The sequence is defined as

an = 3an - 1 + 7

This means that

a2 = 3(a(2 - 1) + 7

a2 = 3a1 + 7

From the information given ,

a1 = - 4

Thus,

a2 = 3 * - 4 + 7 = - 12 + 7

a2 = - 5

a3 = 3(a(3 - 1) + 7

a3 = 3a2 + 7

a3 = 3 * - 5 + 7 = - 15 + 7

a3 = - 8

a4 = 3(a(4 - 1) + 7

a4 = 3a3 + 7

a4 = 3 * - 8 + 7 = - 24 + 7

a4 = - 17

Thus, the first four terms of the sequence are

- 4, - 5, -

PLEASE HELP ME Determine the premiter of the figure . Use 3.14 for PI Round to the nearest tenth. Numbers are 10 in and 15in​
densk [106]

Answer:

5\pi+40

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of circle=2\pir

so 5 is r(radius)

so 10\pi, but since it’s semicircle, you have to divide by 2, so

5\pi

perimeter of rectangle=15+10+15 because you don’t count the inside, so that equals 40

so 5\pi+40

The points (0, 1) and (-9, -9) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
prohojiy [21]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

We have the points (-9, -9) and (0, 1) - y-intercept → b = 1.

Calculate the slope:

m=\dfrac{1-(-9)}{0-(-9)}=\dfrac{10}{9}

Answer: y=\dfrac{10}{9}x+1

The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes
11111nata11111 [884]
(a) Average time to get to school
Average time (minutes) = Summation of the two means = mean time to walk to bus stop + mean time for the bust to get to school = 8+20 = 28 minutes

(b) Standard deviation of the whole trip to school
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (Summation of variances)

Variance = Standard deviation ^2
Therefore,
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (2^2+4^2) = Sqrt (20) = 4.47 minutes

(c) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
P(x>30) = 1-P(x=30)
Z(x=30) = (mean-30)/SD = (28-30)/4.47 ≈ -0.45
Now, P(x=30) = P(Z=-0.45) = 0.3264
Therefore,
P(X>30) = 1-P(X=30) = 1-0.3264 = 0.6736 = 67.36%

With actual average time to walk to the bus stop being 10 minutes;

(d) Average time to get to school
Actual average time to get to school = 10+20 = 30 minutes

(e) Standard deviation to get to school
Actual standard deviation = Previous standard deviation = 4.47 minutes. This is due to the fact that there are no changes with individual standard deviations.

(f) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
Z(x=30) = (mean - 30)/Sd = (30-30)/4.47 = 0/4.47 = 0

From Z table, P(x=30) = 0.5
And therefore, P(x>30) = 1- P(X=30) = 1- P(Z=0.0) = 1-0.5 = 0.5 = 50%
