Answers:
x = -8/5 or x = 8/5
Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092
========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
- first term = 4
- second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
- third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2
The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2
We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16
Therefore, we have these two equations
Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.
-----------------
To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
We have
- a = 4 = first term
- r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
- n = 10 = number of terms to sum up
So,
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)
S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)
S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)
S10 = 4092
Answer:
(4,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
since they are negitave number and there being reflected across the y axis they will be positve
3 x^{2} + 8x +(-4) = 0
x = <u>-b + √ b² - 4ac</u>
2a
x = <u>-8 + √ 8² - 4(3)(-4)</u>
2(3)
x = <u>-8 + √64 - 48 </u>
6
x = -<u>8 + √16
</u> 6<u>
</u>x = -<u>8 + 4 </u> x = <u>-8 - 4</u>
6 6<u>
</u>x = <u>-4 </u> x = <u>-12</u>
6 6
x =<u> -2 </u> x = -2<u>
</u> 3 <u>

Answer:
A. the error term has a constant variance
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, note that it is observed the residuals increase as the predicted value increases. Now the natural logarithm transformation will change will change a skewed variable into a normal distributed value, which leads to a linear regression between the both variables, since they (the independent and dependent variables) are normal. A key assumption of linear regression is Homoscedasticity, therefore the error term obtains the same finite variance.
So as soon as the transformation is applied, the error term will therefore have a constant variance.
Answer:
P = 300
r = 0.15
n = 12
A(t) = 300(1.0125)^12t
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total credit taken for book purchase = $300
Annual Interest rate = 15% compounded monthly
Time or period = 4 years
P(1 + r/n)^nt
P in the expression above means the principal amount which is the total credit spent on book purchase = $300
r = annual interest rate on Emma's account = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15
n = number of compounding times per period ; loan which compounds monthly = number of months in a year = 12
Hence,
P = $300 ; r = 0.15 ; n = 12
Substituting into the equation :
P(1 + r/n)^nt
Simplified expression written in terms of t:
Final amount, A after t years
A(t) = 300(1 + 0.15/12)^12t
A(t) = 300(1 + 0.0125)^12t
A(t) = 300(1.0125)^12t
