Answer: 21 & 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two numbers is 39

Difference is 3

Let the numbers be x & y

X+y=39........equation 1

X-y=3...........equation 2

X=3+y............equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 1

(3+y)+y=39

3+y+y=39

3+2y=39

2y=39-3

2y=36

Y=36/2

Y=18

Substitute for y in equation 2

X-y=3

X-18=3

X=3+18

X=21

The two numbers are 21 & 18

If 2k, 5k-1 and 6k+2 are the first 3 terms of an arithmetic sequence, find k and the 8th term

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is

d = $a_{2}$ - $a_{1}$ = $a_{3}$ - $a_{2}$

Substitute in values and solve for k, that is

5k - 1 - 2k = 6k + 2 - (5k - 1)

3k - 1 = 6k + 2 - 5k + 1

3k - 1 = k + 3 ( subtract k from both sides )

2k - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )

2k = 4 ⇒ k = 2

--------------------------------------------------------

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = $a_{1}$ + (n - 1)d

$a_{1}$ = 2k = 2 × 2 = 4 and

d = 5k - 1 - 2k = 3k - 1 = (3 × 2) - 1 = 5

Hence

$a_{8}$ = 4 + (7 × 5) = 4 + 35 = 39

Answer:

σX = 3161

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is the square root of the multiplication of each probability multiplied by the squared difference between the values and the mean.

In this question:

$\sigma X = \sqrt{0.999*(200-100)^2 + 0.001*(-99800-100)^2} = 3160.7$

Rounding to the nearest dollar, σX = 3161
