Answer:

a_n=28-2(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the formula for this problem in the explicit form of:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1), where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, and d is the common difference

Here, we can say that the "first term" is the 15th term, which is 0, so instead of a_1, we have a_15. The nth term is the 40th term, which is -50, so instead of a_n, we have a_40:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

a_{40}=a_{15}+d(40-15)

-50=0+d(25)

d = -2

Now, we need to find the first term:

a_{15}=a_1+d(15-1)

0=a_1+(-2)(14)

a_1 = 28

Finally, our equation is: a_n=28-2(n-1)

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y = 12 and passes through the point (-2, 4)?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

y=-5/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the gradient whereas since the two lines are parallel they hav the same gradient. y=mx+c whereas m is the gradient. 5x+2y=12

2y=-5x+12

y=-5/2x+12(so the gradient is -5/2x..... <u>g</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u>=</u><u>-</u><u>5</u><u>/</u><u>2</u>

<u>y</u><u>-</u><u>4</u>=-5/2

x+2

y-4=-5/2(x+2)

y-4=-5/2x-5

y=-5/2x-5+4

y=-5/2x-1

The head of maintenance at XYZ Rent-A-Car believes that the mean number of miles between services is 2135 miles, with a variance
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

0.36878

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean number of miles (m) = 2135 miles

Variance = 145924

Sample size (n) = 40

Standard deviation (s) = √variance = √145924 = 382

probability that the mean of a sample of 40 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 29 miles

P( 2135 - 29 < z < 2135 + 29)

Z = (x - m) / s /√n

Z = [(2106 - 2135) / 382 / √40] < z < [(2164 - 2135) / 382 / √40]

Z = (- 29 / 60.399503) < z < (29 / 60.399503)

Z = - 0.4801364 < z < 0.4801364

P(Z < - 0.48) = 0.31561

P(Z < - 0.48) = 0.68439

P(- 0.480 < z < 0.480) = 0.68439 - 0.31561 = 0.36878

= 0.36878
