Use sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms of the following sequence -4,-6,-8.....

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:Answer:

[tex]\sum\left {{7} \atop {1}} \right -n(3+n)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence -4,-6,-8..., in order to get sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms of the sequence, we need to first calculate the sum of the first seven terms of the sequence as shown;

The sum of an arithmetic series is expressed as [tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

n is the number of terms

a is the first term of the sequence

d is the common difference

Given parameters

n = 7, a = -4 and d = -6-(-4) = -8-(-6) = -2

Required

Sum of the first seven terms of the sequence

[tex]S_7 = \frac{7}{2}[2(-4)+(7-1)(-2)]\\\\S_7 = \frac{7}{2}[-8+(6)(-2)]\\\\S_7 = \frac{7}{2}[-8-12]\\\\\\S_7 = \frac{7}{2} * -20\\\\S_7 = -70[/tex]

The sum of the nth term of the sequence will be;

[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2(-4)+(n-1)(-2)]\\\\S_n = \frac{n}{2}[-8+(-2n+2)]\\\\S_n = \frac{n}{2}[-6-2n]\\\\S_n = \frac{-6n}{2} - \frac{2n^2}{2}\\S_n = -3n-n^2\\\\S_n = -n(3+n)[/tex]

The sigma notation will be expressed as [tex]\sum\left {{7} \atop {1}} \right -n(3+n)[/tex]. The limit ranges from 1 to 7 since we are to  find  the sum of the first seven terms of the series.

the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are noncollinear is

Answers

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since we are to find the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are non-collinear

Non collinear points are points that doesn't lie on the same straight line. From the diagram given, the two point that are non colliear are (QR, QS, QT and QW making 4 2random non collinear points. Hence out expected number of outcome is 4.

For the total possible outcome, we are to find the number of ways we can randomly select two points from the 5 points given and this can be done using the combination rule.

This can therefore be done in 5C2 number of ways.

5C2 = 5!/(5-2)!2!

5C2 = 5!/3!2!

5C2 = 5*4*3*2*1/3*2*2

5C2 = 5*2

5C2 = 10 different ways

Hence the total possible outcome is 10

Therefore, the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are noncollinear will be 4/10 = 2/5

90 POINTS! HELP ASAP! Using one of the figures below, explain a strategy for calculating the area of the irregular polygon.

Answers

Answer:

area of polygon = 88 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

lets make it simple, short and accurate.

area of polygon = total area - total area of triangles

total area = 11 * 12 = 132

triangle 1 = 1/2 * 5 * 5 = 12.5

triangle 2 = 1/2 * 3 * 6 = 9

triangle 3 = 1/2 * 3 * 8 = 12

triangle 4 = 1/2 * 3 * 7 = 10.5

total area of triangle = 12.5 + 9 + 12 + 10.5 = 44

area of polygon = 132 - 44 = 88 sq. units

Answer:

The area of the irregular polygon:

88 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The irregular polygon is insert in a rectangle

The strategy is:

1 - calculate the rectangle total area

2- calculate the area of each right triangle

3.- substracte the total area of the 4 right triangles from the area of the rectángule

then:

1.-

Ar = 12*11 = 132 units²

Ar = rectangle area

2.-

At₁ = (5*5)/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 units²

At₂ = (6*3)/2 = 18/2 = 9 units²

At₃ = (7*3)/2 = 21/2 = 10.5 units²

At₄ = (8*3)/2 = 24/2 = 12 units²

At total = 12.5 + 9 + 10.5 + 12 = 44 units²

At = right triangle areas

3.-

Ap = 132 - 44 = 88 units²

The specifications for the diameter of a molded part are 10 mm ± 0.5 mm. The actual average and standard deviation from 250 parts sampled is 10.1 mm and 0.1 mm, respectively. The process can be characterized as:

Answers

Answer: Capable

Step-by-step explanation: The capability of a process could be exaplained as a measure of the ability of a process to produce part within specified limits by making use of statistical measurement. In determining if a certain process is capable or not, the value of process capability (Cp) is measured, in most cases, a process is deemed capable by having a Cp value of 1.33 or higher.

Cp formula :

(Upper specification limit(USL) - Lower specification limit(LSL) ) / 6* standard deviations

Diameter = 10 mm ± 0.5 mm

Standard deviation = 0.1mm

USL = 10 + 0.5 = 10.5

LSL = 10 - 0.5 =. 9.5

Cp = (10.5 - 9.5) / 6*0.1

Cp = 1/0.6

Cp = 1.6666

Cp = 1.67

Hence, the process is capable

In exercises 22 24 , describe how the change affects the surface area of the right prism or right cylinder .

Answers

Answer:

  22. The surface area is 1/9 of its original value

  24. The surface area is 120 m^2 less than its original value.

Step-by-step explanation:

22. For similar figures, the surface area is proportional to the square of the linear dimension scale factor. Multiplying all linear dimensions by 1/3 will result in reducing the surface area to (1/3)^2 = 1/9 of its original value.

__

24. As above, the scaled base surface area will be (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of its original value. Since one dimension of the lateral area is multiplied by 4 and the other dimension is multiplied by 1/4, the net effect on that area is multiplication by (1/4)(4) = 1. That is, the lateral area will remain unchanged.

The overall surface area will be reduced by 15/16 of the area of the bases. The area of the bases is (2)(1/2)(8 m)(16 m) = 128 m^2. The changed figure will have a surface area that is 120 m^2 smaller.

11 Points Estimate the average by first rounding to the nearest 1,000: 1,000 2,300 2,600

Answers

Answer:

Average = 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers are:

1,000 2,300 2,600

To find:

First round off the numbers to nearest 1000 and then find Average.

Solution:

1000 is already in thousands so no need to round off.

To round off a number to nearest thousand, we need check the digit on hundred's place.

If the hundred's digit is greater than 5, we increase the thousand's digit by 1 and make the hundred's digit as 0.If the hundred's digit is lesser than 5, the thousand's digit remains the same and we make the hundred's digit as 0.

So, 2300 will be rounded off as 2000.

and 2600 will be rounded off as 3000.

Now, the numbers whose average is to be calculated are 1000, 2000, 3000.

Formula for average is given as:

[tex]Average = \dfrac{\text{Sum of all numbers}}{\text{Count of numbers}}[/tex]

applying the formula:

[tex]Average = \dfrac{1000+2000+3000}{3}\\\Rightarrow Average = \dfrac{6000}{3}\\\Rightarrow \bold{Average = 2000}[/tex]

So, the average after rounding off to nearest 1000 is 2000.

How many times larger is the value of
86,000,000 than 8,600?

Answers

Answer:

a 1000 times// just divide them

Answer:

10,000 times Larger

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the multiple larger for 86,000,000 than 8,600, we simply will use the division operation and the result will be the multiple.

86,000,000 / 8,600 = 10,000

Hence, the number 86,000,000, is 10,000 times larger than 8,600.

Another method is simply to look at the additional zeroes that 86,000,000 has in comparison to 8,600.  Since we can see that 86 is the only non-zero digit within the two numbers, we can use the properties of the decimal system to compare.  Note that 86,000,000 has 6 zeroes, while 8,600 has two zeros.  This means that we will need 4 zeroes as part of our tens multiple, so we can say that 10,000 is the multiple.  Once again, we see that 86,000,000 is 10,000 times larger than 8,600.

Total cost to build

Answers

Answer:

$635

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x7 birdhouses=$35want

So, $35+$600=$635 total!

I hope this helps you!

Multiplication is the process of multiplying. The cost of building 7 birdhouses will be $635.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.

The cost of the birdhouse is the sum of the fixed cost, which is the setup cost of the business of $600, and the variable cost is the cost that is needed to make a single house, therefore, $5.

Now, the total cost of making n number of houses will be,

Cost of making n house = Fixed cost + variable cost

                                        = $600 + $5(n)

Further, the table can be filled using the above formula by substituting the value of n for the number of houses. Therefore,

Number of bird houses     Total cost to build

       1                                     $600+$5(1) = $605

       2                                    $600+$5(2) = $610

       3                                    $600+$5(3) = $615

       4                                    $600+$5(4) = $620

       5                                    $600+$5(5) = $625

       6                                    $600+$5(6) = $630

       7                                    $600+$5(7) = $635

Hence, the cost of building 7 birdhouses will be $635.

sin theta upon 1 + cos theta + 1 + cos theta upon sin theta is equals to 2 cosec theta prove ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll use x  instead of theta.

So we have:

sin x / ( 1 + cos x) + (1 +cos x) / sinx

The LCM is sin x(1 + cos x) so we have

sin^2 x + (1 + cos x)^2 /  sin x(1 + cos x)

= sin^2 x + cos^2x + 2 cos x + 1 /  sin x(1 + cos x)

Now sin^2x + cos^2x = 1 so:

= 2 + 2 cos x /  sin x(1 + cos x)

= 2(1+ cos x) /  sin x(1 + cos x)

The 1 + cos x is common so we have:

2 / sin x

= 2 cosec x.
