A particular geometric sequence has strictly decreasing terms. After the first term, each successive term is calculated by multiplying the previous term by $\frac{m}{7}$. If the first term of the sequence is positive, how many possible integer values are there for $m$?

Answer:

Ones: 91

Hundredths: 91.20

Step-by-step explanation:

All numbers that comprises the digits, 91.20, have place value.

The 9 in the digit has a place value of tens, i.e. 9*10 = 90.

The 1 has a place value of one's, i.e. 1*1 = 1

The 2, after the decimal point to the right, has a place value of tenth, i.e. 1*10-¹ = ⅒ = 0.1

While the zero has a place value of hundredth.

Therefore, the digits, in the ones place = 91

In the hundredths place = 91.20

Answer:

There is no price difference between the two stores.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent t-test (also known as the paired t-test or paired samples t-test) compares the two means associated groups to conclude if there is a statistically significant difference amid these two means.

In this case a paired t-test is used to determine if there is a price difference between the two stores.

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as follows:

H₀: There is no price difference between the two stores, i.e. d = 0.

Hₐ: There is a price difference between the two stores, i.e. d ≠ 0.

From the information provided the sample mean and standard deviation are:

 [tex]\bar d=-0.464\\\\S_{d}=1.019[/tex]

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 [tex]t=\frac{\bar d}{S_{d}/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{-0.464}{1.019/\sqrt{10}}=-1.4399\approx -1.44[/tex]

The test statistic value is -1.44.

Decision rule:

If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

The degrees of freedom is:

n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

Compute the p-value of the test as follows:

[tex]p-value=2\cdot P(t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}>-1.44)[/tex]

               [tex]=2\cdot P(t_{0.10/2, 9}>-1.44)\\=2\times 0.092\\=0.184[/tex]  

*Use a t-table.

The p-value of the test is 0.184.

p-value= 0.184 > α = 0.10

The null hypothesis was failed to be rejected.

Thus, it can be concluded that there is no price difference between the two stores.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 4 and (a, b) = (- 3, - 4) , thus

y - (- 4) = 4(x - (- 3)) , that is

y + 4 = 4(x + 3) → C

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this equation is just a normal greater than symbol, it has to be a dotted line.

This graph starts at -2 and goes up 1 and right 3(this cancels out C as an option)

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Points A(-l, y) and B(5,7) lie on a circle with centre O(2, -3y). This means that AB is the diameter of the circle and OA = OB = radius.

For two points X([tex]x_1,y_1[/tex]) and Y([tex]x_2, y_2[/tex]), the coordinates of the midpoint (x, y) between the two points is given as:

[tex]x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}[/tex].

For A(-l, y) and B(5,7) with center O(2, -3y), the value of y can be gotten by:

[tex]For\ x\ coordinate:\\2=\frac{-1+5}{2}\\ 2=2.\\For\ y\ coordinate:\\-3y=\frac{y+7}{2}\\ -6y=y+7.\\-6y-y=7\\-7y=y\\y=-1[/tex]

The value of y is -1. Therefore A is at (-1, -1) and O is at (2, -3(-1))= (2, 3)

The radius of the circle = OA. The distance between two points X([tex]x_1,y_1[/tex]) and Y([tex]x_2, y_2[/tex]) is given as:

[tex]|OX|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\Therefore\ the\ radius \ |OA|\ is :\\|OA|=\sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(3-(-1))^2}=\sqrt{25}=5[/tex]

The radius of the circle is 5 units

Answer:

y = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the given line is,

y = mx + b

where 'm' = slope of the line

b = y-intercept of the line

Since slope of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] is represented by,

m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

If the points are (0, 5) and (-3, 6),

Slope of the line 'm' = [tex]\frac{6-5}{-3-0}[/tex]

                                 = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

y-intercept of the line 'b' = 5

Therefore, equation of the given line will be,

y = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex]

Complete Question:

A cone fits inside a square pyramid as shown. For every cross section, the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square is StartFraction pi r squared Over 4 r squared EndFraction or StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction.

A cone is inside of a pyramid with a square base. The cone has a height of h and a radius of r. The pyramid has a base length of 2 r.

Since the area of the circle is StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction the area of the square, the volume of the cone equals

A. StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction the volume of the pyramid or StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFractionStartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction (StartFraction (2 r) (h) Over 3 EndFraction) or One-sixthπrh.

B. StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction the volume of the pyramid or StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFractionStartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction (StartFraction (2 r) squared (h) Over 3 EndFraction) or One-thirdπr²h.

C. StartFraction pi Over 2 EndFraction the volume of the pyramid or StartFraction pi Over 2 EndFraction or Two-thirdsπr²h.

D. StartFraction pi Over 2 EndFraction the volume of the pyramid or StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction or One-thirdπr²h.

Answer:

B. StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction the volume of the pyramid or StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction (StartFraction (2 r) squared (h) Over 3 EndFraction) or One-thirdπr²h = 1/3πr²h

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two geometric shapes in the question.

a) A cone and b) a square pyramid

The cone has a height of h and a radius of r. The pyramid has a base length of 2 r.

The volume of a cone =1/3πr²h

Where πr² = Area of the circle at the base of the cone

Hence, Volume of a cone = 1/3 × Area of the circular base of a cone × Height

The volume of a square pyramid = 1/3a²h

Where a² = Area of the square base of the pyramid

Hence, Volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 × Area of the square base of a pyramid × height(h)

Base area of a cone / Base area of a square pyramid = π/4

Base area of a circle = Base area of a pyramid × π/4

Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h

Volume of a cone = 1/3 × Base area of a square pyramid × π/4 × h

Note that:

Volume of a square pyramid = 1/3a²h

= 1/3 × Base area of a square pyramid × height

Hence,

Volume of a cone = Volume of a square pyramid × π/4

= StartFraction pi Over 4 EndFraction the volume of the pyramid

Or

Where a = base length = 2r

Volume of the square pyramid = 1/3 × 2r² × h = 1/3 × 4r²h

Volume of a cone = Volume of a square pyramid × π/4

Substituting = 1/3 × 4 × r²× h × π/4

Volume of a cone = 1/3 πr²h

Or

Volume of a cone = Volume of a square pyramid × π/4

Volume of a square pyramid when base length is 2r = 1/3 × (2r)² × h = (2r²)h/3

Substituting (2r²)h/3 for volume of a square pyramid in volume of a cone , we have:

Volume of a cone = π/4 × 2r²h/3

Answer:

m= -29

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a bit of a complex equation, but let's work through it.

2/3 (m-1/2) +3= m/3-7

First, we need to distribute the 2/3.

(2/3)(m)+(2/3)(−1/2)+3=m/3+−7

Now we simplify that.

2/3m+−1/3+3=1/3m+−7

We can now combine like terms.

2/3m+8/3=1/3m+−7

The goal is to isolate the variable, so we should subtract 1/3m from both sides.

1/3m+8/3=−7

Lets keep going! We can subtract 8/3 from both sides.

1/3m=-29/3

Well now we know what 1/3 of m is, but we want to know what m is. So we can multiply both sides by three to finally find out what m is!

m=-29

We did it! m=-29

Answer:

Area of the triangle = 469.4 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying Sine rule in the given triangle WXY,

[tex]\frac{\text{SinW}}{\text{XY}}=\frac{\text{SInY}}{\text{WX}}=\frac{\text{SinX}}{\text{WY}}[/tex]

Since m∠X + m∠Y + m∠W = 180°

m∠X + 40° + 27° = 180°

m∠X = 180° - 67°

m∠X = 113°

Now substitute the measures of sides and angles given in the picture,

[tex]\frac{\text{Sin27}}{\text{XY}}=\frac{\text{SIn40}}{38}=\frac{\text{Sin113}}{\text{WY}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Sin27}}{\text{XY}}=\frac{\text{SIn40}}{38}[/tex]

XY = [tex]\frac{38\text{(Sin27)}}{\text{Sin40}}[/tex]

XY = 26.84

Area of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{XY})(\text{XW})(\text{SinX})[/tex]

                                = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(26.84)(38)(\text{Sin113})[/tex]

                                = 469.42

                                ≈ 469.4 ft²

Answer:

4.7 feet³ of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of 4 feet

Radius = 2 feet

Height = 0.75 feet

Formula for Volume = 2·[tex]\pi[/tex]·radius·height

But she only wants to fill half, so divide by 2, cancels the 2 in the formula for volume, giving us: [tex]\pi[/tex]·radius·height

[tex]\pi[/tex]·2·0.75 = 4.71 feet³

Answer:

(-1,0), (0,3) and (2,2.25)

Step-by-step explanation:

The qualitative graph is as follows:

A(-1,0) ------> B(0,3) ------> C(2,2.25)

Hence, slope = (2.25 - 0)/(2 - (-1)) = 2.25/3

∴ slope = 0.75

Except for the option graph on a coordinate plane, a line with a positive slope goes through points (negative 1, 0) and (0, 3), all the graph is qualitative. Options B, C, and D are correct.

The kind of graph that shows the quality curve such as decreasing and increasing events, is called a qualitative graph or curve.

Here,
1. On a coordinate plane, a line with a positive slope goes through points (negative 1, 0) and (0, 3), since this graph does not represent any data as well as also constantly increasing between two points so it is not a qualitative graph.

Similarly,
Graphs B, C, and D have an increasing and decreasing order, so all are qualitative graphs.

Thus, except for graph A all the graphs are qualitative graphs.

Given that:

The mean (μ) one-way commute to work in Chowchilla is 7 minutes. The standard deviation (σ) is 2.4 minutes.

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

a) For x < 2:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08[/tex]

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 2) = P(z < -2.08) = 0.0188 = 1.88%

b) For x = 2:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08[/tex]

For x = 11:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{11-7}{2.4} =1.67[/tex]

From normal distribution table, P(2 < x < 11) = P(-2.08 < z < 1.67 ) = P(z < 1.67) - P(z < -2.08) = 0.9525 - 0.0188 = 0.9337  

c) For x = 11:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{11-7}{2.4} =1.67[/tex]

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 11) = P(z < 1.67) = 0.9525

d) For x = 2:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08[/tex]

For x = 5:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-7}{2.4} =-0.83[/tex]

From normal distribution table, P(2 < x < 5) = P(-2.08 < z < -0.83 ) = P(z < -0.83) - P(z < -2.08) =  0.2033- 0.0188 = 0.1845  

e) For x = 5:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-7}{2.4} =-0.83[/tex]

b. [tex] \frac{5x + 10}{ - 6} = - 5[/tex]

Apply cross product property

[tex]5x + 10 = - 5 \times ( - 6)[/tex]

Multiply the numbers

[tex]5x + 10 = 30[/tex]

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

[tex]5x = 30 - 10[/tex]

Calculate the difference

[tex]5x = 20[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

[tex] \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{20}{5} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

----------------------------------------------------------------

c. [tex] - 15 = \frac{ - 8x - 17}{7} [/tex]

Apply cross product property

[tex] - 15 \times 7 = - 8x - 17[/tex]

Multiply the numbers

[tex] - 105 = - 8x - 17[/tex]

Swap the sides of the equation

[tex] - 8x - 17 = - 105[/tex]

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

[tex] - 8x = - 105 + 17[/tex]

Calculate

[tex] - 8x = - 88[/tex]

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

[tex]8x = 88[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

[tex] \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{88}{8} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]x = 11[/tex]

------------------------------------------------------------------

D. [tex]5 = 6x + 5(x - 10)[/tex]

Distribute 5 through the parentheses

[tex]5 = 6x + 5x - 50[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]5 = 11x - 50[/tex]

Swap both sides of the equation

[tex]11x - 50 = 5[/tex]

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

[tex]11x = 5 + 50[/tex]

Calculate the sum

[tex]11x = 55[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 11

[tex] \frac{11x}{11} = \frac{55}{11} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]x = 5[/tex]

Solution,

No.of students in soccer = x

No.of students in basketball = y

Total no.of students = 20

i.e x + y = 20 → equation ( i )

Cost of soccer ball = $ 7

Cost of basketball = $ 10

Total budget = $ 164

i.e 7x + 10 y = 165 → equation ( ii )

In equation ( i ),

x + y = 20

Move 'y' to R.H.S and change its sign

x = 20 - y

Put the value of x in equation ( i )

[tex]7(20 - y) + 10y = 164[/tex]

[tex]140 - 7y + 10y = 164[/tex]

[tex]3y = 164 - 140[/tex]

[tex]3y = 24[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{24}{3} [/tex]

[tex]y = 8[/tex]

Now, put the value of y in equation ( i ) ,

x + y = 20

[tex]x + 8 = 20[/tex]

[tex]x = 20 - 8[/tex]

[tex]x = 12[/tex]

Hence, 12 soccer balls and 8 basketballs can be purchased.
