"The sum of twice a number and 7"

Find the common ratio for this geometric sequence 8, 2, 1/2, 1/8, 1/32

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Multiply 1/4 ; dividing 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that in each number going from left to right, it decreases by dividing 4 each time (or multiplying 1/4)

8/4 = 2 ; 2/4 = 1/2 ; (1/2)/(4) = 1/8 ; etc.

(8)(1/4) = 2 ; (2)(1/4) = 1/2 ; etc.

The switchboard in a Minneapolis law office gets an average of 5.5 incoming phone calls during the noon hour on Mondays. Experie

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

2.35 calls

Step-by-step explanation:

The presented scenario can be modeled by a Poisson distribution with an average number of calls (μ) of 5.5 during the noon hour on Mondays.

Therefore, the standard deviation for the number of calls received, X, is given by:

$\sigma =\sqrt \mu\\\sigma =\sqrt5.5\\\sigma =2.35\ calls$

The standard deviation of X is 2.35 calls.

Write the product as a trinomial.(k – 1)(k – 4)

SashulF [63]

(k - 1)(k - 4)

Use FOIL to solve this.

First
k * k
Outer
k * -4
Inner
-1 * k
Last
-1 * -4

k^2 - 4k - 1k + 4

k^2 - 5k + 4 is the trinomial.

Can anyone help me solve a trigonomic identity problem and also help me how to do it step by step?

dusya [7]

$\bf cot(\theta)=\cfrac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}
\qquad csc(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{sin(\theta)}
\\\\\\
sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{cos(\theta )cot(\theta )}{1-sin(\theta )}-1=csc(\theta )\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{cos(\theta )\cdot \frac{cos(\theta )}{sin(\theta )}}{1-sin(\theta )}-1\implies \cfrac{\frac{cos^2(\theta )}{sin(\theta )}}{\frac{1-sin(\theta )}{1}}-1\implies 
\cfrac{cos^2(\theta )}{sin(\theta )}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1-sin(\theta )}-1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{cos^2(\theta )}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}-1\implies 
\cfrac{cos^2(\theta )-1[sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]]}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}$

$\bf \cfrac{cos^2(\theta )-1[sin(\theta )-sin^2(\theta )]}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(\theta )-sin(\theta )+sin^2(\theta )}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{cos^2(\theta )+sin^2(\theta )-sin(\theta )}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}\implies \cfrac{\underline{1-sin(\theta )}}{sin(\theta )\underline{[1-sin(\theta )]}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{sin(\theta )}\implies csc(\theta )$
