Mathematics

Tanya [424]3 years ago

To determine the nth term, we must create a function.

f(n) = 1st term + common difference (n - 1)

n = term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence
common difference = the difference between two consecutive numbers in the sequence.

based on the above sequence, the 1st term is 2, its common difference is 3.

f(n) = 2 + 3(n-1)

Assuming we are looking for the 5th term
f(5) = 2 + 3(5-1)
       = 2 + 3(4)
       = 2 + 12
f(5) = 14   as you can see in the above sequence 14 is the 5th term.

For any other value of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number of the term and solve the equation.

The Regency Hotel has enough space at its entrance for six taxicabs to line up, wait for guests, and then load passengers. Cabs
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(1) 22.81 minutes

(2) 0.171

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, the values will be:

The service rate of guess will be:

= 5+3.5

= 8.5 \ minutes

The mean arrival rate will be:

\lambda =\frac{60}{5}

  =7.5 \ cabs/hr

The mean service rate will be:

\mu= 7.05 \ cabs/hr

(1)

The average time a cab must wait will be:

⇒ W_q=22.95-\frac{1}{7.05}

⇒       =\frac{161.798-1}{7.05}

⇒       =\frac{160.798}{7.05}

⇒       =22.81 \ minutes

(2)

The required probability will be:

⇒ P(X\geq 6)=\frac{1-2.115}{1-7.5}

⇒                  =\frac{-1.1115}{-6.5}

⇒                  =0.171

Use the graph of the function to find f(-2)
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Answer D:  f(-2) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(-2) we need to find what is the y-value that the graph shows for the x-value "-2".

To find such, we look for the value x = -2 on the horizontal (x) axis (located two units to the left of the origin of coordinates (0,0)), and from there, we investigate at what y-value (value on the vertical y-axis) a line that follows the vertical grid passing through x = -2, intercepts the graph of the function.

That is pictured with a red dot in the attached image. Notice that the y-value at which such intersection occurs is y = 2.

Therefore f(-2) = 2
