Mathematics

nignag [31]3 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>x² - x - 20 = 0</em>

<em>x²</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>5</em><em>-</em><em>4</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>x²</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4x </em><em>-</em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>x </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>(</em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>x+</em><em> </em><em>4)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>Either</em><em>. </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>5</em>

<em>Or, </em>

<em>x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>4</em>

Find the next term is in the explicit and recursive rule for the in term of the sequence. NO LINKS!!!
BARSIC [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5) 729, an=3^n, a[1]=3; a[n]=3·a[n-1]

  6) 1792, an=7(4^(n-1)), a[1]=7; a[n]=4·a[n-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The next term of a geometric sequence is the last term multiplied by the common ratio. (This is the basis of the recursive formula.)

The Explicit Rule is ...

  a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

for first term a₁ and common ratio r.

The Recursive Rule is ...

  a[1] = a₁

  a[n] = r·a[n-1]

__

5. First term is a₁ = 3; common ratio is r = 9/3 = 3.

Next term: 243×3 = 729

Explicit rule: an = 3·3^(n-1) = 3^n

Recursive rule: a[1] = 3; a[n] = 3·a[n-1]

__

6. First term is a₁ = 7; common ratio is r = 28/7 = 4.

Next term: 448×4 = 1792

Explicit rule: an = 7·4^(n-1)

Recursive rule: a[1] = 7; a[n] = 4·a[n-1]

Consider three events A, B and C with following properties.
lisov135 [29]
By the inclusion/exclusion principle,

\mathbb P(D)=\mathbb P(A\cup B\cup C)
\mathbb P(D)=\mathbb P(A)+\mathbb P(B)+\mathbb P(C)-\bigg(\mathbb P(A\cap B)+\mathbb P(A\cap C)+\mathbb P(B\cap C)\bigg)+\mathbb P(A\cap B\cap C)
\mathbb P(D)=\dfrac14+\dfrac16+\dfrac14-\dfrac39+\dfrac1{13}
\mathbb P(D)=\dfrac{16}{39}\neq1

So the union of A, B, and C does not constitute the entire sample space.

√(x+3) = 5

x + 3 = 5²

x = 25 –3

x = 22
