Determine the common difference for each arihmetic sequence 1,5,9,13

2 answers:

8 0

The common difference is 4. If you look at the numbers 1 and 5, there is a difference of 4. If you look at 5 and 9, there is also a difference of 4. If you look at 9 and 13, there is a difference of 4. Therefore, in this arithmetic sequence, the common difference is 4.

In the sequence, the numbers are increasing by 4 each time.
So the common difference is 4.
Hope this helps!

Consider a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a fourth term of -2.916.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.

Answer: -0.82

b) Find the sum to infinity of this sequence.

Answer: 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term in geometric series is given by $4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{0.549} \\r = 0.82$

where

a is the first term

r is the common ratio and

n is the nth term

_________________________________

given

a = 4

4th term = -2.196

let

common ratio of this sequence. be r

$4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{-0.549} \\r = -0.82$

a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.

answer: -0.82

sum of infinity of geometric sequence is given by = a/(1-r)

thus,

sum to infinity of this sequence = 4/(1-(-0.82) = 4/1.82 = 2.2

The ages in years of 21 people in a swimming pool are displayed in the stem-and-leaf plot. Determine the median age of

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

<h3>5 years</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the median of the ages given

2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 0, 3, 5, 9, 1, 4, 7, 6, 1, 2, 4, 4, 8

First we will need to rearrange the median ages in ascending order (from lowest to highest)

0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9

Next is to locate the middle value of the arranged data

(0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4), 5, (5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9)

The total values in both parenthesis are the same(10 in numbers) leaving 5 as the middle number.

Hence the median age of the people in the pool is 5years

Find all the zeroes of the equation(with simple steps).

uysha [10]

Answer-

The zeros are, $5,\ -5,\ 4i,\ -4i$

Solution-

$\Rightarrow -3x^4+27x^2+1200=0$

$\Rightarrow -3(x^2)^2+27(x^2)+1200=0$

Here,

a = -3, b = 27, c = 1200

So,

$x^2=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$=\dfrac{-27\pm \sqrt{-27^2-4\cdot (-3)\cdot 1200}}{2\cdot (-3)}$

$=\dfrac{-27\pm \sqrt{729+14400}}{-6}$

$=\dfrac{-27\pm 123}{-6}$

$=\dfrac{-27+123}{-6},\ \dfrac{-27- 123}{-6}$

$=\dfrac{96}{-6},\ \dfrac{-150}{-6}$

$=-16,\ 25$

So,

$\Rightarrow x^2=25,\ -16$

$\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{25},\ \sqrt{-16}$

$\Rightarrow x=5,\ -5,\ 4i,\ -4i$
