This problem is half understanding the question and half just plugging in numbers.

Understanding the Question:
So its saying that n = whole number bigger than one, making n = 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Now try plugging any number n into the a_n = 4a_{n-1} equation. Let's use 2 to make it simple. If you plug in 2, you get:
a_2 = 4a_{2-1}\\
a_2 = 4a_1
Remember that the subscripts (the small numbers in the corner) are simply the term number. a_1 is term 1, a_2 is term 2, etc. The equation is saying that "term 2 = 4 times term 1."

If you keep plugging in random numbers for n, you'll see that the equation basically says, "a term = 4 times the term right before it." That makes it easy to plug and chug to get our answer.

Plugging and Chugging
Now we understand the question is asking for the first 4 terms, and each term is 4 times the last term. You're told that term 1, a_1 = 6. That makes the next four terms:

Term 2
a_2 = 4a_{2-1}\\
 a_2 = 4a_1\\
 a_2 = 4(6)\\
 a_2 = 24

Term 3
a_3 = 4a_{3-1}\\ a_3 = 4a_2\\ a_3 = 4(24)\\ a_3 = 96

Term 4
a_4 = 4a_{4-1}\\ a_4 = 4a_3\\ a_4 = 4(96)\\ a_4 = 384

Your first 4 terms are 4, 24, 96, and 384.

Can someone help please I need help
mina [271]

Answer:

C= 25n+100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see what's in the graph :

  • the image of 4 is 200 C(4)=200
  • C(2)= 150

let m be the slope of this function :

  • m= \frac{200-150}{4-2}=25

The first value in the graph is 100 wich is c(0)=100

  • so the equation is : c=25n+100

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 15000, p = 0.09

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 15000*0.09 = 1350

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{15000*0.09*0.91} = 35.05

What is the probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1500-1 = 1499. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1499 - 1350}{35.05}

Z = 4.25

Z = 4.25 has a pvalue of 1.

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

A force vector M points 3 N in the x-direction and 4 N in the y-direction. What is Vector M’s magnitude?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

5 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A force vector M points 3 N in the x-direction and 4 N in the y-direction.

We need to find the magnitude of vector M. The magnitude of the vector when they are perpendicular to each other is given by :

M=\sqrt{3^2+4^2} \\\\M=5\ N

So, the required magnitude of M is 5 N.
