What statements are always true for a square

The first three terms of an arithmetic series are 6p+2, 4p²-10 and 4p+3 respectively. Find the possible values of p. Calculate t

Doss [256]

Answer:

First Case:

$\displaystyle p=\frac{5}{2}\text{ and } d=-2$

Second Case:

$\displaystyle p=-\frac{5}{4}\text{ and } d=\frac{7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the first three terms of an arithmetic series are:

$6p+2, 4p^2-10, \text{ and } 4p+3$

Since this is an arithmetic sequence, each subsequent term is d more than the previous term, where d is our common difference.

Therefore, we can write the second term as;

$4p^2-10=(6p+2)+d$

And, likewise, for the third term:

$4p+3=(6p+2)+2d$

Let's solve for d for each of the equations.

Subtracting in the first equation yields:

$d=4p^2-6p-12$

And for the second equation:

$2d=-2p+1$

To avoid fractions, let's multiply the first equation by 2. Hence:

$2d=8p^2-12p-24$

Therefore:

$8p^2-12p-24=-2p+1$

Simplifying yields:

$8p^2-10p-25=0$

Solve for p. We can factor:

$8p^2+10p-20p-25=0$

Factor:

$2p(4p+5)-5(4p+5)=0$

Grouping:

$(2p-5)(4p+5)=0$

Zero Product Property:

$\displaystyle p_1=\frac{5}{2} \text{ or } p_2=-\frac{5}{4}$

Then, we can use the second equation to solve for d. So:

$2d_1=-2p_1+1$

Substituting:

$\begin{aligned} 2d_1&=-2(\frac{5}{2})+1 \\ 2d_1&=-5+1 \\ 2d_1&=-4 \\ d_1&=-2\end{aligned}$

So, for the first case, p is 5/2 and d is -2.

Likewise, for the second case:

$\begin{aligned} 2d_2&=-2(-\frac{5}{4})+1 \\ 2d_2&=\frac{5}{2}+1 \\ 2d_2&=\frac{7}{2} \\ d_2&=\frac{7}{4}\end{aligned}$

So, for the second case, p is -5/4, and d is 7/4.

By using the values, we can determine our series.

For Case 1, we will have:

17, 15, 13.

For Case 2, we will have:

-11/2, -15/4, -2.

Given f(x) = 4x - 3 and g(x) = 7x +5, find f(x) + g(x).

raketka [301]

Answer:

Given f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = –x2 + 5, find (g o f )(x).

(g o f )(x) = g( f(x))

= g(2x + 3)

= –( )2 + 5 ... setting up to insert the input

= –(2x + 3)2 + 5

= –(4x2 + 12x + 9) + 5

= –4x2 – 12x – 9 + 5

= –4x2 – 12x – 4

All employees at three stores of a large retail chain were asked to fill out a survey.a. Is it random b. Systematic c. Stratifie

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

d. Cluster

Step-by-step explanation:

Random: Random is asking a group of people from a population. For example, to estimate the proportion of Buffalo residents who are Bills fans, you ask 100 Buffalo residents and estimate to the entire population.

Systematic: Similar to random. For example, you want to estimate something about a population, and your sample is every 5th people you see on the street.

Cluster:Divides the population into groups, with geographic characteristics.. Each element is the groups is used. Suppose you want to study the voting choices of Buffalo Bills players. You can divide into offense, defense and special teams, and ask each player of these 3 groups.

Stratified: Done on a group of clusters, that is, from each cluster(group), a number of people are selected.

In this problem, we have that:

All employees at three stores of a large retail chain were asked to fill out a survey.

Divided by clusters(stores).

So the orrect answer is:

d. Cluster

In a lab experiment, 80 bacteria are placed in a petri dish. The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to doub

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The hourly growth rate is of 4.43%.

The function showing the number of bacteria after t hours is $P(t) = 80(1.0443)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of population growth:

The equation for the population after t hours is given by:

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 16 hours.

This means that $P(16) = 2P(0)$ . We use this to find r.

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)^{16}$

$(1+r)^{16} = 2$

$\sqrt[16]{(1+r)^{16}} = \sqrt[16]{2}$

$1 + r = 2^{\frac{1}{16}}$

$1 + r = 1.0443$

$r = 1.0443 - 1$

$r = 0.0443$

The hourly growth rate is of 4.43%.

80 bacteria are placed in a petri dish.

This means that $P(0) = 80$ .

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$P(t) = 80(1+0.0443)^t$

$P(t) = 80(1.0443)^t$

The function showing the number of bacteria after t hours is $P(t) = 80(1.0443)^t$

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The probability that exactly one of these mortgages is delinquent is 0.357.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, 8% of U.S. mortgages were delinquent in 2011. A delinquent mortgage is one that has missed at least one payment but has not yet gone to foreclosure.

A random sample of eight mortgages was selected.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$
