What times what is 216

Use inductive reasoning to find the next term in this sequence 2,3,5,9,17. Then explain the rule for the pattern.

NISA [10]

We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.

We can write the terms of this sequence as

$2=2^0+1\\
3=2^1+1\\
5=2^2+1\\
9=2^3+1\\
17=2^4+1\\$

From the above term we can see that for the first term we take exponent 0 on 2 and then add 1 .

For second term we take exponent 1 on 2 and then add 1 .

For third term we take exponent 2 on 2 and then add 1 .

Using this fact for the next term of the sequence i.e. 6th term, we can take exponent 5 on 2 and then add 1 .

Therefore, next term of the sequence is given by

$2^5+1\\
=32+1\\
=33$

Therefore, the next term is 33.

Using the above facts, the pattern is given by

$a_n=2^{n-1}+1$

a manufacturer has determined that if his company sells x items per day then their profit is given by P=-x^2+ 700 x-10000 euros.

Radda [10]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the minimum amount of items, x, that need to be sold for the manufacturer to make a profit, we can use the quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}; x= \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$x= \frac{-700+\sqrt{700^{2}-4(a)(-10000) } }{2(1)}; x= \frac{-700-\sqrt{700^{2}-4(a)(-10000) } }{2(1)}$

$x= \frac{-700+\sqrt{530000} }{2}; x= \frac{-700-\sqrt{530000} }{2}$

$x=\frac{-700+100\sqrt{53} }{2}; x=\frac{-700-100\sqrt{53} }{2};$

$x=-350 + 50\sqrt53 = 14.005; x = -350 - 50\sqrt53 = -714.005$

In context of the problem, we can only rely on the positive value, as the negative value would lead to a loss of profit.

$(-714.005)^2+700(-714.005)-10000=-0.360$

Furthermore, we must round to the nearest whole number, as you cannot make part of an item.

Lastly, if you were to plug in 14 into the equation for Profit, you would still have a negative number (i.e. a negative profit), thus requiring the manufacturer to make no less than 15 items to make a profit:

$(14)^2+700(14)-10000=-4\\\\(15)^2+700(15)-10000=725$

An Airliner has a capacity for 300 passengers. If the company overbook a flight with 320 passengers, What is the probability tha

TEA [102]

Answer:

The probability is $P(X >300 ) = 0.97219$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The capacity of an Airliner is k = 300 passengers

The sample size n = 320 passengers

The probability the a randomly selected passenger shows up on to the airport

$p = 0.96$

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n* p$

=> $\mu = 320 * 0.96$

=> $\mu = 307.2$

Generally the standard deviation is

$\sigma = \sqrt{n * p * (1 -p ) }$

=> $\sigma = \sqrt{320 * 0.96 * (1 -0.96 ) }$

=> $\sigma =3.50$

Applying Normal approximation of binomial distribution

Generally the probability that there will not be enough seats to accommodate all passengers is mathematically represented as

$P(X > k ) = P( \frac{ X -\mu }{\sigma } > \frac{k - \mu}{\sigma } )$

Here $\frac{ X -\mu }{\sigma } =Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )$

=> $P(X >300 ) = P(Z > \frac{300 - 307.2}{3.50} )$

Now applying continuity correction we have

$P(X >300 ) = P(Z > \frac{[300+0.5] - 307.2}{3.50} )$

=> $P(X >300 ) = P(Z > \frac{[300.5] - 307.2}{3.50} )$

=> $P(X >300 ) = P(Z > -1.914 )$

From the z-table

$P(Z > -1.914 ) = 0.97219$

So

$P(X >300 ) = 0.97219$

Erin has 1 7/8 pounds of trail mix. She wants to make 1/12-pound bags of the mix for snacks. How many full bags can she make?

Andreyy89

For this question , you just need to divide 1 7/8 with 1/12

1 7/8 : 1/12

= 15/8 : 1/12

= 15/8 x 12/1

= 22.5 bags.

So i guess she can make around 22 full bags

hope this helps
