The first four terms of a sequence are shown below:
8, 5, 2, -1
Which of the following functions best defines this sequence? (5 points)
f(n) = - 3(n-1) +8; for n 2 1
O f(n) = 3(n-1) +8; for n 2 1
O f(n) = - 5(n-1) +8; for n 2 1
f(n) = 5(n-1) +8; for n 2 1

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The first four terms of a sequence are:

8, 5, 2, -1

To find:

The function that defines the given sequence.

Solution:

We have,

8, 5, 2, -1

The differences between two consecutive terms are:

[tex]5-8=-3[/tex]

[tex]2-5=-3[/tex]

[tex]-1-2=-3[/tex]

The given sequence has a common difference -3. It means the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with first term 8 and common difference -3.

The nth terms of an arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]f(n)=a+(n-1)d[/tex], for [tex]n\geq 1[/tex]

Where, a is the first term and d is the common difference.

Putting [tex]a=8,d=-3[/tex], we get

[tex]f(n)=8+(n-1)(-3)[/tex]

[tex]f(n)=8-3(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]f(n)=-3(n-1)+8[/tex], for [tex]n\geq 1[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is A.

The company running the survey wants to construct a confidence interval estimating the proportion of all adults in the town who support the change. Which of the conditions for inference have been satisfied?

Answers

Answer: Random condition

10% condition

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditions for inference that have been satisfied will be:

• Random condition: This has been satisfied since a random sample of 18 adults were taken from 1500 adults.

• 10% condition: Since 25% of those who responded said they were in favor of the change, then the 10% condition is satisfied.

Answer: 39.4 m^2


Explanation:
The area of a circle is pi * radius squared. The diameter is 4 m, the radius is half the diameter so for the equation the radius is 2 m.

Pi times 2 is 6.28 (remember that pi is roughly 3.14), then square that sum of 6.28.

6.28^2= 39.4384

The answer is 39.44 but the answer must be rounded to the nearest tenth, 39.4384 is 39.4 rounded to the nearest tenth.

The equation of three other functions are given which function or functions have a slope equal to the slope of Function 1

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Function(s) with the same slope as function 1

The question is incomplete as function 1 and the three additional functions are not given.

However, I will provide a general explanation.

A slope is represented as:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where

[tex]m \to[/tex] slope

So, considering the following equations

[tex]y = 2x + 3[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3x}{2} + 9[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x - 5[/tex]

[tex]y = -2x + 3[/tex]

The following equations have the same slope

[tex]y = 2x + 3[/tex] and [tex]y = 2x - 5[/tex]

Because: [tex]y = mx + b[/tex] implies that:

[tex]m = 2[/tex] for [tex]y = 2x + 3[/tex] and [tex]y = 2x - 5[/tex]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

so since the whole thing should equal 180, and the right triangle is 90,

(3x+11)+(5x+15)=90 then solve for that

8x+26=90

8x=64

divide both sides by 8

so x=8

then plug in 8 for the xs so c is 3(8)+11 --> 24+11 so m<C=35*

m<D=90*

A game company gave each customer one game to test and asked whether he or she would recommend the game. What is the probability that a customer who would recommend his or her game tested Game A?

Answers

Answer:

1/2 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the game company gave each customer a single game for testing

There is definitely just two outcomes, i.e. the customer will either recommend the game or Not recommend the game.

since we do not have additional information regarding what might influence the decision of the customer, hence the probability of either recommending the tested game or not recommending the game will be equal

∴P ( recommending tested game ) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

The current in a certain resistor is 0.50A when it is connected to a potential difference of 110V. If the operating potential is 130V, the current in the same resistor is

Answers

Answer:

0.59 A

Step-by-step explanation:

The current in a certain resistor is 0.50 A

The potential difference is 110v

The operating potential is 130v

The current in the same resistor can be calculated as follows

= 110/0.50

= 220

= 130/220

= 0.59

Hence the current is 0.59 A

A tool box has the dimensions of 10 in by 4 in by 7 in. If Magnus plans to double all three dimensions to build a larger tool box, he believes he would double the volume of the tool box. Is he correct?

Answers

Answer: No. He's wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tool box has the dimensions of 10 in by 4 in by 7 in. The volume will be:

= 10 × 4 × 7

= 280in³

When the dimensions are doubled, the new dimensions will be:

10 in = 10in × 2 = 20in

4in = 4in × 2 = 8 in

7in = 7in × 2 = 14in

The volume will now be:

= 20 × 8 × 14

= 2240in³

He is wrong, the volume isn't the double of the former tool box. The double of the former tool box will give (280in³ × 2) = 560in³. This is different from the new volume.
