The general term
The given sequence is geometric.
So first, we calculate the common ratio (r)
[tex]r = T_2/T_1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]r = 1/4 \div 1[/tex]
[tex]r = 1/4[/tex]
The function is then calculated using:
[tex]T_n =T_1 * r^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
William invested $12,000 in a bank account that pays 9 percent simple interest. His friend invested the same amount at another bank that pays 8 percent interest compounded quarterly. These two functions, where t is time in years, represent the value of the investments: f(t) = 12(1.02)4t g(t) = 12(1.09)t The functions are graphed, and the point of intersection lies between 0.5 and 1.2. Based on the table, approximately how long will it be until both investments have the same value? Value of t f(t) = 12(1.02)4t g(t) = 12(1.09)t 0.5 12.48 6.54 0.6 12.58 7.84 0.7 12.68 9.16 0.8 12.79 10.46 0.9 12.89 11.87 1.0 12.99 13.08 1.1 13.09 14.39 1.2 13.20 15.70 A. 0.9 year B. 1.0 year C. 1.1 years D. 1.2 years
===========================================================
Explanation:
We have these two functions
f(t) = 12(1.02)^(4t)g(t) = 12(1.09)twhich represent the amounts for his friend and William in that order. Strangely your teacher mentions William first, but then swaps the order when listing the exponential function as the first. This might be slightly confusing.
The table of values is shown below. We have t represent the number of years and t starts at 0.5. It increments by 0.1
The f(t) and g(t) columns represent the outputs for those mentioned values of t. For example, if t = 0.5 years (aka 6 months) then f(t) = 12.48 and that indicates his friend has 12,480 dollars in the account.
I've added a fourth column labeled |f - g| which represents the absolute value of the difference of the f and g columns. If f = g, then f-g = 0. The goal is to see if we get 0 in this column or try to get as close as possible. This occurs when we get 0.09 when t = 1.0
So we don't exactly get f(t) and g(t) perfectly equal, but they get very close when t = 1.0
It turns out that the more accurate solution is roughly t = 0.9925 which is close enough. I used a graphing calculator to find this approximate solution.
It takes about a year for the two accounts to have the same approximate amount of money.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
the percentage of people under the age of 18 was 23.5% in New York City, 25.8% in Chicago, and 26% in Los Angeles.
If one person is selected from each city, what is the probability that all of them are under 18?
Answer:
0.0158 = 1.58% probability that all of them are under 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of independent events:
If three events, A, B and C are independent, the probability of all happening is the multiplication of the probabilities of each happening, that is:
[tex]P(A \cap B \cap C) = P(A)P(B)P(C)[/tex]
The percentage of people under the age of 18 was 23.5% in New York City, 25.8% in Chicago, and 26% in Los Angeles.
This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.235, P(B) = 0.258, P(C) = 0.26[/tex]
If one person is selected from each city, what is the probability that all of them are under 18?
Since the three people are independent:
[tex]P(A \cap B \cap C) = 0.235*0.258*0.26 = 0.0158[/tex]
0.0158 = 1.58% probability that all of them are under 18.

The functions f (x) = 1/2x-3 and g(x) = -2x+ 2 intersect
at x = -2. True or false?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-2) = (1/2)(-2) -3 = -1 -3 = -4
g(-2) = -2(-2) +2 = 4 +2 = 6
The function values are not the same at x=-2, so the graphs do not intersect there.

A point is selected at random from a line segment of length l, dividing it into two line segments. What is the probability that the longer line segment is at least three times as long as the shorter segment
Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be the length of the shorter line segment and b be the length of the longer line segment.
Since the length of the line segment is l, we have that the length of the line segment equals length of shorter line segment + length of longer line segment.
So, l = a + b
Since we require that the longer line segment be at least three times longer than the shorter line segment, we have that b = 3a
So, l = a + b
l = a + 3a
l = 4a
The probability that the shorter line segment will be a(or 3 times shorter than b) is P(a) = length of shorter line segment/length of line segment = a/l
Since l = 4a.
a/l = 1/4
So, P(a) = 1/4
The probability that a will be less than 3 times shorter that b is P(a ≤ 1) = P(0) + P(a) = 0 + 1/4 = 1/4
The probability that b will be 3 times or more greater than a is thus P(b ≥ 3) = 1 - P(a ≤ 1) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
A bag has 6695 blue marbles and 6696 red marbles. We repeatedly remove 2 marbles from the bag. If the two chosen marbles are of the same color then we put 1 new red marble in the bag (after removing the 2 chosen marbles). If the two marbles are of different colors then we put one new blue marble in the bag. What will be the color of the last marble in the bag
9514 1404 393
Answer:
blue
Step-by-step explanation:
If two red marbles are removed, 1 red is returned. The number of reds is reduced by 1, and the number of blues is unchanged.
If two blue marbles are removed, 1 red is returned. The number of reds is increased by 1, and the number of blues is decreased by 2.
If one of each is removed, one blue is returned. The number of reds is reduced by 1, and the number of blues is unchanged.
So, at each step, the number of blue marbles is unchanged or reduced by 2. That is, it only changes by an even number. The number of blues is initially odd, so can never reach zero.
The last marble in the bag is blue.
six options. Each of these six options leads to a menu with four options. For each of these four options, three more options are available. For each of these three options, another three options are presented. If a person calls the 800 number for assistance, how many total options are possible
Answer:
Hence the total number of possible options available to a person who calls the 800 number is 216.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the caller 10 800 telephone system has six options. For each of these four options, three more options are available. For each of these three options, another three options are presented.
Hence the total number of possible options available to a person who calls the 800 number = [tex]6 \times 4 \times 3 \times 3 = 216[/tex].

Questions 24-25. In 1963, postage was 5 cents per ounce. In 1981, postage was 18 cents per ounce.
If the trend had continued through to 2015, what would the postage per ounce be?
(round to the nearest central
The answer posted "42.55" is incorrect.
Answer:
The postage per ounce would be of $2.02.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential model:
The postage, in t years after 1963, follows the following format:
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]
In which P(0) is the initial value and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.
In 1963, postage was 5 cents per ounce.
This means that [tex]P(0) = 5[/tex]
So
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]
[tex]P(t) = 5(1+r)^t[/tex]
In 1981, postage was 18 cents per ounce.
This means that [tex]P(1981 - 1963) = P(18) = 18[/tex]. We use this to find r. So
[tex]P(t) = 5(1+r)^t[/tex]
[tex]18 = 5(1+r)^{18}[/tex]
[tex](1+r)^{18} = \frac{18}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt[18]{(1+r)^{18}} = \sqrt[18]{3.6}[/tex]
[tex]1 + r = (3.6)^{\frac{1}{18}}[/tex]
[tex]1 + r = 1.0738[/tex]
So
[tex]P(t) = 5(1.0738)^t[/tex]
If the trend had continued through to 2015, what would the postage per ounce be?
2015 - 1963 = 52, so this is P(52).
[tex]P(52) = 5(1.0738)^{52} = 202[/tex]
202 cents, so $2.02.
Suppose 41% of the students in a university are baseball players. If a sample of 524 students is selected, what is the probability that the sample proportion of baseball players will be greater than 44%
Answer:
"0.0808" is the appropriate response.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
n = 524
[tex]\hat{P}[/tex] = 41%
or,
= 0.41
[tex]1-\hat{P}=1-0.41[/tex]
[tex]=0.59[/tex]
[tex]\mu \hat{P}=\hat{P}[/tex]
[tex]=0.41[/tex]
Now,
⇒ [tex]6 \hat{P}=\sqrt{\frac{\hat {P}(1-\hat{P})}{n} }[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{0.41\times 0.59}{524} }[/tex]
[tex]=0.0215[/tex]
[tex]P(\hat {P}>44 \ percent)[/tex]
or,
[tex]P(\hat{P}>0.44)[/tex]
[tex]=1-P(\hat{P}<0.44)[/tex]
[tex]=1-P(\frac{\hat{P}-\mu \hat{P}}{6 \hat{P}} <\frac{0.44-0.41}{0.0215} )[/tex]
[tex]=1-P(z<1.40)[/tex]
By using the standard normal table, we get
[tex]=1-0.9192[/tex]
[tex]=0.0808[/tex]
A charter school did a local beach cleanup. They collected a total of 55 pounds of plastic bottles and aluminum cans. The California refund value for plastic is $1.60 per pound and $1.28 per pound for aluminum. The school recycled a total of $77.60 worth of plastic and aluminum. How many pounds of each, plastic and aluminum, did the class collect?
Answer:
Plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
total junk = 55 pounds
Value of plastic = $ 1.60 per pound
Value of aluminum = $ 1.28 per pound
Total value= $ 77.60
Let the plastic is p and the aluminum is 55 - p.
Total cost
77.60 = 1.6 p + (55 - p) x 1.28
77.60 = 1.6 p + 70.4 - 1.28 p
7.2 = 0.32 p
p = 22.5 pounds
So, plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Due to a sale at Macy's you only have to pay 2/3 of the original price of a blouse. your price AFTER the discount $120. What was the original price? Explain how you arrived at this answer.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
$180
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between the prices is said to be ...
(amount you pay) = 2/3 × (original price)
To find the original price, multiply the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the (original price).
(3/2)×(amount you pay) = (3/2)(2/3)(original price) = (original price)
(3/2)×$120 = original price = $180

-2,6,-18,54, what is the common ratio of the sequence
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Common Ratio=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find any common ratio in a sequence, always take the second number in the sequence and divide it by the first number. However, you must be careful because the common ratio should only be negative if the values in the sequence are alternating between negative and positive. Therefore, if the sequence of numbers is simply decreasing in value, this does not mean that the common ratio is negative. The common ratio would still be positive. If the sequence is decreasing in value, this means that the common ratio would be a fraction or a decimal less than one.
