Consider the sequence an = 9(0.4)n. which rule defines sn? sn = 6(0.4n) sn = 9(0.4n) sn = 6(1 – 0.4n) sn = 9(1 – 0.4n)

Answers

Answer 1

The rule that the defines the sum Sn is [tex]S_n =\frac{9 * (1 - r^n )}{0.6}[/tex]

How to determine the expression for Sn?

The formula of the sequence is given as:

an = 9(0.4)^n

The above means that:

The first term, a = 9Common ratio, r = 0.4

The sum Sn is then represented as:

[tex]S_n =\frac{a(1 - r^n )}{1 - r}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]S_n =\frac{9 * (1 - r^n )}{1 - 0.4}[/tex]

Evaluate the difference and divide

[tex]S_n =\frac{9 * (1 - r^n )}{0.6}[/tex]

Hence, the rule that the defines the sum Sn is [tex]S_n =\frac{9 * (1 - r^n )}{0.6}[/tex]

Jasmine deposited $700 in an account earning 9% interest compounded annually,
To the nearest cent, how much will she have in 1 year?

Answers

At the end of one year Jasmine will have the sum of $763

Calculation of interest rate

The principal amount (P)= $700

The interest rate(R) = 9%

The period of investment (T) = 1 year

Therefore simple interest

= P×T×R/100

= 700×1×9/100

= 6300/100

= $63

Therefore, the total amount she will receive at the end of a year = 700 + 63

= $763

C(x)=2300+60x

R(x)=820x−x2

Answers

Answer:

$ 142100

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost

        P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

                = 820x - x² - (2300 + 60x)

                = 820x - x² - 2300 - 60x

                = -x² + 820x - 60x - 2300

         P(x) = -x² + 760x - 2300

We can find the maximum profit of the company by finding the maximum of the parabolic function.

a =  -1   ; b = 760  and c = -2300

       [tex]\sf \boxed{P_{max} = c - \dfrac{b^2}{4a}}[/tex]

                  [tex]\sf = -2300 - \dfrac{760^{2}}{4*(-1)}[/tex]

                  [tex]\sf = -2300 +\dfrac{577600}{4}\\\\ = -2300 + 144400\\= 142100[/tex]

2x2 + 14x − 2 = 0
3x2 + 10x − 8 = 0
4x2 + 10x − 2 = 0
x2 + 7x − 8 = 0

Answers

Answer:

Represent the thickness of the frame by x.

Framing the mirror will increase both its length and width by 2x. The area of the mirror with the frame is the product of the length and width which can mathematically be expressed as,

A = (3+2x)(2+2x) = 8

The equation above can be simplified into 4x^2 + 10x -2=0.

c) (4, 0) and (-0.6, 0)
d) (4, 0) and (0.6, 0)

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x² - 17x - 12

to find the roots let y = 0 , that is

5x² - 17x - 12 = 0

Factorising the quadratic

consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 5 × - 12 = - 60 and sum = - 17

the factors are - 20 and + 3

use these factors to split the x- term

5x² - 20x + 3x - 12 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

5x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4) = 0 ← factor out (x - 4) from each term

(x - 4)(5x + 3) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

5x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 5x = - 3 ⇒ x = - [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] = - 0.6

roots are (4, 0 ) and (- 0.6, 0 )

how to find a length with perimeter 400cm and breadth 50cm.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Asuming object is a rectangle. We know that to find the perimeter of a rectangle we must add all the sides.

Therefore the formula wound be "b + b + l + l". To simplify this equation we can goup the similar sides as "2b + 2l".

Since we know the perimeter of the rectangle lets equate this simplified formula to 400:

2b + 2l = 400

Now because we know the breath lets replace it with the b position in tge formula.

2(50) + 2l = 400

Now lets use simple algebra to solve.

100 + 2l = 400

2l = 400 - 100

2l = 300

l = 150

Therefore, the lenght is 150cm

-12x-2y = -4
How many solutions does this linear system have?
O one solution: (0, 0)
O one solution: (1,-4)
Ono solution
O infinite number of solutions

Answers

Answer:

infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations:

y = -6x+2-12x - 2y = -4

Rearrange the second equation to make y the subject:

⇒ -12x - 2y = -4

⇒ -12x - 2y + 2y = -4 + 2y

⇒ -12x = -4 + 2y

⇒ -12x + 4 = -4 + 2y + 4

⇒ -12x + 4 = 2y

⇒ (-12x + 4) ÷ 2 = 2y ÷ 2

⇒ y = -6x + 2

Comparing the rearranged equation with the first equation, we can see that both equations are the same.  

Therefore, as there is only one line, there are an infinite number of solutions.

If the sum is 6, the vacation destination will be London. If the sum is 7, the vacation destination will be Alaska. If the sum is 10, the vacation destination will be New Mexico. If the sum is 8, 9 or 12, the vacation destination will be Puerto Rico.

If the sum is 10, the vacation destination will be London. If the sum is 7, the vacation destination will be Alaska. If the sum is 9, the vacation destination will be New Mexico. If the sum is 6, 8 or 12, the vacation destination will be Puerto Rico.

Answers

Answer:

If the sum is 6, the vacation destination will be London.

If the sum is 7, the vacation destination will be Alaska.

If the sum is 9, the vacation destination will be New Mexico.

If the sum is 8, 10 or 12, the vacation destination will be Puerto Rico.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a sample space for the 2 spins (see attached).

From the sample space, the probabilities are:

P(sum is 6) = 4/16P(sum is 7) = 4/16P(sum is 8) = 1/16P(sum is 9) = 4/16P(sum is 10) = 2/16P(sum is 12) = 1/16

Therefore, to make a fair decision:

As the sum of 6, 7 and 9 each have equal probabilities (4/16), they should each be attritbuted to one destination.

As the sum of 8, 10 and 12 combined equal the same probability as the sum of 6, 7, and 9 individually, the sum of 8, 10 and 12 should be assigned to one destination combined.

Solution

If the sum is 6, the vacation destination will be London.

If the sum is 7, the vacation destination will be Alaska.

If the sum is 9, the vacation destination will be New Mexico.

If the sum is 8, 10 or 12, the vacation destination will be Puerto Rico.

Suppose a car rental firm wants to estimate the average number of kilometers traveled per day by each of its cars rented in a certain city. A random sample of 20 cars rented in that city reveals that the sample mean travel distance per day is 85.5 kilometers, with a population standard deviation of 19.3 kilometers. Compute a 99% confidence interval to estimate Q. (2 points) Interpret your answer. (1 point)​

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 99% confidence interval to estimate Q is (74.4, 96.6). The interpretation is that we are 99% sure that the true mean for all cars rented in the city is between these two values.

What is a z-distribution confidence interval?

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the population.

In this problem, we have a 99% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.99[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so the critical value is z = 2.575.

The other parameters of the interval are given as follows:

[tex]\overline{x} = 85.5, \sigma = 19.3, n = 20[/tex].

Hence the bounds of the interval are given as follows:

[tex]\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 85.5 - 2.575\frac{19.3}{\sqrt{20}} = 74.4[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 85.5 + 2.575\frac{19.3}{\sqrt{20}} = 96.6[/tex]

The interpretation is that we are 99% sure that the true mean for all cars rented in the city is between these two values.

Density = mass/volume

Given the following

Mass of block = 82.8grams

Density = 0.69g/cm^3

volume = lwh
Volume = 20h

Substitute

0.69 = 82.8/20h

Candle A and candle B were lit at the same time. candle a could last 3 hours and candle b could last 5 hours. after 1 hour, both candles were equal in length.

Then the ratio of the length of the candle A to the length of candle B at first will be

Let the length of candle A is x and the length of candle B be y.
