Answer:

g(n) = - 19 + (n - 1)*6

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this is to try a couple and then see if you can make some sort of equation that follows the rule.

g(1) = - 19

=============

g(2) = g(2 - 1) + 6

g(2) = g(1) + 6

g(2) = -19 + 6

g(2) = -13

=============

g(3) = g(2) + 6

g(3) = -13 + 6

g(3) = - 7

==========

g(4) = g(3) + 6

g(4) = - 7 + 6

g(4) = - 1

==========

g(5) = 5

g(6) =11

===========

Now the hard part. You have to start with - 19

The nth term is g(n) = - 19 + (n - 1)*6

Now see if it works.

g(7) = - 19 + (7 - 1)*6

g(7) = - 19 + 6 * 6

g(7) = -19 + 36

g(7) = 17

Is that correct?

g(7) = g(n - 1) + 6

g(7) = g(6) + 6

g(7) = 11 + 6

g(7) = 17 Seems to be the same as the explicit formula gives.

A school wishes to enclose its rectangular playground using 480 meters of fencing.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Part a) $A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2$

Part b) The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Part a) Find a function that gives the area A(x) of the playground (in square meters) in terms of x

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular playground is given by

$P=2(L+W)$

we have

$P=480\ m\\L=x\ m$

substitute

$480=2(x+W)$

solve for W

$240=x+W\\W=(240-x)\ m$

<u><em>Find the area of the rectangular playground</em></u>

The area is given by

$A=LW$

we have

$L=x\ m\\W=(240-x)\ m$

substitute

$A=x(240-x)\\A=-x^2+240x$

Convert to function notation

$A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2$

Part b) What side length x gives the maximum area that the playground can have?

we have

$A(x)=-x^2+240x$

This function represent a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the length that give the maximum area that the playground can have

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

$A(x)=-x^2+240x$

Factor -1

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x)$

Complete the square

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x+120^2)+120^2$

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x+14,400)+14,400$

$A(x)=-(x-120)^2+14,400$

The vertex is the point (120,14,400)

therefore

The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) What is the maximum area that the playground can have?

we know that

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum area

The vertex is the point (120,14,400) -----> see part b)

therefore

The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Verify

$x=120\ m$

$W=(240-120)=120\ m$

The playground is a square

$A=120^2=14,400\ m^2$

On average a herd of elephants travels 10 miles in 12 hours<br>(picture included)

Tema [17]

For the first Q the answer is the first square on the left 10 miles divided by 12 hours = 0,83 miles

And the second Q goes with the last square 12 hours divided by 10 miles = 1.2 h which in minutes is 72 minutes or 1h and 12 minutes.

It has been estimated that 72.7% of alcoholics need professional help to stop drinking. What is the probability that a random al

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The probability that a random alcoholic can kick the habit without professional help is 0.273 .

<h3>What is Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the study of likeliness of an event to happen.

It has a range of 0 to 1 , where 0 indicates uncertainty and 1 indicates certainty.

It is given that

The alcoholics that need professional help to stop drinking is 72.7 %

Therefore the probability of this is 72.7 /100 = 0.727

The probability that they will not need professional help is given by

q = 1 - p

q = 1 -0.727

q = 0.273

Therefore the probability that a random alcoholic can kick the habit without professional help is 0.273 .
