If human height were quantized in one-foot increments, what would happen to the height of a child as she grows up?

1 answer:

7 0

I believe what the problem means is that the height of the child, if he/she grows in height, the mesurements are equal to 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, etc only. and no decimals or fractions in between. it is also said that a human stops growing at the age of 20 naturally, hence with this increment, a child can grow incredibly very tall.

The value of d is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is $u_{n}=u_{1}+(n-1)d$ , where

$u_{1}$ is the first term
d is the common difference between each 2 consecutive terms

The nth term of the geometric sequence is $u_{n}=u_{1}r^{n-1}$ , where

$u_{1}$ is the first term
r is the common ratio between each two consecutive terms $r=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{3}}{u_{2}}$

∵ $u_{1}$ of an arithmetic sequence is 1

∵ The common difference is d, where d ≠ 0

∵ $u_{2}$ , $u_{3}$ , $u_{6}$ are the first 3 terms of a geometric sequence

∵ $u_{2}$ = 1 + (2 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + d

∵ $u_{3}$ = 1 + (3 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + 2d

∵ $u_{6}$ = 1 + (6 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + 5d

∴ The first 3 terms of the geometric sequence are (1 + d) , (1 + 2d) ,

(1 + 5d)

∵ The common ratio in the geometric sequence is $r=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{3}}{u_{2}}$

∴ $r=\frac{1+2d}{1+d}=\frac{1+5d}{1+2d}$

- Use cross multiplication with the equal fractions

∵ $\frac{1+2d}{1+d}=\frac{1+5d}{1+2d}$

∴ (1 + 2d)(1 + 2d) = (1 + d)(1 + 5d)

∴ 1 + 2d + 2d + 4d² = 1 + 5d + d + 5d²

- Add like terms in each side

∴ 1 + 4d + 4d² = 1 + 6d + 5d²

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 4d + 4d² = 6d + 5d²

- Subtract 4d from both sides

∴ 4d² = 2d + 5d²

- Subtract 4d² from each side

∴ 0 = 2d + d²

- Take d as a common factor

∴ 0 = d(2 + d)

- Equate each factor by 0

∴ d = 0 but we will reject it because d ≠ 0

∴ 2 + d = 0

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ d = -2

The value of d is -2

Theater m has 25 rows with 27 seats in each row. how many of the seats were occupiedduring a certain show?(1) during the show, t

Elis [28]

1) 475
2)375
You need to multiply 25 by 27 and you get 675 then to get answer one you need to multiply 10 by 20 to get 200 the take 200 away from 675 to get 475 then do the same thing with the second problem 20x15 which is 300 the take 300 away from 675.

Which of the following estimates at a 95% confidence level most likely comes form a small sample?

KonstantinChe [14]

OptionAStep-by-step explanation:95% confidence interval is obtained using the following formulaCOnfidence interval lower bound = mean - critical value * sigma/sq rt nand upper bound = mean + critical value*sigma/sq rt nThus margin of error = critical value*sigma/rt nvaries indirectly as n provided others are remaining the same.Hence lower sample indicates higher margin of errorOut of 4 options given we find that 1 option has maximum margin of error as 21%Hence option. A is most likely coming from a small sample.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

<u>24000 dollars</u> invested at 4%
<u>18000 dollars</u> was invested at 7%

======================================================

Work Shown:

x = amount invested at 4%

If she invests x dollars at 4%, then the rest (42000-x) must be invested at the other rate of 7%

She earns 0.04x dollars from that first account and 0.07(42000-x) dollars from the second account

This means we have

0.04x+0.07(42000-x)

0.04x+0.07*42000-0.07x

0.04x+2940-0.07x

-0.03x+2940

This represents the total amount of money earned after 1 year.

We're told the amount earned in interest is $2220, so we can say,

-0.03x+2940 = 2220

-0.03x = 2220-2940

-0.03x = -720

x = -720/(-0.03)

x = 24000 dollars is the amount invested at 4%

42000-x = 42000-24000 = 18000 dollars was invested at 7%

----------------------

As a check, we can see that

18000+24000 = 42000

and also

0.04x = 0.04*24000 = 960 earned from the first account

0.07*18000 = 1260 earned from the second account

1260+960 = 2220 is the total interest earned from both accounts combined

This confirms our answers.
