Hello!

We have the following expression:

$2a\cdot a\cdot3a+b\cdot4b$

Let's multiply and simplify it, look:

$6a^3+4b^2$

We multiply a*a*a, so we can rewrite it as a³. The same with b*b as b².

So, the answer in the simplified form is:

6a³ + 4b²

What is the nth term of quadratic sequence 4 7 12 19 28

Anni [7]

We find the first differences between terms:
7-4=3; 12-7=5; 19-12=7; 28-19=9.
Since these are different, this is not linear.
We now find the second differences:
5-3=2; 7-5=2; 9-7=2. Then:

Since these are the same, this sequence is quadratic.
We use (1/2a)n², where a is the second difference:
(1/2*2)n²=1n².

We now use the term number of each term for n:
4 is the 1st term; 1*1²=1.
7 is the 2nd term; 1*2²=4.
12 is the 3rd term; 1*3²=9.
19 is the 4th term; 1*4²=16.
28 is the 5th term: 1*5²=25.

Now we find the difference between the actual terms of the sequence and the numbers we just found:

4-1=3; 7-4=3; 12-9=3; 19-16=3; 28-25=3.

Since this is constant, the sequence is in the form (1/2a)n²+d;
in our case, 1n²+d, and since d=3, 1n²+3.
The correct answer is n²+3

Suppose that the quarterly sales levels among health care information systems companies are approximately normally distributed w

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The cutoff sales level is 10.7436 millions of dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 12, \sigma = 1.2$

15th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.15. So X when Z = -1.047.

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

$-1.047 = \frac{X - 12}{1.2}$

$X - 12 = -1.047*1.2$

$X = 10.7436$

The cutoff sales level is 10.7436 millions of dollars

Please help! Thanks in advance.

In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for $f(x)=0$ and find a and b.

When we plug in 1, we get: $2 \times {1}^{4} - 5 \times {1}^{3} - 14 \times {1}^{2} + a \times 1 + b = 0$

Simplify:
$2 - 5 - 14 + a + b = 0$
$- 17 + a + b = 0$
$a + b = 17$

We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.

We have another given root: 4.

Plug it in:
$2 \times {4}^{4} - 5 \times {4}^{3} - 14 \times {4}^{2} + a \times 4 + b = 0$
$512 - 320 - 224 + 4a + b = 0$
$- 32 + 4a + b = 0$
$4a + b = 32$

Now we have our second one. We can combine them:
$a + b = 17 \\ 4a + b = 32$

I use elimination method which is easier here.

Multiply the top equation by -1: $- a - b = - 17 \\ 4a + b = 32$

Add them up:
$3a = 15$

Simplify:
$a = 5$

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:
$5 + b = 17$
$b = 17 - 5$
$b = 12$

So, the answers are $a=5$ and $b=12$ .
