the terms in this sequence increase by the same amount each time. _19_ _ 34_ a) work out the missing terms.
Answer:
The sequence is 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the common difference (the difference between two consecutive terms) as d. We see that the second term is 19 and the 5th term is 34 and since 5 - 2 = 3, we add d 3 times to 19 to get 34 so therefore:
19 + 3d = 34
3d = 15
d = 5 so the first term is 19 - 5 = 14, the third would be 19 + 5 = 24, the fourth would be 24 + 5 = 29 and the sixth would be 34 + 5 = 39.
Write the equations, after translating the graph of y = |x+2|: one unit up,
Answer:
y = |x + 2| + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Parent Graph: f(x) = a|bx + c| + k
a is vertical stretch/shrink
b is horizontal stretch/shrink
c is horizontal movement left/right
k is vertical movement up/down
Since we are given an equation and we want to move it 1 unit up (vertical movement up), we only manipulate k:
y = |x + 2| + k
k = 1
y = |x + 2| + 1
Answer:
y = |x+2| + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation will be y = |x+2| + 1.
By translating the graph one unit up, the equation will simply change by adding +1 to the graph, outside of the absolute value part.
Translate this sentence into an equation. 43 is the sum of 11 and Carlos age. Use the variable c to represent Carlos age.
Answer:
c + 11 = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
C = Carlos age
11 = The number added
43 = The number added plus carlos' age
c +11 = 43
c = 43 - 11
c = 32
Carlos' age is 32 years.
Answer:
C+11=43
Step-by-step explanation:
C= Carlos age
11= added number
43= Carlos age +added number
C+11=43
C=43-11
C=32
Age of Carlos 32. :)
"Julien is trying to determine his variable type in order to select the proper statistical tests. He is measuring the height of a part. What type of variable is this"
Answer:
Quantitative
Step-by-step explanation: Quantitative or numerical variable are statistical or measured variables which involves numbers. Numerical variables allows for mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction and so on to be performed in them. Quantitative variables include height, age, weight, population and other measured variable with have numerical attributes. They can be measured on either ordinal, ratio or interval scales. Hence, since Julien is trying to determine height, the variable is a quantitative or numeric variable.

Varia is studying abroad in Europe. She is required pay $3,500 (in US dollars) per year to the university; however, she must pay in euros. How many euros can Varia expect to pay per month to the university?
Answer: 247.92 euros
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Varia is required pay $3,500 (in US dollars) per year to the university.
So, [tex]$3500\div 12 \approx\$291.67[/tex]
i.e. She will pay $ 291.67 per month.
Recent currency value: 1 US dollar = 0.85 euro
∴ $291.67 = ( 0.85 ×291.67) euros
= 247.92 euros [Round to the nearest cent]
∴ She can expect 247.92 euros to pay per month to the university.
A ladder 10 ft long leans against a vertical wall. If the lower end is being moved away from the wall at the rate of 6 ft/sec, how fast is the height of the top changing (this will be a negative rate) when the lower end is 6 feet from the wall?
Answer:
-4.5ft per sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that vertical wall has a distance of y and the horizontal floor is x (6 ft).
This forms a triangle with the ladder as the hypothenus of length 10ft
We have dy/dt = 6ft per sec
According to Pythagoras law the relationship between x and y is
(x^2) + (y^2) = (hypothenus ^2) = 10^2
When we differentiate both sides of the equation
2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 0
dy/dt = (x/y) * (dx/dt)
y= √(10^2) - (6^2) = 8ft
So dy/dt = (6/8)* (6/1)= -4.5 ft per sec
It is a negative rate
During April of 2013, Gallup randomly surveyed 500 adults in the US, and 47% said that they were happy, and without a lot of stress." Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. adults who considered themselves happy at that time. 1 How many successes and failures are there in the sample? Are the criteria for approximate normality satisfied for a confidence interval?
A What is the sample proportion?
B compute the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval.
C Interpret the margin of error you calculated in Question 1
C. Give the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion (p), of U.S. adults who considered themselves happy in April, 2013.
D Give an interpretation of this interval.
E. Based on this interval, is it reasonably likely that a majority of U.S. adults were happy at that time?
H If someone claimed that only about 1/3 of U.S. adults were happy, would our result support this?
Answer:
number of successes
[tex]k = 235[/tex]
number of failure
[tex]y = 265[/tex]
The criteria are met
A
The sample proportion is [tex]\r p = 0.47[/tex]
B
[tex]E =4.4 \%[/tex]
C
What this mean is that for N number of times the survey is carried out that the which sample proportion obtain will differ from the true population proportion will not more than 4.4%
Ci
[tex]r = 0.514 = 51.4 \%[/tex]
[tex]v = 0.426 = 42.6 \%[/tex]
D
This 95% confidence interval mean that the the chance of the true population proportion of those that are happy to be exist within the upper and the lower limit is 95%
E
Given that 50% of the population proportion lie with the 95% confidence interval the it correct to say that it is reasonably likely that a majority of U.S. adults were happy at that time
F
Yes our result would support the claim because
[tex]\frac{1}{3 } \ of N < \frac{1}{2} (50\%) \ of \ N , \ Where\ N \ is \ the \ population\ size[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is [tex]n = 500[/tex]
The sample proportion is [tex]\r p = 0.47[/tex]
Generally the number of successes is mathematical represented as
[tex]k = n * \r p[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]k = 500 * 0.47[/tex]
[tex]k = 235[/tex]
Generally the number of failure is mathematical represented as
[tex]y = n * (1 -\r p )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]y = 500 * (1 - 0.47 )[/tex]
[tex]y = 265[/tex]
for approximate normality for a confidence interval criteria to be satisfied
[tex]np > 5 \ and \ n(1- p ) \ >5[/tex]
Given that the above is true for this survey then we can say that the criteria are met
Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of confidence is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha =0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p}{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.47 (1- 0.47}{500} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.044[/tex]
=> [tex]E =4.4 \%[/tex]
What this mean is that for N number of times the survey is carried out that the proportion obtain will differ from the true population proportion of those that are happy by more than 4.4%
The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex]\r p - E < p < \r p + E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]0.47 - 0.044 < p < 0.47 + 0.044[/tex]
[tex]0.426 < p < 0.514[/tex]
The upper limit of the 95% confidence interval is [tex]r = 0.514 = 51.4 \%[/tex]
The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is [tex]v = 0.426 = 42.6 \%[/tex]
This 95% confidence interval mean that the the chance of the true population proportion of those that are happy to be exist within the upper and the lower limit is 95%
Given that 50% of the population proportion lie with the 95% confidence interval the it correct to say that it is reasonably likely that a majority of U.S. adults were happy at that time
Yes our result would support the claim because
[tex]\frac{1}{3 } < \frac{1}{2} (50\%)[/tex]
BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!!! and 15 points solve for z -cz + 6z = tz + 83
Answer:
z = 83/( -c+6-t)
Step-by-step explanation:
-cz + 6z = tz + 83
Subtract tz from each side
-cz + 6z -tz= tz-tz + 83
-cz + 6z - tz = 83
Factor out z
z( -c+6-t) = 83
Divide each side by ( -c+6-t)
z( -c+6-t)/( -c+6-t) = 83/( -c+6-t)
z = 83/( -c+6-t)

nd the measure of angle m
2. Find the length of sie
m
18.2m
61°
15:1m
х
105mm
Answer:
1). m° = 56.1°
2). X= 91.8 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
For angle m°
Using the sine rule
15.1/sin m= 18.2/sin 90
But Sin 90= 1
15.1/sin m= 18.2
15.1= 18.2*sin m
Sin m = 15.1/18.2
Sin m=0.8297
m= sin^-1(0.8297)
m= 56.06°
m° = 56.1°
For length of side x
Using sine rule
X/sin 61= 105/sin 90
But sin 90= 1
X/sin 61= 105
X = sin61 *105
X=0.8746*105
X= 91.833 mm
X= 91.8 mm

Step-by-step explanation:
A manager wants to determine an appropriate learning percentage for processing insurance claims for storm damage. Toward that end, times have been recorded for completion of each of the first six repetitions:
Repetition 1 2 3 4 5 6
Time (minutes) 46 39 35 33 32 30
a. Determine the approximate learning percentage. (Round your answer to the nearest whole percent. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
P %
b. Using your answer from part a, estimate the average completion time per repetition assuming a total of 30 repetitions are planned. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The approximate learning percentage can be estimated by using a doubling method.
If we breakdown the repetitions into three consecutive parts, we have:
1 - 2
2 - 4
3 - 6
then
1 - 2 → 46P = 39
P =39/46
P = 0.8478
P = 84.8%
2 - 4 → 39P = 33
P = 33/39
P = 0.84615
P = 84.6%
3 - 6 → 35P = 30
P = 30/35
P = 0.8571
P = 85.7%
The average value of P = (84.8 + 84.6 + 85.7)/3 = 85.03%
[tex]\simeq[/tex] 85%
From the tables of Learning Curves coefficient
The values are likened against times derived from 85% table factors at T[tex]_1[/tex] = 46
Unit 1 2 3 4 5 6
Date 46 39 35 33 32 30
Computed - 39.1 35.56 33.26 31.56 30.22
b. Using your answer from part a, estimate the average completion time per repetition assuming a total of 30 repetitions are planned. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
The average completion time = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{T_1 \times \ Total \ time\ factor}{n}}[/tex]
At the total time factor 30, from the learning curves table , n(30) = 17.091
Thus:
The average completion time = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{46 \times \ 17.091}{30}}[/tex]
The average completion time = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{786.186}{30}}[/tex]
The average completion time = [tex]\mathtt{26.2062}[/tex]
The scores for all the Algebra 1 students at Miller High on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 82 and a standard deviation of 7. What percent of students made scores above 89?
Answer:
15.7% of students made above an 89.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the data is normally distributed, the standard deviation is 7, and the mean is 82, then about 68.2% of students made between 75 and 89. 13.6% made between 90 and 96, and 2.1% made over 96. 13.6+2.1=15.7%
Write 8:18 as a fraction in simplest form.
Ratio as a Fraction:
Fraction in Simplest Form:
Answer:
[tex]\text{Ratio as a fraction - \: \boxed{\frac{8}{18}}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Fraction in simplest form - \boxed{\frac{4}{9}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1: Writing a ratio as a fraction
A fraction and a ratio are the same thing - just a different name. Therefore, the colon in a ratio is the same as a divisor line in a fraction. Therefore, to write a ratio as a fraction,
Replace the colon with a divisor line or the divisor line with a colon (use the first portion to transform a ratio into a fraction and the second form to transform a fraction into a ratio).Therefore, 8:18 as a fraction is 8/18.
Part 2: Fraction in simplest form
To put a fraction in simplest form, first divide the numerator by the denominator. If it contains a remainder, you cannot use this step to verify it.
8 only goes into 18 twice and leaves a 2 as a remainder, so this method does not work.
Instead, if both numbers are even, divide by 2.
8/2 = 4
18/2 = 9
Check to see if the new numerator and denominator can reduce any further.
4/9 = 4/9
The fraction in simplest form is 4/9.
for the functions f(x) = 4x^4+4x^3-8x^2-13x-5 and g(x) = x+1, find (f/g)(x) and (f/g)(2)
Answer:
(f/g)(x) = 4x³ - 8x - 5(f/g)(2) = 11Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x⁴ + 4x³ - 8x² - 13x - 5
g(x) = x + 1
To find (f/g)(2) first find (f/g)(x)
To find (f/g)(x) factorize f(x) first
That's
f(x) = 4x⁴ + 4x³ - 8x² - 13x - 5
f(x) = ( x + 1)( 4x³ - 8x - 5)
So we have
[tex] (f/g)(x) = \frac{( x + 1)( 4x³ - 8x - 5)}{x + 1} [/tex]
Simplify
We have
(f/g)(x) = 4x³ - 8x - 5To find (f/g)(2) substitute 2 into (f/g)(x)
That's
(f/g)(2) = 4(2)³ - 8(2) - 5
= 4(8) - 16 - 5
= 32 - 16 - 5
= 11
(f/g)(2) = 11Hope this helps you

factor 2/3 about the origin. Find the endpoints of the dilated line segment.
OA) (-2, 4), (6,8)
B) (2, 4). (6,8)
OC) (4, -2), (6,8)
OD) (-2,4), (8,6)
Answer: A) (-2, 4), (6,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
When a point (x,y) is dilated by a scale factor of k , then the new points is given by (kx,ky).
Given: The line segment AB with endpoints A(-3, 6) and B(9, 12) is dilated with a scale factor [tex]\dfrac23[/tex] about the origin.
Let A' and B' b the endpoints of the dilated line segment.
Then, [tex]A'(\dfrac{2}{3}(-3), \dfrac23(6))=A'(-2,4)[/tex]
[tex]B'(\dfrac{2}{3}(9), \dfrac23(12))=B'(6,8)[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is A) (-2, 4), (6,8)

Find all solutions to the equation. 2sin theta - squareroot 3 = 0
Write your answer in radians in terms of pi, and use the "or" button as necessary.
Example: theta = pi/5 + 2 k pi, k element Z or theta = pi/7 + k pi, k element Z
Answer:
[tex]\theta[/tex] =2mπ + π/3 for m ∈ Z.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation [tex]2sin\theta - \sqrt{3} = 0[/tex], we are to find all the values of [tex]\theta[/tex] that satisfies the equation.
[tex]2sin\theta - \sqrt{3} = 0\\\\2sin\theta = \sqrt{3} \\\\sin\theta = \sqrt{3}/2 \\\\\theta = sin{-1} \sqrt{3}/2 \\\\\theta = 60^0[/tex]
General solution for sin[tex]\theta[/tex] is [tex]\theta[/tex] = nπ + (-1)ⁿ ∝, where n ∈ Z.
If n is an even number say 2m, then [tex]\theta[/tex] = (2m)π + ∝ where ∝ = 60° = π/3
Hence, the general solution to the equation will be [tex]\theta[/tex] = 2mπ + π/3 for m ∈ Z.
Kyle buys $30,000 of company XYZ's shares, at a share price of $50. A year later, XYZ's share price is $55, and Kyle sells all his shares. How many dollars did Kyle's investment gain
Answer:
$3,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the shares are $50 per share and that Kyle buys $30,000 worth of shares,
Number of shares bought = total price of shares ÷ price per share
= $30,000 ÷ $50
= 600 shares
We are also give that a year later, the shares are worth $55
Total value of shares 1 year later = Price per share one year later x number of shares
= $55 x 600
= $33,000
Hence the investment gained $33,000 - $30,000 = $3,000
Answer:
10%
Step-by-step explanation:
x - amount of shares bought
x * 50[$] = 30000[$]
x = 30000/50 = 600
if he bought 600 shares then he sold earning in total:
600 * 55[$] = 33000[$]
that means investmant gain can be calculate as:
return on investment = (gain from investment – cost of investment) / cost of investment
return on investment = (33000 - 30000) / 30000 = 3000/30000 =0.1 = 10%

if u have question let me know in comments ^°^
Musah stands at the centre of a rectangular field. He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 steps
west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 3150
.
i. Sketch Musah’s movement
ii. How far west is Musah’s final point from the centre?
iii. How far north is Musah’s final point from the centre?
iv. Describe how you would guide a JHS student to find the bearing and distance of
Musah’s final point from the centre.
Answer:
ii. 75 steps
iii. 75 steps
iv. 106 steps, and [tex]315^{0}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Musah's starting point be A, his waiting point after taking 50 steps northward and 25 steps westward be B, and his stopping point be C.
ii. From the second attachment, Musah's distance due west from A to C (AD) can be determined as;
bearing at B = [tex]315^{0}[/tex], therefore <BCD = [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
To determine distance AB,
[tex]/AB/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/50/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/25/^{2}[/tex]
= 25000 + 625
= 3125
AB = [tex]\sqrt{3125}[/tex]
= 55.90
AB ≅ 56 steps
Thus, AC = 50 steps + 56 steps
= 106 steps
From ΔACD,
Sin [tex]45^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{106}[/tex]
⇒ x = 106 × Sin [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
= 74.9533
≅ 75 steps
Musah's distance west from centre to final point is 75 steps
iii. From the secon attachment, Musah's distance north, y, can be determined by;
Cos [tex]45^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y}{106}[/tex]
⇒ y = 106 × Cos [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
= 74.9533
≅ 75 steps
Musah's distance north from centre to final point is 75 steps.
iv. Musah's distance from centre to final point is AC = AB + BC
= 50 steps + 56 steps
= 106 steps
From ΔACD,
Tan θ = [tex]\frac{75}{75}[/tex]
= 1.0
θ = [tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex] 1.0
= [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
Musah's bearing from centre to final point = [tex]45^{0}[/tex] + [tex]270^{0}[/tex]
= [tex]315^{0}[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]x > -1[/tex] or
[tex]x > 2[/tex] or
[tex]x > 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex](x + 1)(x - 2) (x - 3) > 0[/tex]
Required
Solve; with steps
[tex](x + 1)(x - 2) (x - 3) > 0[/tex]
Start by splitting the inequality as follows
[tex]x + 1 > 0[/tex] or [tex]x - 2 > 0[/tex] or [tex]x - 3 > 0[/tex]
Solve the inequalities one after the other
Solving: [tex]x + 1 > 0[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides
[tex]x + 1 - 1 > 0 - 1[/tex]
[tex]x > -1[/tex]
Solving: [tex]x - 2 > 0[/tex]
Add 2 to both sides
[tex]x - 2 +2 > 0 +2[/tex]
[tex]x > 2[/tex]
Solving: [tex]x - 3 > 0[/tex]
Add 3 to both sides
[tex]x - 3 +3> 0+3[/tex]
[tex]x > 3[/tex]
Hence, the solution to the inequality is
[tex]x > -1[/tex] or
[tex]x > 2[/tex] or
[tex]x > 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that −4i is a zero, factor the following polynomial function completely. Use the Conjugate Roots Theorem, if applicable. f(x)=x4−2x3+x2−32x−240
Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ f(x)=(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5) \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, the Conjugate Roots Theorem states that if a complex number is a zero of real polynomial its conjugate is a zero too. It means that (x-4i)(x+4i) are factors of f(x).
[tex]\text{Meaning that } (x-4i)(x+4i) =x^2-(4i)^2=x^2+16 \text{ is a factor of f(x).}[/tex]
The coefficient of the leading term is 1 and the constant term is -240 = 16 * (-15), so we a re looking for a real number such that.
[tex]f(x)=x^4-2x^3+x^2-32x-240\\\\ =(x^2+16)(x^2+ax-15)\\\\ =x^4+ax^3-15x^2+16x^2+16ax-240[/tex]
We identify the coefficients for the like terms, it comes
a = -2 and 16a = -32 (which is equivalent). So, we can write in [tex]\mathbb{R}[/tex].
[tex]\\f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)[/tex]
The sum of the zeroes is 2=5-3 and their product is -15=-3*5, so we can factorise by (x-5)(x+3), which gives.
[tex]f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x^2+3x-5x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x(x+3)-5(x+3))\\\\=\boxed{(x^2+16)(x+3)(x-5)}[/tex]
And we can write in [tex]\mathbb{C}[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=\boxed{(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5)}[/tex]
Hope this helps.
Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.
Thank you
