A sequence of numbers a1, a2, a3, . . . is defined as follows: a1 = 3, a2 = 5, and every term in the sequence after a2 is the pr

oduct of all terms in the sequence preceding it, e.g., a3 = (a1)(a2) and a4 = (a1)(a2)(a3). If an = t and n > 2, what is the value of an+2 in terms of t ?
(A) 4t (B) t^2 (C) t^3 (D) t^4 (E) t^8

Answer:

  (D)  t^4

Step-by-step explanation:

You have defined ...

  a3 = a2·a1

  a4 = a3·(a2·a1) = a3²

  a5 = a4·(a3·a2·a1) = a4² = (a3²)² = a3⁴

Then if a3 = t, a5 = t⁴

Given points A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4) determine the value of x such that all three points are collinear
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

x=\frac{83}{50}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the three points are collinear

then

m_A_B=m_A_C

we have

A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

step 1

Find the slope AB

we have

A(1,\frac{2}{3}),B(x,-\frac{4}{5})

substitute in the formula

m_A_B=\frac{-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{3}}{x-1}

m_A_B=\frac{\frac{-12-10}{15}}{x-1}

m_A_B=-\frac{22}{15(x-1)}

step 2

Find the slope AC

we have

A(1,\frac{2}{3}),C(-\frac{1}{2},4)

substitute in the formula

m_A_C=\frac{4-\frac{2}{3}}{-\frac{1}{2}-1}

m_A_C=\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{-\frac{3}{2}}

m_A_C=-\frac{20}{9}

step 3

Equate the slopes

m_A_B=m_A_C

-\frac{22}{15(x-1)}=-\frac{20}{9}

solve for x

15(x-1)20=22(9)

300x-300=198

300x=198+300

300x=498

x=\frac{498}{300}

simplify

x=\frac{83}{50}

Using scalar multiplication, find 5u if u= &lt;2, 4&gt;.
kicyunya [14]

Using scalar multiplication, it is found that 5u = <10,20>.

<h3>What is scalar multiplication?</h3>
  • It is when a vector is multiplied by a constant, and it means that each term of the vector is multiplied by the constant.

In this problem, the vector is:

u = <2,4>

Since each term is multiplied by 5:

5u = <5 x 2, 5 x 4> = <10,20>.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

0.8 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{100}}=0.697

0.8 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{100}}=0.903

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.697;0.903)

And the best option is : 0.697 to 0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

For this case the conditions we have the conditions to assume a normal distribution for the population proportion since:

np=100*0.8=80 >10 , n(1-p) = 10*(1-0.8) =20 >10

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

The estimated proportion is given by \hat p =\frac{80}{100} =0.8. If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.8 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{100}}=0.697

0.8 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{100}}=0.903

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.697;0.903)

And the best option is : 0.697 to 0.903
