Answer:

The first 5 terms are -6,-25,-44,-63 and -82

The sequence is arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A(n + 1) = A(n) − 19 for n ≥ 1 and A(1) = −6

A(1) = -6

A(2) = A(1) − 19 = -6 - 19 = -25

A(3) = A(2) − 19 = -25 - 19 = -44

A(4) = A(3) − 19 = -44 - 19 = -63

A(5) = A(4) − 19 = -63 - 19 = -82

So the first 5 terms are -6,-25,-44,-63 and -82

If they are in arithmetic the common difference will be same, if geometric common ratio will be same.

Let us check common difference,

-25-(-6) = -19

-44-(-25) = -19

-63-(-44) = -19

-82-(-63) = -19

So common difference is same, so the sequence is arithmetic.

Use the Empirical Rule. The mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 68 miles per hour, with a standard

Vladimir79 [104]

About 99.7% of vehicles whose speeds are between 59 miles per hour and 77 miles per hour.

Empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, 68% lie within one standard deviations, 95% lie within two standard deviations, and 99.7% lie within three standard deviations of the mean.

Given that mean (μ) = 68 miles per hour, standard deviation (σ) = 3 miles per hour.

68% lie within one standard deviation = (μ ± σ) = (68 ± 3) = (65, 71).

Hence 68% of the vehicle speed is between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.

95% lie within two standard deviation = (μ ± 2σ) = (68 ± 2*3) = (62, 74).

Hence 95% of the vehicle speed is between 62 miles per hour and 74 miles per hour.

99.7% lie within three standard deviation = (μ ± 3σ) = (68 ± 3*3) = (59, 77).

Hence 99.7% of the vehicle speed is between 59 miles per hour and 77 miles per hour.

Please help with this ASAP!!1

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

a. OM is congruent to ON.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the HL Theorem, you must have a congruent hypotenuse and a congruent leg. In this case, you have two congruent hypotenuses. You just need to find two congruent legs.

a. OM is congruent to ON. This says that two legs are congruent, so this is your answer.

b. LM is congruent to ML. This does not help as it is saying a segment is the same as the same segment.

c. and d. Both of these use angle measurements, which does not help with the HL Theorem.

Hope this helps!

Find X (30,60,90) need help asap asap

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The correct answer will be X = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras

AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2

2^2 + (2√3)^2 = AC^2

4 + (4*3) = AC^2

4+12 = AC ^ 2

AC ^2 = 16

AC = √16 = 4
