4an-1?
A. an = 1(4)^n-1
B. an = 4(4)^n-1
C. an = 4(1)^n–1
D. an = 1 + (n - 1)4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. an = 1(4)^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient between consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio, and the sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1(q)^{n-1}[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and q is the common ratio.

We are given the following sequence:

[tex]a_1 = 1[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 4a_{n-1}[/tex]

So

[tex]a_2 = 4a_1 = 4[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 4a_2 = 16[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 4a_3 = 64[/tex]

That is, the quotient between consecutive terms is 4, so [tex]q = 4[/tex].

The first term is already given, [tex]a_1 = 1[/tex]. So

[tex]a_n = a_1(q)^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 1(4)^{n-1}[/tex]

And thus, the correct answer is given by option A.

A) 9.850

Answers

Answer:

B) 18.610

Step-by-step explanation:

Using SOHCAHTOA (trig ratios), the tangent of 28° is the ratio of its opposite length to its adjacent.

in this scenario, the side opposite to 28°, and the side adjacent to it is 35°

tan 28° = y/35

Using inverse operations, multiply both sides by 35

y = 35 * tan 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the components of each vector is x and y-directions first.

Sum of x-component vector forces.

[tex]F_{tot-x}=F_{1}cos(45)+F_{2}cos(30)[/tex]

[tex]F_{tot-x}=50cos(45)+75cos(30)[/tex]

Sum of y-component vector forces.

[tex]F_{tot-y}=-F_{1}sin(45)+F_{2}sin(30)[/tex]

[tex]F_{tot-y}=-50sin(45)+75sin(30)[/tex]

[tex]F_{tot-y}=2.1 \: pound[/tex]  

The magnitude of the resultant force is:

[tex]R=\sqrt{100.3^{2}+2.1^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]R=100.3 \:pound[/tex]

The direction is:

[tex]tan(\theta)=\frac{2.1}{100.3}[/tex]

A marine biologist wanted to construct a t interval to estimate the mean weight of marine otters using 98% confidence. They took a random sample of n = 8 marine otters to measure their weights. These weights were roughly symmetric with a mean of 2 = 4.5 kg and a standard deviation of sx = 1.1 kg.What critical value t* should they use?

Answers

Answer:

CI 98 %  =  ( 3.332  ;  5.668 )

t(c)  =  2.9979

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval  CI  98 %   then  α  =  2 %   α  =  0,02    α/2  =  0.01

Sample information:

Sample size    n  =  8

sample mean     x  =  4.5

standard deviation of sample    s  =  1.1 kg

degree of freedom     df  =  n  -  1     df  =  8  -  1    df  =  7

With    α/2  0.01  and  df  =  7 from t-studente table we find   t(c)

t(c)  =  2.9979

CI 98 %  =  (   x  ±  t(c) * s/√n )

CI 98 %  =  (  4.5  ±  2.9979 *  1.1/ √8 )

CI 98 %  =  (  4.5  ±  3.2976/2.8228 )

CI 98 %  =  (  4.5  ± 1.168 )

CI 98 %  =  ( 3.332  ;  5.668 )

A coin is flipped 60 times and lands on heads 36 times. Based on the experimental probability, how many heads would you predict for 200 flips of the coin?

Answers

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

200 divided by 60 equals 3 then 36 times 3 equals 108

Answer:

120 heads

Step-by-step explanation:

The Experimental probability for heads is 36/60. now we have to find the experimental probability for 200 flips. so 36/60 = ?/200. We have to find a number that 60 multiplies by to get 200. That number is 200/60 = 20/6 = 3 1/3. So multiply 36 by 3 1/3: 36 * 3 = 108. 36 * 1/3 = 12. 108 + 12 = 120. So it is 120 heads

A rancher has 600600 feet of fencing to put around a rectangular field and then subdivide the field into 33 identical smaller rectangular plots by placing two fences parallel to one of the field's shorter sides. Find the dimensions that maximize the enclosed area. Write your answers as fractions reduced to lowest terms.

Answers

Answer:

x =  150 ft

y  =   y  =  150 / 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the field is    A  =  x*y

Let´s assume x is the larger side of the rectangle, and that we will get 33 identical smaller rectangular plots dividing  x into 33 rectangles ( using 34 sides of length  y ) then the quantity of fence is:

p  =  2*x  +  34*y   ⇒   600  =  2*x  +  34*y        y  =  ( 600 - 2*x)/34

A = x*y

A (x)  =  x*  ( 600 - 2*x)/34

A (x)  = ( 600*x  - 2*x²)/34

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation:

A´(x)  = (1/34)* ( 600 - 4*x )

A´(x)  =  0       (1/34)* ( 600 - 4*x ) = 0      600  -  4*x  = 0

x  =  600/4

x = 150 feet

And  y  =  (1/34)( 600 -  2*150)

y  =  300/34    y  =  150 / 17 ft

y  =  8.82 ft

How do we know that is a maximum area, we find the second derivative of A

A´´(x)   =    - 4/34      then  A´´(x) < 0

We get a maximum of function A for the value  x = 150

d. The effect of training on how long it takes to solve the problem was significant, F(2, 29) - 4.47. p ,05.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "Option b"

Step-by-step explanation:

Through this context, it is determined that the p-value is much less than 0.05, which is 0.021, so the rejection of the null hypothesis at 5%. There should be enough evidence to demonstrate that now the effect of the organization was substantial on how long it has taken to solve the issue. This result is statistically important.

The correct conclusion about this data is (b) The effect of training on how long it takes to solve the problem was significant, F(2, 27) = 4.47, p < 05.

From the table, we have the following values

F = 4.467

df between group = 2

df within group = 27

To reference the result, we make use of:

F(df between group, df within group) =  F value

So, we have:

F(2, 27) = 4.47

The above result shows the F value approximated to two decimal points

Hence, the correct conclusion about this data is (b) The effect of training on how long it takes to solve the problem was significant, F(2, 27) = 4.47, p < 05.

Answers

Answer:

c.) The absolute change is 35 students and the relative change indicates an increase of 23.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

the participants increasing = 185-150=35

the percentage = 35/150 × 100% = 23.3%

Option (C) The absolute change is 35 students and the relative change indicates an increase of 23.3% is correct.

What is the percentage?

It's the ratio of two integers stated as a fraction of a hundred parts. It is a metric for comparing two sets of data, and it is expressed as a percentage using the percent symbol.

We have:

In 2011, there were 150 participants in a quiz competition. In 2012, there were 185 participants in this quiz competition.

c) The absolute change is 35 students and the relative change indicates an increase of 23.3%

The change in participent = 185 - 150 = 35

Percentage change = (35/150)×100 = 23.3%

Thus, option (C) The absolute change is 35 students and the relative change indicates an increase of 23.3% is correct.

Further Explanation:

ASA is where we have the marked side between two marked angles. This is slightly different from AAS or SAA. The order is important. The diagram shows how the angles pair up (eg: the double arc angles are the same measure). Using ASA is enough to prove the triangles congruent.SSS is used here because we have three pairs of congruent sides. The unmarked sides overlap perfectly, so we consider this a shared side. They are congruent to each other (because of the reflexive property). So we have enough info to show that the triangles are congruent.HA stands for hypotenuse angle. It's probably not that often used. It only applies to right triangles. The two overlapped segments are the hypotenuse of each right triangle, so that takes care of the "H" of "HA". The A part refers to the congruent acute angles (not the right angles). Therefore, the triangles are congruent by the HA theorem.
