Students who score within 14 points of the number 88 will pass a particular test. Write this statement using absolute value notation and use the variable x for the score.

The easy thing to do is notice that 1^4 = 1, 2^4 = 16, 3^4 = 81, and so on, so the sequence follows the rule [tex]n^4+1[/tex]. The next number would then be fourth power of 7 plus 1, or 2402.

And the harder way: Denote the n-th term in this sequence by [tex]a_n[/tex], and denote the given sequence by [tex]\{a_n\}_{n\ge1}[/tex].

Let [tex]b_n[/tex] denote the n-th term in the sequence of forward differences of [tex]\{a_n\}[/tex], defined by

[tex]b_n=a_{n+1}-a_n[/tex]

for n ≥ 1. That is, [tex]\{b_n\}[/tex] is the sequence with

[tex]b_1=a_2-a_1=17-2=15[/tex]

[tex]b_2=a_3-a_2=82-17=65[/tex]

[tex]b_3=a_4-a_3=175[/tex]

[tex]b_4=a_5-a_4=369[/tex]

[tex]b_5=a_6-a_5=671[/tex]

and so on.

Next, let [tex]c_n[/tex] denote the n-th term of the differences of [tex]\{b_n\}[/tex], i.e. for n ≥ 1,

[tex]c_n=b_{n+1}-b_n[/tex]

so that

[tex]c_1=b_2-b_1=65-15=50[/tex]

[tex]c_2=110[/tex]

[tex]c_3=194[/tex]

[tex]c_4=302[/tex]

etc.

Again: let [tex]d_n[/tex] denote the n-th difference of [tex]\{c_n\}[/tex]:

[tex]d_n=c_{n+1}-c_n[/tex]

[tex]d_1=c_2-c_1=60[/tex]

[tex]d_2=84[/tex]

[tex]d_3=108[/tex]

etc.

One more time: let [tex]e_n[/tex] denote the n-th difference of [tex]\{d_n\}[/tex]:

[tex]e_n=d_{n+1}-d_n[/tex]

[tex]e_1=d_2-d_1=24[/tex]

[tex]e_2=24[/tex]

etc.

The fact that these last differences are constant is a good sign that [tex]e_n=24[/tex] for all n ≥ 1. Assuming this, we would see that [tex]\{d_n\}[/tex] is an arithmetic sequence given recursively by

[tex]\begin{cases}d_1=60\\d_{n+1}=d_n+24&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}[/tex]

and we can easily find the explicit rule:

[tex]d_2=d_1+24[/tex]

[tex]d_3=d_2+24=d_1+24\cdot2[/tex]

[tex]d_4=d_3+24=d_1+24\cdot3[/tex]

and so on, up to

[tex]d_n=d_1+24(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]d_n=24n+36[/tex]

Use the same strategy to find a closed form for [tex]\{c_n\}[/tex], then for [tex]\{b_n\}[/tex], and finally [tex]\{a_n\}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{cases}c_1=50\\c_{n+1}=c_n+24n+36&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]c_2=c_1+24\cdot1+36[/tex]

[tex]c_3=c_2+24\cdot2+36=c_1+24(1+2)+36\cdot2[/tex]

[tex]c_4=c_3+24\cdot3+36=c_1+24(1+2+3)+36\cdot3[/tex]

and so on, up to

[tex]c_n=c_1+24(1+2+3+\cdots+(n-1))+36(n-1)[/tex]

Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive integers:

[tex]1+2+3+\cdots+n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^nk=\frac{n(n+1)}2[/tex]

[tex]\implies c_n=c_1+\dfrac{24(n-1)n}2+36(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies c_n=12n^2+24n+14[/tex]

[tex]\begin{cases}b_1=15\\b_{n+1}=b_n+12n^2+24n+14&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]b_2=b_1+12\cdot1^2+24\cdot1+14[/tex]

[tex]b_3=b_2+12\cdot2^2+24\cdot2+14=b_1+12(1^2+2^2)+24(1+2)+14\cdot2[/tex]

[tex]b_4=b_3+12\cdot3^2+24\cdot3+14=b_1+12(1^2+2^2+3^2)+24(1+2+3)+14\cdot3[/tex]

and so on, up to

[tex]b_n=b_1+12(1^2+2^2+3^2+\cdots+(n-1)^2)+24(1+2+3+\cdots+(n-1))+14(n-1)[/tex]

Recall the formula for the sum of squares of consecutive integers:

[tex]1^2+2^2+3^2+\cdots+n^2=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^nk^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6[/tex]

[tex]\implies b_n=15+\dfrac{12(n-1)n(2(n-1)+1)}6+\dfrac{24(n-1)n}2+14(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies b_n=4n^3+6n^2+4n+1[/tex]

[tex]\begin{cases}a_1=2\\a_{n+1}=a_n+4n^3+6n^2+4n+1&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]a_2=a_1+4\cdot1^3+6\cdot1^2+4\cdot1+1[/tex]

[tex]a_3=a_2+4(1^3+2^3)+6(1^2+2^2)+4(1+2)+1\cdot2[/tex]

[tex]a_4=a_3+4(1^3+2^3+3^3)+6(1^2+2^2+3^2)+4(1+2+3)+1\cdot3[/tex]

[tex]\implies a_n=a_1+4\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^3k^3+6\sum_{k=1}^3k^2+4\sum_{k=1}^3k+\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}1[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^nk^3=\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}4[/tex]

[tex]\implies a_n=2+\dfrac{4(n-1)^2n^2}4+\dfrac{6(n-1)n(2n)}6+\dfrac{4(n-1)n}2+(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies a_n=n^4+1[/tex]

Answer:

Solution : 8i

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the trivial identities cos(π / 2) = 0, and sin(π / 2) = 1 to solve this problem. Let's substitute,

[tex]8\left[cos\left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)+isin\left(\frac{\pi \:}{2}\right)\right][/tex] = [tex]8\left(0+1i\right)[/tex]

And of course 1i = i, so we have the expression 8(0 + i ). Distributing the " 8, " 8( 0 ) = 0, and 8(i) = 8i, making the fourth answer the correct solution.

Answer:

C. Independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events are events that have no impact on each other.

So, if the occurrence of an event doesn't influence the outcome of another, this means that they are independent because they do not impact each other.

This must mean C is correct because the two events have to be independent.

Answer:

  60°

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the rotation matrix ...

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos{\theta}&-\sin{\theta}\\\sin{\theta}&\cos{\theta}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\dfrac{1}{2}&-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}&\dfrac{1}{2}\end{array}\right][/tex]

This tells you the angle of rotation is ...

  [tex]\tan{\theta}=\dfrac{\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}=\sqrt{3}\\\\\theta=\arctan{\sqrt{3}}=60^{\circ}[/tex]

The angle of rotation is 60°.

Answer:

∛18 * ∛18 * 18/(∛18)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the surface area of the box be expressed as S = 2(LB+BH+LH) where

L is the length of the box = x

B is the breadth of the box = x

H is the height of the box = h

Substituting this variables into the formula, we will have;

S = 2(x(x)+xh+xh)

S = 2x²+2xh+2xh

S = 2x² + 4xh and the Volume V = x²h

If V = x²h; h = V/x²

Substituting h = V/x² into the surface area will give;

S = 2x² + 4x(V/x²)

Since the volume V = 18cm³

S = 2x² + 4x(18/x²)

S =  2x² + 72/x

Differentiating the function with respect to x to get the minimal point, we will have;

dS/dx = 4x - 72/x²

at dS/dx = 0

4x - 72/x² = 0

- 72/x² = -4x

72 = 4x³

x³ = 72/4

x³  = 18

[tex]x = \sqrt[3]{18}[/tex]

Critical point is at [tex]x = \sqrt[3]{18}[/tex]

If x²h = 18

(∛18)²h =18

h = 18/(∛18)²

Hence the dimension is  ∛18 * ∛18 * 18/(∛18)²

Answer:

p + q = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to take the original equation, and factor it to a form that's easier to get two binomial factors from (i.e., let's get a quadratic):

x^3 + px^2 + qx + 1

= x (x^2 + px + q) + 1

Now that we have factored out the x, we have a quadratic trinomial which we know can be broken down into two linear binomials.  The problem gives us two linear binomials, so let's take a look.

(x - 2) (x + 1) = (x^2 + px + q)

x^2 - 2x + x -2 = x^2 + px + q

Now let's solve.

x^2 - x - 2 = x^2 + px + q

-x - 2 = px + q

From here, we can easily see that p = -1 (the coefficient of x) and q = -2.

Hence, p + q = -1 + -2 = -3.

Cheers.

Answer:

The answer is

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

In linear regression, Linear models make a prediction using a linear function of the input features, with one being

For regression, the general prediction formula for a linear model looks as follows:

ŷ = w[0] * x[0] + w[1] * x[1] + ... + w[p] * x[p] + b

Here, x[0] to x[p] denotes the features (in this example, the number of features is p)

of a single data point, w and b are parameters of the model that are learned, and ŷ is

the prediction the model makes. For a dataset with a single feature, this is

ŷ = w[0] * x[0] + b

which you might remember from high school mathematics as the equation for a line.

Here, w[0] is the slope and b is the y-axis offset. For more features, w contains the

slopes along each feature axis. Alternatively, you can think of the predicted response

as being a weighted sum of the input features, with weights (which can be negative)

given by the entries of w.

Answer:

Amount = Rs. 30250 when Rate = 10%

Amount = Rs. 31360 when Rate = 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Principal, P = Rs.\ 25,000[/tex]

[tex]Time, t = 2\ years[/tex]

[tex]Rate; R_1 = 10\%[/tex]

[tex]Rate; R_2 = 12\%[/tex]

Number of times (n) = Annually

[tex]n = 1[/tex]

Required

Determine the Amount for both Rates

Amount (A) is calculated by:

[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

When Rate = 10%, we have:

Substitute 25,000 for P; 2 for t; 1 for n and 10% for r

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{10\%}{1})^{1 * 2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{10\%}{1})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 10\%)^{2}[/tex]

Convert 10% to decimal

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 0.10)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1.10)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * 1.21[/tex]

[tex]A = 30250[/tex]

Hence;

Amount = Rs. 30250 when Rate = 10%

When Rate = 12%, we have:

Substitute 25,000 for P; 2 for t; 1 for n and 10% for r

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{12\%}{1})^{1 * 2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{12\%}{1})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 12\%)^{2}[/tex]

Convert 12% to decimal

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 0.12)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1.12)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * 1.2544[/tex]

[tex]A = 31360[/tex]

Hence;

Amount = Rs. 31360 when Rate = 12%

Answer:

Attachment 1 : 5x + 6y = 5, Attachment 2 : 4cotθcscθ

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that we have three key points in solving these types of problems,

• x = r cos(θ)

• y = r sin(θ)

• x² + y² = r²

a ) For this first problem we need not apply the third equation.

( Multiply either side by 5 cos(θ) + 6 sin(θ) )

r [tex]*[/tex] ( 5 cos(θ) + 6 sin(θ) ) = 5,

( Distribute r )

5r cos(θ) + 6r sin(θ) = 5

( Substitute )

5x + 6y = 5 - the correct solution is option c

b ) We know that y² = 4x ⇒

r²sin²(θ) = 4r cos(θ),

r = 4cos(θ) / sin²(θ) = 4 cot(θ) csc(θ) = 4cotθcscθ - again the correct solution is option c

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = integral (-8x) dx = -4x^2 + C

f(1) = -3 = -4 + C

C = 1

f(x) = -4x^2 + 1

The particular solution of the differential equation f'(x) = -8x that satisfies the initial condition f(1) = -3 is: f(x) = -4x² + 1.

Here, we have,

To find the particular solution of the differential equation f'(x) = -8x that satisfies the initial condition f(1) = -3,

we can integrate the equation and use the initial condition to determine the constant of integration.

First, integrate both sides of the equation with respect to x:

∫ f'(x) dx = ∫ -8x dx

Integrating, we get:

f(x) = -4x² + C

Now, we can use the initial condition f(1) = -3 to find the value of the constant C.

Substituting x = 1 and f(x) = -3 into the equation, we have:

-3 = -4(1)² + C

-3 = -4 + C

C = -3 + 4

C = 1

Therefore, the particular solution of the differential equation f'(x) = -8x that satisfies the initial condition f(1) = -3 is:

f(x) = -4x² + 1

Answer:

(A) 0.11

(B) 0.0526

(C) Related

(D) 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is:

DC = event that a randomly selected driver is using a cell phone

TA = event that a randomly selected driver has a traffic accident

(A)

From the provided data:

P (DC) = 0.11

(B)

From the provided data:

P (TA) = 0.0526

(C)

To determine whether the events DC and TA are dependent, we need to show that:

[tex]P(DC\cap TA)\neq P(DC)\times P(TA)[/tex]

The value of P (DC ∩ TA) is,

[tex]P(DC\cap TA)=P(DC|TA)\time P(TA)[/tex]

                     [tex]=0.28\times 0.0526\\=0.014728[/tex]

Now compute the value of P (DC) × P (TA) as follows:

[tex]P (DC) \times P (TA)=0.11\times 0.0526=0.005786[/tex]

So, [tex]P(DC\cap TA)\neq P(DC)\times P(TA)[/tex]

Thus, cell phone use while driving and traffic accidents are related.

(D)

The probability that the driver was distracted by a cell phone given that the driver has an accident is:

P (DC | TA) = 0.28

Answer: 22 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N be the number of nickels.

Then the number of quarters is (55-N)

The nickels  contribute 5N cents to the total.

The quarters contribute 25*(55-N) cents to the total.

5N + 25*(55-N) = 715

5N + 1375 - 25N = 715

-20N = 715 - 1375 = -660

[tex]N=\frac{-660}{-20}[/tex]

[tex]=33[/tex]

[tex]55-33=22[/tex]

So there is 22 quarters inside the jar.

If it starts at 40 degrees and increases 10 degrees, it is going to be 50 degrees.  Increases means adding, so it is asking you to add 10 to 40 which is 50.  If it asks decreases in the future you will have to subtract.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

      (ab)^n=a^n * b^n

We need to show that it is true for n=1

assuming that it is true for n = k;

(ab)^n=a^n * b^n

( ab) ^1 = a^1 * b^1

ab = a * b

ab = ab

Then we need to show that it is true for n = ( k+1)

or (ab)^(k+1)=a^( k+1) * b^( k+1)

Starting with

  (ab)^k=a^k * b^k    given

Multiply each side by ab

ab *  (ab)^k= ab *a^k * b^k

   ( ab) ^ ( k+1) = a^ ( k+1) b^ (k+1)

Therefore, the rule is true for every natural number n

Step 2 - for k integer > 1, we assume S(k) and we need to prove that S(k+1) is true.

Imagine that you are a painter and you need to paint all the trees on one side of a road. You have several colours that you can use but you are asked to follow two rules:

Rule 1 - You need to paint the first tree in white.

Rule 2 - If one tree is white you have to paint the next one in white too.

What colour do you think all the trees will be painted?

Do you see why this is very important to prove the two steps as well ?

Let's do it in this example.

Step 1 - for n = 1, let's prove that S(1) is true, meaning  [tex](ab)^1=a\cdot b =a^1\cdot b^1[/tex]

So the statement is true for n = 1

Step 2 - Let's assume that this is true for k, and we have to prove that this is true for k+1

So we assume S(k), meaning that [tex](ab)^k=a^k\cdot b^k[/tex]

and what about S(k+1), meaning [tex](ab)^{k+1}=a^{k+1}\cdot b^{k+1}[/tex] ?

We will use the fact that this is true for k,

[tex](ab)^{k+1}=(ab)\cdot (ab)^k =(ab) \cdot a^k \cdot b^k[/tex]

We can write it because the statement at k is true and then we can conclude.

[tex](ab)^{k+1}=(ab)\cdot (ab)^k =(ab) \cdot a^k \cdot b^k=a^{k+1}\cdot b^{k+1}[/tex]

In conclusion, we have just proved that S(n) is true for any n integer greater or equal to 1, meaning [tex](ab)^{n}=a^{n}\cdot b^{n}[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.
