The function that represents a geometric sequence is given by:

C. $A(n) = P(1 + i)^{n-1}$ , where n is a positive integer.

<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1q^{n-1}$

In which $a_1$ is the first term.

Following this pattern, a function that is also a geometric sequence is:

C. $A(n) = P(1 + i)^{n-1}$ , where n is a positive integer.

For the function, we have that:

$a_1 = P, q = 1 + i$ .

Point A is located at (-4, -13). Point B is located at (-4, 3). What is the distance between point A

12345 [234]

Answer:

the distance is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given point A (-4,-13) and point B (-4,3). We need to find the distance between those two points

the distance formula is given as $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$ where ( $x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$ ) and ( $x_{2}$ , $y_{2}$ ) are points

we are given 2 points, which is what we need for the formula. However, let's label the values of the points to avoid any confusion

$x_{1}$ =-4

$y_{1}$ =-13

$x_{2}$ =-4

$y_{2}$ =3

now substitute those values into the formula. Remember: the formula uses SUBTRACTION.

$\sqrt{(-4--4)^2+(3--13)^2}$

simplify

$\sqrt{(-4+4)^2+(3+13)^2}$

now add the values inside the parenthesis that are under the radical

$\sqrt{(0)^2+(16)^2}$

raise everything under the radical to the second power

$\sqrt{0+256}$

add under the radical

$\sqrt{256}$

now take the square root of 256

$\sqrt{256}$ =16

so the distance between point A and point B is <u>16</u>

Hope this helps! :)

The speed with which utility companies can resolve problems is very important. GTC, the Georgetown Telephone Company, reports it

brilliants [131]

Answer:

(a) 11.25 and 1.68

(b) 0.1651

(c) 0.3903

(d) 0.6865

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that GTC, the Georgetown Telephone Company, reports it can resolve customer problems the same day they are reported in 75% of the cases and suppose the 15 cases reported today are representative of all complaints.

This situation can be represented through Binomial distribution as;

$P(X=r)= \binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 15

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is % of cases in

which customer problems are resolved on the same day, i.e.;75%

So, here X ~ $Binom(n=15,p=0.75)$

(a) Expected number of problems to be resolved today = E(X)

E(X) = $\mu$ = n * p = 15 * 0.75 = 11.25

Standard deviation = $\sigma$ = $\sqrt{n*p*(1-p)}$ = $\sqrt{15*0.75*(1-0.75)}$ = 1.68

(b) Probability that 10 of the problems can be resolved today = P(X = 10)

P(X = 10) = $\binom{15}{10}0.75^{10}(1-0.75)^{15-10}$

= $3003*0.75^{10} *0.25^{5}$ = 0.1651

= $\binom{15}{10}0.75^{10}(1-0.75)^{15-10}+\binom{15}{11}0.75^{11}(1-0.75)^{15-11}$

= $3003*0.75^{10} *0.25^{5} + 1365*0.75^{11} *0.25^{4}$ = 0.3903

(d) Probability that more than 10 of the problems can be resolved today is

given by = P(X > 10)

P(X > 10) = P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15)

= $\binom{15}{11}0.75^{11}(1-0.75)^{15-11}+\binom{15}{12}0.75^{12}(1-0.75)^{15-12} + \binom{15}{13}0.75^{13}(1-0.75)^{15-13}+\binom{15}{14}0.75^{14}(1-0.75)^{15-14} + \binom{15}{15}0.75^{15}(1-0.75)^{15-15}$
