Answer 1

Answer: (assuming the first three terms are -6, -2, 2)

(a) f(n) = 4n - 10

(b) 30

Step-by-step explanation:

(So, just as a preface, I made this answer assuming the first three terms are -6, -2, and 2 since I couldn't find a provided fourth term as the problem said)

(a) In order to create an equation for an arithmetic sequence, you need to find the common difference(d) and the 0th term. You can find the common difference by finding the difference between two consecutive terms:

2 - (-2) = 4 (or (-2) - (-6) = 4), so d = 4

Now, you need to find the 0th term. To do this, you can just subtract the d from the first term, -6:

-6 - 4 = -10.

At this point, you can write the equation:

f(n) = -10 + 4n (this is the 0th term plus the common difference, 4, times the nth term)

f(n) = 4n - 10 (reorganize by value of exponents)

(b) In order to find the 10th term, you just need to plug it into the previous equation:

where n = 10, and f(n) = 4n - 10,

f(n) = 4(10) - 10 (substitute n into the equation)

f(n) = 40 - 10 (multiply the term in the parenthesis by the constant)

f(n) = 30 (subtract)

help plz ill give extra points

Answers

The correct answer is D. An outlier on a graph is going to be a point that is either off center of the line that can be drawn or that is further away from the rest of the points. In this case the point at 0, 18 is the furthest point so therefore it must be the outlier. Noticing that at that point the length and mass of the shark is very small, it is fair to say that that shark is a newborn small shark and he is the outlier among the larger and longer sharks in the ocean.

Many consumer groups feel that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug approval process is too easy and, as a result, too many drugs are approved that are later found to be unsafe. On the other hand, a number of industry lobbyists have pushed for a more lenient approval process so that pharmaceutical companies can get new drugs approved more easily and quickly. Consider a null hypothesis that a new, unapproved drug is unsafe and an alternative hypothesis that a new, unapproved drug is safe.
a. Explain the risks of committing a Type I or Type II error.
b. Which type of error are the consumer groups trying to avoid? Explain.
c. Which type of error are the industry lobbyists trying to avoid? Explain.
d. How would it be possible to lower the chances of both Type I and Type II errors?

Answers

Answer:

A) The risk of committing Type I error would imply that an unsafe drug is approved. However, the risk of committing a Type II error would imply that a drug is safe but not approved.

B) They are trying to avoid type I error because they don't want drugs that are unsafe to be approved.

C) They are trying to avoid type II errors because the companies would have to continue testing even when the drugs are safe.

D) To lower the chances of type I error, the significance level has to be reduced and they need to make sure that the tests are run for longer periods so that a good representation of the sample size would have been tested which means we are increasing the credibility of the test results.

To lower the chances s of type II error, we have to ensure we increase the sample size and decrease the variants of the drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In errors in statistics, we can define type I error as when the null hypothesis is rejected even when it is true while a type II error is when we fail to reject the null hypothesis even when it is false.

A) The null hypothesis in this question is that a drug is unsafe. Thus, the risk of committing Type I error would imply that an unsafe drug is approved. However, the risk of committing a Type II error would imply that a drug is safe but not approved.

B) The consumer groups feel that too many approved drugs are found out later to be unsafe. Thus, they don't want drugs that are unsafe to be approved and it means they are trying to avoid type I error.

C) The error that the Industry lobbyists are trying to avoid is the Type II error. This is because the companies would have to continue testing even when the drugs are safe.

D) To lower the chances of type I error, the significance level has to be reduced and they need to make sure that the tests are run for longer periods so that a good representation of the sample size would have been tested which means we are increasing the credibility of the test results.

To lower the chances s of type II error, we have to ensure we increase the sample size and decrease the variants of the drugs.

Patty purchased rose bushes and geraniums for her yard. Patty spent $206 on 14

cost of a rose bush. What is the cost of one rose bush?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r and g represent the costs of a rose bush and a geranium, respectively. The given relations are ...

  14r +12g = 206

  g = 2r -5

Using the second equation to substitute for g in the first equation, we have ...

  14r +12(2r -5) = 206

  38r -60 = 206

  38r = 266

  r = 266/38 = 7

The cost of one rose bush is $7.

Which statements are correct about the average rate of change for the function f(x) = x2 + 9x + 18 ?

Answers

Answer:

Presumably this is a multiple choice question, and without seeing the potential answers, we can't tell you which ones are correct.

A few things can however be said about this function:

1) It describes a parabola that extends upward infinitely.  We can see this because it's in the classic format ax² + bx + c, and all terms are positive.

2) We can find the x-intercepts by solving for zero.  In this case we can do that by factoring it:

x² + 9x + 18 = 0

x² + 3x + 6x + 18 = 0

x(x + 3) + 6(x + 3) = 0

(x + 6)(x + 3) = 0

So the x intercepts occur at (-6, 0) and (-3, 0)

3) we can find its vertex by taking its derivative and solving for zero:

f'(x) = 2x + 9

0 = 2x + 9

x = -4.5

We can then plug that coordinate into the original function to find the y coordinate:

f(x) = x² + 9x + 18

f(-4.5) = 20.25 - 40.5 + 18

= -2.25

So the vertex is at (-4.5, -2.25)

4) As mentioned, the derivative of f(x) is f'(x) = 2x + 9.  The integral is:

x³ / 3 + 9x² / 2 + 18x + C

mr kabi invest k375 at a simple interest rate of 8.375 per annum what amount will his investment grow to over 4 years 8 months?​

Answers

Answer:

I am not sure

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry

The invested amount will be k 521.56 after 4 years 8 months if Mr. Kabi invests k375 at a simple interest rate of 8.375 per annum.

What is simple interest?

It is defined as the interest based on the principal amount, it does not include the compounded amount. The interest calculates on the initial amount or borrowed amount.

It is given that:

Mr Kabi invest k375 at a simple interest rate of 8.375 per annum

The invested amount = k 375

Rate of interest = 8.375 per anum

Rate of interest = 8.375/12 per month

Rate of interest = 0.6979 per month

Number of months = 4x12 + 8 = 56

As we know, the formula for the simple interest is given by:

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 375(1 + 0.6979×56)

A = k 521.56

Thus, the invested amount will be k 521.56 after 4 years and 8 months if Mr. Kabi invests k375 at a simple interest rate of 8.375 per annum.

70 club members in all

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that 14 people is equal to 20%

we also know that to get 20% to 100% you multiply by 5

So, what I did was mmultiply 14 by 5 therefore bringing 14 (20%) to 70 (100%)

hope this makes sense. for other values you could just see what to multiply the percent by to get to 100 and multiply the known number by that value.

hope this helps <3

Answer:

70 members

Step-by-step explanation:

Whatever the % is, the answer on the right side of the equation must by 14

So 20% of some number = 14.

20/100 x = 14                Remember 20% = 20 / 100. Multiply by 100

20x = 14*100

20x = 1400                   Divide by 20

x = 1400/20

x = 70

There are 70 members in the club.

Kids are done no differently.

B. {(x, y): y = x²}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a graph where every input (x-value) has one and only one output (y-value). In other words if the value for x=2, there will only be one corresponding point for y. For the function in B, that y-value would be 4. Both A and D, solve for y, means taking the square root which leaves a +/- x-value. C is absolute value of y, which means the positive and negative values for y would have the same point. Only choice B has x-values corresponding to a singular y-value. If you can remember what these graphs look like you can test if they are functions based on the vertical line test.

The function that matches the graph and the given points (7, 0) and (-8, 5) is: y = 2X + 2 + 3. (option b)

This function seems to have a typo, as it simplifies to y = 23, which is a constant value and does not depend on the variable x. This means the graph would be a horizontal line at y = 23 and would not pass through the points (7, 0) and (-8, 5).

y = 2X + 2 + 3

This function can be simplified to y = 2X + 5. Evaluating the points (7, 0) and (-8, 5) in this function:

For (7, 0):

y = 2 * 7 + 5

y = 14 + 5

y = 19

For (-8, 5):

y = 2 * (-8) + 5

y = -16 + 5

y = -11

y = 2X - 3 + 2 Y = 2ˣ + 3 + 2:

It seems there is a typo in this option with "Y" being capitalized. Assuming it is meant to be y, we have two separate functions:

a. y = 2X - 3 + 2

b. y = 2ˣ + 3 + 2

a. For y = 2X - 3 + 2:

Evaluating the points (7, 0) and (-8, 5):

For (7, 0):

y = 2 * 7 - 3 + 2

y = 14 - 3 + 2

y = 13

For (-8, 5):

y = 2 * (-8) - 3 + 2

y = -16 - 3 + 2

y = -17

b. For y = 2ˣ + 3 + 2:

Evaluating the points (7, 0) and (-8, 5):

For (7, 0):

y = 2⁷ + 3 + 2

y = 128 + 3 + 2

y = 133

For (-8, 5):

y = 2⁻⁸ + 3 + 2

y ≈ 0.004 + 3 + 2
