The formula for any geometric sequence is an = a1 · rn - 1, where an represents the value of the nth term, a1 represents the value of the first term, r represents the common ratio, and n represents the term number. What is the formula for the sequence 2, -6, 18, -54, ...? an = 2 · 3n - 1 an = 2 · (-3)n - 1 an = 3 · 2n - 1 an = -3 · 2n - 1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The second choice

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we would plug in the first term which is 2 so we would get [tex]an=2[/tex] times [tex]rn-1[/tex] so next we would see that the common ration is -3 since every time the number is being multiplied by -3. so then our equation would be [tex]an= 2[/tex] times [tex]-3n-1[/tex]. Now we would just find the choice that matches and it would be the second choice.

Answer 2

Answer:

option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First term [tex]a_{1} = 2\\[/tex]

common ratio = r = second term ÷ first term

                            = -6 ÷2 = -4

Plug in the values of  [tex]a_{1}[/tex] & r in the formula

[tex]a_{n} = a_{1}*r^{n-1}\\\\\\a_{n}=2 * (-3)^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of blue cups : Number of red cups

10 : 6

Divide to the lowest terms

10 ÷ 2 : 6 ÷2

5 : 3

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of blue cups to red cups is 10:6 you can figure this out by counting how many blue cups there are and how many red cups there are.

Now that you have your ratio of 10:6 which means for every 10 blue cups there will be 6 red cups. You can work with this and find equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing. In this case you would have to divide in half to find the ratio 5:3

Write an algebraic equation to match each graph. (These graphs are not drawn to scale!) please help! i will make brainliest answer if correct!

Answers

Answer:

the expression of this function is:

[tex]f(x)=|x-1|-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This graph corresponds to an absolute value function, which as you can see has the minimum (vertex) at the point (1, -1) on the plane, and also that goes through the origin of coordinates (0, 0)

therefore, notice that from the point (0, 0) to (1, -1) there is a slope of "-1" which is going to characterize the steepness of the x- variable that resides inside the absolute value function. since the vertex has also moved from the characteristic (0, 0) in the function:

[tex]f(x)=|x|[/tex]

then we have to include a horizontal shift to the right in one unit (by subtracting 1 units from x), and a vertical shift  downwards one unit (by subtracting 1 from the full absolute value expression) in order to shift the vertex to the position (1, -1):

[tex]f(x)=|x-1|-1[/tex]

2. Determine which of the following angle measures are correct. Select two that apply.
60°

Answers

Answer

B) mJAB = 115°

D) mCBA = 55°

Explanation

You know that C A J are points that are collinear, therefore,

180 - (11x - 6) = angle CAB

Which is:

186 - 11x

Use the fact that angles in a triangle add up to 180.

180 = 60 + 4x + 11 + 186 - 11x

180 = 257 - 7x

180 - 257 = - 7x

-77 = -7x

x = 11

Now you know that x = 11 and angle CAB is 186 - 11x simply substitute

186 - (11 x 11) = 65°

So angle CAB is 65° (No option in your multiple choice answers fits this)

Now try to find the value for angle CBA, substitute x = 11 into 4x + 11

4x11 + 11 = 55° (that’s option D where mCBA = 55°

Now try to find the value of angle JAB, you know x = 11 and it’s value is 11x - 6

11 x 11 - 6 = 115° (this is option b)

Answer:

B,MJAB=115°

Answers

Given:

It is given that surface area must be less than 150 cm².

Solution:

The Maximum Volume With Total Surface Area Less  than 150 cm² is shown in the table.

From the table, it can be concluded that for r=3.00 cm and h=4.95 cm the surface area will be less than 150 cm²  and the volume will be the maximum.

[tex]S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2\\S=2\pi (3)(7.95)+2\pi3^2\\S=93.3+56.5\\S=149.8 \text{ cm}^2[/tex]

Calculate the volume.

[tex]V=\pi r^2h\\V=\pi(3)^2(4.95)\\V=139.96[/tex]

Hence, the required dimensions are r=3.00 cm and h=4.95 cm.

Answer:  101/200

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

Explanation:

Each term multiplied out is of the form 1 - 1/(k^2) which we can write as 1^2 - (1/k)^2

Note we have something in the form a^2 - b^2 with a = 1 and b = 1/k

So  

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = (1 - 1/k)(1 + 1/k)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]

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

Let P = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]  represent the kth term we are dealing with

Then let Q be the term just after term P, so it's the (k+1) term

To form term Q, replace every k with k+1

Q =  [ (k+1 - 1)/(k+1) ] * [ (k+1 + 1)/(k+1) ]

Q = [ k/(k+1) ] * [ (k+2)/(k+1) ]

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

Let's multiply P and Q to find out what happens . See figure 1 in the attached images below.

As figure 1 shows, we see that the middle terms cancel out. This will happen when we multiply P*Q*R, where R is the term just after Q. Extend this idea out as far as you want and each time the middle terms will pair up and cancel.

All that's left are the first and last terms, which are

1 - 1/2 = 1/2

and

1 + 1/100 = 101/100

They multiply to 101/200

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

Figure 2 (also attached as an image) shows a longer way to do the problem. Basically I expanded out a bunch of terms to multiply, and then show how we have various terms pair up and cancel, in basically the same way as explained above. What's left are the first and last terms 1/2 and 101/100 which multiply to 101/200.

It can be rewritten as

[tex]\left(\sqrt{2}\cos \dfrac{9\pi}{20}+i\sin\dfrac{9\pi}{20}\right)^5[/tex]

According to De moivre's Theorem:

[tex][r(\cos\theta+i\sin \theta)]^n=r^n(\cos n\theta +i\sin n\theta)[/tex]

Using De moivre's Theorem, we get

[tex](\sqrt{2})^5\left(\cos \dfrac{9\pi\times 5}{20}+i\sin\dfrac{9\pi\times 5}{20}\right)[/tex]

[tex]=4\sqrt{2}\left(\cos \dfrac{9\pi}{4}+i\sin\dfrac{9\pi}{4}\right)[/tex]

[tex]=4\sqrt{2}\left(\cos (2\pi +\dfrac{\pi}{4})+i\sin (2\pi+\dfrac{\pi}{4})\right)[/tex]

[tex]=4\sqrt{2}\left(\cos \dfrac{\pi}{4}+i\sin \dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)[/tex]

[tex]=4\sqrt{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+i\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)[/tex]

A computer tallied the time to work for 200 days and found it reasonable to normal curve. The main Thomas 35 minutes, and the standard deviation with six minutes. For the 200 workday experiment, find the percent of tonic me to work more than 41 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that computers work more than 41 minutes is 0.15866 or 15.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a computer tallied the time to work for 200 days and found it reasonable to the normal curve. The mean is 35 minutes, and the standard deviation with six minutes.

Let X = the time taken by computer to work for 200 days.

So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=35, \sigma^{2} =6^{2}[/tex])

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                               Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean time = 35 minutes

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 6 minutes

Now, the probability that computers work more than 41 minutes is given by = P(X > 41 minutes)

 

      P(X > 41 minutes) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{41-35}{6 }[/tex] ) = P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1)

                                                                = 1 - 0.84134 = 0.15866

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1 in the z table which has an area of 0.84134.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that satisfies the following condition.
slope 5 and passes through (2, 28)
Select one:
O a.y=5x - 28
O b.y = 2x - 2
O c. y= 28x + 18
O d. y = 5x + 18

Answers

Answer:

d. y= 5x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is slope intercept form

Now we plug in the information given to us which is slope(m) is 5 and a point (x,y) which is (2,28).

So by substituting we get 28=5(2)+b

simplify to 28=10+b and when we subtract 10 from both sides to isolate 'b', we get that b = 18.

So now we use the values of slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) to write the equation:

y=5x+18

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Slope-intercept form is a way to write the equation of a line, and it is very useful. It is y=mx+b. This equation shows how y is related to x on a line. The m represents the slope, which is the incline of the line. The b represents the y-intercept, or where the line hits the y-axis.

If you find any value for x and plug it into the equation, you will figure out what y-value it matches on the line. If you had the equation you could draw the line by plugging in x-values and plotting points and connecting the dots!

Anyways, we have a slope of 5. This means that so far our equation looks like y=5x+b. It does not tell us what the y-intercept is, so we need to figure it out!

If we have the values for m, x, and b, we can solve for y. Well, we don't have b, but we do have values for y, x, and m, so we should be able to solve for b!

We will plug in our point (2,28) and solve for b!

28=5(2)+b

28=10+b

b=18

Our y-intercept is 18.

So, we can write this equation in slope-intercept form for the line that follows the condition of slope 5 and passing through (2,28) below.

y=5x+18

Therefore, our answer is d. 5x+18.

Now you can find the equation of a line given the slope and a point! Have a wonderful day! :D
