Suppose a term of a geometric sequence is a4 = 121.5 and the common ratio is 3. Write the formula for this sequence in the form an = a1 ⋅ rn−1. Explain how you arrived at your answer.
Answer:
[tex]a_n = 4.5 * 3^{n-1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]a_4 = 121.5[/tex]
[tex]r = 3[/tex]
Required
[tex]a_n = a_1 * r^{n -1}[/tex]
Substitute 4 for n in [tex]a_n = a_1 * r^{n -1}[/tex]
[tex]a_4 = a_1 * r^{4 -1}[/tex]
[tex]a_4 = a_1 * r^3[/tex]
Substitute 121.5 for [tex]a_4[/tex]
[tex]121.5 = a_1 * 3^3[/tex]
[tex]121.5 = a_1 * 27[/tex]
Solve for a1
[tex]a_1 = \frac{121.5}{27}[/tex]
[tex]a_1 = 4.5[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]a_n = a_1 * r^{n -1}[/tex]
[tex]a_n = 4.5 * 3^{n-1}[/tex]
Answer:
First I substituted 121.5 for an, 4 for n, and 3 for r in the general form. Then I solved to find a1 = 4.5. Finally, I substituted 4.5 for a1 and 3 for r in the general form to get an = 4.5 ⋅ 3n−1.

Question 8
Points 3
Identify the functions whose lines are parallel.
0 3x + 2y = 45 and 8x + 4y = 135
x + y = 25 and 2x + y = 15
O 2x + 2y = 50 and 4x + 2y = 90
O 2x + 2y = 4 and 4x + 4y = 16
Answer:
2x + 2y = 4 and 4x + 4y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope.
To determine the correct answer to the question, we shall determine the slope of each equation in the given options to see which have the same slope. This can be obtained as follow:
1st option:
3x + 2y = 45 and 8x + 4y = 135
We shall rearrange the above equations to look like y = mx + c
NOTE: m is the slope.
3x + 2y = 45
rearrange
2y = –3x + 45
Divide both side by 2
y = –3x/2 + 45/2
Slope (m) = –3/2
8x + 4y = 135
Rearrange
4y = –8x + 135
Divide both side by 4
y = –8x/4 + 135/4
Slope (m) = –8/4 = –2
The two equation has different slopes. Thus, they are not parallel.
2nd option:
x + y = 25 and 2x + y = 15
x + y = 25
Rearrange
y = –x + 25
Slope (m) = –1
2x + y = 15
Rearrange
y = –2x + 15
Slope (m) = –2
The two equations has different slopes. Thus, they are not parallel.
3rd option:
2x + 2y = 50 and 4x + 2y = 90
2x + 2y = 50
Rearrange
2y = –2x + 50
Divide both side by 2
y = –2x/2 + 50/2
Slope (m) = –2/2 = –1
4x + 2y = 90
Rearrange
2y = –4x + 90
Divide both side by 2
y = –4x/2 + 90/2
Slope (m) = –4/2 = –2
The two equations has different slopes. Thus, they are not parallel.
4th option:
2x + 2y = 4 and 4x + 4y = 16
2x + 2y = 4
Rearrange
2y = –2x + 4
Divide both side by 2
y = –2x/2 + 4/2
Slope (m) = –2/2 = –1
4x + 4y = 16
Rearrange
4y = –4x + 16
Divide both side by 4
y = –4x/4 + 16/4
Slope (m) = –4/4 = –1
The two equations have the same slopes. Thus, they are parallel.

Answer:
x=70
y=30
z=20
Step-by-step explanation:
x=180-110 (angles on a straight line)
y=180-110-40 (angle sum of triangle)
z= 180-90-70 (angle sum of triangle)
Answer:
x=70°
y=30°
z=20°
Step-by-step explanation:
x=180°-110°(anlges on a straight line)
x=70°
y+110°+40°=180°(sum of angles of triangle)
y+150°=180°
y=180°-150°
y=30°
z+x+90°=180°(sum of angles of triangle)
z+70°+90°=180°
z+160°=180°
z=180°-160°
z=20°
On a map of a town, 3 cm represents 150 m. Two points in the town are 1 km apart. How far apart are the two points on the map?
Answer:
5000 km
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
3 cm represents on a map of a town=150 m
Distance between two points=1 km
We have to find the distance between two points on the map.
3 cm represents on a map of a town=150 m
1 cm represents on a map of a town=150/3 m
1 km=1000 m
1 m=100 cm
[tex]1km=1000\times 100=100000 cm[/tex]
100000 cm represents on a map of a town
=[tex]\frac{150}{3}\times 100000[/tex] m
100000 cm represents on a map of a town=5000000 m
100000 cm represents on a map of a town
=[tex]\frac{5000000}{1000} km[/tex]
100000 cm represents on a map of a town=5000 km
Hence, two points are separated by 5000 km on the map.

that goes through points (0, 13)(0,13) and (5, 416)(5,416).
Hello!
[tex]\large\boxed{y = 13(2)^x}}[/tex]
y = abˣ
We know that at x = 0, b = 1 because any number to the power of 0 = 1.
Therefore:
13 = a(1)
13 = a
Now, plug in this value to solve for b:
y = 13bˣ
Substitute in the next point:
416 = 13(b)⁵
Divide both sides by 13:
32 = b⁵
Take the 5th root of both sides:
2 = b
Rewrite:
y = 13(2)ˣ

Suppose a life insurance company sells a $240,000 one-year term life insurance policy to a 19-year-old female for $240. The probability that the female survives the year is 0.999578. Compute and interpret the expected value of this policy to the insurance company. The expected value is $ (Round two decimal places as needed.)
Answer:
$138.72
Step-by-step explanation:
(1-0.999578)*$240,000 = $101.28
$240 - $101.28 = $138.72
Explain why the following function is not piecewise continuous
9514 1404 393
Answer:
the function has no finite limit at the left end of the interval (5, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for the function to be piecewise continuous, it must have finite limits at the endpoints of each of the subintervals. Here, the function goes to infinity as x → 5+, so has no finite limit there.
Here are the test scores for 8 students in Mr. M's class. 87, 55, 96, 38, 83, 64, 44, 81. What is the percentage of these test scores that are less than 84?
Answer:
75%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the score of 8 students in Mr. M's class are 87, 55, 96, 38, 83, 64, 44, 81, the scores less than 84 are 55, 38, 83, 64, 44, 81.
These means that 6 student had scores less that 84 of the 8 students hence the percentage of these test scores that are less than 84
= 6/8 * 100%
= 75%
This means that 75% of the students had scores less than 84
The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 87 millimeters and the standard deviation is 6 millimeters. Find the probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimeters. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
69.14% probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question,
Given That, The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 87 millimeters and the standard deviation is 6 millimeters. Find the probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimeters.
In a set with mean and standard deviation, the Z score of a measure X is given by Z = (X-μ)/σwe have μ=87 , σ=6 & X=84
Find the probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimetersThis is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 84.
So, Z = (84-87)/6
Z = -3/6
Z = -0.5 has a p-value of 0.30854.
⇒1 - 0.30854 = 0.69146
0.69146 = 69.14% probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 84 millimeters.Note- (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)
Given sets X, Y, Z, and U, find the set Xn(X - Y) using the listing method.
X = {d, c, f, a}
Y = {d, e, c}
Z ={e, c, b, f, g}
U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}
Answer:
{f, a}
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sets:
X = {d, c, f, a}
Y = {d, e, c}
Z ={e, c, b, f, g}
U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}
To obtain the set X n (X - Y)
We first obtain :
(X - Y) :
The elements in X that are not in Y
(X - Y) = {f, a}
X n (X - Y) :
X = {d, c, f, a} intersection
(X - Y) = {f, a}
X n (X - Y) = elements in X and (X - Y)
X n (X - Y) = {f, a}

g Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15, find the probability of a positive result for two samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?
Solution :
The objective is to obtain the [tex]\text{probability of a positive result}[/tex] for 2 samples combined into a [tex]\text{mixture}[/tex].
Given that the [tex]\text{probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15}[/tex]
The probability of the positive test result is calculated as follows :
P ( positive mixture ) = P(1 or more samples positive)
= 1 - P (none +ve)
= 1 - P ((-ve) x (-ve))
[tex]$= 1-P(-ve )^2$[/tex]
[tex]$=1-[1-P(+ve)]^2$[/tex]
[tex]$=1-(1-0.15)^2$[/tex]
[tex]$=1-(0.85)^2$[/tex]
= 1 - 0.7225
= 0.2775
No, the probability is not low enough.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function is,
[tex]r(x)=\frac{3x^3-7}{x^2-6x+9}[/tex]
For x = 0, substitute the value of x in the given function.
[tex]r(0)=\frac{3(0)^3-7}{(0)^2-6(0)+9}[/tex]
[tex]r(0)=\frac{-7}{9}[/tex]
For r = 3,
