A geometric sequence is shown below.
−12,−2,−8,−32,...
What is an explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence?
A.f(n)=12(−4)n
B. f(n)=−12(4)n−1
C. f(n)=−12(4)n
D. f(n)=12(−4)n−1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

An explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

[tex]f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}[/tex]

It means, option (B) should be true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

[tex]-\frac{1}{2},\:-2,\:-8,\:-32,...[/tex]

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio, denoted by 'r', and is defined by

[tex]f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

Determining the common ratios of all the adjacent terms

[tex]\frac{-2}{-\frac{1}{2}}=4,\:\quad \frac{-8}{-2}=4,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-8}=4[/tex]

As the ratio is the same, so

r = 4

Given that f₁ = -1/2

substituting r = 4, and f₁ = -1/2 in the nth term

[tex]f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}[/tex]

Thus, an explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

[tex]f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}[/tex]

It means, option (B) should be true.

Elwin is attempting to read a 480 page book in 28 days. He reads the first 60 pages in 4 days. At this rate, will he finish the book in time? Show your work and/or explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer : No, he won't

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Target = 480 pages in 28 days

Rate = 60 pages in 4 days

Required:

Determine if he'll reach his target

The rate can be expressed using:

Rate = pages/days

So, we have:

Rate = 60 pages/ 4 days

Multiply the fraction by : that number are on pdf

This can be interpreted as: 420 pages in 28 days

And his target is 480 pages in 28 days

Hence, he wont finish the book at that rate

(hoped it helped)

Answer:

if every 4 days it is 60 days it would have to be

Suppose that a random sample of size 100 is to be selected from a population with mean 50 and standard deviation 8. What is the probability that a sample mean will be greater than 50.8? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.159

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size (n) = 100

Population mean(pm) = 50

Standard deviation (s) = 8

Probability that Sample mean (m) will be greater Than 50.8

Using the relation :

(sample mean - population mean) / (standard deviation /sqrt(n))

P(m > 50.8)

Z = (50.8 - 50) / (8/ sqrt(100))

Z = 0.8 / (8/ 10)

Z = 0.8 / 0.8

Z = 1

P(Z > 1) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

Hence,

P(Z > 1) = 0.159 ( 3 decimal places)

The probability that a sample mean will be greater than 50.8 is P(Z > 1) = 0.159.

Given that,

Suppose that a random sample of size 100 is to be selected from a population with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 8.

We have to determine,

What is the probability that a sample mean will be greater than 50.8?

According to the question,

Sample size (n) = 100

Population mean(pm) = 50

Standard deviation (s) = 8

The probability that Sample mean (m) will be greater than 50.8.

Therefore,

[tex]\dfrac{(sample \ mean - population \ mean) \times \sqrt{n}}{standard \ deviation}[/tex]

Where P(m > 50.8)

[tex]Z = \dfrac{50.8 - 50 \times \sqrt{100}}{8}\\\\Z =\dfrac{ 0.8 \times 10 }{8}\\\\Z = \dfrac{0.8 }{0.8}\\\\Z = 1[/tex]

P(Z > 1) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

Hence,  The probability that a sample mean will be greater than 50.8 is P(Z > 1) = 0.159.

2. If the radius of a body-centered cubic unit cell is 2.55 x 10-8 cm, what is the length of the edge in pm

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a bcc unit cell is, [tex]r=2.55\times 10^{-8}\ cm[/tex]

We need to find the length of the edge in pm.

We know that,

For a bcc unit cell, the relation between the radius and the length of the edge is given by :

Edge length,

[tex]a=\dfrac{4r}{\sqrt{3} }\\\\a=\dfrac{4\times 2.55\times 10^{-8}}{\sqrt{3} }\\\\a=5.88\times 10^{-8}\ cm[/tex]

Answers

Answer: a. , c. , d., e.

Step-by-step explanation:

A variable that counts how many times a certain event occurs in a particular number of trials is known as binomial random variable.

For each trial, there exist only two outcomes .

The probability of for each event is the same on each trial.

a.  Event has two outcomes with same probability as 0.50, therefore the  random variable represents the total number of flips required to get tails is a binomial random variable.

b. Total guidelines are 5.

Here total outcomes are not 2 , it does not meet with the conditions of binomial.

c. The random variable represents the total number of children from this pair of parents with blue eyes has two outcomes (where has or not.)

also, the probability of having blue eyes is same in each trial, so it represents binomial random variable.

d. The random variable represents the total number out of 567 customers with a checking account has two outcomes (checking or savings).

So, it represents binomial random variable.

e. The random variable represents the total number of ace cards observed has two outcomes ( ace or not ace).

So it represents the binomial random variable.

G. [tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{18}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, I'm not very sure but I just want to give it a try, hopefully it helps. If not, I'm so sorry.

They said the line segment creates two similar triangles. This means that 18 is  like the base of the triangle (just like how 3 is the base of the smaller triangle) and h is like the height of the triangle (just like how 6 is the height of the triangle). Thus, if you put it as a fractional proportion way, it would be:

[tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{18}[/tex]

(6 = h and 3 = 18 but in different sizes, proportion stays the same)

You can even try to solve h using  [tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{18}[/tex] .

2 =  [tex]\frac{h}{18}[/tex]

h = 2 × 18

h = 36
