If 24, x, and 6 form the first three terms of an arithmetic sequence
then which of the following is the value of x?
(1) 12
(3) 20
(2) 15
(4) 42

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  15

===============================================

Work Shown:

d = common difference

p = first term = 24

q = second term = a+d = 24+d

r = third term = q+d = 24+d+d = 24+2d = 6

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

Solve for d

24+2d = 6

2d = 6-24

2d = -18

d = -18/2

d = -9

We add -9 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 9 from each term to get the next term.

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

First term = 24

Second term = 24-9 = 15

Third term = 15-9 = 6

We get the sequence 24, 15, 6

Make them into common denominators. To do so, multiply by the LCM of the denominators. The LCM of the denominators is (x-4)(2x). Thus, we multiply 2x to the first term and (x-4) to the second:

[tex](\frac{2x}{2x}) \frac{3x}{x-4}+(\frac{x-4}{x-4}) \frac{x-3}{2x}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\frac{6x^2}{2x(x-4)}+\frac{x^2-7x+12}{2x(x-4)} \\=\frac{7x^2-7x+12}{2x(x-4)}[/tex]

And this cannot be simplified further (you can also distribute the denominator if preferred).

probability = favourable outcomes/total outcomes

you need 1 banana, out of 4 and there are total of 6 items so probability will be 4/6

when you take out 1 banana, there are 3 banana left and total of 5 items

so probability of this action will be 3/5

now, next action is taking out another banana.

this is NOT an independent event.

so by we will multiply the probabilities of these events according to rule of products.

What is a16 of the sequence 2,11,20

Answers

Answer:

137

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence with first term (a₁) being 2 and common difference (d) being 11 - 2 = 9.

Explicit formula: aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1) * d so our formula is:

aₙ = 2 + (n - 1) * 9

= 2 + 9n - 9

= 9n - 7

a₁₆ = 9(16) - 7 = 137

72.3 + (-39.1)


Rewrite the expression by breaking up each of the place values. In this case, the place values are tens, ones, and tenths.

Answers

Answer:

72.3 - 39.1 = 4tens - 7ones + 2tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the expression 72.3 + (-39.1)

opening the parenthesis:

= 72.3 + (-39.1)

= 72.3 - 39.1

Breaking the decimal values into place values

72.3 = 7tens + 2units + 3tenth

72.3 = 7(10)+2(1)+3(1/10)

72.3 =70+2+0.3

Similarly for 39.1

39.1 = 3tens + 9units + 1tenth

39.1 = 3(10)+9(1)+1(1/10)

39.1 =30+9+0.1

72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - (30+9+0.1)

72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - 30-9-0.1

72.3 - 39.1  = 70-30+2-9+0.3-0.1

72.3 - 39.1 = 40 - 7 +0.2

72.3 - 39.1 = 4tens - 7ones + 2tenth

Patrick raced round a 440 metre circular track and stopped suddenly after 900 metres . How far was she from the starting point at the 900 metre mark ? Solve

Answers

Answer:

20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The track is circular so it means that after Patrick raced the entire track he is back at the starting point. In other words, every 440 meters he is back to the beginning.

So we would have that, if he races round the track twice, he would run 440(2) = 880 meters and he would be back at the starting point.

The problem asks us how far is he from the starting point at the 900 meter mark. If at 880 meters he is at the starting point, then at 900 meters he would be [tex]900-880=20[/tex] meters from the starting point.

An important factor in selling a residential property is the number of people who look through the home. A sample of 17 homes recently sold in the Buffalo, New York, area revealed the mean number looking through each home was 19 and the standard deviation of the sample was 4 people.
Develop a 98 percent confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Confidence interval for the population mean is between and ?

Answers

Answer:

Confidence interval for the population mean is between 15 homes and 19 homes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample (n) = 17 homes, mean (μ) = 19 homes, standard deviation (σ)= 4 people and confidence (C) = 98% = 0.98

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

α/2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01.

The z score of 0.01 (α/2) corresponds to the z score of 0.49 (0.5 - 0.01) which from the normal distribution table is 2.33

The margin of error (E) is:

[tex]E=z_{0.01}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =2.33*\frac{4}{\sqrt{19} }=2[/tex]

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 17 ± 2 = (15, 19)

Confidence interval for the population mean is between 15 homes and 19 homes

Suppose that four students, Stephanie, Charles, Tim, and Rachel, are all preparing to take standardized exam that contains three subjects, math, reading, and science. Four tutors are available to help the students prepare for the exam. Each tutor is able to help in any of the three subjects. How many different ways can the students, tutors, and subjects be uniquely combined?

Answers

Answer:

48 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the Fundamental Counting Principle technique.

Fundamental Counting Principle can be defined as the way by which we determine the possibility or the number of possible outcomes for an event.

If we have event X and event Y and event Z, then the number of possible outcomes = X × Y × Z

For the above question, we have 3 events

Event 1 : 4 students ( Stephanie, Charles, Tim, and Rachel)

Event 2: 3 subjects ( Math, Reading, And Science)

Event 3 : 4 tutors.

Therefore,the many different ways can the students, tutors, and subjects can be be uniquely combined is:

= 4 × 3 × 4

Answers

Answer:

a. $4,950

b. The question is asking us to calculate the simple interest that would be earned on the deposited amount for the given number of years at the given interest rate

c. Simple interest

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We want to calculate the amount of interest to be earned in six years

To calculate this, we use the formula for simple interest.

Mathematically;

Simple interest I = PRT/100

Where P is the principal which is the amount deposited = $15,000

R is the rate which is 5.5%

T is the time which is 6 years

Substituting these values in the simple interest formula, we have

I = (15,000 * 5.5 * 6)/100 = $4,950

b. The question is asking us to calculate the simple interest that would be earned on the deposited amount for the given number of years at the given interest rate

c. Simple interest

A travel agent is booking trips for tourists who travel from New York to Chicago. Tourists have three choices for how to travel from New York to Chicago. They can take an airplane for $350, a bus for $150, or a train for $225. Once they arrive in Chicago, they can travel by van to their hotel for $60 or take a cab for $40. If each option is equally likely to occur, what is the probability that a tourist will spend more than $300 on these 2 legs of the trip?

Answers

List all the different combinations with total cost:

Airplane  + van = 350 + 60 = $410

Airplane  + cab = 350 + 40 = $390

Bus + van = 150 + 60 = $210

Bus + cab = 150 + 40 = $190

Train + van = 225 + 60 = $285

Train + cab = 225 + 40 = $265

There are 6 different combinations.

There are 2 that are more than $300

The probability would be quantity higher than 300 / total combinations.

Probability = 2/6 = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle a tangent makes with a radius at the point of tangency is 90 deg.

There are three 90-deg angles in the quadrilateral, so the 4th angle must also measure 90 deg.

Answer: 90°

Based on the tangent theorem the measure of the circumscribed ∠X is: 90°.

What is the Tangent Theorem?

The tangent theorem states that an angle of 90 degrees is formed at the point of tangency where a tangent meets the radius of a circle.

YX and WX are tangents of the circle.

m∠Y = m∠W = 90°

Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°

m∠X = 360 - 90 - 90 - 90

m∠X = 90°

Therefore, based on the tangent theorem the measure of the circumscribed ∠X is: 90°.

State if the triangles are similar. If so, how do you know they are similar and complete the similarity statement. Triangle LKJ≈____

Answers

Answer: C) similar, SAS similarity, triangle LQR

==============================================

Explanation:

The vertical angles KLJ and QLR are congruent. This forms the "A" in "SAS". The angles in question are between the marked sides.

KL = 18 is twice that of QL = 9, or put another way, KL/QL = 18/9 = 2. The ratio of the sides is 2. Also, JL/RL = 16/8 = 2 is the same ratio. Because both pairs of sides have the same ratio, the sides are in proportion. This helps form the two "S" letters of "SAS".

The original triangle has LKJ mentioned at the top. Note the order as its important. We start with L and move to K, so LK is the first segment mentioned. LK = 18 pairs up with LQ = 9, meaning that LQ must be the first segment mentioned of the answer triangle. Therefore LQR is the correct letter sequence if we start with point L. Writing QLR is not correct because Q is the first letter here but Q does not pair up with L.

Answers

Answer:

300 minutes

2:00 p.m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Time taken to mark a script :

Mrs Kanja = 5mins

Miss Kanene = 4mins

Mrs Nyaga = 12 mins

Number of scripts = 160

Start time = 9:00 a.m

Rate at which each of them mark:

Mrs Kanja = t / 5

Miss Kanene = t/4

Mrs Nyaga = t/12

Combined rate :

t/5 + t/4 + t/12 = 160

(12t + 15t + 5t) / 60 = 160

32t / 60 = 160

32t = 160 * 60

32t = 9600

t = 9600 / 32

t = 300 minutes

300 minutes = 300/60 = 5hrs

9:00 a.m + 5 hours = 2:00 p.m

Price of 6kg rice = 75 x 6 = 450

Price of 2 packets oil = 125 x 2 = 250

Amount given to wife = 3300

Total = 450 + 250 + 3300 = 4000

Remaining amount = 4400 - 4000 = 400

Share of son and daughter = 400 ÷ 2 = 200
