Answer:

1. Next sequence = 20

2. Tn = 47 - 3n

3. Common number: 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sequence 1: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16

Sequence 2: 44, 41, 38, 35, 32

a. Write out the next sequence in (1)

The pattern followed by sequence 1 is that, each successive sequence is and addition of 4 to the previous sequence..

See observation below

4 = 0 + 4

8 = 4 + 4

12 = 8 + 4

16 = 12 + 4

Definitely, the next sequence will be 4 + the previous sequence.

Next sequence = 16 + 4

Next sequence = 20

2. The rule for continuing sequence 2

It'll be observed that sequence 2 follows an arithmetic progression.

To get the rule for continuing the sequence, the following data are needed.

I. The first term of the sequence.

This is often represented by letter a.

a = 44

II. The common difference.

This is the difference between two successive sequence

This is often represented by letter d.

d = 41 - 44 = -3

Or

d = 38 - 44 = -3

Using the arithmetic progression formula

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

By substituting 44 for a and -3 for d.

Tn = 44 + (n - 1)(-3)

Tn = 44 - 3n + 3

Tn = 44 + 3 - 3n

Tn = 47 - 3n

Hence, the rule for continuing the sequence is 47 - 3n where n is the current term of the sequence

III. Work out a number in common in both sequence

It'll be observed that the visible data of sequence 2 are bigger than that of sequence 1.

To get a common number, we have to extend sequence 1 until we arrive at a common number in both sequence

Sequence 1: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16

This becomes

Sequence 1: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32.....

32 is common in sequence (1) and (2).

If the sequence is extended, we'll arrive at another common number. But we have to stop, since we've arrived at a common number.

Given f(x) 2^x -7 find the x intercepts
brilliants [131]
Be sure to include the "=" sign:   <span>f(x) = 2^x -7 

To find the x-intercepts, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:  2^x - 7 = 0,
or
2^x = 7

Take the common log of both sides:  x log 2 = log 7
                              log 7
Solve for x:     x = --------- = 2.81 (approx)
                               log 2

A conductor needs 5 cellists and 5 violinists to play at a diplomatic event. to do this, he ranks the orchestra's 10 cellists an
DaniilM [7]
Ranking is very critical in this problem. Therefore, the most applicable mathematical theory is permutations.

Ranking possible for the cellists:
Needed cellists = 5
Total available cellists = 10
Possible number of rankings = 10P5 = 10!/(10-5)! = 30240

Ranking possible for the violinists:
Needed violinists = 5
Total available = 16
Possible number of rankings = 16P5 = 16!/(16-5)! = 524160

Therefore,
Ratio of rankings (cellists to violinists) = 30240/524160 = 3/52
