Answer:

t1 = 14 d= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

tn = t1 + d ( n-1)

t6 = t1 + d(6-1)

4 = t1+ 5d

t10 = t1 +d (10-1)

-4 = t1 +d9

Take the two equations and subtract to eliminate a1

4 = t1+ 5d

- (-4 = t1 +d9)

-------------------------

4 = t1+ 5d

+4 =- t1 -d9

-------------------------

8 = -4d

Divide each side by -4

8/-4 = -4d/-4

-2 =d

Now we can find t1

4 = t1+ 5d

4 = t1 + 5(-2)

4 = t1 -10

Add 10 to each side

4+10 = t1

14 = t1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

t1 = a

tn = a + (n-1)d

t6 = a + 5d = 4

a = 4 - 5d

t10 = a + 9d = -4

4 - 5d + 9d = -4

-8 = 4d

d = -2

a = 4 - 5(-2)

= 4 + 10

= 14

Which of the following can be modeled with an exponential function? Select all that apply.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer: The answers are

(ii) The cost to attend Universal Studios increases by 1% each year,

(iii) An endangered species population is decreasing by 12% each year,

(iv) The population of a town that is growing by 5% each year.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given five functions and we are to select those which can be modelled with an exponential function.

(i) Here, height is varying with respect to time, so it will be a linear function.

(ii) Here, the cost to attend Universal Studios is increasing by 1% every year, so this will be an exponential function.

(iii) Here, an endangered species population is decreasing by 12% each year.

So, this will also be an exponential function.

(iv) Since we are considering the distance travelled by the bicycle at a constant speed of 25 mph, so this will be a linear function.

(v) Here also the population is growing by 5% each year. So, the function will be exponential.

Thus, the correct answer is second, third and fifth.

Assume the population has a normal distribution. A sample of 25 randomly selected students Has a mean test score of 81.5 With a

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean test score is between 77.29 and 85.71.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 25 - 1 = 24

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 24 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95$ . So we have T = 2.064

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.064\frac{10.2}{\sqrt{25}} = 4.21$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 81.5 - 4.21 = 77.29

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 81.5 + 4.21 = 85.71.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean test score is between 77.29 and 85.71.
