Answer:

  3. yes: a[1] = -8, a[n] = a[n-1] +7; an = -8 +7(n -1)

  4. no (no common difference)

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is one in which each term has the same difference from the term before it.

__

3. -1 -(-8) = 7; 6 -(-1) = 7; 13 -6 - 7. The differences are all 7, so the terms have a common difference. This sequence is arithmetic.

The general form of the recursive rule for an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...

  a[1] = a1; a[n] = a[n-1] +d . . . . . recursive rule

  a[1] = -8; a[n] = a[n-1] +7

The general form of the explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

  an = -8 +7(n -1)

__

4. The differences are ...

  8 -1 = 7; 27 -8 = 19; 81 -27 = 54 . . . the differences are not common

This sequences is not arithmetic.

Find the area of right triangle def,round to nearest tenth if necessary D(-6,-1),E(1,-3),F(3,4)
HELP

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two of the legs will be at right angles to each other and have negative reciprocal slopes. Area will be half of the product of these two legs.

slope of DE (-3 - (-1)) / (1 - (-6)) = -2/7

slope of EF (4 - (-3)) / (3 - 1) = 7/2

so these two are perpendicular

check the DF line to be certain

slope of DF (4 - (-1)) / (3 - (-6)) = 5/9

Length of DE =  √(-2² + 7²) = √53

Length of EF = √(7² + 2²) = √53

A bird flies at an altitude of 520 feet. A diver dives to a depth of 50 feet below sea level. What is the difference in their elevations? Show how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 570 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the bird is 520 feet HIGH.

The diver is 50 feet BELOW sea level, which is also -50.

To find the difference, you would SUBTRACT right?

So 520 - -50 OR 520 + 50 (This is because two negatives make a positive, and you are also subtracting negatives, which in turn means adding).

520 + 50 = 570 - HOPE THIS HELPED!

Pls provide an explanation. I need help, and I will mark the person who helps me understand this Brainliest.

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{1}{3} x + 2[/tex]

And we want to find its inverse h.

To find the inverse of a function, we can switch the y and x variables and solve for the new y. This will be our inverse.

We begin with:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = y = \frac{1}{3} x+ 2[/tex]

Switching the variables yield:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{3}y + 2[/tex]

And solving for y yields that:

[tex]\displaystyle y = h(x) = 3x - 6[/tex]

In conclusion, the inverse function to f is 3x - 6. Our answer is D.

To understand why we switch the variables, recall that by the definition of inverse functions, if f(a) = b, then f⁻¹(b) = a. So, by switching the variables, we are essentially solving for f⁻¹(x).

A vertical parabola goes through (-2,-18), (3, -13), and (5, -39). Use matrices to solve for D, E, and F,
given the general form x2 + y2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 (since it is a vertical parabola there is not a
yż term).

Answers

The general formula for the parabola is [tex]x^{2}+y^{2}-21\cdot x +51\cdot y +548 = 0[/tex].

We need the knowledge of three distinct points to determine all coefficients of the vertical parabola based on the following general formula:

[tex]x^{2} + y^{2} + D\cdot x + E\cdot y + F = 0[/tex] (1)

If we know that [tex](x_{1}, y_{1}) = (-2, -18)[/tex], [tex](x_{2}, y_{2}) = (3,-13)[/tex] and [tex](x_{3}, y_{3}) = (5,-39)[/tex], then we have the following system of linear equations:

[tex]-2\cdot D -18\cdot E + F = -328[/tex] (2)

[tex]3\cdot D -13\cdot y + F = -178[/tex] (3)

[tex]5\cdot D -39\cdot E + F = -1546[/tex] (4)

The solution of the system of equations is: [tex]D = -21[/tex], [tex]E = 51[/tex], [tex]F = 548[/tex].

The general formula for the parabola is [tex]x^{2}+y^{2}-21\cdot x +51\cdot y +548 = 0[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

C. Action: Divide both sides by 3.

F. Property: Division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

you are trying to get x by itself so if you divide by 3 you are taking the 3 from x, and what you do to one side you do to the other.

Answer:

C. Action: Divide both sides by 3.

F. Property: Division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, divide 3 from both sides of the equation:

(3x)/3 = (12)/3

x = 12/3

x = 4

C. Action: Divide both sides by 3.

F. Property: Division property of equality.

Hello there I think the measure of EBC is 58 degrees.

That's because angles EBC and DBE are complementary. it means that they add up to 90 degrees.

We are given that

DBE=32 degrees.

And we know that angles EBC and DBE add up to 90 degrees.

So we take 90 and subtract the measure of angle DBE (32 degrees)

90-32=58

An insurer knows that the proportion of smokers in a population is 0.3. Furthermore, it is known that: 40% of applicants who are smokers say they do not smoke on their applications. None of the non-smoking applicants are lying on their application.
Calculate what is the probability that one of the applicants says that he does not smoke, and that in fact do not smoke.

Answers

Answer: Approximately 0.8537

===================================================

Explanation:

Let's say this population had 1000 people. You can pick any number you want, but I'm going for some nice big round number to work with.

The proportion of smokers is 0.3, which means 0.3*1000 = 300 people in this population are smokers and 1000-300 = 700 are nonsmokers.

Of the 300 people who do smoke, 40% of them lie on the application. This means 0.40*300 = 120 people lied. These 120 people say they don't smoke, but in fact they do smoke.

So if we were to survey this population, then 700+120 = 820 people would say they don't smoke

Only considering the people who write "don't smoke" on the survey, which is that 820 figure, 700 of them are true nonsmokers. Therefore, the probability we want is 700/820 = 0.8537 approximately

You should first recognize the shape of the curve - it's an exponential function, so its equation takes the form [tex]y(x)=a\cdot b^{cx}[/tex] for some constants a, b, and c.

The curve lies above the x-axis, so a must be positive.

The curve is defined everywhere (there are no discontinuities), so b must be positive.

As you move left to right, the function is increasing, so c must also be positive. But to make things simpler, let's assume c = 1.

When x = 0, the curve passes through the point (0, 1). In our equation, we have

[tex]y(0) = a\cdot b^0 = a[/tex]

so it follows that a = 1.

When x = 1, the curve approximately passes through the point (1, 4); so

[tex]y(1) = b^1 = 4[/tex]

so b = 4.

Then the equation of the curve might be [tex]\boxed{y = 4^x}[/tex].
