In the sequence, we are given with -2, 8, -32...This is a geometric type of sequence with a geometric ratio of 4. a1 is equal to -2 and r is equal to 4The expression is
a n = a1 * r ^ (n-1) where n is an integer ora n = a1 * (-4) ^ (n-1)we can check or verify this using the given

Five pounds is equal to 2.268 kilograms. How many kilograms is 2 pounds?
Tema [17]

Given:

5 pounds = 2.268 kilograms

To find:

The number of kilograms in 2 pounds.

Solution:

We have,

5 pounds = 2.268 kilograms

Divide both sides by 5.

1 pounds = \dfrac{2.268}{5} kilograms

1 pounds = 0.4536 kilograms

Multiply both sides by 2.

2 pounds = 2×0.4536 kilograms

2 pounds = 0.9072 kilograms

Therefore, the correct option is B.

In a certain region, about 6% of a city's population moves to the surrounding suburbs each year, and about 4% of the suburban po
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

City @ 2017 = 8,920,800

Suburbs @ 2017 = 1, 897, 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

- Let p_c be the population in the city ( in a given year ) and p_s is the population in the suburbs ( in a given year ) . The first sentence tell us that populations p_c' and p_s' for next year would be:

                                  0.94*p_c + 0.04*p_s = p_c'

                                  0.06*p_c + 0.96*p_s = p_s'

- Assuming 6% moved while remaining 94% remained settled at the time of migrations.

- The matrix representation is as follows:

                         \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}p_c\\p_s\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{c}p_c'\\p_s'\end{array}\right]          

- In the sequence for where x_k denotes population of kth year and x_k+1 denotes population of x_k+1 year. We have:

                         \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] x_k = x_k_+_1

- Let x_o be the populations defined given as 10,000,000 and 800,000 respectively for city and suburbs. We will have a population x_1 as a vector for year 2016 as follows:

                          \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] x_o = x_1

- To get the population in year 2017 we will multiply the migration matrix to the population vector x_1 in 2016 to obtain x_2.

                          x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] x_o

- Where,

                         x_o =  \left[\begin{array}{c}10,000,000\\800,000\end{array}\right]

- The population in 2017 x_2 would be:

                         x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}10,000,000\\800,000\end{array}\right] \\\\\\x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{c}8,920,800\\1,879,200\end{array}\right]
