If the product of a number and -5 is reduced by 2, the result is 26 less than twice the opposite of the number. What is the
number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(-5n)-2=26-2n

Step-by-step explanation:

i think -9 1/3

Answer 2

well, let's say that number is "a", so it's opposite will just be "-a".

what's that number times -5?

-5*a => -5a

let's reduce that by 2

-5a -2

what would it be twice the opposite of it?

2(-a)

what is it 26 less than that?

2(-a) - 26.

[tex]-5a-2=2(-a)-26\implies -5a-2=-2a-26\implies -2=3a-26 \\\\\\ 24=3a\implies \cfrac{24}{3}=a\implies \boxed{8=a}[/tex]

Find S7
Find S17
Find Sn

Answers

Answer:

S7 = 175S17 = 2465Sn = 1/2(n³ +n)

Step-by-step explanation:

The progression of sums is ...

  1, 5, 15, 34, 65, ...

So, first differences are ...

  4, 10, 19, 31

Second differences are ...

  6, 9, 12, ...

Third differences are constant:

  3, 3, ...

This means the expression for Sn will be a cubic expression. If dn is the first of the n-th differences, then the equation can be written as ...

  Sn = S1 +(n -1)(d1 +(n -2)/2(d2 +(n -3)/3(d3)))

And this simplifies a little bit to ...

  Sn = 1 +(n -1)(4 +(n -2)(n +3)/2)

In simpler form, we have ...

  Sn = 1/2(n³ +n)

Then the two terms we're interested in are ...

  S7 = (1/2)(7³ +7) = 175

  S17 = (1/2)(17³ +17) = 2465

Each term Sₙ consists of the sum of a triangular number of terms, which are given by

[tex]T_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + n = \frac{n(n+1)}2[/tex]

The triangular numbers are given recursively for n ≥ 1 by

[tex]T_n = T_{n-1} + n[/tex]

starting with T₀ = 0.

For example,

• S₁ = 1 and

[tex]\displaystyle S_1 = \sum_{k=T_0+1}^{T_1} k = \sum_{k=1}^1 k = 1[/tex]

• S₂ = 2 + 3 and

[tex]\displaystyle S_2 = \sum_{k=T_1+1}^{T_2} k = \sum_{k=2}^3 k = 2 + 3[/tex]

• S₃ = 4 + 5 + 6 and

[tex]\displaystyle S_3 = \sum_{k=T_2+1}^{T_3} k = \sum_{k=4}^6 k = 4 + 5 + 6[/tex]

Then the n-th term of the sequence we're considering is

[tex]S_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=T_{n-1}+1}^{T_n} k = \sum_{k=T_{n-1}+1}^{T_{n-1}+n} k[/tex]

Expanding this sum, we have

[tex]S_n = \left(T_{n-1}+1\right) + \left(T_{n-1}+2\right) + \left(T_{n-1}+3\right) + \cdots + \left(T_{n-1}+n\right)[/tex]

There are n terms on the right side, and hence n copies of [tex]T_{n-1}[/tex], and the rest of the terms make up the next triangular number [tex]T_n[/tex] :

[tex]S_n = nT_{n-1} + 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + n[/tex]

[tex]S_n = nT_{n-1} + \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k[/tex]

[tex]S_n = nT_{n-1} + T_n[/tex]

We have a closed form for [tex]T_n[/tex], so we end up with

[tex]S_n = n \cdot \dfrac{(n-1)n}2 + \dfrac{n(n+1)}2 \implies \boxed{S_n=\dfrac{n^3+n}2}[/tex]

From here it's easy to find S₇ and S₁₇.

[tex]S_7 = \dfrac{7^3+7}2 \implies \boxed{S_7 = 175}[/tex]

[tex]S_{17} = \dfrac{17^3+17}2 \implies \boxed{S_{17} = 2465}[/tex]

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. The second angle is 40 degrees more than the first
angle and the third angle is 5 times the measure of the first angle. What is the measure of the largest
angle?

Answers

Answer:

100⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

First angle = x

Second angle = x + 40

Third angle = 5x

=> x + x + 40 + 5x = 180

=> 7x + 40 = 180

=> 7x = 180 - 40

=> 7x = 140

=> x = 140/7

=> x = 20

Largest angle = 5x = 5(20) = 100⁰

[tex]\huge{\purple{\underline{\underline{\bf{\pink{ANSWER:-}}}}}}[/tex]

First angle = x

Second angle = x + 40

Third angle = 5x

[tex]:\implies\bf{x + x + 40 + 5x = 180} \\ \\ :\implies\bf{7x + 40 = 180} \\ \\ :\implies\bf{7x = 180 - 40} \\ \\ :\implies\bf{7x = 140} \\ \\ :\implies\bf{x = \frac{140}{7} } \\ \\ :\implies\bf{x = 20}[/tex]

The largest angle above is 5x thus,

[tex]:\implies\bf{5x} \\ \\ :\implies\bf{5 \times 20} \\ \\ :\implies\bf{100^°}[/tex]

The 8 degree polynomial for the given roots can be written as  p(x) =  x⁸ - x⁷- 12x⁶ - 4x⁵ + 30x⁴ + 51x³ + 18x².

What is factor theorem?

The factor theorem states that for a polynomial p(x) if there exists a real number a such that p(a) = 0, then (x - a) is one of the factors of p(x).

The roots of the polynomial are given as follows,

Number of roots at -2 = 1

Number of roots at 3 = 2

Number of roots at 0 = 2

And, number of roots at -1 = 3.

Now, the polynomial can be written using factor theorem as,

p(x) = x²(x + 2)(x - 3)²(x + 1)³

      = x²(x + 2)(x²- 6x + 9)(x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1)

      = x⁸ - x⁷- 12x⁶ - 4x⁵ + 30x⁴ + 51x³ + 18x²

Hence, the polynomial for given roots can be written as p(x) =  x⁸ - x⁷- 12x⁶ - 4x⁵ + 30x⁴ + 51x³ + 18x².

Suppose a normal distribution has a mean of 79 and a standard deviation of 7. What is P(x ≥ 72)?

A. 0.84
B. 0.975
C. 0.025
D. 0.16

Answers

Approximately 65% of the distribution lies within one standard deviation of the mean, which is to say,

P(72 ≤ x ≤ 86) ≈ 0.65

Normal distributions are symmetric, so the percentage of values one standard deviation below the mean is equal to the percentage of values one standard deviation above the mean.

P(72 ≤ x ≤ 79) = P(79 ≤ x ≤ 86)

but since the sum of these make up P(72 ≤ x ≤ 86), we find

P(72 ≤ x ≤ 79) ≈ 0.65/2 = 0.325

Also due to symmetry, exactly half of the distribution lies to either side of the mean; namely,

P(x ≥ 79) = 0.5

It follows that

P(x ≥ 72) = P(72 ≤ x ≤ 79) + P(79 ≤ x)

P(x ≥ 72) = 0.325 + 0.5

P(x ≥ 72) = 0.825 ≈ 0.84
