Answer:
[tex]S_n = \frac{3ab}{2 (b-a)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is: If the first, second and last term of an AP are a,b and 2a respectively, then show that the sum of all terms of an AP is 3ab/2(b-a).
Firstly, as we know that the nth term of an A.P. is given by the following formula;
[tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex] , where a = first term of AP, d = common difference, n = number of terms in an AP and [tex]a_n[/tex] = last term
Since it is given that the first, second and last term of an AP are a,b and 2a respectively, that means;
first term = a
d = second term - first term = b - a
[tex]a_n[/tex] = 2a
So, [tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]
[tex]2a=a+(n-1)(b-a)[/tex]
[tex]2a-a=(n-1)(b-a)[/tex]
[tex]a=(n-1)(b-a)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{a}{b-a} = n - 1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{a}{b-a} +1= n[/tex]
[tex]\frac{a+(b-a)}{b-a} = n[/tex]
[tex]n=\frac{b}{b-a}[/tex] ------------- [equation 1]
Now, the formula for the sum to n terms of an AP when the last term is given to us is;
[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}[\text{first term} + \text{last term}][/tex]
[tex]S_n = \frac{b}{2\times (b-a)}[a +2a][/tex] {using equation 1}
[tex]S_n = \frac{b}{2 (b-a)}[3a][/tex]
[tex]S_n = \frac{3ab}{2 (b-a)}[/tex]
Hence proved.

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −1 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x.
(a) Use a linear approximation to estimate g(2.95) and g(3.05).
g(2.95) =
g(3.05) =
(b) Are your estimates in part (a) too large or too small? Explain.
A) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive and the tangents are getting steeper, so the tangent lines lie below the curve. Thus, the estimates are too small.
B) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive but the tangents are becoming less steep, so the tangent lines lie below the curve. Thus, the estimates are too small.
C) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive and the tangents are getting steeper, so the tangent lines lie above the curve. Thus, the estimates are too large.
D) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive but the tangents are becoming less steep, so the tangent lines lie above the curve. Thus, the estimates are too large.
Answer:
g(2.95) ≈ -1.8; g(3.05) ≈ -0.2A) tangents are increasing in slope, so the tangent is below the curve, and estimates are too small.Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The linear approximation of g(x) at x=b will be ...
g(x) ≈ g'(b)(x -b) +g(b)
Using the given relations, this is ...
g'(3) = 3² +7 = 16
g(x) ≈ 16(x -3) -1
Then the points of interest are ...
g(2.95) ≈ 16(2.95 -3) -1 = -1.8
g(3.05) ≈ 16(3.05 -3) -1 = -0.2
__
(b) At x=3, the slope of the curve is increasing, so the tangent lies below the curve. The estimates are too small. (Matches description A.)
The monthly starting salaries of students who receive an MBA degree have a standard deviation of $110. What size sample should be selected to obtain a 0.95 probability of estimating the mean monthly income within $20 or less
Answer:
116.21Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula for calculating margin error to tackle the question.
Margin error = [tex]\frac{Z \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
Z is the value at 95% confidence
[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation
n is the sample size to be estimated
Since the mean monthly income is within $20 or less, our margin error will be $20
Given [tex]\sigma[/tex] = $110, Z value at 95% confidence = 1.96 we can calculate the sample side n.
Making n the subject of the formula from the equation above;
[tex]M.E = \frac{Z \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }\\\\\sqrt{n} = \frac{Z \sigma}{M.E } \\\\[/tex]
[tex]n = (\frac{Z \sigma}{M.E })^{2}[/tex]
Substituting the give value into the resulting expression;
[tex]n = (\frac{1.96 * 110}{20})^{2}\\\\n = (\frac{215.6}{20}) ^2\\\\n = 10.78^2\\\\n = 116.21[/tex]
This shows that the sample size that should be selected to obtain a 0.95 probability of estimating the mean monthly income within $20 or less is approximately 116.21

6.7 grams of aluminum sulfate to moles
Answer:
0.01958mol
Step-by-step explanation:
you want to go from grams to mols so when set up it looks like this
6.7 x [tex]\frac{1mol}{the mass of aluminum sulfate}[/tex]
(you want what your multiplying to cancel out with the denominator(g cancel out g so your left with mols))
to get the mass of aluminum sulfate you must first find the chemical formula which is
Al2(SO4)3
get the amount of every element
so there is:
2 Al
3 S
12 O
(multiply the three to everything inside the parenthesis)
next find the total mass of everything
Al=26.982g x 2
S=32.06g x 3
O=16g x 12
add everything together and you get 342.144g so you plug that number into the first equation
6.7 x[tex]\frac{1mol}{342.144g}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{6.7}{342.144}[/tex]→0.01958mol

Tublu buys a cylindrical water tank of height 1.4m and diameter 1.1 to catch rainwater off his roof.he has a full 2 liters tin of paint in his store and decides to paint the tank (not the base) If he uses 25ml to cover 1m^2 will he have enough paint to cover the tank with one layer of paint
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area of a cylinder is ...
LA = πdh
Putting in the given numbers, we find the area to be ...
LA = π(1.1 m)(1.4 m) ≈ 4.838 m²
At 25 mL per m², the amount of paint Tublu needs is ...
(4.838 m²)(25 mL/m²) = 120.95 mL
2 liters is 2000 mL, so Tublu easily has enough paint for one layer.
___
The amount he has is enough for more than 16 coats of paint, so he could paint inside and out with the paint he has.
Answer:
he should.

4 years ago, the population of a city was of "x" inhabitant, 2 years later, that is to say two years ago, the population of this same city was 81,000 inhabitants and today it is 65,610. Using this data, find the population of four years ago.
Answer:
The population of four years ago was 100,783 inhabitants
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of the city after t years is given by the following equation:
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]
In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the decrease rate, as a decimal.
2 years later, that is to say two years ago, the population of this same city was 81,000 inhabitants and today it is 65,610.
This means that:
[tex]P(2) = 81000, P(4) = 65610[/tex]
We are going to use this to build a system, and find P(0), which is the initial population(four years ago).
P(2) = 81000
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]81000 = P(0)(1-r)^{2}[/tex]
[tex](1-r)^{2} = \frac{81000}{P(0)}[/tex]
P(4) = 65610
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]65100 = P(0)(1-r)^{4}[/tex]
[tex]65100 = P(0)((1-r)^{2})^{2}[/tex]
Since [tex](1-r)^{2} = \frac{81000}{P(0)}[/tex]
[tex]65100 = P(0)(\frac{81000}{P(0)})^{2}[/tex]
Using P(0) = x
[tex]65100 = x(\frac{81000}{x})^{2}[/tex]
[tex]65100 = \frac{6561000000x}{x^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]65100x^{2} = 6561000000x[/tex]
[tex]65100x^{2} - 6561000000x[/tex]
[tex]x(65100x - 6561000000) = 0[/tex]
x = 0, which does not interest us, or:
[tex]65100x - 6561000000 = 0[/tex]
[tex]65100x = 6561000000[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{6561000000}{65100}[/tex]
[tex]x = 100,783[/tex]

The manufacturer of a certain brand of hot dogs claims that the mean fat content per hot dog is 20 grams. Suppose the standard deviation of the population of these hot dogs is 1.9 grams. A sample of these hot dogs is tested, and the mean fat content per hot dog of this sample is found to be 20.5 grams. Find the probability that the sample mean is at least 20.5 when the sample size is 35.
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{20.5-20}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{35}}}= 1.557[/tex]
And using the normal standard distribution and the complement rule we got:
[tex]P(z>1.557) =1-P(z<1.557) = 1-0.940 = 0.06[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we define our random variable X as "fat content per hot dog" and we know the following parameters:
[tex]\mu = 20, \sigma =1.9[/tex]
We select a sample of n=35 and we want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(\bar X>20.5)[/tex]
For this case since the sample size is >30 we can use the central limit theorem and we use the z score formula given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
Replacing we got:
[tex]z=\frac{20.5-20}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{35}}}= 1.557[/tex]
And using the normal standard distribution and the complement rule we got:
[tex]P(z>1.557) =1-P(z<1.557) = 1-0.940 = 0.06[/tex]

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! A quadrilateral with vertices (0,0), (4,0), (3,2), (1,1) is mapped to a quadrilateral with vertices (6,3).(-2,3),(0,-1),(4,1). What is the center of the dilation and what is the scale factor.
Answer:
( 2,1) is the center of dilation and -2 is the scale factor
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the formula
A' = k( x-a) +a, k( y-b)+b where ( a,b) is the center of dilation and k is the scale factor
(0,0) becomes (6,3)
( 6,3) = k( 0-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b
6 = -ka+a
3 = -kb+b
We also have
(4,0) becomes (-2,3)
( -2,3) = k( 4-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b
-2 =4k -ka+a
3 = -kb+b
Using these two equations
6 = -ka+a
-2 =4k -ka+a
Subtracting the top from the bottom
-2 =4k -ka+a
-6 = ka -a
-------------------
-8 = 4k
Divide by 4
-8/4 = 4k/4
-2 = k
Now solving for a
6 = -ka +a
6 = - (-2)a +a
6 = 2a+a
6 = 3a
Divide by 3
6/3 =3a/3
2=a
Now finding b
3 = -kb+b
3 = -(-2)b+b
3 = 2b+b
3 = 3b
b=1

There are 200,000 Men 18-34 in the television households in the market. What would be the rating for Men 18-34 for program X? Group of answer choices 47 rating points 7.5 rating points 16 rating points 23.5 rating points
Answer:
7.5 rating points
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the rating for Men 18-34 for program X is shown below:
Given that
Number of men 18 -34 watched a program X = 15,000 = X
Number of men 18 - 34 watched in a same time = 32,000
And, the total households in the market = 200,000 = Y
So, the rating for men 18-34 for program x is
[tex]= \frac{X}{Y}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{15,000}{200,000}[/tex]
= 7.5 rating points

On average, a furniture store sells four card tables in a week. Assuming a Poisson distribution for the weekly sales, the probability that the store will sell exactly seven card tables in a given week is most nearly Select one: a. 0.11 b. 0.075 c. 0.15 d. 0.060
Answer:
Assuming a Poisson distribution for the weekly sales, the probability that the store will sell exactly seven card tables in a given week is 0.060
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the probability that the store will sell exactly seven card tables in a given week we would have to calculate the following formula:
probability that the store will sell exactly seven card tables in a given week= e∧-λ*λ∧x/x!
According to the given data furniture store sells four card tables in a week, hence λ=4
Therefore, probability that the store will sell exactly seven card tables in a given week=e∧-4*4∧7/7!
probability that the store will sell exactly seven card tables in a given week=0.060
Assuming a Poisson distribution for the weekly sales, the probability that the store will sell exactly seven card tables in a given week is 0.060
Jacob and Dustin collected 245 cast for the school can job they give 55 cast to Dustin's little sister to take to her class how many cans does this leave for the boys class
Answer:
190 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cans collected by Jacob and Dustin for the school can job = 245
Amount of cans they both gave to Dustin's little sister = 55
Now because they gave out cast out of the total they initially had, there would be a deduction in the amount both boys would now have.
To determine the amount the boys are left with, we would deduct 55 casts from the amount they had which 245.
Amount of cans left = 245-55 = 190
Amount of cans left for the boys class = 190 cans
What is the circumference of the circle below? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

so
2*3.14*11 = 69.08 cm
This little difference is just because of pie's approximately value used
Of 1000 randomly selected cases of lung cancer, 823 resulted in death within 10 years.
a. Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the death rate from lung cancer.
b. Using the point estimate of p obtained from the preliminary sample, what sample size is needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.03?
c. How large must the sample be if you wish to be at least 95% confident that the error in estimating p is less than 0.03, regardless of the true value of p?
Answer:
a) [tex]0.823 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.799[/tex]
[tex]0.823 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.847[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.799;0.847)
b) [tex]n=\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=621.79[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=622
c) [tex]n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=1067.11[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=1068
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a
[tex]\hat p=\frac{823}{1000}=0.823[/tex]
In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex]. And the critical value would be given by:
[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
If we replace the values obtained we got:
[tex]0.823 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.799[/tex]
[tex]0.823 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.847[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.799;0.847)
Part b
The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex] (a)
And on this case we have that [tex]ME =\pm 0.03[/tex] and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
[tex]n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}[/tex] (b)
And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:
[tex]n=\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=621.79[/tex]

Triangle in a triangle Find the height of the building. Assume that the height of the person is 5 ft.
104 ft
building
13 ft
5 ft
Answer:
Height of the building is 40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
Height of the person DE = 5 feet
Let height of the building BC = h feet
Since, ΔABC ~ ΔADE,
Their corresponding sides will be proportional,
[tex]\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AD}{AB}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{h}=\frac{13}{104}[/tex]
h = [tex]\frac{104\times 5}{13}[/tex]
h = 40 feet
Therefore, height of the building is 40 feet.
