You add 7 to get the next number in the sequence:
-9 + 7 = -2; -2 + 7 = 5; 5 + 7 = 12; and so on.

First term:  -9
Common difference:  7


a(n) = -9 + 7(n-1), for n = {1, 2, 3, ... }

Check:  what is the first term?  let n=1.   Then a(1) = -9 + 7(1-1) = -9.  
This is correct.

An insurance policy on an electrical device pays a benefit of 4000 if the device fails during the first year. The amount of the
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Expected benefit under this policy = $ 2694

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - An insurance policy on an electrical device pays a benefit of

            4000 if the device fails during the first year. The amount of the

            benefit decreases by 1000 each successive year until it reaches 0.

            If the device has not failed by the beginning of any given year, the

            probability of failure during that year is 0.4.

To find - What is the expected benefit under this policy ?

Proof -

Let us suppose that,

The benefit = y

Given that, the probability of failure during that year is 0.4

⇒Probability of non-failure = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Now,

If the device fail in second year , then

Probability = 0.6×0.4

If the device fail in third year, then

Probability = 0.6×0.6×0.4 = 0.6² × 0.4

Going on like this , we get

If the device is failed in n year, then

Probability = 0.6ⁿ⁻¹ × 0.4

Now,

The probability distribution is-

Benefit , x       4000       3000             2000            1000              0

P(x)                 0.4         0.6×0.4         0.6² × 0.4     0.6³ × 0.4     1 - 0.8704

                      (0.4)       (0.24)            (0.144)         (0.0864)       (0.1296)

At last year, the probability = 1 - (0.4+ 0.24+ 0.144+ 0.0864) = 1 - 0.8704

Now,

We know that,

Expected value ,

E(x) = ∑x p(x)

       = 4000(0.4) + 3000(0.24) + 2000(0.144) + 1000(0.0864) + 0(0.1296)

       = 1600 + 720 + 288 + 86.4 + 0

       = 2694.4

⇒E(x) = 2694.4 ≈ 2694

∴ we get

Expected benefit under this policy = $ 2694

Nicky wants to surround a 25 in. by 16 in. painting with a frame that is w inches wide. Which quadratic function represents the
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Option "D" is the correct answer to the following question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of painting = 25 inch

Height of painting = 16 inch

Width of frame = w inch

Find:

Area of Picture with frame

Computation:

New length of painting = 25 + w + w

New length of painting = 25 + 2w inch

New height of painting = 16 + w + w

New height of painting = 16 + 2w

Area = l x b

So,

Area of Picture with frame = [25 + 2w][16 + 2w]

Area of Picture with frame = 400 + 50w + 32w + 4w²

Area of Picture with frame = 4w² + 82w + 400
