We have a first term of 2 and a common ratio of <em>r</em>. We're told

2 + 2r + 2r^2 = 14

r^2 +r  - 6 = 0

(r+3)(r-2)=0

r=-3 \textrm{ or } r=2

If r=-3 the fourth term is 2((-3)³) and the fifth 2((-3)^4) for a sum of

14 - 54 + 162 = 122

If r=2 the remaining terms are 2(2^3)=16 and 2(2^4)=32 for a sum of

14 + 16 + 32 = 62

Answer: 62 or 122

Geometric series are in the form of

a +a*r +a*r^2+...

Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio .

And it is given that

2 +2*r +2*r^2=14

2r^2+2r-12=0

r^2 +r-6=0

(r+3)(r-2)=0

r=-3,2

So the first five terms are

2+2(-3)+2(-3)^2+2(-3)^3+2(-3)^4  or 2+2(2)+2(2)^2+2(2)^3+2(2)^4

= 2-6+18-54+162 or 2+4+8+16+32

= 122 or 62

The probability distribution for the number of defects in a shipment of alarm clocks, based on past data, is given below. Find t
Kay [80]

Answer:

0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

n : ___ 0 _____ 1 ____ 2 ____ 3 ____ 4

P(n) : 0.82___ 0.11 ___0.04 _0.02 ___0.01

The expected number of defect in a shipment can be obtained using the expected value formula :

Expected value, E(X) = Σx*p(x)

Σx*p(x) = (0*0.82) + (1*0.11) + (2*0.04) + (3*0.02) + (4*0.01)

E(X) = 0.29

Hence, the expected number of defect in shipment is 0.29

Dario borrows $12,000 to buy a car. He borrows the money at a yearly, or annual, simple interest rate of 4.2%. How much more int
Mrac [35]

Answer:

  • $2016 more

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Borrowed amount = $12000
  • Interest rate = 4.2% per year simple

<u>Interest in 1 year:</u>

  • $12000*4.2/100 = $504

<u>Interest in 5 years:</u>

  • $12000*4.2*5/100 = $2520

<u>The difference between 1-year interest and 5-year interest:</u>

  • $2520 - $504 = $2016
