Answer:

  2a.  ((500x +200)x +600)x

  2b.  $1350.68

  3.  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2. You want to know the balance in an account at the end of 3 years with deposits at the beginning of successive years being $500, $200, and $600, and with deposits having an annual growth factor of x. You want (a) an expression for the balance in terms of x, and (b) the balance when x=1+2%.

3. You want the value of p(-2) for p(x) = 5x³ +8x² -3x + 1.

<h2>2. Account Balance</h2><h3>a. Expression</h3>

$500 is deposited at the beginning of the first year. The problem statement tells us that this has been multiplied by growth factor x by the end of the year, so the balance at that point is 500x.

At the beginning of the second year, $200 is added to the account, and the entire amount is multiplied by the growth factor for the year. That makes the balance at the end of the second year be ...

  (500x +200)x

Then $600 is added, and again the account grows by a factor of x. At the end of the third year, the balance is ...

  balance = ((500x +200)x +600)x

<h3>b. Balance for r=2%</h3>

The growth factor is given as x = 1 +r. When r = 2%, this becomes x = 1.02. Then the balance at the end of year 3 is ...

  ((500·1.02 +200)·1.02 +600)·1.02 = 1350.68

The amount in the account at the end of three years is $1350.68.

<h2>3. Polynomial value</h2>

The value of p(x) = 5x³ +8x² -3x +1 for x=-2 is found by substituting -2 where x is found. Evaluation can be easier by rewriting the polynomial to Horner form:

  p(x) = ((5x +8)x -3)x +1

  p(-2) = ((5(-2) +8)(-2) -3)(-2) +1 = ((-2)(-2) -3)(-2) +1 = (1)(-2) +1 = -1

The value of the function for x=-2 is -1.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

You will note that the expression in problem 2 is also written in Horner form. If it were expanded, it would be 500x³ +200x² +600x. Evaluation takes fewer steps when Horner form is used.

Find the first 3 terms of arithmetic sequence if t5=-154 and t9=-274. find t1, t2, t3
777dan777 [17]

Answer: t1 = -34; t2 = -64; t3 = -94

d is the distance between numbers (d > 0)

we have:

t5 = t1 + 4d = -154

t9 = t1 + 8d = -274

we have the equations:

t1 + 4d = -154

t1 + 8d = -274

<=> t1 = -34

      d = -30

with t1 = -34 and = -30 => t2 = -34 - 30 = -64

                                          t3 = -64 - 30 = -94

Wx+yz=bc , solve for z .
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Wx+yz=bc
minus wx on both sides
yz=bc-wx
dividing 'y' on both sides
Hence,
z=(bc-wx)/y
Here is what you need.
Hope it helped

Suppose that the probability that your mail is delivered before 2pm is .90. What is the probability that your mail will be deliv
Elden [556K]
1. The probability that your mail is delivered before 2 pm is 0.9, so the probability that the mail is delivered at 2 pm or after 2 pm (so not before 2 pm) is 1-0.9=0.1.

Remark: 0.9=9/10=90/100=90%, and 0.1 is 10%

2. Probability of the mail being delivered before 2 pm for 2 consecutive days is 
\frac{90}{100}*  \frac{90}{100}= \frac{9}{10}*  \frac{9}{10}= \frac{81}{100}=0.81

3. take a look at the picture attached, the tree diagram is another method we could use.

The right triangle shown has angles X, Y, and Z and side lengths a, b, and
laiz [17]
So attached is a picture of the triangle you are talking about and listed under are the choices:

A.) Cos Z=b/c 
B.) Sin X=c/b 
C.) Tan X=b/a 
<span>D.) Tan Z=a/b
</span>
The answer would then be B. SinX = c/b.

Just remember SOH CAH TOA:

Sinθ=  Opposite         Cosθ =    Adjacent             Tanθ=   Opposite
         Hypotenuse                   Hypotenuse                        Adjacent

Using the triangle in the scenario, you just need to identify which side is which. 

Given m∠Z
Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinZ=  a         CosZ = b             TanZ= a 
            c                      c                        b

Given m∠X:

Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinX= <u> b </u>        CosX =<span><u> a </u></span>            TanX=<span><u> b </u></span>
            c                      c                        a

So the answer is B. 

Attached is a picture of how I assigned the sides depending on the angle used.
