Answer:

g(n)=80×3^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First term (a)=80

The ant population tripled every week.

So, the population of ant after 1st week will be (80 × 3) = 240

After 2 weeks, the population triples again.

We have, (240 × 3) = 720

Common ratio (r)=720/240

=3

r=3

The ants population is increasing in a geometric progression

A geometric progression is given by

g(n)=a × r^(n-1)

Substitute values of a and r to get the explicit formula

g(n)=a × r^(n-1)

g(n)=80×3^(n-1)

yarga [219]
Let T = the distance, in miles, a tire lasts

T ~ N(70000,4400<span>²</span>)

P(T \geq 75000) 
 = P(Z \geq \frac{75000 - 70000}{4400})
 = P(Z \geq \frac{25}{22})
 ≈ P(Z \geq 1.14)
 = 1 - P(Z < 1.14)
 ≈ 1 - 0.8729
 = 0.1271

simplify the expression by combining like terms from highest to lowest power of the variable -5a^2 -12a-6a-4-a^2-16-18a^2+5a
Nastasia [14]
So to start off, first combine like terms, so all the a^2 with the a^2’s, the a’s with the a’s, and the normal numbers.

Add the -5a^2, the -a^2, and the -18a^2 together.

-24a^2-12a-6a-4-16+5a

Now add the -12a, the -6a, and the 5a together.

-24a^2-13a-4-16

Lastly add the -4 and -16 together.

-24a^2-13a-20

^^That is your answer^^

Hope this helps!
