Find the 16th term for the sequence a (n)=3-2n.

2 answers:

7 0

In the expression given, the "n" is referring to a certain term, in this case, it would be the 16th term. So in order to find the 16th term, all you have to do is substitute n as 16 in the expression, so the answer is $a(n)=3-2(16)=3-32=-29$ . So the 16th term of the sequence is -29.

Just plug in 16 for n

a(16) = 3 - 2(16)

a(16) = 3 - 32

a(16) = -29

so the answer is -29

Find the Total surface area

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

You may not recognize this...but the base forms a "Pythagorean" right triangle with legs of 6 and 8 cm

The area of a right triangle is (1/2) ( product of leg lengths)

So...the area of the base = (1/2) (6 * 8 ) = (1/2) 48 = 24 cm^2

And the volume of the prism is just the base area x height = 24 x 7 = 192 cm^2

If you have 66 data observations in a sample, how many classes (bins) does the sturges' rule recommend for you to construct a fr

Iteru [2.4K]

According to Sturge's rule, number of classes or bins recommended to construct a frequency distribution is k ≈ 7

Sturge's Rule: There are no hard and fast guidelines for the size of a class interval or bin when building a frequency distribution table. However, Sturge's rule offers advice on how many intervals one can make if one is genuinely unable to choose a class width. Sturge's rule advises that the class interval number be for a set of n observations.

Given,

n = 66

We know that,

According to Sturge's rule, the optimal number of class intervals can be determined by using the equation:

$k=1+log_{2} n$

Here, n is equal to 66 and by substituting the value to the equation we get:

$k=1+log_{2} (66)$

k = 7.0444

k ≈ 7

Find the product of 4/5 and 5/12 put in simplest form

kotegsom [21]

Hello!

The answer is 20/60 simplest form is 1/3

To get 20/60 you must multiply the Numerator by Numerator (4*5) and Denominator by Denominator (5*12). Your answer will be 20/60.

To get 1/3 you must simplify a number that can go into 20 and 60 (which is 10). Divide 20/10 and 60/10 and get 2/6. Simplify 2/6 by 2 and get 1/3.

Stu Reese has a $150,000 7½% mortgage. His monthly payment is $1,010.10. His first payment will reduce the principal to an outst

BabaBlast [244]

Given that

starting outstanding balance = $150000

rate of interest = 7.5% per year

so rate of interest for 1 month = (7.5/12)% = 0.635%

outstanding balance before 1st monthly payment = starting outstanding balance + 0.625% of interest on starting outstanding balance

= 150000 + (0.625 /100) × 150000

= 150000 + 937.5 = $150937.5

Reduction = outstanding balance after one month - first monthly payment

Reduction = $150937.5 - 1010.10 = 149927.40

so out of first payment of $1,010.10 , $937.5 goes towards interest and remaining $72.6 goes towards reduction of principal that is 150000 - $72.6 = 149927.40.

so correct option is B that is $149927.40.

The diameter of the average cell in the human body is 1 x 10-5 meters. The diameter of a grain of sand is about 2 x 10-4 meters.

MariettaO [177]

PART A:

Scientific notation is given by A×10ⁿ where A is any number in a unit and 'n' is an integer.

0.000025 = 2.5×10⁻⁵

PART B:

Diameter of grain of sand ÷ Diameter of human body average cell
(2×10⁻⁴) ÷ (1×10⁻⁵)
(2÷1) × (10⁻⁴÷10⁻⁵)
2 × (10⁻⁴ ⁻ ⁻⁵) = 2 × 10⁽⁻⁴⁺⁵⁾ = 2 × 10¹ = 20 times bigger

PART C:

The diameter of human body's average cell in nanometer
1 × 10⁻⁵ metre = 1 × 10⁻⁵ × 10⁹ = 1 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁺⁹⁾ = 1 × 10⁴ nanometer

PART D:

Smallest bacteria = 300 nanometer
300 nm = 300 ÷ 10⁹ = (3 × 10²) ÷ 10⁹ = 3 × (10²⁻⁹) = 3 × 10⁻⁷ meter

PART E:

Laws of exponents that are applied in scientific notation is

xᵇ × xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁺ᵃ⁾
xᵇ ÷ xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁻ᵃ⁾
