Answer:

The airplane is cruising at 200 metres per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the object can be got by dividing the distance it travelled by the time taken to travel that distance.

For us to get the accurate cruising speed, we will have to convert all units to their S.I form

Distance - 1 kilometer = 1 X 1000 metres = 1000 metres

1/12 of a minute = 1/12 X 60 = 5 seconds.

Therefore the speed = distance / time

= 1000/5 = 200m/s

The airplane is cruising at 200 metres per second.

Find the 5th term of the sequence in which t1 = 8 and tn-1 = t= -3tn-1

I think you mean to say that the sequence is given recursively by

$\begin{cases}t_1=8\\t_n=-3t_{n-1}\end{cases}$

From this you can find a general pattern for the $n$ th term, but since we're only interested in determining $t_5$ , we can stop once we arrive at that. We have

$t_2=-3t_1$
$t_3=-3t_2=(-3)^2t_1$
$t_4=-3t_3=(-3)^3t_1$
$t_5=-3t_4=(-3)^4t_1$

$\implies t_5=8(-3)^4=8(81)=648$

A cell phone company says that a fully charged battery lasts 14 hours. In reality, each battery behaves a little differently. Fo

Answer:

The percentage is 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is $\mu = 14 \ hours$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 1 \ hour$

Generally on the normal distribution curve the mean divides the curve into two. with the half to the left of the mean (50% to the left )representing the percentage of the batteries that will last less than 14 hours and the area under the curve to the right (50% to the right)representing the percentage of batteries that will last longer than mean (14 hours )

Hence the percentage of the cell phone batteries that will be expected to last longer than 14 hours is 50%
