Answer:
x =7
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
- A geometric sequence always has terms that are separated by a common ratio. For example 3 9 27 81 243 ....
- Each term is multiplied by a common number and the term before it. In this case the common term is 3.
- To get the next term after 9, you multiply 9 by 3.
- To get the common ratio divide the second term by the first and then the third term by the second
Equation
(x + 2)/(x - 4) = (3x + 6)/ (x + 2)
Solution
I would begin this problem by taking out the common factor on the top right term. You'll see why in a second.
(x + 2)/(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)/ (x + 2) Notice the two binomials on the right cancel.
- (x + 2)/(x - 4) = 3/1 Cross multiply
- (x + 2)*1 = 3*(x - 4) Remove the brackets on the right.
- x + 2 = 3x - 12 Add 12 on both sides.
- x + 2 + 12 = 3x - 12 + 12 Simplify
- x + 14 = 3x Subtract x from both sides
- 14 = 3x - x
- 2x = 14 Divide by 2
- x = 14/2
- x = 7
Answer:
By the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of the students have grade point averages that are between 1.28 and 3.8.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed(bell-shaped) random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 2.54
Standard deviation = 0.42.
Between 1.28 and 3.8?
1.28 = 2.54 - 3*0.42
So 1.28 is 3 standard deviations below the mean
3.8 = 2.54 + 3*0.42
So 3.8 is 3 standard deviations above the mean
By the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of the students have grade point averages that are between 1.28 and 3.8.
Answer:
c = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to eliminate the fraction
c = 8 × 9 = 72
note that 
= 9
Answer:
84
Step-by-step explanation:
4v^2 - m^2
let v=5 and m=-4
4 * (5)^2 - (-4)^2
4* (25) - (16)
100 - 16
84
