The first 5 terms of a sequence are shown below:
3, -2, -7, -12, -17
Which expression can be used to find the nth term?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the formula for the nth term ,

First , find the common difference or common ratio.

Common difference =

[tex]T_2-T_1 \\ - 2 - 3 \\ = - 5[/tex]

Common ratio =

[tex]T_2/T_1 \\ \frac{ - 2}{3} [/tex]

The common difference applies to the other given numbers for example :

[tex]T_3- T_2 = - 7 - ( - 2) \\ = - 7 + 2 = - 5[/tex]

this proves that it is an arithmetic sequence and the given formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

T_n =a(n-1)d

Where n = no of terms

a= first term

d= common difference

Dan drove 737 miles in 11 hours. At the same rate, how many miles would he drive in 13 hours?​

Answers

Answer:

871

Step-by-step explanation:

737 divided by 11 is 67, so thats how many miles he drives per hour

67 times 13 is 871

Answer: 871 Miles

Work: So, I did 737 miles divided by 11 hours to find out how many miles he had driven in 1 hour, which is 67. I did 67 x 2 which is 134, and added it to 737, which will give us how much he will drive in 13 hours. And the answer is 871.

Use the normal distribution to approximate the following binomial distribution. A recent survey indicated that 55% of the people in a certain community own a motorcycle. If 35 people from this community are chosen at random, what is the probability that fewer than 23 own a motorcycle?

Answers

Answer:

0.86 (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

n = 35

P = 55% = 0.55

Q = 1 - p = 0.45

Computation:

Standard deviation σ = √npq

Standard deviation σ = √(35)(.55)(.45)

Standard deviation σ = 2.9432

Mean μ = np = 35 x 0.55 = 19.25

p[(x-np)/ σ ]

P[z<1.04204]

= 0.86 (Approx)

Suppose that 4 ≤ f '(x) ≤ 5 for all values of x. What are the minimum and maximum possible values of f(4) − f(2)? ______≤ f(4) − f(2) ≤ ______

Answers

Answer:

[tex]8 \le f(4) - f(2) \le 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]4 \le f'(x) \le 5[/tex]

Required

Determine the minimum and maximum value of f(4) - f(2)

This question will be answered using the following mean value theorem.

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

In this case: [tex]b = 4[/tex] and [tex]a = 2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{f(4) - f(2)}{4 - 2}[/tex]

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{f(4) - f(2)}{2}[/tex]

Make f(4) - f(2), the subject:

[tex]f(4) -f(2) = 2 * f'(x)[/tex]

From the given range: [tex]4 \le f'(x) \le 5[/tex]

We have that; f'(x) is at minimum at 4

So, the minimum of f(4) - f(2) is:

[tex]f(4) -f(2) = 2 * 4[/tex]

[tex]f(4) -f(2) = 8[/tex]

We have that; f'(x) is at maximum at 5

So, the maximum of f(4) - f(2) is:

[tex]f(4) - f(2) = 2 * 5[/tex]

[tex]f(4) - f(2) = 10[/tex]

Hence, the minimum and maximum values can be expressed as:

[tex]8 \le f(4) - f(2) \le 10[/tex]

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, -2) and
(-3, 2)? Put your answer in fully reduced form.

Answers

Answer:

The equation of line is: [tex]\mathbf{4x-3y=-18}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, -2) and  (-3, 2)?

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We need to find slope and y-intercept.

Finding Slope

Slope can be found using formula: [tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We have [tex]x_1=-6,y_1=-2, x_2=-3, y_2=2[/tex]

Putting values and finding slope

[tex]Slope=\frac{2-(-2)}{-3-(-6)}\\Slope=\frac{2+2}{-3+6} \\Slope=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

So, we get slope: [tex]m=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Finding y-intercept

Using point (-6,-2) and slope [tex]m=\frac{4}{3}[/tex] we can find y-intercept

[tex]y=mx+b\\-2=\frac{4}{3}(-6)+b\\-2=4(-2)+b\\-2=-8+b\\b=-2+8\\b=6[/tex]

So, we get y-intercept b= 6

Equation of required line

The equation of required line having slope [tex]m=\frac{4}{3}[/tex] and y-intercept b = 6 is

[tex]y=mx+b\\y=\frac{4}{3}x+6[/tex]

Now transforming in fully reduced form:

[tex]y=\frac{4x+6*3}{3} \\y=\frac{4x+18}{3} \\3y=4x+18\\4x-3y=-18[/tex]

So, the equation of line is: [tex]\mathbf{4x-3y=-18}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

162/4.1= 39.51 round to 40

The solution of the equation after dividing would be 40.

Used the concept of the divide that states,

The division method is used to distribute a group of things into equal parts. The division is just the opposite of multiplications.

Given that,

162 divided by 4.1

Now divide the numbers,

162 divided by 4.1

It can be written as,

162 ÷ 4.1

162 / 4.1

1620/41

This gives,

39.512

Rounded to whole numbers,

40

Therefore, the solution is 40.
