Consider the sequence:
1000,-500,250,-125
What is the 7th number in the sequence? Write your answer as a fraction
Answer:
The 7th number in the sequence is [tex]\frac{125}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric sequence:
In a geometric sequence, the quotient between consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio.
The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:
[tex]A_n = A(0)r^{n-1}[/tex]
In which A(0) is the first term and r is the common ratio.
1000,-500,250,-125
This means that [tex]A(0) = 1000, r = -\frac{500}{1000} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
So
[tex]A_n = A(0)r^{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]A_n = 1000(-\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}[/tex]
What is the 7th number in the sequence?
This is [tex]A_7[/tex]. So
[tex]A_7 = 1000(-\frac{1}{2})^{7-1} = \frac{1000}{64} = \frac{125}{8}[/tex]
The 7th number in the sequence is [tex]\frac{125}{8}[/tex]
Sara has 5 blue bows and 7 white bows in a bag for her fellow cheerleaders to wear in their hair for each game. The bows are
pulled out randomly by the team. Determine if the following is an
Independent or a Dependent event. Then find the probability.
1.) Sara pulls out a blue bow and her teammate pulls out a white bow.
Answer: The events are dependent
The probability is 35/132
==============================================================
Explanation:
If the first bow Sara pulls out isn't put back, then the two events are dependent. This is because the probability of pulling a white bow changes depending on what Sara pulls out.
If Sara pulls out a blue bow, then the teammate's chances of pulling a white bow are 7/11 because there are 7 white bows out of 4+7 = 11 left over (or you could compute 5+7-1 = 11).Or if Sara pulls out a white bow, then the chances of a teammate pulling out another white bow is 6/11 instead of 7/11. The probability has changed.So again, it all depends on what Sara does because she goes first. This is of course not the case if Sara puts the bow back. If she put it back, then the chances of the teammate pulling the white bow is 7/12
---------
To find the overall probability of Sara selecting a blue bow and not putting it back, followed by a teammate getting a white bow, we multiply the fractions 5/12 and 7/11 to get (5/12)*(7/11) = 35/132

true or false m angle 5 is greater than m angle 8
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see that Angle 5 is slightly greater than 90°, so it is obtuse
Angle 8 is less than 90°, and is acute
Since obtuse angles are larger than acute angles, Angle 5 is greater than Angle 8.

Teresa received a $90 gift card for a coffee store. she used it in buying some coffee that cost her $8.21 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $65.37 left on her card. how many pounds of coffee did she buy?
Answer:
3 Pounds of Coffee
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how much she spent on the pounds of coffee, you would have to takeaway $65.37 away from the total of $90 which will give you $24.63, which is how much she has spent on the coffee. To find out how many pounds of coffee she bought, you would have to divide $24.63 by $8.21 giving you 3, which is how many pounds of coffee Teresa bought.

graph the line with intercept 6 and slope
[tex] - \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
Given:
The y-intercept of a line = 6
The slope of the line = [tex]-\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
To find:
The graph of the given line.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a line is:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Putting [tex]m=-\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex] and [tex]b=6[/tex] in the above equation, we get
[tex]y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+6[/tex]
At [tex]x=0[/tex],
[tex]y=-\dfrac{3}{2}(0)+6[/tex]
[tex]y=0+6[/tex]
[tex]y=6[/tex]
At [tex]x=2[/tex],
[tex]y=-\dfrac{3}{2}(2)+6[/tex]
[tex]y=-3+6[/tex]
[tex]y=3[/tex]

Nine employees If an electronic company retired last year
The retirement ages are listed below
56, 65, 62, 53, 68, 58, 65, 52, 56
The mean retirement age can be calculated as follows

AD=7, BD=3, DE=6. Find BC
Answer:
the answer to this is 10 i think sorry if it is wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar and the measure of BC = 60/7 units
What are similar triangles?If two triangles' corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional, they are said to be similar triangles. In other words, similar triangles have the same shape but may or may not be the same size. The triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are also of identical length.
Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio. The ratio of area of similar triangles is the same as the ratio of the square of any pair of their corresponding sides
Given data ,
Let the first triangle be ΔABC
Let the second triangle be ΔADE
Now , ΔABC and ΔADE are similar triangles
where corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio
So , AD / AB = DE / BC
On simplifying , we get
7 / 10 = 6 / BC
Multiply by BC on both sides , we get
BC ( 7/10 ) = 6
Multiply by 10 on both sides , we get
7BC = 60
Divide by 7 on both sides , we get
BC = 60/7
Hence , the measure of BC = 60/7 units

Construct the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of students at the college who have completed their required English 101 course. Enter your answers as decimals (not percents) accurate to three decimal places. The Confidence Interval is
Answer:
The confidence interval has an lower limit of [tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex] and an upper limit of [tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex], in which [tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion and [tex]n[/tex] is the size of the sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
90% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
The confidence interval has an lower limit of [tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex] and an upper limit of [tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex], in which [tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion and [tex]n[/tex] is the size of the sample.
a map shows that the top of a hill is 200m above sea level and the bottom of a lagoon is 15m below sea level. express these distancesat a distances from sea level and what is difference between the two heights
Answer:
200 m
-15 m
215 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Top of hill = 200 m above sea level ; height of hill top is positive 200m = 200 m
Bottom of lagoon = 15m *below sea level ; bottom of lagoon = - 15m
We have related the height of the two points with respect to sea level ; points above sea level are represented as positive ; points below are represented as negative.
Difference between the two heights :
Hill top - bottom of lagoon :
200 m - (-15) m
200 m + 15 m
215 m
Difference between the heights is 215 m

Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (2x^2 + 1)
( f(3 + h) - f(3) ) / h
f(3 + h) = 2(3 + h)^2 + 1)
f(3 + h) = 2(9 + 6h + h^2) + 1
f(3 + h) = 18 + 12h + 2h^2 + 1
f(3 + h) = 19 + 12h +2h^2
f(3) = 2*(3^2) + 1
f(3) = 2(9) + 1
f(3) = 19
f(3 + h) - f(3) = 2h + 2h^2 The 19s cancel out
f(3 + h) - f(3) = 2h(1 + h^2)
( f(3 + h) + f(3) ) / h = 2h ( 1 + h^2) / h = 2 ( 1 + h^2)

The Coffee Counter charges $8.00 per pound for Kenyan French Roast coffee and $10.00 per pound for Sumatran coffee. How much of each type should be used to make an 18 pound blend that sells for $9.00 per pound?
The Coffee Counter should mix ___ pounds of Kenyan Roast coffee and ___ pounds of Sumatran coffee to make 18 pounds of a blend that sells for $9.00 per pound.
Answer:
x = 9
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Let :
Kenyan French roast coffee = x
Cost per x = $8
Sumatran Coffee = y
Cost per y = $10
x + y = 18 - - - - (1)
8x + 10y = 9 * 18 ;
8x + 10y = 162 - - - - (2)
From (1):
x = 18 - y
Put x = 18 - y in (2)
8(18 - y) + 10y = 162
144 - 8y + 10y = 162
2y = 162 - 144
2y = 18
y = 9
x = 18 - y
x = 18 - 9
x = 9

What is the probability that Omar will get to drive the car after the first roll?
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
For Omar to drive, he has to get a six when a die is rolled ;
The probability that Omar will get to drive his car is :
Required outcome = (6) = 1
Total possible outcomes = (1,2,3,4,5,6)
P(rolling a 6) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
P(rolling a 6) = 1/6
Probability of Omar driving his car is 1/6
