Answer:
- AP
- tₙ = (n-2)k² + (2n - 3)k + n
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given sequence:</u>
- -k² - k + 1, k + 2, k² + 3k + 3, 2k² + 5k + 4, ...
We can see apart from the second term all terms are 2nd degree trinomial so it is not a GP.
Let's find the difference: to determine if it is a AP:
- k + 2 - (-k² - k + 1) = k + 2 + k² + k -1 = k² + 2k + 1
- k² + 3k + 3 - (k + 2) = k² + 3k + 3 - k - 2 = k² + 2k + 1
- 2k² + 5k + 4 - (k² + 3k + 3) = 2k² + 5k + 4 - k² - 3k - 3 = k² + 2k + 1
As we see the difference is common and it confirms the sequence is AP.
<u>First term is </u>
<u>Common difference is </u>
<u>nth term is:</u>
- tₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d
- tₙ = -k² - k + 1 + (n-1)(k² + 2k + 1) =
- -k² - k + 1 + (n-1)k² + (n-1)*2k + n-1 =
- (n-2)k² + (2n - 3)k + n
Answer:
c. The occurrence of the site references in the paper are independent events.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each reference, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is still good two years later, or it has vanished. So we should try to use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
However, the binomial probability distribution can only be used if the events are independent from each other.
So the correct answer is:
c. The occurrence of the site references in the paper are independent events.
The graph of <span>f(x<span> - 1)</span></span><span> is a horizontal shift of </span><span>f(x<span>) = </span>x^2</span><span> one unit to the right.</span>
If you rotate the triangle so that the 6 is on the bottom, the two sides are both 6.2.
Because the two sides are equal the two angles at the bottom would also be equal. One is given as 61 degrees, so the other bottom angle is also 61 degrees.
The three inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180, so X would equal 180 minus the two bottom angles.
X = 180 - 61 - 61 = 58 degrees.
