We have that

<span>A).Formulate a recursive sequence modeling the number of grams after n hours.
a(n) = 0.75*a(n-1)

</span>B) .Use the model to calculate the amount of contaminants after the third hour of the experiment. 
<span> for the first hour
</span>a(1) = 0.75*a(0)
<span>a0=400 g
 a1=(3/4)400 = 300 g

for the second hour
</span>a(2) = 0.75*a(1)
<span>a1=300 g
a2=(3/4)300 = 900/4 g

for the third hour
</span>a(3) = 0.75*a(2)
<span>a2=900/4 g
(3/4)900/4 = 2700/16 = 168.75 g

 the answer is </span>168.75 g

Answer:

18.75g

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason this is right and not the other answer is because you are supposed to multiply by 0.25 not 0.75. When you multiply by 0.75 you get how much of the contaminants are gone. Not how much is still left.

You can use the same equation as above, but you will need to plug in 0.25 where 0.75 is. I'm working on this problem and got it wrong and my teacher said that was my only mistake. :))

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

a.] d) employed individuals aged 25-29

b.] a) Have your earned a bachelor's degree (or higher)?

C.] Categorical

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario described, the population being studied are those aged between 25 - 29 years and who are employed. The study was to determine the level of education of the respondents who happens to fall into the category of being employed and within the 25 - 29 Years age bracket.

The most appropriate question to ask in other to establish if respondent has at least a bachelor's degree is to explicitly ask if the respondent has a bachelor's degree or higher.

C) Categorical : The response to the question will best directly take a 'yes' 'no' format which is a categorical label which could then be transformed into dummy variables for further analysis

Prove that (a-b) x (a+b)=2a x b is true.<br> (a and b are vectors)
Anon25 [30]
(a-b) X (a+b)
=  aXa - bXa +aXb -bXb (distributing)

Now, cross product of a vector with itself = 0
so, aXa = 0, bXb = 0

Also, aXb = - bXa

so,
(a-b) X (a+b) = 0 + aXb + aXb + 0
= 2aXb

hence, proved :)
