Type the missing number in this sequence:
1,
4,
,64, 256,
1,024
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is 1, 4,...,64, 256, 1024
Notice that:
● 1 = 2^0
● 4 = 2^2
● 64 = 2^6
● 256 = 2^8
● 1024 = 2^10
Notice that we add 2 each time to the exponent so the missing number is:
● 2^(2+2) = 2^4 = 16

Complete Question
On the uploaded image is a similar question that will explain the given question
Answer:
The value of k is [tex]k = 214285.7[/tex]
The percentage of the oil that will be cleaned is [tex]x = 80.77\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The cost of cleaning up the spillage is [tex]C = \frac{ k x }{100 - x }[/tex] [tex]x \le x \le 100[/tex]
The cost of cleaning x = 70% of the oil is [tex]C = \$500,000[/tex]
Now at [tex]C = \$500,000[/tex] we have
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{100 - 70 }[/tex]
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{30 }[/tex]
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{30 }[/tex]
[tex]k = 214285.7[/tex]
Now When [tex]C = \$900,000[/tex]
[tex]x = 80.77\%[/tex]
solve this equation 4log√x - log 3x =log x^2
Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
*Move terms to the left and set equal to zero:
4㏒(√x) - ㏒(3x) - ㏒(x²) = 0
*simplify each term:
㏒(x²) - ㏒(3x) - ㏒(x²)
㏒(x²÷x²) -㏒(3x)
㏒(x²÷x² / 3x)
*cancel common factor x²:
㏒([tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex])
*rewrite to solve for x :
10⁰ = [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex]
1 = [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex]
1 · x = [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex] · x
1x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
*that would be our answer, however, the convention is to exclude the "1" in front of variables so we are left with:
x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Gail paid a total of $12,000 for stock that was $6 per share. If she sold all her shares for $18,000, how much profit on each share did she make?
A
$9
B
$3
С.
S2000
D
$6.000
Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total Cost Price: $12,000
Unit Cost Price= $6
Total Selling Price = $18,000
Required
Determine the profit on each share
First, we need to determine the units of share bought;
Units = Total cost price / Unit Cost Price
[tex]Units = \frac{\$12000}{\$6}[/tex]
[tex]Units = 2000[/tex]
Next is to determine the selling price of each share; This is calculated as follows;
Unit Selling Price = Total Selling Price / Units Sold
[tex]Unit\ Selling\ Price = \frac{\$18000}{\$2000}[/tex]
[tex]Unit\ Selling\ Price = \$9[/tex]
The profit is the difference between the unit cost price and unit selling price
[tex]Profit = Unit\ Selling\ Price - Unit\ Cost\ Price[/tex]
[tex]Profit = \$9 - \$6[/tex]
[tex]Profit = \$3[/tex]

Answer:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the rational function:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{x-3}{4x-1}[/tex]
In rational functions, the domain is always all real numbers except for the values when the denominator equals zero. In other words, we need to find the zeros of the denominator:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}4x -1 & = 0 \\ \\ 4x & = 1 \\ \\ x & = \frac{1}{4} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, the domain is all real number except for x = 1/4.
In interval notation, this is:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The left interval represents all the values to the left of 1/4.The right interval represents all the values to the right of 1/4. The union symbol is needed to combine the two. Note that we use parentheses instead of brackets because we do not include the 1/4 nor the infinities.
In conclusion, our answer is C.

Find the principal invested if $495 interest was earned in 3 years at an interest rate of 6%.
Answer: $2750
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to calculate interest : I = Prt , where P = Principal amount , r = rate of interest ( in decimal) , t= time.
Given: I= $495
t= 3 years
r= 6% = 0.06
Then, according to the above formula:
[tex]495 = P (0.06\times3)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{495}{0.18}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=2750[/tex]
Hence, the principal invested = $2750
cooks are needed to prepare for a large party. Each cook can bake either 5 Large cakes or 14 small cakes per hour . The kitchen is available for 3 hours and 29 large cakes and 260 cakes need to be baked . How many cooks are required to bake the required number of cakes during the time the kitchen is available?
it was all about equating some values
to bake the required number of cakes during the available 3-hour time period, 7 cooks are required.
Let's determine the number of cooks required to bake the required number of cakes during the available time.
We have the following information:
- Each cook can bake either 5 large cakes or 14 small cakes per hour.
- The kitchen is available for 3 hours.
- We need to bake 29 large cakes and 260 cakes in total.
First, let's calculate the number of large cakes that can be baked by one cook in 3 hours:
1 cook can bake 5 large cakes/hour × 3 hours = 15 large cakes.
Next, let's calculate the number of small cakes that can be baked by one cook in 3 hours:
1 cook can bake 14 small cakes/hour × 3 hours = 42 small cakes.
Now, let's calculate the number of large cakes that can be baked by all the cooks in 3 hours:
Total number of large cakes = Number of cooks × Large cakes per cook per 3 hours
We need to bake 29 large cakes, so:
29 = Number of cooks × 15
Number of cooks = 29 / 15 ≈ 1.93
Since we can't have a fraction of a cook, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, we need at least 2 cooks to bake the required number of large cakes.
Similarly, let's calculate the number of small cakes that can be baked by all the cooks in 3 hours:
Total number of small cakes = Number of cooks × Small cakes per cook per 3 hours
We need to bake 260 small cakes, so:
260 = Number of cooks × 42
Number of cooks = 260 / 42 ≈ 6.19
Again, rounding up to the nearest whole number, we need at least 7 cooks to bake the required number of small cakes.
Since we need to satisfy both requirements for large and small cakes, we choose the larger number of cooks required, which is 7 cooks.
Therefore, to bake the required number of cakes during the available 3-hour time period, 7 cooks are required.

What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–5,2), B(–3, 5),C(4, 5),and D(2, 2)?
Answer: ABCD is a parallelogram.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we plot these point on a graph as given in attachment.
From the attachment we can observe that AD || BC || x-axis .
also, AB ||CD, that will make ABCD a parallelogram , but to confirm we check the property of parallelogram "diagonals bisect each other" , i.e . "Mid point of both diagonals are equal".
Mid point of AC= [tex](\dfrac{-5+4}{2},\dfrac{2+5}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]
Mid point of BD= [tex](\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{5+2}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]
Thus, Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD

The age of some lecturers are 42,54,50,54,50,42,46,46,48 and 48 calculate the mean age and standard deviation
Answer:
Mean age: 48
Standard deviation: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Mean
The formula for Mean = Sum of terms/ Number of terms
Number of terms
= 42 + 54 + 50 + 54 + 50 + 42 + 46 + 46 + 48+ 48/ 10
= 480/10
= 48
The mean age is 48
b) Standard deviation
The formula for Standard deviation =
√(x - Mean)²/n
Where n = number of terms
Standard deviation =
√[(42 - 48)² + (54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(42 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² / 10]
= √-6² + 6² + 2² + 6² + 2² + -6² + -2² + -2² + 0² + 0²/10
=√36 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 4 + 0 + 0/ 10

Determine the value of x in the figure. Question 1 options: A) x = 90 B) x = 85 C) x = 45 D) x = 135
Answer:
A.) x=90°
Step-by-step explanation:
Note:
The triangle shown is an isosceles triangle, which means that it has 2 congruent sides (as shown by the small intersecting lines), and this also means that it has two congruent angles.
We are given an angle measure adjacent to one of the missing angles. These two form supplementary angles, which means that they're sum is equal to 180°, or a straight line. So, to find:
[tex]180=135+y[/tex]
y is the unknown angle. Solve for y:
[tex]180-135=y\\\\y=45[/tex]
y is 45°. Since this and the other angle are congruent, add:
[tex]45+45=90[/tex]
Note:
Triangles angles will always add up to a total of 180°.
To find the missing angle x°, use:
[tex]180=a+b+c[/tex]
These are the angles in a triangle. Substitute any known values and solve:
[tex]180=45+45+x\\\\180=90+x\\\\180-90=x\\\\x=90[/tex]
The missing angle x° is 90°.

At a local high school, the student population is growing at 12% a year. If the original population was 242 students, how long will it take the population to reach 300 students? Round to the nearest tenth of a year.
Answer: 2 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth function is given by :-
[tex]y=A(1+r)^x[/tex] (i)
, where A = initial value , r = rate of growth and x= time period.
As per given ,
A= 242
r= 12% = 0.12
To find : t when y= 300.
Put all the values in (i)
[tex]300=242(1+0.12)^x\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{300}{242}=(1.12)^x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.23967=(1.12)^x[/tex]
Taking log on both sides , we get
[tex]\log (1.2396) = t \log (1.12)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.09328=t(0.049218)\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{0.09328}{0.049218}=\approx2[/tex]
hence, it will take 2 years.

Suppose that a sample mean is .29 with a lower bound of a confidence interval of .24. What is the upper bound of the confidence interval?
Answer:
The upper bound of the confidence interval is 0.34
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we want to calculate the upper bound of the confidence interval.
We start by calculating the margin of error.
Mathematically, the margin of error = 0.29 -0.24 = 0.05
So to get the upper bound of the confidence interval, we simply add this margin of error to the mean
That would be 0.05 + 0.29 = 0.34

Consider the function below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x3 − 27x + 3 (a) Find the interval of increase. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
Answer:
(-∞,-3) and (3,∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3
1. Find the critical points
(a) Calculate the first derivative of the function.
f'(x) = 3x² -27
(b) Factor the first derivative
f'(x)= 3(x² - 9) = 3(x + 3) (x - 3)
(c) Find the zeros
3(x + 3) (x - 3) = 0
x + 3 = 0 x - 3 = 0
x = -3 x = 3
The critical points are at x = -3 and x = 3.
2. Find the local extrema
(a) x = -3
f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = (-3)³ - 27(-3) + 3 = -27 +81 + 3 = 57
(b) x = 3
f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = 3³ - 27(3) + 3 = 27 - 81 + 3 = -51
The local extrema are at (-3,57) and (3,-51).
3, Identify the local extrema as maxima or minima
Test the first derivative (the slope) over the intervals (-∞, -3), (-3,3), (3,∞)
f'(-4) = 3x² -27 = 3(4)² - 27 = 21
f'(0) = 3(0)² -27 = -27
f'(4) = 3(4)² - 27 = 51
The function is increasing on the intervals (-∞,-3) and (3,∞).
The graph below shows the critical points of your function.

Layla is going to drive from her house to City A without stopping. Layla plans to drive
at a speed of 30 miles per hour and her house is 240 miles from City A. Write an
equation for D, in terms of t, representing Layla's distance from City A t hours after
leaving her house.
Answer:
D = 240 - 30t
Step-by-step explanation:
If the equation represents her distance from City A, we need to include 240 in the equation to represent the distance to the city.
Then, we need to subtract 30t from 240 in the equation because 30t represents how far she will have traveled in t hours.
So, D = 240 - 30t is the equation that will represent Layla's distance from the city.

A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of ounces and a standard deviation of ounce. You randomly select cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is ounces. Does the machine need to be reset? Explain your reasoning. ▼ Yes No , it is ▼ very unlikely likely that you would have randomly sampled cans with a mean equal to ounces, because it ▼ lies does not lie within the range of a usual event, namely within ▼ 1 standard deviation 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
Complete question is;
A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of 128 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce. You randomly select 35 cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is 127.9 ounces. Does the machine need to be? reset? Explain your reasoning.
(yes/no)?, it is (very unlikely/ likely) that you would have randomly sampled 35 cans with a mean equal to 127.9 ?ounces, because it (lies/ does not lie) within the range of a usual? event, namely within (1 standard deviation, 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations) of the mean of the sample means.
Answer:
Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Mean: μ = 128
Standard deviation; σ = 0.2
n = 35
Now, formula for standard error of mean is given as;
se = σ/√n
se = 0.2/√35
se = 0.0338
Normally, the range of values should be within 2 standard deviations of mean. In this case, normal range of values will be;
μ ± 2se = 128 ± 0.0338
This gives; 127.9662, 128.0338
So, Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
