First term t(1)=(x-y)
common ratio =(x+y)  (don't omit the parentheses)
then the nth term:
t(n)=(x-y)(x+y)^(n-1)
check:
t(1)=(x-y)(x+y)^(1-1)=(x-y)(x+y)^0=(x-y)(1)=(x-y)
t(3)=(x-y)(x+y)^(3-1)=(x-y)(x+y)^2

When n is small, t(n) can also be found by repeated multiplication of the common ratio (x+y)

OLEGan [10]

It is given in the question that

A farmer owns about 960 acres of land. If his farm is square.

First we convert acres to miles square, and the conversion expression is

1 acre=0.0015625 mi^2

Therefore,

960acres=960*0.0015625=1.5 mi^2

Let the side length of the square be x miles .

And the formula of area of square is

Area=side^2
\\
1.5=side^2
\\
side= \sqrt{1.5}=1.2 miles

A company is interested on average wages of employee and variance. A sample of 20 workers is taken and it is found that mean wag
vfiekz [6]
Given that the mean is $9.5 and the standard deviation is $1.30, the standard error will be given by:
σ/√n
where
σ-standard deviation
n=sample size

thus, we shal have:
1.30/√20
=0.2906
Next we find the margin error
0.2906*2=0.581
thus the confidence interval will be:
(9.5+0.581, 9.5-0.581)
=(10.081,8.919)
