The first five terms of an arithmetic sequence are shown below:
20, 17, 14, 11, 8, . . .
Let n represent the term number and f(n) the term in the sequence.
Choose a function that represents the sequence.

The answer to this question is f(n) = -3 + 23

Now my question is, how do you find the solution? I was taught the explicit formula is f(n) = m(n) + b, but no matter how many times I've tried to plug in the numbers I cannot seem to get the right answer. Please help me and do show the entire process and the steps.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the even integer between the middle two odd integers. Then the sum of the four odd integers is ...

  (x -3) +(x -1) +(x +1) +(x +3) = -72

  4x = -72

  x = -18

The four integers are -21, -19, -17, -15.

_____

Additional comment

You could let x represent one of the integers. Often, people choose to let it represent the least of them. Then the equation becomes x +(x+2) +(x+4) +(x+6) = -72, so 4x = -84 and x = -21. This introduces a "subtract 12" step in the solution process that is unnecessary if x is chosen to be the average of the integers.

As the average, x is the sum divided by the number of them, so you know x=-72/4 = -18 immediately. Then you just have to find the nearest two odd integers below and above -18. You can do the whole problem mentally.

Answer:

The domain of the function is all real values of x, except [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]x = 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x+1}{x^2-6x+8}[/tex]

It's a fraction, so the domain is all the real values except those in which the denominator is 0.

Denominator:

Quadratic equation with [tex]a = 1, b = -6, c = 8[/tex]

Using bhaskara, the denominator is 0 for these following values of x:

[tex]\Delta = (-6)^2 - 4(1)(8) = 36-32 = 4[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-(-6) + \sqrt{4}}{2} = 4[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-(-6) - \sqrt{4}}{2} = 2[/tex]

The domain of the function is all real values of x, except [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]x = 2[/tex]

Answer:

  y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure must be flipped top-to-bottom, so the line of reflection must be a horizontal line. Point B must be reflected to itself, so it is on the line of reflection. That means the line of reflection is y = 2.

__

You can draw the line of reflection using any two points that have y-coordinates of 2, for example, (0, 2) and (2, 2).

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles means sum of angles is 180.

4x + 4 + 6x - 4 = 180

4x + 6x + 4 - 4 = 180

10x = 180

x = 180 / 10

x = 18

Answer:

x=18 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are supplementary angles, then their sum = 180 degree

4x+4 + 6x-4 =180

4x+6x + 4-4 = 180

10x = 180

x=180/10

x=18

Answer:

different days of the week Do not have the same frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Observed values :

Monday (114); Tuesday (152); Wednesday (160); Thursday (164); Friday (179); Saturday (196); Sunday (130).

H0 : frequency are the same

H1 : frequency is not the same

Expected value is the same for all days:

Σ (observed values) * 1/ n

n = number of days in a week. = 7

Expected value = (114+152+160+164+179+196+130) / 7 = 156.428

χ² = Σ (observed - Expected)²/Expected

χ² = (11.508 + 0.125 + 0.082 + 0.366 + 3.257 + 10.01 + 4.465)

χ² = 29.813

The Pvalue(29.813, 6) ;

df = 7 - 1 = 6

The Pvalue(29.813, 6) = 0.000043

α = 0.01

Since, Pvalue < α ; Reject H0 ; and conclude that, different days of the week Do not have the same frequency.

Answer:

0.1587 = 15.87% probability that a person will wait for more than 9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean waiting time is 6 minutes and the variance of the waiting time is 9.

This means that [tex]\mu = 6, \sigma = \sqrt{9} = 3[/tex]

Find the probability that a person will wait for more than 9 minutes.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 9. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{9 - 6}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8413.

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

0.1587 = 15.87% probability that a person will wait for more than 9 minutes.

Answer:

$29,851.24

Step-by-step explanation:

The salary started as x.

Each year it was increased 15%.

A full amount is 100% of the amount. When you add 15% to the amount, you now have 115% of the amount.

115% as a decimal is 1.15; that means that to increase an amount by 15%, multiply the amount by 1.15

For example, let's say you want to know what is a 15% increase on 100. Start with 100. 15% of 100 is 15, so if you add 15% to 100 you expect to get 115.

Now multiply 1.15 by 100. You also get 115 showing you that multiplying a number by 1.15 is the same as adding 15%.

Now let's get back to our problem.

The salary started as x.

Each year, the increase in salary was 15% of the previous salary.

After 1 year the salary is 1.15x.

After 2 years, the salary is 1.15(1.15x).

After 3 years, the salary is 1.15(1.15(1.15x)) = (1.15^3)x

We are told that the salary became $45,400 after the three 15% increases, so

(1.15)^3 * x = 45,400

Multiply out 1.15^3 as 1/15 * 1.15 * 1.15 = 1.520875

1.520875x = 45,400

Divide both sides by 1.520875.

x = 45,400/1.520875

x = 29,851.24

Answer:

[tex](a)\ m = \frac{4}{3}[/tex] --- slope of OA

[tex](b)\ y = \frac{4}{3}x[/tex] --- the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached graph

Solving (a): Slope of OA

First, we identify two points on OA

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,0)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (3,4)[/tex]

So, the slope (m) is:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]m = \frac{4-0}{3-0}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Solving (b): The equation

This is calculated as:

[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,0)[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = \frac{4}{3}(x - 0) + 0[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{4}{3}(x)[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{4}{3}x[/tex]

Answer:

0.3711 = 37.11% probability that 5 or more of the 100 people will get the flu

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will develop the flu after getting the shot, or they will not. The probability of a person developing the flu after getting the shot is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that a person will develop the flu after getting a flu shot is 0.04.

This means that [tex]p = 0.04[/tex]

Random sample of 100 people:

This means that [tex]n = 100[/tex]

What is the probability that 5 or more of the 100 people will get the flu?

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{100} = 0.0169[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.04)^{1}.(0.96)^{99} = 0.0703[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{100,2}.(0.04)^{2}.(0.96)^{98} = 0.1450[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{100,3}.(0.04)^{3}.(0.96)^{97} = 0.1973[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{100,4}.(0.04)^{4}.(0.96)^{96} = 0.1994[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0169 + 0.0703 + 0.1450 + 0.1973 + 0.1994 = 0.6289[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.6289 = 0.3711[/tex]

0.3711 = 37.11% probability that 5 or more of the 100 people will get the flu
