Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Since it is AP, the common difference is same for any term:</u>

  • (4x - 2) - (x + 1) = (6x - 3) - (4x - 2)
  • 3x - 3 = 2x -1
  • 3x - 2x = 3 - 1
  • x= 2

<u>The first 3 terms are:</u>

  • 3, 6, 9

<u>Since the last term is 18, it means this AP has 6 terms:</u>

  • {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}

<u>Answer: </u>as we need to find the value of x only, it is = 2

Write a quadratic function in standard form with zeros 1 and -10
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

f(x)=x^2+9x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Standard Form of Quadratic Function</u>

The standard form of a quadratic function is:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

where a,b, and c are constants.

The factored form of a quadratic equation is:

f(x)=a(x-\alpha)(x-\beta)

Where \alpha and \beta are the roots or zeros of f, and a is constant.

We know the zeros of the function are 1 and -10. The function is:

f(x)=a(x-1)(x-(-10))

f(x)=a(x-1)(x+10)

Operating:

f(x)=a(x^2+10x-x-10)

Joining like terms:

f(x)=a(x^2+9x-10)

Since we are not given any more restrictions, we can choose the value of a=1, thus. the required function is:

\boxed{f(x)=x^2+9x-10}

I NEED HELP QUICKLY!! Find the sum of the first 42 terms of the sequences (12, 16, 20, ....)
12345 [234]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the common difference between consecutive terms of the sequence.

d = 16 - 12 = 20 - 16 = 4

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with sum to n terms

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 12 and d = 4, thus

S_{42} = \frac{42}{2} [ (2 × 12) + (41 × 4) ]

                          = 21( 24 + 164) = 21 × 188 = 3948 → B

A survey recently reported that the mean national annual expenditure for inpatient and outpatient services of all persons over 6
zlopas [31]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the p-value for this test is of 0.0375.

At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the expenses are the same as the national average</u>, that is, of $5,423. Hence:

H_0: \mu = 5423

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if it is higher</u>, hence:

H_1: \mu > 5423

We have the <u>standard deviation for the population</u>, thus, the z-distribution is used. The test statistic is given by:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The parameters are:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation of the sample.
  • n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the <u>parameters</u> are: \overline{x} = 5516, \mu = 5423, \sigma = 979, n = 352

The value of the <u>test statistic</u> is:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{5516 - 5423}{\frac{979}{\sqrt{352}}}

z = 1.78

The p-value is the probability of finding a sample mean above $5,516, which is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.78</u>.

  • Looking at the z-table, z = 1.78 has a p-value of 0.9625.

1 - 0.9625 = 0.0375

Hence, the p-value for this test is of 0.0375.
