What is the answer to this question and step by step. <br> r-5<br> ------ =-1<br> 22
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Try -17/22

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the numbers

r-<u>1 • 5/22</u> =-1

Which is just

r- 5/22 =-1

Add 5/22 to both sides of the equation

r- 5/22 + 5/22 = <u>-1 + 5/22 </u>

which equals r= <u>-17/22</u>

HELP ASAP !!!What is the sum of the geometric series
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The ones ticked are correct

Given

6 + 18 + 54 + 162 + 486

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

18 ÷ 6 = 54 ÷ 18 = 162 ÷ 54 = 486 ÷ 162 = 3

This indicates the series is geometric with explicit formula

a_{k} = a (r)^{k-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = 6 and r = 3, thus explicit formula is

a_{k} = 6 (3)^{k-1}

The series in summation form with 5 terms in the series is

∑ 6 (3)^{k-1} for k = 1 to 5

Sum = 6 + 18 + 54 + 162 + 486 = 726

What is a situation in which a polynomial model might make sense, and why?
ololo11 [35]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial models are an excellent implementation for determining which input element reaction and their direction. These are also the most common models used for the scanning of designed experiments. It defines as:

Z = a0 + a1x1 + a2x2 + a11x12 + a22x22+ a12x1x2 + Є

It is a quadratic (second-order) polynomial model for two variables.

The single x terms are the main effect. The squared terms are quadratic effects. These are used to model curvature in the response surface. The product terms are used to model the interaction between explanatory variables where Є is an unobserved random error.

A polynomial term, quadratic or cubic, turns the linear regression model into a curve. Because x is squared or cubed, but the beta coefficient is a linear model.

In general, we can model the expected value of y as nth order polynomial, the general polynomial model is:

Y = B0 + B1x1 + B2x2 + B3x3 + … +

These models are all linear since the function is linear in terms of the new perimeter. Therefore least-squares analysis, polynomial regression can be addressed entirely using multiple regression
