The sequence follows a times -1 pattern: 6, -6, 6, -6. Write a formula for the (n)th term of the sequence. Your “n” term must start with 1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula for the nth term of the sequence is:

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

6, -6, 6, -6

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

Computing the ratios of all the terms of the adjacent terms

[tex]\frac{-6}{6}=-1,\:\quad \frac{6}{-6}=-1,\:\quad \frac{-6}{6}=-1[/tex]

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal

so

r = -1

so substituting r = -1 and [tex]a_1=6[/tex] in the geometric sequence

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n=6\left(-1\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

Thus, the formula for the nth term of the sequence is:

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

Suppose Lin labels the books at a constant speed of s books per minute. There can be several equations written that represent the relationship between her labeling speed and the number of minutes it would take her to finish labeling. Complete the equation below: m = _________ where m is the number of minutes and s is the speed in books per minute.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]S = \frac{b}{m}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Speed = s[/tex]

Required

Determine the expression for s

The speed is calculated as:

[tex]Speed = \frac{Number\ of\ books}{Time}[/tex]

Substitute S for speed

[tex]S= \frac{Number\ of\ books}{Time}[/tex]

Let the number of books be b and the time be m.

The expression becomes

[tex]S = \frac{b}{m}[/tex]

Hence, the expression for the scenario is:

[tex]S = \frac{b}{m}[/tex]

A company produces two different sizes of soup cans. The volume of the cans varies jointly with the square of the can's radius and the height. The smaller can has a height of 5 inches, a squared radius of 4 inches, and a volume of about 62.8 cubic inches. What is the volume of the taller can, which has a height of 9 inches and a squared radius of 4 inches? Round to the nearest tenth, as needed.
A. V=113.0
B. V=36.0
C. V=3.1
D. 91.3

Answers

Answer:

A.  V= 113 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume formula will be:

V = kr²h,

where V - volume, k - coefficient of proportion, r² - squared radius, h - height

Substitute the known values to find the unknown:

62.8 = k*4*562.8 = 20kk = 62.8/20k = 3.14

Now find the volume of the taller can:

V = kr²hV = 3.14*4*9 = 113.04 ≈ 113 in³

Correct option is A

A=113.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The slope of this line is - 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get from one red dot to another, you must go up 5 and to the left 2, because we are going left instead of right, the slope is negative. It doesn't matter which number you assign the negative sign. The entire formula for the line is y=- 5/2x - 3

Factor to find the zeros of the function:

A)
x = 4 or x = 3
B)
X = -4 or x = 3
X = 4 or x = -3
D)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 8x² + 8x - 96

y = 8(x² + x - 12)

y = 8(x + 4)(x - 3)

When y = 0, 8(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0.

hannah spends 20% of her money on sweets and 32% on fares. if she spent $8 on sweets what is:
(1) the amount of money she originally had?
(2) the amount of money spent on fares?
(3) the amount she has left?

Answers

Answer:

1) $40

2) $12.80

3) $19.20

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) find:  8 is 20% of what number

use proportion:    is   = percent

                            of           100

is = 8

of = what you're solving for, let's say 'x'

20% = 20/100

8  = 20

x       100

cross-multiply:  20x = 800

x = 40

(b)  money spent on fares:  32% of 40 is what number?

32 =   y

100      40

1280 = 100y

y = 12.80

3)  40 - (8.0 + 12.80) =  40 - 20.8 = 19.20

A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled score with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Column 2 is labeled probability with entries 0.18, 0.20, 0.26, 0.21, 0.15.

What is the mean of the distribution?

2.5
2.95
3
3.5

Answers

Answer:

The center for the distribution of scores appears to be higher for subject B than for subject A.

The mean of the distribution when  X represent the score on a randomly selected exam so here the mean be like 2.95.

Calculation of the mean:

Since

Column 1 is labeled score with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Column 2 is labeled probability with entries 0.18, 0.20, 0.26, 0.21, 0.15.

So it be like

= (0.18) (1) + (0.20) (2) + (0.26) (3) + (0.21) (4) + (0.15) (5)

= 0.18 + 0.40 + 0.78 + 0.84 + 0.75

= 2.95

Hence, the third option is correct.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points: (-2,13) and (4,1)

Answers

Answer: y = -2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Points through which the line passes through are:  (-2,13) and (4,1)

The slop intercept form will be in terms of:

y = mx + c

Find m first which is the slope:

= (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

= (1 - 13) / (4 - (-2))

= -12 / 6

= -2

Using a point on the line and the slope, calculate c which is the y intercept:

Using point  (-2,13) :

y = mx + c

13 = -2 * -2 + c

13 = 4 + c

c = 13 - 4

c = 9

Slope intercept form of line is therefore:

y = -2x + 9
