Find the 9th term of the geometric sequence 5, -25, 125, ...

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  1,953,125

This is one single value and it is just a bit under 2 million.

Or more accurately, it's a bit over 1.9 million.

===========================================================

Explanation:

a = 5 = first termr = -5 = common ratio

Note that dividing any term by its previous term gets us the common ratio

r = term2/term1 = -25/5 = -5r = term3/term2 = 125/(-5) = -5

The r value must stay the same the entire time, or else the sequence isn't geometric.

The nth term of any geometric sequence is a*(r)^(n-1). With the 'a' and 'r' values we found, we update that to 5(-5)^(n-1)

-----------------

To verify that is the correct nth term expression, plug in various values of n to compare it with the given sequence.

If we tried n = 2 for instance, then we find the 2nd term is

5(-5)^(n-1) = 5(-5)^(2-1) = -25

which matches what your teacher gave you. I'll let you verify the other terms.

-----------------

The last thing we need to do is plug in n = 9 and simplify

5(-5)^(n-1)

5(-5)^(9-1)

5(-5)^8

5(390625)

1,953,125  this is one single value (rather than 3 separate values)

A coffee vending machine fills 100 cups of coffee before it has to be refilled. On a Monday, the mean number of ounces filled in a cup of coffee was 7.5. The machine is known to have a standard deviation in filling volume of 0.25 ounces. Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces dispensed by this machine.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces dispensed by this machine is (7.44, 7.56).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.06[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 7.5 - 0.06 = 7.44 ounces.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 7.5 + 0.06 = 7.56 ounces.

The 99% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces dispensed by this machine is (7.44, 7.56).

A factory is discharging pollution into a lake at the rate of r(t) tons per year given below, where t is the number of years that the factory has been in operation. Find the total amount of pollution discharged during the first 7 years of operation. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The total amount of pollution discharged during the first 7 years of operation is 1.955 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]r(t) = \frac{t}{t^2 + 1}[/tex]

Required

The total amount in the first 7 years

This implies that:

[tex]r(t) = \frac{t}{t^2 + 1}; [0,7][/tex]

The total amount is calculated by integrating r(t) i.e.

[tex]v = \int\limits^a_b {r(t)} \, dt[/tex]

So:

[tex]v = \int\limits^7_0 {\frac{t}{t^2 + 1}} \, dt[/tex]

--------------------------------------------------------------

We have:

[tex]t^2 + 1[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]d(t^2 + 1) = 2t[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]2t = d(t^2 + 1)[/tex]

Solve for t

[tex]t = \frac{1}{2}d(t^2 + 1)[/tex]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So:

Make t the subject

[tex]v = \int\limits^7_0 {\frac{t}{t^2 + 1}} \, dt[/tex]

[tex]v = \int\limits^7_0\frac{1}{2}* {\frac{d(t^2 + 1)}{t^2 + 1}} \, dt[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits^7_0 {\frac{d(t^2 + 1)}{t^2 + 1}} \, dt[/tex]

Integrate

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}\ln(t^2 +1)|\limits^7_0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}[\ln(7^2 +1) - \ln(0^2 +1)][/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}[\ln(50) - \ln(1)][/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}[3.91 - 0][/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}[3.91][/tex]

[tex]v = 1.955[/tex]

Which function is a translation of the parent absolute value function?
A: f(x) = 2/1
B. f(x) = |x+61
C. f(x) = x1
D. f(x) = -4/41

Answers

Answer:

B. f(x) = | x + 61 |

Step-by-step explanation:

An absolute value function is known by single vertical parenthesis demarcating the equation on both sides.

The only option with this indication is option B.

B. f(x) = | x + 61 |

This equation can be solved in two ways;

first; f(x) = - (x + 61)

second; f(x) = x + 61

Explanation:

The base is always perpendicular to the height, meaning the two form a 90 degree angle (aka right angle).

In column 1, refer to the figures as 1, 2 and 3 (working top to bottom).

In column 2, refer to the figures as A, B, C

Figure 1 matches with figure B

Figure 2 matches with figure C

Figure 3 matches with figure A.

These matches are of course the base with the proper height.

Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of beats per minute and a standard deviation of beats per minute.
a. If 1 adult female is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between beats per minute and beats per minute.
b. If 4 adult females are selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean between 68 beats per minute and 76 beats per minute.
c. Why can the normal distribution be used in heartbeat even the sample side does not exceed 30?

Answers

Answer:

a) This is the p-value of Z when X = A subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = B.

b) P-value of Z when X = 76 subtracted by the p-value of X = 68.

c) Because the underlying distribution(pulse rates of females) is normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex], standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex].

standard deviation of beats per minute.

a. If 1 adult female is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between A beats per minute and B beats per minute.

This is the p-value of Z when X = A subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = B.

b. If 4 adult females are selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean between 68 beats per minute and 76 beats per minute.

Sample of 4 means that we have [tex]n = 4, s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.5\sigma[/tex]

The formula for the z-score is:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{0.5\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 76 subtracted by the p-value of X = 68.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in heartbeat even the sample side does not exceed 30?

Because the underlying distribution(pulse rates of females) is normal.

now , we will find value of a , b, c

so,

a= 3

b= 5

c= -2

now, sum of the zeros ( alpha + beta) =-b/a

so,-5/3

now product of zeros (alpha *beta) = c/a

so, it will we -2/3
