Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence –1, –3, –5, –7,

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a_n=-1+(n-1)(-2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence formula looks like this:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

where aₙ is the nth term, a₁ is the first term, n is the index, and d is the common difference.

Each consecutive term is decreased by 2 over the last, so d = 2. The first term is -1 of course, so you can write this equation:

[tex]a_n=-1+(n-1)(-2)[/tex]

Just to confirm:

[tex]a_n=-1+(n-1)(-2)\\a_3=-1+(2)(-2)\\a_3=-1-4\\a_3=-5[/tex]

And it works, -5 is the 3rd term in the sequence.

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 1 - 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 1 and d = a₂ - a₁ = - 3 - (- 1) = - 3 + 1 = - 2 , then

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = - 1 - 2(n - 1) = - 1 - 2n + 2 = - 2n + 1 = 1 - 2n

Consider the pattern 24, 33, 42, 51, …. What will the 10th term be?

Answers

Answer:

a₁₀ = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

33 - 24 = 42 - 33 = 51 - 42 = 9

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 24 and d = 9 , then

a₁₀ = 24 + (9 × 9) = 24 + 81 = 105

The 10th number of the arithmetic sequence will be 105.

What is an arithmetic sequence?

Let a₁ be the first term and d be a common difference. Then the nth term of the arithmetic sequence is given as,

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

The arithmetic sequence is given below.

24, 33, 42, 51, ....

The first term is 24 and the common difference will be

d = 33 - 24

d = 9

Then the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence will be

a₁₀ = 24 + (10 - 1) × 9

a₁₀ = 24 + 9 × 9

a₁₀ = 24 + 81

a₁₀ = 105

The 10th number of the arithmetic sequence will be 105.

[tex]2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex][n][/tex] denote the area of some polygon [tex]n[/tex].

The sum of the area of quadrilaterals BCDE and MNDE is equal to [tex][ABC]-([MBE]+[NDC]+AMN])[/tex] (big triangle subtracting the three smaller triangles that aren't part of BCDE or MNDE).

Let the area of triangle ABC be [tex]\alpha[/tex].

Triangle AMN is similar to triangle ABC. Because their side lengths are in ratio 1:2 respectively, the ratio of the area of triangle AMN to triangle ABC is [tex]1:2^2=1:4[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]\displaystyle [AMN]=\frac{1}{4}[ABC]=\frac{1}{4}\alpha[/tex].

Now for triangle NDC, NDC is similar to triangle AMC. Since M is the midpoint of AB, AMC is half the area of ABC. The ratio of the side lengths between triangle NDC and triangle AMC is [tex]1:2[/tex] because the D is the midpoint of MC, so it follows the ratio of their areas must be [tex]1:4[/tex], respectively.

Therefore, [tex]\displaystyle[NDC]=\frac{1}{4}[AMC]=\frac{1}{8}[ABC]=\frac{1}{8}\alpha[/tex].

We can use the same concept for triangle MEB. Triangle MEB is similar to triangle ANB, and the ratio of their sides is also [tex]1:2[/tex], since E is the midpoint of BN. Their areas are in the ratio [tex]1:2^2=1:4[/tex] and we have [tex]\displaystyle [MBE]=\frac{1}{4}[ANB]=\frac{1}{8}\alpha[/tex].

Thus,

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{[ABC]}{[BCDE]+[MNDE]}=\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-\frac{1}{4}\alpha-\frac{1}{8}\alpha-\frac{1}{8}\alpha}=\frac{\alpha}{0.5\alpha}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=\boxed{2}[/tex]

Solve −3x2 + 30x − 90 = 0

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

so, it is a quadratic equation :

-3x² + 30x - 90 = 0

the first thing we can do is divide by 3

-x² + 10x - 30 = 0

remember, the formula to solve and find the 2 solutions is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case here

a = -1

b = 10

c = -30

x = (-10 ± sqrt(100 - 4×-1×-30))/-2 =

= (-10 ± sqrt(100 - 120))/-2 = (-10 ± sqrt(-20))/-2 =

= (-10 ± sqrt(4×5)i)/-2 = (-10 ± 2×sqrt(5)i)/-2 =

= 5 ± -sqrt(5)i

x1 = 5 - sqrt(5)i

x2 = 5 + sqrt(5)i

In 1950, the group spent 23% of their budget on food. This has decreased
at an average rate of approximately 0.27% per year since then. Find a
linear function in slope-intercept form that models the percentage of total
spending, p(x), by the group x years after 1950.

Answers

The linear function that can be used to model this relationship is:

y = -0.27x + 23

A linear function is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Let P(x) represent the percentage of total  spending x years after 1950.

Since In 1950, the group spent 23% of their budget on food, hence b = 23.

Also, this has been decreasing at 0.27% per year. Hence m = -0.27.

The linear function that can be used to model this relationship is:

Answers

A relation may or may not represent a function.

The relation of the movie and its costs is a function.The pattern is that, as unit cost of each movie decreases as the number of movies increases.

The costs are given as:

1 movie costs $102 movies cost $183 movies cost $244 movies cost $28

(a) The mapping diagram

To do this, we simply point the number of movies, to the corresponding costs, using arrows

See attachment for the mapping diagram.

(b) Is the relation a function

From the attached mapping, we can see that:

The costs of each movie are different.

This means that: the relation is a function.

(c) Describe the pattern

Notice that as the number of movies increases, the cost also increases;

However, the unit cost decreases.

Hence, the unit cost of each movie decreases as the number of movies increases.

Answers

Answer:

Parallel lines: Line B and C

Perpendicular lines: Line A and B; Line A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we only need to find the slope of each equation. The formula for slope is attached in a picture.

LINE A

Substituting the first line into the formula, we will get...

(2 - 5)/(0 -(-4))

-3/4

LINE B

Substituting the second line's points into the formula we will get...

(2 - 6)/(3 - 6)

-4/-3

4/3

LINE C

Substituting the third line's points into the formula we will get...

(3 -(-1)/(0 -(-3))

4/3

So, parallel lines have the same slope, right? Since line b and line c have the same slope, they are parallel.

And, perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, right? (reciprocal means x/y -> y/x) Since -3/4 and 4/3 are negative reciprocals of each other, they are perpendicular.

Therefore...

Parallel lines: Line B and C

Perpendicular lines: Line A and B; Line A and C

h(y) = y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3 + y^3 + 7y^2 - 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

14.9 is the middle value of x and 22.3. So your formula looks like this.

(x + 22.3) / 2 = 14.9          Multiply both sides by 2

2(x + 22.3) / 2 = 14.9*2    Remove the brackets.

x + 22.3   = 29.8              Subtract 22.3 from both sides

x = 29.8 - 22.3                

x = 7.5

sets if 98% of households have at least one television set and 4 households are selected, find the probability that at least one household has a television set.

Answers

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.99999984 = 99.999984% probability that at least one household has a television set.

For each household, there are only two possible outcomes, either it has at least one television set, or it does not. The probability of a household having at least one television set is independent of any other household, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes. n is the number of trials. p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

4 households are selected, hence [tex]n = 4[/tex].98% have at least one television set, hence [tex]p = 0.98[/tex]

The probability that at least one household has a television set is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.98)^{0}.(0.02)^{4} = 0.00000016[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.00000016 = 0.99999984 [/tex]

0.99999984 = 99.999984% probability that at least one household has a television set.
