<span>1. Draw a set of railroad tracks such that the lengths of horizontal ties form a geometric sequence.

Answer:

A geometric sequence is a sequence whose terms keep a constant ratio, for example, 1, 2, 4, 8. 16, ... As you see the ratio is between a term and the previous one is 2/1 = 4/2 = 8/4 = 16/8 = 2.

With that in mind, you can draw a sequence of rail roads with lenghts 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ,...

This is it:

-                                     (1)
--                                    (2)
----                                  (4)
--------                             (8)
---------------                    (16)
------------------------------  (32)


2. Write the first four terms of the sequence.

Answer: 1, 2, 4, 8

3. Write a recursive formula for the sequence.

Answer: A(n) = 2 * A(n-1)

That means that the nth terms is equal to the (n-1)th term times 2.

4. Write an explicit formula for the sequence.
</span>
Answer:

An = 2 ^ (n - 1), where n is the number of the term = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

You can verify that that generate:

A(1)  = 2^(1 - 1) = 2^0 = 1

A(2) = 2 ^ (2-1) = 2^1 = 2

A(3) = 2^(3-1) = 2^2 = 4

A(4) = 2^(4-1) = 2^3 = 8

Solve this for x. I have had 3 tries and can’t get the right answer.
Tanya [424]
Let's do both. For the first one, we can add 1 to both sides using the property of equality, and get 4x < -12. Then, we divide by 4, getting us x<-3. For the second, we subtract 3 from both sides to get -2x < 4. Then, we divide by -2 on both sides, but when we divide by a negative we have to switch the sign. So, we get x > -2. Hope this helps.

If z = -1.3, mu=80, sigma=30 What is the actual data value? Round to 2 decimal places.
Andre45 [30]

Step-by-step explanation: This simple confidence interval calculator uses a Z statistic and sample mean (M) to generate an interval estimate of a population mean (μ).

Note: You should only use this calculator if (a) your sample size is 30 or greater; and/or (b) you know the population standard deviation (σ), and use this instead of your sample's standard deviation (an unusual situation). If your data does not meet these requirements, consider using the t statistic to generate a confidence interval.

where:

M = sample mean

Z = Z statistic determined by confidence level

sM = standard error = √(s2/n)

As you can see, to perform this calculation you need to know your sample mean, the number of items in your sample, and your sample's standard deviation (or population's standard deviation if your sample size is smaller than 30). (If you need to calculate mean and standard deviation from a set of raw scores, you can do so using our descriptive statistics tools.)
