How many terms of the series 2 + 5 + 8 + … must be taken if their sum is 155

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  10

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of terms of an arithmetic series is ...

  Sn = (2a +d(n -1))·n/2 = (2an +dn^2 -dn)/2

For the series with first term 2 and common difference 3, the sum is 155 for n terms, where ...

  155 = (3n^2 +n(2·2 -3))/2

Multiplying by 2, we have ...

  3n^2 +n -310 = 0 . . . . . arranged in standard form

Using the quadratic formula, the positive solution is ...

  n = (-1 +√(1 -4(3)(-310)))/(2(3)) = (-1 +√3721)/6 = (61 -1)/6 = 10

10 terms of the series will have a sum of 155.

Answer 2
Answer: 10 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\displaystyle \ \Large \boldsymbol{} S_n=\frac{2a_1+d(n-1)}{2} \cdot n =155 \\\\ \frac{4+3(n-1)}{2} \cdot n =155 \\\\\\ 4n+3n^2-3n=310 \\\\ 3n^2+n-310=0 \\\\D=1+3720=3721=61^2\\\\n_1=\frac{61-1}{6} =\boxed{10} \\\\\\n_2=\frac{-61-1}{3} \ \ \o[/tex]

In the figure, find the measure of TU⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Answers

Answer:

TU = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two secant segments that are drawn from a circle to meet at an exterior point of the circle. Thus, according to the secant secant theorem, the product of the measure of one secant segment and its external secant segment equals that of the product of the other and its external secant segment.

Thus:

VU*TU = VW*BW

Substitute

7(x + 4) = 9(-2 + x)

7x + 28 = -18 + 9x

Collect like terms

7x - 9x = -18 - 28

-2x = -46

Divide both sides by -2

x = -46/-2

x = 23

✔️TU = x + 4

Plug in the value of x

TU = 23 + 4

TU = 27

Help with 5b please . thank you.​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(x)=ln(1+x)-x+(1/2)x^2.

We are first ask to differentiate this.

We will need chain rule for first term and power rule for all three terms.

f'(x)=(1+x)'/(1+x)-(1)+(1/2)×2x

f'(x)=(0+1)/(1+x)-(1)+x

f'(x)=1/(1+x)-(1)+x

We are then ask to prove if x is positive then f is positive.

I'm thinking they want us to use the derivative part in our answer.

Let's look at the critical numbers.

f' is undefined at x=-1 and it also makes f undefined.

Let's see if we can find when expression is 0.

1/(1+x)-(1)+x=0

Find common denominator:

1/(1+x)-(1+x)/(1+x)+x(1+x)/(1+x)=0

(1-1-x+x+x^2)/(1+x)=0

A fraction can only be zero when it's numerator is.

Simplify numerator equal 0:

x^2=0

This happens at x=0.

This means the expression,f, is increasing or decreasing after x=0. Let's found out what's happening there. f'(1)=1/(1+1)-(1)+1=1/2 which means after x=0, f is increasing since f'>0 after x=0.

So we should see increasing values of f when we up the value for x after 0.

Plugging in 0 gives: f(0)=ln(1+0)-0+(1/2)0^2=0.

So any value f, after this x=0, should be higher than 0 since f(0)=0 and f' told us f in increasing after x equals 0.

Х
?

Answers

Answer: x= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we first need to know how many miles he/she/it can drive in one hour (to make it simpler. Doing a bunch of calculations involving decimals and other stuff can be very confusing)

335 divided by 5 is 67

Therefore in one hour Ivan can drive 67 miles. We want to know the TIME it takes for Ivan to drive 737 miles and the formula for time is Distance / Speed.

The distance is 737 miles

The speed is 67 miles/hour

737 divided by 67 is 11

Therefore Ivan takes 11 hours to drive 737 hours

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.
7x² + 1 = 5x

Answers

Answer:

Imaginary roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is given by [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex].

Given [tex]7x^2+1=5x[/tex], subtract 5x from both sides so that the quadratic is in standard form:

[tex]7x^2-5x+1=0[/tex]

Now assign variables:

[tex]a\implies 7[/tex] [tex]b\implies -5[/tex] [tex]c\implies 1[/tex]

The discriminant is therefore [tex](-5)^2-4(7)(1)=25-28=\textbf{-3}[/tex].

What does this tell us about the roots?

Recall that the discriminant is what is under the radical in the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is used to find the solutions of a quadratic. Therefore, the solutions of this quadratic would be equal to [tex]\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{-3}}{2a}[/tex] for some [tex]b[/tex] and [tex]a[/tex]. Since the number under the radical is negative, there are no real roots to the quadratic (whenever the discriminant is negative, the are zero real solutions to the quadratic). Therefore, the quadratic has imaginary roots.

A population is equally divided into three class of drivers. The number of accidents per individual driver is Poisson for all drivers. For a driver of Class I, the expected number of accidents is uniformly distributed over [0.2, 1.0]. For a driver of Class II, the expected number of accidents is uniformly distributed over [0.4, 2.0]. For a driver of Class III, the expected number of accidents is uniformly distributed over [0.6, 3.0]. For driver randomly selected from this population, determine the probability of zero accidents.

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

As a result, Poisson for each driver seems to be the number of accidents.

Let X be the random vector indicating accident frequency.

Let, [tex]\lambda=[/tex]Expected accident frequency

[tex]P(X=0) = e^{-\lambda}[/tex]

For class 1:

[tex]P(X=0) = \frac{1}{(1-0.2)} \int_{0.2}^{1} e^{-\lambda} d\lambda \\\\P(X=0) = \frac{1}{0.8} \times [-e^{-1}-(-e^{-0.2})] = 0.56356[/tex]

For class 2:

[tex]P(X=0) = \frac{1}{(2-0.4)} \int_{0.4}^{2} e^{-\lambda} d\lambda\\\\P(X=0) = \frac{1}{1.6} \times [-e^{-2}-(-e^{-0.4})] = 0.33437[/tex]

For class 3:

[tex]P(X=0) = \frac{1}{(3-0.6)} \int_{0.6}^{3} e^{-\lambda} d\lambda\\\\P(X=0) = \frac{1}{2.4} \times [-e^{-3}-(-e^{-0.6})] = 0.20793[/tex]

The population is equally divided into three classes of drivers.

Hence, the Probability

[tex]\to P(X=0) = \frac{1}{3} \times 0.56356+\frac{1}{3} \times 0.33437+\frac{1}{3} \times 0.20793=0.36862[/tex]

1+c=sqrt(1+c^2)

(1+c)^2=(1+c^2)

2c=0, c=0

The required simplified value of c is zero for which the angle between a and b is 45°.

What is a vector?

Vector is defined as the quantities that have both magnitude and direction are called a vector quantity and the nature of the quantity is called a vector.  

Here,
scaler product is given as,
a . b = |a|.|b|cos45
(i + cj). (i + j) = √[1² + c²] . √[1²+1²] × 1/√2
1 + c = √1 + c²

Squaring both sides
(1 + c)² = 1 + c²
1 + c² + 2c =1 + c²
2c = 0
c = 0

Thus, the required simplified value of c is zero for which the angle between a and b is 45°.

Instructions: The polygons in each pair are similar. Find the
missing side length.

Answers

Answer:

missing side length is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

similar means that all correlating pairs of sides have the same ratio (old side length) / (new side length).

so, when we know the ratio of one pair, we can apply it to any other side to calculate the correlating side.

we see, when we go from small to large, that we have the ratio 32/40 = 4/5.

so, multiplying the larger side by this, we get the shorter side.

15 × 4/5 = 3 × 4 = 12

the proportion part in your picture is a bit confusing :

yes,

x/15 = 32/40 = 32/40

I don't know, why this last expression was repeated.

x/15 = 32/40

x = 15×32/40 = 15×4/5 = 3×4 = 12

as you see we get of course the same result doing it that way.

A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the South and the Midwest.

Find the 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions. Step 1 of 3 : Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval

Answers

Answer:

The point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 0.11.

The 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions is (0.0856, 0.1344).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Midwest:

50% of 1380, so:

[tex]p_M = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]s_M = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{1380}} = 0.0135[/tex]

South:

39% of 1300, so:

[tex]p_S = 0.39[/tex]

[tex]s_S = \sqrt{\frac{0.39*0.61}{1300}} = 0.0135[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_M - p_S = 0.5 - 0.39 = 0.11[/tex]

So the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 0.11.

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_M^2+s_S^2} = \sqrt{0.0135^2+0.0135^2} = 0.0191[/tex]

Confidence interval:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

80% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.2[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.28[/tex].  

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.11 - 1.28*0.0191 = 0.0856[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.11 + 1.28*0.0191 = 0.1344[/tex]

The 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions is (0.0856, 0.1344).

Answers

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are ten sides on this die. As stated in your question, there are five even numbers and five odd numbers. If we take the amount of even numbers over the total, you get 5/10, which simplifies to 1/2.

The probability of rolling an even number on a 10 - sided die is 1/2 or 0.5

What is Probability?

The probability that an event will occur is measured by the ratio of favorable examples to the total number of situations possible

The value of probability lies between 0 and 1

Given data ,

Let the data set be S = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ​}

So , the number of elements in the data set = 10 elements

Now , in order to get an even number when dolling the dice ,

The set of possible outcomes P = { 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 }

The number of elements in the data set P of outcomes = 5 elements

So , the probability of getting an even number from the data set when rolling a 10 sided dice is P ( x ) =
number of elements in the data set P of outcomes / number of elements in the data set

The probability of getting an even number from the data set when rolling a 10 sided dice is P ( x ) = 5 / 10

The probability P ( x ) = 1/2

                                   = 0.5

Hence , The probability of rolling an even number on a 10 - sided die is 1/2 or 0.5
