2. You are given the 3rd and 5th term of an geometric sequence. Describe how to determine the 10th term without finding the general term.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In an arithmetic sequence, the general term can be written as

xₙ = y + d(a-1), where xₐ represents the ath term, y is the first value, and d is the common difference.

Given the third term and the fifth term, and knowing that the difference between each term is d, we can say that the 4th term is x₃+d and the fifth term is the fourth term plus d, or (x₃+d)+d =

x₃+2d. =x₅ Given x₃ and x₅, we can subtract x₃ from both sides to get

x₅-x₃ = 2d

divide by 2 to isolate d

(x₅-x₃)/2 = d

This lets us solve for d. Given d, we can say that

x₃ = y+d(2)

subtract 2*d from both sides to isolate the y

x₃ -2*d = y

Therefore, because we know x₃ and d at this point, we can solve for y, letting us plug y and d into our original equation of

xₙ = y + d(a-1)

2.

Given the third and fifth term, with a common ratio of r, we can say that the fourth term is x₃ * r. Then, the fifth term is

x₃* r * r

= x₃*r² = x₅

divide both sides by x₃ to isolate the r²

x₅/x₃ = r²

square root both sides

√(x₅/x₃) = ±r

One thing that is important to note is that we don't know whether r is positive or negative. For example, if x₃ = 4 and x₅ = 16, regardless of whether r is equal to 2 or -2, 4*r² = 16. I will be assuming that r is positive for this question.

Given the common ratio, we can find x₆ as x₅ * r, x₇ as x₅*r², and all the way up to x₁₀ = x₅*r⁵. We don't know the general term, but can still find the tenth term of the sequence

Consider a study conducted to determine the average protein intake among an adult population. Suppose that a confidence level of 85% is required with an interval about 10 units wide . If a preliminary data indicate a standard deviation of 20g . What sample of adults should be selected for the study?​

Answers

Answer:

With an ageing population, dietary approaches to promote health and independence later in life are needed. In part, this can be achieved by maintaining muscle mass and strength as people age. New evidence suggests that current dietary recommendations for protein intake may be insufficient to achieve this goal and that individuals might benefit by increasing their intake and frequency of consumption of high-quality protein. However, the environmental effects of increasing animal-protein production are a concern, and alternative, more sustainable protein sources should be considered. Protein is known to be more satiating than other macronutrients, and it is unclear whether diets high in plant proteins affect the appetite of older adults as they should be recommended for individuals at risk of malnutrition. The review considers the protein needs of an ageing population (>40 years old), sustainable protein sources, appetite-related implications of diets high in plant proteins, and related areas for future research.

Answer:

(a) [tex]P" = (-4,-3)[/tex]

(b) [tex](x,y) \to (4,-8)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P = (4,3)[/tex]

Solving (a): Reflect across x and y-axis.

Reflection across x-axis has the following rules

[tex](x,y) \to (x,-y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P' = (4,-3)[/tex]

Reflection across y-axis has the following rules

[tex](x,y) \to (-x,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P" = (-4,-3)[/tex]

Hence, the new point is: (-4,-3)

Solving (b): Rx . Do,2 (2,4)

[tex]R_x \to[/tex] reflect across the x-axis

Reflection across x-axis has the following rules

[tex](x,y) \to (x,-y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](2,4) = (2,-4)[/tex] ---- when P is reflected across the x-axis

[tex]D_{o,2} \to[/tex] dilate by a scale factor of 2

The rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to 2 * (x,y)[/tex]

So, we have

A. 508 units2
B. 405 units2
C. 486 units
D. 729 units2

Answers

Answer:

The formula of the surface area of a cube is 6 x s²

→ s = 9  

→ s² = 9²  

→ s² = 81  

→ 6 x 81 = 486

So, the surface area of the cube is 486 units².

The surface area of a cube is 486 units².

What is Surface Area?

The area is the space occupied by a two-dimensional flat surface. It is expressed in square units. The surface area of a three-dimensional object is the area occupied by its outer surface.

We have to find Surface Area of Cube.

Edge length of cube = 9 unit

So, Surface area of Cube

= 6 x s²

= 6 x 9²

= 6 x 81

= 486 units².

The humidity is currently 56% and falling at a rate of 4 percentage points per hour. (a) Estimate the change in humidity over the next 20 minutes. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) -1.4 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. percentage points

Answers

Answer:

The change is of -1.3 percentage points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The humidity is currently 56% and falling at a rate of 4 percentage points per hour.

This means that after n hours the humidity is of:

[tex]H(n) = 56 - 4n[/tex]

Estimate the change in humidity over the next 20 minutes.

It currently is 56%.

20 minutes is 20/60 = 1/3 of an hours, so:

[tex]H(\frac{1}{3}) = 56 - 4\frac{1}{3} = 54.7[/tex]

Change:

54.7 - 56 = -1.3

The change is of -1.3 percentage points.

The change in humidity over the next 20 minutes falling at a rate of  4 percentage points per hour is -1.3.

The humidity is currently 56% and falling at a rate of 4 percentage points per hour.

What is the formula used to determine the change in humidity?

The change is determined by the small about of humidity changes x to x+h, so the output of x+h is the value of f at x plus the approximate change in f, that is

[tex]\rm f(x+h) =f(x) + f'(x) \times h[/tex]

f(x)= 56%

20 minutes is 20/60 = 1/3 of an hours

So, The change in humidity is

[tex]f'(x) = 4 \times 1/3[/tex]

f'(x) = 1.3

Here, it is falling at the rate of 4% point per hour so we will take it as negative as -1.3.

Three numbers form an arithmetic sequence whose
common difference is 3. If the first number is
increased by 1, the second increased by 6, and
the third increased by 19, the resulting three
numbers form a geometric sequence. Determine
the original three numbers.

Answers

Let x be the first number in the sequence. Then the first three numbers are

{x, x + 3, x + 6}

The next sentence says that the sequence

{x + 1, x + 9, x + 25}

is geometric, which means there is some fixed number r for which

x + 9 = r (x + 1)

x + 25 = r (x + 9)

Solve for r :

r = (x + 9)/(x + 1) = (x + 25)/(x + 9)

Solve for x :

(x + 9)² = (x + 25) (x + 1)

x ² + 18x + 81 = x ² + 26x + 25

8x = 56

x = 7

Then the three numbers are

{7, 10, 13}

There are 165 children taking swimming lessons at the pool. If 10 children will be assigned to each instructor, how many instructors are needed?

Answers

17 but one will have only 5 children

Answer:

17 instructors

Step-by-step explanation:

If each instructor will get 10 children, we have to divided the total number of children taking swimming lessons by the number of children assigned to each instructor (10):

165/10 = 16.5

Unfortunately, we can't have 16 and a half instructors. Since 5 children are remaining, we can round up 16.5 to 17 and get 17 instructors. This implies that 16 instructors will teach 10 children (160 in total) and 1 instructor will teach 5 children (5 in total). 160+5 = 165 total children.

prediction for when 1206 people will attend graduate school?
A. Year 15
B. Year 18
C. Year 24
D. Year 20

Answers

Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic regression model:

y = 8x² - 40x+6 ; where

y = Number of people attending graduate school ;

x = number of years

The value of x when y = 1206

The equation becomes :

1206 = 8x² - 40x+6

1206 - 6 = 8x² - 40x

1200 = 8x² - 40x

Divide through by 8

150 = x² - 5x

x² - 5x - 150 = 0

x² - 15x + 10x - 150 = 0

x(x - 15) + 10(x - 15)

x - 15 = 0 or x + 10 = 0

x = 15 or x = - 10

Number of years can't be negative,

Hence, x = 15 years
