Answer:

12, 21, 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence described by this rule in the question is :

A(n) = 12 + (n-1)(3)

a. Finding the first term

n = 1

A(n) = 12 + (n-1)(3)

A(1) = 12 + ( 1 - 1)(3)

A(1) = 12 + (0)(3)

A(1) = 12 + 0

A(1) = 12

Therefore the first term = 12.

b. Finding the fourth term

n = 4

A(n) = 12 + (n-1)(3)

A(4) = 12 + ( 4 - 1)(3)

A(4) = 12 + (3)(3)

A(4) = 12 + 9

A(4) = 21

Therefore the fourth term = 21

c. Finding the tenth term

n = 10

A(n) = 12 + (n-1)(3)

A(10) = 12 + ( 10- 1)(3)

A(10) = 12 + (9)(3)

A(10) = 12 + 27

A(10) = 39

Therefore the tenth term = 39

The first term = 12, the fourth term = 21 and the tenth term = 39

Use the confidence interval to find the margin of error and the sample mean (0.118,0.220)
malfutka [58]

Answer:

μ = 0.169

ME = 0.051

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is:

CI = μ ± ME

So the mean is the middle of the confidence interval, and the margin of error is half the difference.

μ = (0.118 + 0.220) / 2 = 0.169

ME = (0.220 − 0.118) / 2 = 0.051

Using an ordered alphabet of 26 letters, how many ways are there to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the
mestny [16]
To find our solution, we can start off by creating a string of 27 boxes, all followed by the letters of the alphabet. Underneath the boxes, we can place 6 pairs of boxes and 15 empty boxes.The stars represent the six letters we pick. The empty boxes to the left of the stars provide the "padding" needed to ensure that no two adjacent letters are chosen. We can create this - 
\binom {21} {6}= \frac{21*20*19*18*17*16}{6*5*4*3*2*1} =21*19*17*8=54264
Thus, the answer is that there are \boxed{54264} ways to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the set are adjacent in the alphabet. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal New Year! <em>2018</em>

Maria drove from Los Angeles (elevation 330 feet) to Death Valley (elevation –282 feet). What is the difference in elevation bet
motikmotik

Answer:

612 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

LA is located at 330 feet ABOVE SEA LEVEL

Death Valley is located 282 feet BELOW SEA LEVEL

We let the sea level be at 0 (consider a number line).

So,

LA would be at +330 feet

and

Death Valley would be at -282 feet

The elevation change between the two would be the difference:

330 - (-282) = 330 + 282 = 612 feet

The difference in elevation = 612 feet
