrt{30}} = 31285.1[/tex]

The distribution of the difference has mean and standard error given by:

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu_S - \mu_N = 1445132.3 - 1463339.2 = -18206.9 [/tex]

[tex]Se = \sqrt{Se_N^2 + Se_S^2} = \sqrt{22178.1^2 + 31285.1^2} = 38348.7[/tex]

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{Se}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the hypothesis.

Hence:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{Se}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{-18206.9 - 0}{38348.7}[/tex]

[tex]t = -0.47[/tex]

The critical value for a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, with a significance level of 0.1 and 32 + 30 - 2 = 60 df is [tex]t^{\ast} = 2[/tex]

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left tailed test, there is not enough evidence to show that the patients with schizophrenia have less TBV on average than a  patient that is considered normal.

It would be 22.4-16.1 which is 6.3 pounds!

Answer:

So for Shop A 10, a pack of 10 pens is going to be 2.30. To get to 70 pens we must multiply

7x2.30

=$16.10

For Shop B you must  first divide

70 divided by 5 = 14 packs of pens in total, divide 14 by 2 because half of the packs will be half off.

so, 7x1.60

=$11.20- then divide 1.60 by 2 = $0.80,

then multiply by 7

=$5.60, then add the the two numbers for Shop B,

$11.20 + $5.60= 16.80

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you buy pens from Shop A you will spend $16.10, If your buying pens for Shop B you will spend $16.80

The difference from buying pens from Shop A and Shop B would be $0.70
