What are the explicit equation and domain for an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 5 and a second term of 2? (5 points)

1 answer:

6 0

The third choice is appropriate.
an = 5 - 3(n - 1); all integers n ≥ 1

_____
This equation follows the form for the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
where a1 is the first term (corresponding to n=1), and d is the common difference. From the problem statement, a1 = 5 and d = 2 - 5 = -3.

What is (2-2i√3)4 equivalent to?

maxonik [38]

a. (2 - 2i√3)⁴ in polar form is 256(cos(-4π/3) + isin(-4π/3)) = 256cis(-4π/3)

b. (2 - 2i√3)⁴ in rectangular form is -128 + 128√3

To answer the question, we need to know what complex numbers are

<h3>What are complex numbers?</h3>

Complex numbers are numbers of the form z = x + iy

<h3>a. Complex numbers in polar form</h3>

Complex numbers in polar form z = r(cosθ + isinθ) where

r = √(x² + y²) and
θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)

Given that z = (2 - 2i√3)⁴ =

So,

x = 2 and
y = -2√3

So, converting to polar form

r = √(x² + y²)

= √[2² + (-2√3)²]

= √[4 + 4(3)]

= √[4 + 12]

= √16

= 4

θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)

θ = tan⁻¹(-2√3/2)

θ = tan⁻¹(-√3)

θ = -π/3

So, z = r(cosθ + isinθ)

= 4(cos(-π/3) + isin(-π/3))

<h3>Powers of complex numbers</h3>

A complex number z raised to power n is zⁿ = rⁿ(cosnθ + isin(nθ)]

z⁴ = (2 - 2i√3)⁴

= r⁴(cos4θ + isin4θ)

= 4⁴(cos(4 × -π/3) + isin(4 × -π/3))

= 256(cos(-4π/3) + isin(-4π/3))

= 256cis(-4π/3)

(2 - 2i√3)⁴ in polar form is 256(cos(-4π/3) + isin(-4π/3)) = 256cis(-4π/3)

<h3>b. Complex numbers in rectangular form</h3>

The complex number z = r(cosθ + isinθ) in rectangular form is z = x + iy where

x = rcosθ and
y = rsinθ

Given that z⁴ = 256(cos(-4π/3) + isin(-4π/3)) in rectangular form,

x = rcosθ

= 256(cos(-4π/3)

= 256cos(-4 × 60°)

= 256cos(-240)

= 256cos(240)

= 256 × -1/2

= -128

y = rsinθ

= 256sin(-4π/3)

= 256sin(-4 × 60°)

= 256sin(-240)

= -256sin240

= -256 × -√3/2

= 128√3

So, z⁴ = x + iy

= -128 + 128√3

So, (2 - 2i√3)⁴ in rectangular form is -128 + 128√3

The income distribution in a county is a normal distribution with a mean income of $10,000. The top 2.5% of the wage earners ear

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

<em>84%</em><em> of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7%)-

According to this around 95% of the data will fall within two standard deviations of the mean.

As the bell curve is symmetrical, so the remaining 5% will be divided into 2 equal parts. So 2.5% will be above 2 standard deviation and 2.5% will be below 2 standard deviation.

As it is given that, the top 2.5% of the wage earners earn $18,000 or more, so 18,000 is 2 standard deviation away from the mean 10,000.

i.e $2\sigma=18000-10000=8000$
