The third term of an arithmetic sequence is $5$ and the eighth term is $-20$. What is the product of the 4th and 2015th terms?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the first term of this sequence and d the difference between two consecutive terms.

Following the arithmetic sequence formula,

The equation for the 3rd term:

n + 2d = 5

and the equation for the 8th term:

n + 7d = -20

We should start by finding d by subtracting the second equation from the first.

n + 2d - (n + 7d) = 5 - (-20)

-5d = 25

d = -5

We can then find the 1st term by plugging this number into the first equation.

n + 2 * -5 = 5

n - 10 = 5

n = 15

Now, using once again the arithmetic sequence formula, find the equation for the fourth term.

n + (4 - 1)*d

Plug in the values we found previously and solve:

15 + (4 - 1)*-5

= 15 + 3*-5

= 15 + (-15)

= 0

The 4th term is 0.

Remember that this problem is asking for the product of the 4th term and the 2015th term, and anything times zero equals to zero, so we don't even need to solve for the 2015th term!

Therefore, the answer to this problem is 0.

Answer 2

The product of the 4th and 2015th terms is 0 if the third term of an arithmetic sequence is 5 and the eighth term is -20.

What is a sequence?

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

We have:

The third term of an arithmetic sequence is 5 and the eighth term is -20

a + 2d = 5

a + 7d = -20

After solving the equations:

a = 15

d = -5

4th term = 15 + 3(-5) = 0

2015th term = 15 + 2014(-5) = -10055

The product of the 4th and 2015th terms = 0(-10055) = 0

Thus, the product of the 4th and 2015th terms is 0 if the third term of an arithmetic sequence is 5 and the eighth term is -20.

Which is the minimum or maximum value of the given function?
dndnsn

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the function is not given. So, I will make an assumption.

A quadratic function is represented as:

[tex]f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

If [tex]a > 0[/tex], then the function has a minimum x value

E.g. [tex]f(x) = 4x^2 - 5x + 8[/tex] ------ [tex]4 > 0[/tex]

Else, then the function has a maximum x value

E.g. [tex]f(x)= -4x^2 -5x + 8[/tex] ---- [tex]-4 < 0[/tex]

The maximum or minimum x value is calculated using:

[tex]x = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

For instance, the maximum of [tex]f(x)= -4x^2 -5x + 8[/tex] is:

[tex]x = -\frac{-5}{2*-4}[/tex]

[tex]x = -\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

So, the maximum of the function is:

[tex]f(x)= -4x^2 -5x + 8[/tex]

[tex]f(-\frac{5}{8}) = -4 * (-\frac{5}{8})^2 - 5 *(-\frac{5}{8}) +8[/tex]

[tex]f(-\frac{5}{8}) = 9.5625[/tex]

The line l with equation x - 2y + 2 = 0 crosses the y-axis at the point P. The line
m with equation 3x + y - 15 = 0 crosses the y-axis at the point Q and intersects
l at the point R. Find the area of triangle PQR.​

Answers

Answer:

Area of ΔPQR is 28 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

-P is the point with coordinates ( 0, y-intercept for line x-2y+2 =0)

-rearrange the equation in the point-slope form y=mx+b  to find the y coordinate of the point P( 0, b)

x-2y+2 = 0, subtract x and 2 from both sides

-2y = -x-2, divide by -2 both sides

y= (1/2)x +1 so b=1 and P (0, 1)

-Q  is the point with coordinates ( 0, y-intercept for line 3x+y -15 =0)

-rearrange the equation in the point-slope form y=mx+b  to find the y coordinate of the point Q( 0, b)

3x +y -15 =0, subtract 3x and add 15 to both sides

y= -3x +15 so b=15 and Q(0,15)

-R is the intersection of the two lines so is the solution of the system of equations y= (1/2)x +1 and y= -3x +15

(1/2)x +1 =  -3x +15, add 3x and subtract1

(1/2) x+3x = 15-1, combine like terms

(7/2)x = 14 , multiply both sides by 2

7x = 28, divide both sides by 7

x= 4

y= (1/2)x +1 = (4/2) +1 =3 so R(4,3)

- the area of ΔPQR is (base *height)/2

base= 15-1= 14

height = 4

A= (14*4)/2 = 14*2 = 28

If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied.

Answers

Answer:

The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is not 1, which means that a probability distribution is not given.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given these following probabilities:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.6591[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.2872[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.0503[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.0044[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.0015[/tex]

Determine whether a probability distribution is given.

We have to see if the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is 1. So

[tex]0.6591 + 0.2872 + 0.0503 + 0.0044 + 0.0015 = 1.0025[/tex]

The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is not 1, which means that a probability distribution is not given.

A trough has ends shaped like isosceles triangles, with width 2 m and height 5 m, and the trough is 18 m long. Water is being pumped into the trough at a rate of 8 m3/min. At what rate (in m/min) does the height of the water change when the water is 2 m deep

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   5/9 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth of the water is 2/5 of the depth of the trough, so the width of the surface will be 2/5 of the width of the trough:

  2/5 × 2 m = 4/5 m

Then the surface area of the water is ...

  A = LW = (18 m)(4/5 m) = 14.4 m²

The rate of change of height multiplied by the area gives the rate of change of volume:

  8 m³/min = (14.4 m²)(h')

  h' = (8 m³/min)/(14.4 m²) = 5/9 m/min

Eleven seconds after a deep sea diver jumps into the ocean he is 69 feet below sea level and 28 seconds later, he is195 feet below sea level. If he is descending under water at a constant rate, how many feet below sea level will hebe 1.5 minutes after his initial descent

Answers

Answer: [tex]405.7\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

After 11 sec, diver is 69 feet below sea level

after 28 s , it is 195 feet

rate of traveling

[tex]\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{195-69}{28}\\\\\Rightarrow u=4.53\ ft/s[/tex]

after 1.5 minutes, that is 90 s, diver must have traveled

[tex]\Rightarrow d=4.53\times 90\\\Rightarrow d=407.7\ ft[/tex]

Answer:

7299 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At 11 second the depth is 69 feet

At 28 seconds the depth is 195 feet  

Let the initial velocity at the time t = 0 is u.

Use second equation of motion

[tex]s = u t +0.5 at^2\\\\69 =11 u + 0.5 a\times 11\times 11\\\\69 = 11 u + 60.5 a..... (1)\\\\195 = u (28 -11) +0.5 a\times (28-11)^2\\\\195 = 17 u + 144.5 a .....(2)[/tex]

By soling (1) and (2)

a = 1.73 m/s^2, u = 3.25 m/s

So, the distance in 1.5 minutes is

h = 3.25 x 1.5 x 60 + 0.5 x 1.73 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 60 x 60

h = 292.5 + 7006.5 = 7299 ft

A farmer wants to build a rectangular pen and then divide it with two interior fences. The total area inside of the pen will be 264 square meters. The exterior fencing costs $15.60 per meter and the interior fencing costs $13.00 per meter. Find the dimensions of the pen that will minimize the cost.

Answers

Answer:

x = 12 m and y = 22 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area = 264 [tex]m^2[/tex]

∴ xy = 264

 [tex]$y=\frac{264}{x}$[/tex]     ............(1)

Cost function = [tex]C(x,y) = 2 x (15.60) + 2y(15.60) + 2x(13)[/tex]

                          [tex]C(x,y) = 57.2 x + 31.2y[/tex]

Therefore, using (1),

[tex]$C(x) = 57.2x+31.2 \left(\frac{264}{x} \right)$[/tex]

[tex]$C(x) = 57.2x+\frac{8236.8}{x} \right)$[/tex]

So, cost C(x) minimum where C'(x) = 0

[tex]$C'(x) = 57.2 - \frac{8236.8}{x^2}=0$[/tex]

[tex]$x^2=\frac{8236.8}{57.2}$[/tex]

[tex]$x^2=144$[/tex]

[tex]$x=12$[/tex] m

Therefore, [tex]$y=\frac{264}{x}$[/tex]

                      [tex]$=\frac{264}{12}$[/tex]

                      = 22 m

So the dimensions are  x = 12 m and y = 22 m.

Count the number of times you have to move the decimal point to the right until it is to the right of the 1st nonzero number.

a) You have to move the decimal point 11 times until it gets to the right of the 1st nonzero number, which is 7. You then rewrite this number as

[tex]7.2×10^{-11}[/tex]

The exponent of 10 is a negative number because you moved the decimal point to the right.
