Indicate the general rule for this sequence. Find a1 and the common difference. a4 = 18 a7 = 9

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a_{n} = 27 - 3(n-1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequences concepts:

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is the following:[tex]a_{n+1} = a_{n} + d[/tex]

In which d is the common diference between each term.

We can expand the general equation to find the nth term from the first, by the following equation:

[tex]a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)*d[/tex]

And also:

[tex]a_{n} = a_{m} + (n-m)*d[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]a_{4} = 18, a_{7} = 9[/tex]

Finding the common ratio:

[tex]a_{n} = a_{m} + (n-m)*d[/tex]

[tex]a_{7} = a_{4} + (7-4)*d[/tex]

[tex]9 = 18 + 3d[/tex]

[tex]3d = -9[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{-9}{3}[/tex]

[tex]d = -3[/tex]

Finding the first term:

[tex]a_{4} = a_{1} + (4-1)*d[/tex]

[tex]18 = a_{1} + 3*(-3)[/tex]

[tex]a_{1} = 27[/tex]

General rule:

[tex]a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)*d[/tex]

[tex]a_{n} = 27 - 3(n-1)[/tex]

Cr materials                                            $236,250

Cr direct material quantity variance      $ 5,250.00  

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the materials using standard price per pound of $10.5 is computed below:

standard cost=4,600*5*$10.5=$241,500.00  

The above is debited to work in process account.

The actual cost of materials used =22,500*$10.5=$236,250.00  

Since the actual cost materials is $ 236,250.00  ,the materials ledger is credited with $ 236,250.00  

The direct material quantity variance=$241,500-$236,250=$5,250  

what’s the length of the tunnel?

Answers

Answer:

  3.40 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two sides and the angle between them, the Law of Cosines is useful for finding the remaining side of the triangle.

If we call the vertices of the triangle H, P, Y, then the Law of Cosines tells you ...

  HY² = HP² +YP² -2HP·YP·cos(P)

  HY² = 6² +7² -2·6·7·cos(29°) = 85 -84·cos(29°) ≈ 11.531944

  HY ≈ √11.531944 ≈ 3.40 . . . .  km

The length of the tunnel is about 3.40 km.

An outdoor club conducted a survey of its members. The members were asked to state their preference between skiing and snowboarding. Each member had to pick one. Of the 60 males, 45 stated they preferred to snowboard. Twenty-two of the 60 females preferred to ski. What is the relative frequency that a male prefers to ski?

Answer:

Answers

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Number of males = 60

Number of stated preferred to snowboard = 45

Number of females preferred to ski = 22

Based on the above information, the relative frequency male preferred to ski is

Before computing this first we have to calculate the number of ski picked which is

= Number of males - Number of stated preferred to snowboard

= 60 - 45

= 15

Now the relative frequency is

[tex]= \frac{Number\ of\ ski}{Number\ of\ males}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{15}{60}[/tex]

= 0.25

Answers

Hello there!

35/100 watch more then 10 hours a week

3000 is 30 times greater than 100 so we can simply multiply 35/100 by 30.

35/100 x 30 = 1050/3000

Therefore, if the company had 3,000 subscribers, 1,050 subscribers would be watching more than 10 hours a week.

Answers

AB=6cm AC=12cm

AC² = AB + BC²

12² = 6² + CB²

CB² = 12² - 6²

CB² = 144 - 36

CB² = 108

CB = √ 108 cm.

sin 55° = CB / CD

0.81915 = √108 / CD

CD = 10.392 / 0.81915

CD = 12.686 cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This was a question on mathswatch, so I’ve done this.

You need to round to 3 significant numbers

AB=6cm AC=12cm

AC² = AB + BC²

12² = 6² + CB²

CB² = 12² - 6²

CB² = 144 - 36

CB² = 108

CB = √ 108 cm.

sin 55° = CB / CD

0.81915 = √108 / CD

CD = 10.392 / 0.81915

CD = 12.686 cm

CD = 12.7 cm

Working alone, Dan can sweep a porch in
15 minutes. Alberto can sweep the same
porch in 11 minutes. If they worked
together how long would it take them?​

Answers

Answer:

It will take them 6.35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be solved when you know how much of the job can be done in minutes.

Therefore if Dan can do the job in 15 minutes he will be to sweep 1/15 of the porch in 1 minutes. Alberto can do the same job in 11 minutes, in 1 minutes he will do 1/11 of the job.

let

a = combined time together

1/15 + 1/11 = 1/a

(11 + 15)/165 = 1/a

26/165 = 1/a

cross multiply

26a = 165

divide both sides by 26

a = 165/26

a = 6.34615384615

a ≈ 6.35 minutes

It will take them 6.35 minutes

The Department of Highway Improvements, responsible for repairing a 25-mile stretch of interstate highway, wants to design a surface that will be structurally efficient. One important consideration is the volume of heavy freight traffic on the interstate. State weigh stations report that the average number of heavy-duty trailers traveling on a 25-mile segment of the interstate is 72 per hour. However, the section of highway to be repaired is located in an urban area and the department engineers believe that the volume of heavy freight traffic for this particular section is greater than the average reported for the entire interstate.
To validate this theory, the department monitors the highway for 50 1-hour periods randomly selected throughout the month. Suppose the sample mean and standard deviation of the heavy freight traffic for the 50 sampled hours are:
Sample mean = 74.1 standard deviation = 13.3
a) Do the data support the department's theory? Use α = 0.10 to come to a conclusion based on a large sample test.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{74.1-72}{\frac{13.3}{\sqrt{50}}}=1.116[/tex]    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

[tex]df=n-1=50-1=49[/tex]  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

[tex]p_v =P(t_{(49)}>1.116)=0.135[/tex]  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided of 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 72 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

[tex]\bar X=74.1[/tex] represent the sample mean

[tex]s=13.1[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation

[tex]n=50[/tex] sample size  

[tex]\mu_o =72[/tex] represent the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha=0.1[/tex] represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to analyze if the true mean for this case is higher than 72, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 72[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 72[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]  (1)  

Replacing the info we got:

[tex]t=\frac{74.1-72}{\frac{13.3}{\sqrt{50}}}=1.116[/tex]    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

[tex]df=n-1=50-1=49[/tex]  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

[tex]p_v =P(t_{(49)}>1.116)=0.135[/tex]  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided of 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 72 per hour.

The commutative property of multiplication lets you swap the order of the factors in the product:

  (8 +7)•11 = 11•(8 +7)

The distributive property lets you eliminate parentheses:

  (8 +7)•11 = 8•11 +7•11

There is a bag filled with 3 blue, 4 red and 5 green marbles.
A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is replaced.
Another marble is taken at random.
What is the probability of exactly 1 red?

Answers

Answer:

22.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is exactly a red, it means that it is removed on the first or second attempt, but only once, in this case it does not matter if it is on the first or second attempt because the marble is returned to the bag.

So suppose that on the first attempt red is drawn, the probability would be:

4 / (3 + 4 + 5) = 4/12 = 1/3

Now, on the second attempt, it is not to draw a red, it must be green or blue, so it would be:

(5 + 3) / (3 + 4 + 5) = 8/12 = 2/3

The final probability then is:

1/3 * 2/3 = 0.2222

that is, the probability is 22.22%

An element with a mass of 740 grams decays by 28.4% per minute. To the nearest minute, how long will it be until there are 30 grams of the element remaining?

Answers

Answer:t=9.6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mass of element is [tex]A_o=740\ gm[/tex]

Decay rate [tex]r=28.4\%\ \text{per minute}[/tex]

and we know

Amount of exponential decay is given by

[tex]A=A_o[1-r]^t[/tex]

Where [tex]A_0=\text{Initial amount}[/tex]

[tex]\text{A=Accumulated amount}[/tex]

[tex]\text{r=rate}[/tex]

[tex]\text{t=time}[/tex]

Substituting values we get

[tex]\Rightarrow 30=740[1-0.284]^t[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{30}{740}=0.716^t[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 0.0405=0.716^t[/tex]

taking log both sides we get

[tex]\Rightarrow\ \ln (0.0405)=t\times \ln (0.716)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{\ln (0.0405)}{\ln (0.716)}[/tex]
