Blizzard [7]3 years ago

Answer: 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the nth term of a sequence is given as :

t_{n} = a + ( n - d )

Where a is the first term

d is the common difference and

n is the number of terms

This means that the 4th term of an arithmetic sequence will have the formula :

t_{4} = a + 3d

And the 4th term has been given to be , 12 ,substituting into the formula we have

12 = a + 3d .............................. equation 1

Also substituting for the 8th term , we have

36 = a + 7d .............................. equation 2

Combining the two equations , we have

a + 3d = 12  ................... equation 1

a + 7d = 36 ------------ equation 2

Solving the system of linear equation by substitution method , make a the subject of formula from equation 1 , that is

a = 12 - 3d ................... equation 3

substitute a = 12 - 3d into equation  2 , equation 2 then becomes

12 - 3d + 7d = 36

12 + 4d = 36

subtract 12 from both sides

4d = 36 - 12

4d = 24

divide through by 4

d = 6

substitute d = 6 into equation 3 to find the value of a, we have

a = 12 - 3d

a = 12 - 3 ( 6)

a = 12 - 18

a = -6

Therefore , the 17th term of the sequence will be :

t_{17} = a + 16d

t_{17} = -6 + 16 (6)

t_{17} = -6 + 96

t_{17} = 90

Therefore : the 17th term of the sequence is 90

.For small training sets variance may contribute more to the overall error than bias. Sometimes this is handled by reducing the
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Bias is the difference between the average prediction of our model and the correct value which we are trying to predict and variance is the variability of model prediction for a given data p[oint or a value which tells us the spread of our data the variance perform very well on training data but has high error rates on test data on the other hand if our model has small training sets then it's going to have smaller variance & & high bias and its contribute more to the overall error than bias. If our model is too simple and has very few parameters then it may have high bias and low variable. As the model go this is conceptually trivial and is much simpler than what people commonly envision when they think of modelling but it helps us to clearly illustrate the difference bewteen bias & variance.

A pair of shoes cost $22.99 to make, the local store sells them for $36.99. What is the percent markup? (Round to the nearest hu
ASHA 777 [7]

C: 60.9% is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup is calculated by using the formula

Mark\ up=Selling\ price-make\ price

Given

Make Price = $22.99

Selling Price = $36.99

So the mark up will be:

Mark\ up=36.99-22.99\\=\$14

Percent mark up will be:

Mark\ up=\frac{Mark\ up}{Make\ price}*100\\=\frac{14}{22.99}*100\\=0.6089*100\\=60.89\%

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth percent

60.9%

Hence,

C: 60.9% is the right answer

Show that 5(3y-2)=15y-10 for at least 5 values of y
Vsevolod [243]
<span>Solving the equation for Y = 1. 5 * (3 * 1 - 2) = 15 * 1 - 10 5 * (3 - 2) = 15 -10 5 * 1 = 5 5 = 5 Solving the equation for Y = 2. 5 * (3 * 2 - 2) = 15 * 2 - 10 5 * (6 - 2) = 30 -10 5 * 4 = 20 20 = 20 Solving the equation for Y = 4. 5 * (3 * 4 - 2) = 15 * 4 - 10 5 * (12 - 2) = 60 -10 5 * 10 = 50 50 = 50 Solving the equation for Y = 8. 5 * (3 * 8 - 2) = 15 * 8 - 10 5 * (24 - 2) = 120 -10 5 * 22 = 110 110 = 110 Solving the equation for Y = 9. 5 * (3 * 9 - 2) = 15 * 9 - 10 5 * (27 - 2) = 135 -10 5 * 25 = 125 125 = 125 This proves that the equation holds good for at least 5 values of 'y', which are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9. However, it can be proved that the equation holds good for any value of y. Expression 5(3y-2) can be simplified to 15y -10 which is the same expression on the right had side of the equation provided. So, equation 5(3y-2)=15y-10 is actually 15y-10=15y-10 and since this is true for all values of y, it has been proved that it is true for at least 5 values of y.</span>
