Question: A number decreased by 24 is -1

Answer: 23

Explanation: WORK BACKWARDS... 

-1 + 24 = 23

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The word decreased indicates the use of subtraction, so to figure out our answer we do the opposite, -1 + 24 = 23, after that we then subtract, 23 - 24 = -1, there for your answer should be 23 - 24 = -1, or more simply the number that has to be decreased to make the statement true is 23

Evaluate f(x) = -4x + 7 when x = 2 and x = -2.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

f(x)=-1 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you put -2 and 2 into the x.

f(x) = -4(-2) + 7 = -1

f(x) = -4(2) + 7 = 15

f(x)=-1 and 15 are your answers.

The power is the probability that the assembly process is not stopped when it should be because a high number of defective items

choli [55]

Answer:

B. The power is the probability that the assembly process continues because the proportion of items that must be rejected has not increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is the percentage which determines the occurrence of an event. The probability measure is of power determines that the assembly process will continue because the proportion of the items that must be rejected is not increased.

Jason scored a total of 38.14points in four events during his state gymnastic compitition.if he had the same score for each even

Solnce55 [7]

That would simply be
38.14 ÷ 4 = 9.535

thus he scored 9.535 on each event

Solve these recurrence relations together with the initial conditions given. a) an= an−1+6an−2 for n ≥ 2, a0= 3, a1= 6 b) an= 7a

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a) 3/5·((-2)^n + 4·3^n)
b) 3·2^n - 5^n
c) 3·2^n + 4^n
d) 4 - 3 n
e) 2 + 3·(-1)^n
f) (-3)^n·(3 - 2n)
g) ((-2 - √19)^n·(-6 + √19) + (-2 + √19)^n·(6 + √19))/√19

Step-by-step explanation:

These homogeneous recurrence relations of degree 2 have one of two solutions. Problems a, b, c, e, g have one solution; problems d and f have a slightly different solution. The solution method is similar, up to a point.

If there is a solution of the form $a[n]=r^n$ , then it will satisfy ...

$r^n=c_1\cdot r^{n-1}+c_2\cdot r^{n-2}$

Rearranging and dividing by $r^{n-2}$ , we get the quadratic ...

$r^2-c_1r-c_2=0$

The quadratic formula tells us values of r that satisfy this are ...

$r=\dfrac{c_1\pm\sqrt{c_1^2+4c_2}}{2}$

We can call these values of r by the names r₁ and r₂.

Then, for some coefficients p and q, the solution to the recurrence relation is ...

$a[n]=pr_1^n+qr_2^n$

We can find p and q by solving the initial condition equations:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&1\\r_1&r_2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}p\\q\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}a[0]\\a[1]\end{array}\right]$

These have the solution ...

$p=\dfrac{a[0]r_2-a[1]}{r_2-r_1}\\\\q=\dfrac{a[1]-a[0]r_1}{r_2-r_1}$

_____

Using these formulas on the first recurrence relation, we get ...

$c_1=1,\ c_2=6,\ a[0]=3,\ a[1]=6\\\\r_1=\dfrac{1+\sqrt{1^2+4\cdot 6}}{2}=3,\ r_2=\dfrac{1-\sqrt{1^2+4\cdot 6}}{2}=-2\\\\p=\dfrac{3(-2)-6}{-5}=\dfrac{12}{5},\ q=\dfrac{6-3(3)}{-5}=\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\a[n]=\dfrac{3}{5}(-2)^n+\dfrac{12}{5}3^n$

The rest of (b), (c), (e), (g) are solved in exactly the same way. A spreadsheet or graphing calculator can ease the process of finding the roots and coefficients for the given recurrence constants. (It's a matter of plugging in the numbers and doing the arithmetic.)

_____

For problems (d) and (f), the quadratic has one root with multiplicity 2. So, the formulas for p and q don't work and we must do something different. The generic solution in this case is ...

$a[n]=(p+qn)r^n$

The initial condition equations are now ...

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\r&r\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}p\\q\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}a[0]\\a[1]\end{array}\right]$

and the solutions for p and q are ...

$p=a[0]\\\\q=\dfrac{a[1]-a[0]r}{r}$

Using these formulas on problem (d), we get ...

$c_1=2,\ c_2=-1,\ a[0]=4,\ a[1]=1\\\\r=\dfrac{2+\sqrt{2^2+4(-1)}}{2}=1\\\\p=4,\ q=\dfrac{1-4(1)}{1}=-3\\\\a[n]=4-3n$

And for problem (f), we get ...

$c_1=-6,\ c_2=-9,\ a[0]=3,\ a[1]=-3\\\\r=\dfrac{-6+\sqrt{6^2+4(-9)}}{2}=-3\\\\p=3,\ q=\dfrac{-3-3(-3)}{-3}=-2\\\\a[n]=(3-2n)(-3)^n$

Comment on problem g

Yes, the bases of the exponential terms are conjugate irrational numbers. When the terms are evaluated, they do resolve to rational numbers.
