Given:
The geometric sequence is:
[tex]n[/tex] [tex]a_n[/tex]
1 -4
2 20
3 -100
To find:
The explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.
Solution:
The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:
[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex] ...(i)
Where, a is the first term, r is the common ratio and [tex]n\geq 1[/tex].
In the given sequence the first term is -4 and the second term is 20, so the common ratio is:
[tex]r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}[/tex]
[tex]r=\dfrac{20}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]r=-5[/tex]
Putting [tex]a=-4,r=-5[/tex] in (i), we get
[tex]a_n=-4(-5)^{n-1}[/tex] where [tex]n\geq 1[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is B.

The function f(x)=log4x is dilated to become g(x)=f(13x).
What is the effect on f(x)?
Answer:
f(x) is compressed horizontally
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = \log(4x)[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = f(13x)[/tex]
Required
The effect on f(x)
[tex]g(x) = f(13x)[/tex] implies that f(x) is horizontally compressed by 13.
So, we have:
[tex]f(13) = \log(4 * 13x)[/tex]
[tex]f(13) = \log(52x)[/tex]
So:
[tex]g(13) = \log(52x)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
During data collection for a particular study, reaching all target Population might seem illogical or impossible. Therefore, a subset of the population of interest is chosen and the outcome used to infer about the population. This procedure could be referred to a a SURVEY. In the scenario samples drawn from the population of interest is used to make inference on population. During a survey, selected data ponuts or subjects must be drawn at random in other to ensure that it is representative of the larger population data.
What is the true solution to the equation below? 2 lne^ln2x-lne^ln10x=ln30
It looks like the equation is
[tex]2\ln\left(e^{\ln(2x)}\right)-\ln\left(e^{\ln(10x)}\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
Right away, we notice that any solution to this equation must be positive, so x > 0.
For any base b, we have [tex]b^{\log_b(a)}=a[/tex], so we can simplify this to
[tex]2\ln(2x)-\ln\left(10x\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
Next, [tex]\ln(a^b)=b\ln(a)[/tex], so that
[tex]\ln(2x)^2-\ln\left(10x\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
[tex]\ln\left(4x^2\right)-\ln\left(10x\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
Next, [tex]\ln\left(\frac ab\right)=\ln(a)-\ln(b)[/tex], so that
[tex]\ln\left(\dfrac{4x^2}{10x}\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
For x ≠ 0, we have [tex]\frac xx=1[/tex], so that
[tex]\ln\left(\dfrac{2x}5\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
Take the antilogarithm of both sides:
[tex]e^{\ln\left((2x)/5\right)} = e^{\ln(30)}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{2x}5 = 30[/tex]
Solve for x :

The time for a visitor to read health instructions on a Web site is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Suppose 64 visitors independently view the site. Determine the following: a. The expected value and the variance of the mean time of the visitors. b. The probability that the mean time of the visitors is within 15 seconds of 10 minutes c. The value exceeded by the mean time of the visitors with probability 0.01.
Answer:
a) The mean is 10 and the variance is 0.0625.
b) 0.6826 = 68.26% probability that the mean time of the visitors is within 15 seconds of 10 minutes.
c) 10.58 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Normally distributed with a mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes.
This means that [tex]\mu = 10, \sigma = 2[/tex]
Suppose 64 visitors independently view the site.
This means that [tex]n = 64, = \frac{2}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.25[/tex]
a. The expected value and the variance of the mean time of the visitors.
Using the Central Limit Theorem, mean of 10 and variance of (0.25)^2 = 0.0625.
b. The probability that the mean time of the visitors is within 15 seconds of 10 minutes.
15 seconds = 15/60 = 0.25 minutes, so between 9.75 and 10.25 seconds, which is the p-value of Z when X = 10.25 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 9.75.
X = 10.25
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{10.25 - 10}{0.25}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8413.
X = 9.75
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{9.75 - 10}{0.25}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1587.
0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826.
0.6826 = 68.26% probability that the mean time of the visitors is within 15 seconds of 10 minutes.
c. The value exceeded by the mean time of the visitors with probability 0.01.
The 100 - 1 = 99th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.99, so X when Z = 2.327.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]2.327 = \frac{X - 10}{0.25}[/tex]
[tex]X - 10 = 2.327*0.25[/tex]
[tex]X = 10.58[/tex]
So 10.58 minutes.

Two sides of a triangle have the same length. The third side measures 5 m less than twice the common length. The perimeter of the triangle is 23 m. What are the lengths of the three sides?
What is the length of the two sides that have the same length?
Answer:
Length of all 3 sides: 7, 7, and 9
Length of the two sides that have the same length: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two sides with equal lengths have a length of [tex]x[/tex]. We can write the third side as [tex]2x-5[/tex].
The perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of all its sides. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 23 meters, we have the following equation:
[tex]x+x+2x-5=23[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]4x-5=23[/tex]
Add 5 to both sides:
[tex]4x=28[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4:
[tex]x=\frac{28}{4}=\boxed{7}[/tex]
Therefore, the three sides of the triangle are 7, 7, and 9 and the length of the two sides that have the same length is 7.

The scores on a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 80 and standard
deviation of 5. What test score is 0.9 standard deviations above the mean?
Answer:
84.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Mean μ = 80
Standard deviation, σ = 5
Z = number of standard deviations from the mean, Z = 0.9
Teat score, x
Using the Zscore formula :
Zscore = (x - μ) / σ
Plugging in our values :
0.9 = (x - 80) / 5
Cross multiply
0.9 * 5 = x - 80
4.5 = x - 80
4.5 + 80 = x
x = 84.5
Test score = 84.5
Hari earns Rs 4300 per month. He spends 80% from his income. How much amount does he save in a year?
Answer:
Hari saves $ 10,320 in a year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Hari earns $ 4300 per month, and he spends 80% from his income, to determine how much amount does he save in a year, the following calculation must be performed:
100 - 80 = 20
4300 x 0.20 x 12 = X
860 x 12 = X
10320 = X
Therefore, Hari saves $ 10,320 in a year.
Write the point-slope form of an equation of the line through the points (-2, 6) and (3,-2).
Answer:
[tex]y-6=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x+2)[/tex]
OR
[tex]y+2=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-3)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Point-slope form: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex] where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is a point and [tex]m[/tex] is the slope
1) Determine the slope
[tex]m=\frac{\displaystyle y_2-y_1}{\displaystyle x_2-x_2}[/tex] where two given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]
Plug in the given points (-2, 6) and (3,-2):
[tex]m=\frac{\displaystyle -2-6}{\displaystyle 3-(-2)}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle -8}{\displaystyle 3+2}\\\\m=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of the line is [tex]-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}[/tex]. Plug this into [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]:
[tex]y-y_1=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-x_1)[/tex]
2) Plug in a point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex]
[tex]y-y_1=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-x_1)[/tex]
We're given two points, (-2, 6) and (3,-2), so there are two ways we can write this equation:
[tex]y-6=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-(-2))\\\\y-6=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x+2)[/tex]
OR
[tex]y-(-2)=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-3)\\y+2=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-3)[/tex]
I hope this helps!

ex: 8*4=32 and 17*4=68
so we can assume that 15*4= 4x+12
60=4x+12
48=4x
x=12
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar so we can use ratios
4x+12 32
------- = ------------
15 8
Using cross products
(4x+12) *8 = 15 * 32
(4x+12) *8 = 480
Divide each side by 8
(4x+12) *8/8 = 480/8
4x+12 = 60
Subtract 12 from each side
4x+12 -12 = 60-12
4x = 48
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12

Identify the possible rational roots for the equation x^4-3x^2+6=0
Answer:
[tex]6, -6, 3, -3, 2, -2, 1, -1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
One is given the following equation, and the problem asks one to identify the rational roots of the equation:
[tex]x^4-3x^2+6=0[/tex]
The rational root theorem states that the list of positive and negative factors of the constant term over the factors of the coefficients of the term to the highest degree will yield a list of the rational roots of the equation. Use this theorem to generate a list of all possible ration roots of the equation.
[tex](+-)\frac{6,3,2,1}{1}[/tex]
Now rewrite this list in a numerical format:
[tex]6, -6, 3, -3, 2, -2, 1, -1[/tex]
This is the list of the possible rational roots. One has to synthetically divide each of these numbers by the given polynomial equation to find the actual rational roots. However, the problem only asks for the possible rational roots, not the actual rational roots, thus, this is not included.
