Answer:Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a sequence and if we are to find its 87th term we must have the general term formula for the sequence.

Normally for sequences which follow a pattern there will be a formula for nth term.

Example is arithmetic sequence nth term = a+(n-1)d where a is the I term and d the common difference.

Similarly for geometric sequence nth term

= is the nth term

Thus to find the 87th term, we must be able to find out the pattern of the sequence by which any term is related to its previous term

Either general term formula or recurring formula should be given to get the 87th term

Step-by-step explanation: is arithmetic sequence nth term = a+(n-1)d where a is the I term and d the common difference. Still stuck? Get 1-on-1 help from an expert tutor now.

Tyree and four friends go to the movies. Each person buys a movie ticket for $7, a snack for $5, and a drink for $2. Write an ex

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Tyree and all of his friends get 1 ticket for $7. Next they all get 1 snack for $5. Then they all get a drink for $2. So:

1=7

1=5

1=2

Then you take each person (which there are five of then) and you times all five people by 7, 5, 2.

5 x 7=35

5 x 5=25

5 x 2=10

After that you add it all together:

35 plus 25=60

60 plus 10=70

Find the value for x

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

add (3x-9)+30+24=180

subtract 30 and 24 from both sides

(3x-9) = 126

+9 on both sides

3x=135

divide by 3 on both sides

x=45

Name a decimal between 0.4 and 0.5

Aliun [14]

To find a number between both decimals, what you can do is take the average of both numbers.

We have then:

$average = \frac{0.4+0.5}{2}$

Rewriting we have:

$average = \frac{0.9}{2} \\average = 0.45$

Therefore, the decimal obtained is a number between 0.4 and 0.5

Answer:

a decimal between 0.4 and 0.5 is:

$average = 0.45$

A sleep time of 15.9 hours per day for a newborn baby is at the 10h percentile of the distribution of sleep times for all newbor

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

option (D) 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

Sleep time of , X = 15.9 is at the 10th percentile

Standard deviation, σ = 0.5 hour

also,

10th percentile of normal distribution is

Z = F⁻¹(0.10)

Z = - 1.28 (Using Standard Normal distribution)

Now,

$\\Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

X = μ + ( σ × Z )

μ = X - ( σ × Z )

on substituting the respective values, we get

μ = 15.9 - 0.5 × (-1.28)

μ = 16.5

Hence, the correct answer is option (D) 16.5
