Consider the sequence {an}={3n+13n−3n3n+1}. Graph this sequence and use your graph to help you answer the following questions.
Part 1: You can simplify [tex]a_n[/tex] to
[tex]\dfrac{3n+1}{3n}-\dfrac{3n}{3n+1} = \dfrac1{3n}+\dfrac1{3n+1}[/tex]
Presumably, the sequence starts at n = 1. It's easy to see that the sequence is strictly decreasing, since larger values of n make either fraction smaller.
(a) So, the sequence is bounded above by its first value,
[tex]|a_n| \le a_1 = \dfrac13+\dfrac14 = \boxed{\dfrac7{12}}[/tex]
(b) And because both fractions in [tex]a_n[/tex] converge to 0, while remaining positive for any natural number n, the sequence is bounded below by 0,
[tex]|a_n| \ge \boxed{0}[/tex]
(c) Finally, [tex]a_n[/tex] is bounded above and below, so it is a bounded sequence.
Part 2: Yes, [tex]a_n[/tex] is monotonic and strictly decreasing.
Part 3:
(a) I assume the choices are between convergent and divergent. Any monotonic and bounded sequence is convergent.
(b) Since [tex]a_n[/tex] is decreasing and bounded below by 0, its limit as n goes to infinity is 0.
Part 4:
(a) We have
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{10n^2+1}{n^2+n} = \lim_{n\to\infty}10+\frac1{n^2}}{1+\frac1n} = 10[/tex]
and the (-1)ⁿ makes this limit alternate between -10 and 10. So the sequence is bounded but clearly not monotonic, and hence divergent.
(b) Taking the limit gives
[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{10n^3+1}{n^2+n} = \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{10+\frac1{n^3}}{\frac1n+\frac1{n^2}} = \infty[/tex]
so the sequence is unbounded and divergent. It should also be easy to see or establish that the sequence is strictly increasing and thus monotonic.
For the next three, I'm guessing the options here are something to the effect of "does", "may", or "does not".
(c) may : the sequence in (a) demonstrates that a bounded sequence need not converge
(d) does not : a monotonic sequence has to be bounded in order to converge, otherwise it grows to ± infinity.
(e) does : this is true and is known as the monotone convergence theorem.
A researcher is studying the effect of 10 different variables on a critical measure of business performance. In selecting the best set of independent variables to predict the dependent variable, the stepwise regression technique is used. How are variables selected for inclusion in the model?
A. Smallest regression coefficient.
B. Largest p-value.
C. Smallest p-value.
D. Highest increase in the multiple R2.
Answer:
D. Highest increase in the multiple R2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Included variables in a multiple regression model are those variables which have the most effect on the model ; variables which have no effect on the performance of the model ar discarded. Model performance are based on the variables affect the multiple R² value of the model. The R² value is the coefficient of determination which gives the proportion of change in predicted value based on the regression line. Higher R² value means the variable has greater effect in the model performance. Therefore, variables which have the highest increase on the multiple R² value , are included.

Follow the process of completing the square to solve x = 4x +3.
x -
Which of the following equations is used in this process?
(2x - 42.19
(2x4,2= 12
(2x 42-28
9514 1404 393
Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
The process for completing the square would generally put x-terms on one side of the equal sign and the constant term on the other side:
x^2 +4x = 3
Then the square of half the x-coefficient would be added to both sides. Here, that is (4/2)^2 = 4.
x^2 +4x +4 = 7
In order to make this match one of the answer choices, we must multiply both sides by 4.
4x^2 +16x +16 = 28
Now, we can factor the left side to see a match to the last answer choice.
(2x +4)^2 = 28
_____
Additional comment
As you can see, we had to deviate from the "complete the square" process to arrive at an equation that matches an answer choice. It cannot be said that the chosen equation "is used in the process." It might be useful to discuss this question with your teacher.

Answer:
See Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to show that the function:
[tex]f(x) = e^x - e^{-x}[/tex]
Increases for all values of x.
A function is increasing whenever its derivative is positive.
So, find the derivative of our function:
[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left[e^x - e^{-x}\right][/tex]
Differentiate:
[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = e^x - (-e^{-x})[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]f'(x) = e^x+e^{-x}[/tex]
Since eˣ is always greater than zero and e⁻ˣ is also always greater than zero, f'(x) is always positive. Hence, the original function increases for all values of x.

2) Consider the quadratic sequence 72, 100, 120, 132
2.1.1) Determine Tn the nth term of the quadratic.
Answer:
Tn = -4n²+40n+36
Step-by-step explanation:
A general quadratic sequence, Tn = an²+bn+c, where n is the term of the sequence.
So, when n = 1, Tn = 72, which means T1 = a+b+c=72.
when n = 2, Tn = 100, which means T2= 4a+2b+c = 100
when n = 3, Tn = 132, which means T3 = 9a+3b+c = 132.
Now, use a calcaulatot to solve the 3 variable simultaneous equation. According to my calculator, a = -4, b = 40, c = 36.
Hence, you a, b, and c in the Tn equation given above.
Therefore, Tn = -4n²+40n+36

Step-by-step explanation:
The jury pool for the upcoming murder trial of a celebrity actor contains the names of 100,000 individuals in the population who may be called for jury duty. The proportion of the available jurors on the population list who are Hispanic is .40. A jury of size 12 is selected at random from the population list of available jurors. Let X = the number of Hispanics selected to be jurors for this jury.
a. What is the expected number of hispanic jurors being on the jury?
b. What is the expected value (or theoretical mean) of a great earthquake off the coast of Oregon in two years?
c. Use the poisson distribution to appropriate the probability that there will be at least one major earthquake in the next two years.
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Step-by-step explanation:
Have a Spanish Jury possibility[tex]= 0.40[/tex]
Jury member No. to be chosen[tex]= n= 12[/tex]
Hispanic Juror Expected [tex]= np = 12\times 0.40 = 4.8[/tex]
The jury group will be constituted by Hispanic Jurors [tex]4.8[/tex]
OR
The binomial distribution defines the behavior of a count variable X, provided:
There are a set number of data points n.
Set [tex]n=12[/tex]
Each perception is independent. This will not affect others if your first juror is selected
One of two results is that each observation ("success" or "failure"). English or not
Each result has the same chance of "success" p. for every [tex]p=0.40[/tex]
Well by the binomial distribution. Mean[tex]=E(x)=np=4.8[/tex]

Now suppose that not every player can play in every position. The outfielders (left field, center field, right field) can play any outfield position, the infielders (1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, short stop) can play any infield position, the pitchers can only pitch, and the catchers can only catch. Suppose a certain team has 20 players, of whom 3 are catchers, 4 are outfielders, 6 are infielders, and 7 are pitchers.
How many ways can the team assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players, putting each of the 9 selected players in a position he can play, and ensuring that all 9 field positions are filled?
Answer:
The team can assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players in 181,440 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the outfielders (left field, center field, right field) can play any outfield position, the infielders (1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, short stop) can play any infield position, the pitchers can only pitch, and the catchers can only catch, supposing a certain team has 20 players, of whom 3 are catchers, 4 are outfielders, 6 are infielders, and 7 are pitchers, to determine how many ways can the team assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players, putting each of the 9 selected players in a position he can play, and ensuring that all 9 field positions are filled, the following calculation must be performed:
3 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 = X
21 x 30 x 12 x 24 = X
630 x 12 x 24 = X
181,440 = X
Therefore, the team can assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players in 181,440 different ways.

there are 10 crates of eggs stacked in the corner. each crate of eggs holds 20 eggs. If there is only 1 broken egg in the entire stack of crates, what percent of the crates have broken eggs in them?
Answer: 5%
Step-by-step explanation: If there is one broken egg in each crate (1/20), you would change that to5%
And if there are ten crates, then you see how many eggs there a re total.
(10 × 20 = 200)
If there are 200 eggs and for every 20 eggs there is on broken one, then there will be 10 broken eggs total. or 10/200
convert the fraction to a decimal ( 10 ÷ 200 = .05)
then convert the decimal to a percent. .05 is equal to 5%

Your friend is studying for an exam. Based on your knowledge of your friend, you believe that if they study for the exam, there is an 80% probability they will be able to pass it. On the other hand, if they do not study, there is only a 30% probability they will be able to pass. Your friend is not a particularly industrious student, and you initially believe there is only a 60% probability your friend will study for the exam. A few days later your friend happily proclaims that they passed the exam. Thus, find the probability that they did in fact study for the test with this knowledge in hand.
Answer:
0.8 = 80% probability that they did in fact study for the test.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Passed the exam.
Event B: Studied.
Probability of passing the test:
80% of 60%(Studied).
30% of 100 - 60 = 40%(did not study). So
[tex]P(A) = 0.8*0.6 + 0.3*0.4 = 0.6[/tex]
Probability of passing the test studying:
80% of 60%, so:
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.8*0.6 = 0.48[/tex]
Find the probability that they did in fact study for the test with this knowledge in hand.
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.48}{0.6} = 0.8[/tex]
0.8 = 80% probability that they did in fact study for the test.

1.621 kN
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the centerline of the canal be the x-axis. Because the forces exerted by the horses are symmetric to the centerline, only the x-components of these forces contribute to the resultant force on the barge, i.e., the y-components cancel out. Each x-component is equal to [tex]F_x = 839\cos 15[/tex] = 810.4 N. Therefore, the resultant force on the barge is twice this:
[tex]F_{net} = 2(839\:\text{N})\cos 15 = 1620.8\:\text{N}[/tex]

Step 2: Find Interest
Substitute in variables [Simple Interest Rate Formula]: A = 100(1 + 0.04 · 10)(Parenthesis) Multiply: A = 100(1 + 0.4)(Parenthesis) Add: A = 100(1.4)Multiply: A = 140Diane bought new headphones originally listed for $70.99. They are 25% off. Which equation can be used to find the amount Diane will save?
Step-by-step explanation:
100% = $70.99
there is a discount of 25%.
that means 75% (100 - 25) of the original price remains.
the equation to get any x% amount of a 100% total is simply
x% amount = 100% total amount × x/100
25% = 70.99 × 25/100 = $17.75
