Term of rank n in a G.P: a₅ = arⁿ⁻¹

a₂ = a₁.r²⁻¹ = a₁.r = - 24
a₅ = a₁.r⁵⁻¹ = a₁.r₄ = 1536 ↔ a₁.r x r³ = 1536, but  a₁.r = - 24

then: (-24) x r³ = 1536
r³ = (1536)/(-24) and r³ = - 64³ and r = ∛- 64 = r and r = -4

If r = -4 then a₁ =6 and the equation becomes :

a₅ =a₁r⁴  or a₅ =6(-4)⁴

The mean of the data set is 40 and one standard deviation is 5. About what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 81.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of the data set is given to be 40

⇒ μ = 40

Standard deviation of the data set is given to be 5

⇒ σ = 5

Now we are supposed to find out what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

\implies z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Now for P(35 < x < 50) :

Substitute x = 35 ⇒ z = -1

Substitute x = 50 ⇒ z = 2

So, P(-1 < z < 2) = P(z < 2) - P(z < -1)

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 0.9772 - 0.1587

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 0.8185

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 81.8%

Therefore, 81.8% percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

Hence, The correct option is D. 81.8%

Please include the steps that took you to get your answer. I am very confused on what to do with the 1/2.
Juliette [100K]

First let's review how to expand this!

(ax+b)^2=a^2*x^2+2abx+a^2

In this case

(2x^2+1/2)^2=2^2*x^2+2*1/2*2x+(1/2)^2

=4x^2+2x+1/4

Done!

Christina is building a slide for her kids. The ladder is 4 feet tall and the slide is 9 feet long. What is the distance between
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: 8.1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It may help to draw it out but for this question you would have to use pythagoras' theorem.

The formula for the shorter side is a²=c²-b²

The height of this triangle is 4ft (b) and the hypotenuse (the diagonal that stretches from the top to the bottom) is 9ft (c).

When we put the numbers in the formula you get a²=9²-4²

9²=81

4²=16

a²=81-16

a²=65

Then because we want to find a on it's own you would have to square root 65 which is 8.1 (to the nearest tenth)
