Use
a(i)=a1*r^(i-1)
we know that a(5)=a1*(1/2)^(5-1)=a1/16 = 1/4
solve for a1=(1/4)*16=4
=>
sequence: 
4,2,1,1/2,1/4,1/8,1/16,...

Suppose a shipment of 120 electronic components contains 3 defective components. to determine whether the shipment should be​ ac
Likurg_2 [28]

For this problem, the most accurate is to use combinations


Because the order in which it was selected in the components does not matter to us, we use combinations

Then the combinations are nC_r = \frac{ n! }{r! (n-r)!}

n represents the amount of things you can choose and choose r from them


You need the probability that the 3 selected components at least one are defective.

That is the same as:

(1 - probability that no component of the selection is defective).

The probability that none of the 3 selected components are defective is:

P = \frac{_{117}C_3}{_{120}C_3}


Where _{117}C_3 is the number of ways to select 3 non-defective components from 117 non-defective components and _{120}C_3 is the number of ways to select 3 components from 120.

_{117}C_3 = 260130

_{120}C_3 = 280840


So:

P = \frac{260130}{280840} = 0.927


Finally, the probability that at least one of the selected components is defective is:


P = 1-0.927 = 0.0737

  P = 7.4%

13. This shows a part of a multiplication table. Find the
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:5x7=35

8x5=40

Step-by-step explanation: well first think of what number can divide into 40 and 35 and come out as 5. So for example 35 divided 7 equals 5 and 40 divided 8 = 5 so the missing number is either 8 or 7

Elizabeth wants to use a sheet of fiberboard 27 inches long to create a skateboard ramp with a 17^{\circ}
erma4kov [3.2K]

The height of the ramp above the ground from its highest end is 7.9 inches.

<h3>What is height?</h3>

Height is the vertical distance between two points.

To calculate the height of the ramp above the ground, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • h = Lsin∅............. Equation 1

Where:

  • h = Height of the ramp above the ground
  • L = Length of the fiberboard
  • ∅ = Angle of elevation from the ground

From the question,

Given:

  • L = 27 inches
  • ∅ = 17°

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • h = 27×sin17°
  • h = 7.89
  • h ≈ 7.9 inches

Hence, the height of the ramp above the ground is 7.9 inches.

I need help with this practice problem solving This is trigonometry from my ACT prep guide
Novay_Z [31]

Take into account, that in general, a cosine function of amplitude A, period T and vertical translation b, can be written as follow:

f(x)=A\cos (\frac{2\pi}{T}x)+b

In the given case, you have:

A = 4

T = 3π/4

b = -3

By replacing you obtain:

\begin{gathered} f(x)=4\cos (\frac{2\pi}{\frac{3\pi}{4}}x)-3 \\ f(x)=4\cos (\frac{8}{3}x)-3 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:

f(x) = 4cos(8/3 x) - 3
