What is positive four plus negative four over negative nine plus negative seven

seraphim [82]

$\frac{4 + (-4)}{(-9) + (-7)} = \frac{4-4}{-9 -7} = \frac{0}{-16} = 0$

When 0 is in the numerator, then the whole fraction becomes equal to 0.

However if 0 is in the denominator, then it is undefined.

If 2k, 5k-1 and 6k+2 are the first 3 terms of an arithmetic sequence, find k and the 8th term

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is

d = $a_{2}$ - $a_{1}$ = $a_{3}$ - $a_{2}$

Substitute in values and solve for k, that is

5k - 1 - 2k = 6k + 2 - (5k - 1)

3k - 1 = 6k + 2 - 5k + 1

3k - 1 = k + 3 ( subtract k from both sides )

2k - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )

2k = 4 ⇒ k = 2

--------------------------------------------------------

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = $a_{1}$ + (n - 1)d

$a_{1}$ = 2k = 2 × 2 = 4 and

d = 5k - 1 - 2k = 3k - 1 = (3 × 2) - 1 = 5

Hence

$a_{8}$ = 4 + (7 × 5) = 4 + 35 = 39

A population has the following characteristics. (a) A total of 75% of the population survives the first year. Of that 75%, 25% s

Artemon [7]

Answer:

$= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1344\\84\\28\end{array}\right] \left \begin{array}{ccc}{0 \ \leq age \leq 1 }\\{ 1 \ \leq age \leq 2 }\\{2 \ \leq age \leq 3}\end{array}\right$

i.e after the first year ;

there 1344 members in the first age class

84 members for the second age class; and

28 members for the third age class

Step-by-step explanation:

We can deduce that the age distribution vector x represents the number of population members for each age class; Given that in each class of age there are 112 members present.

The current age distribution vector is as follows:

$x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&2\\1&1&2\\1&1&2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}{0 \ \leq age \leq 1 }\\{ 0 \ \leq age \leq 2 }\\{0 \ \leq age \leq 3}\end{array}\right]$

Also , the age transition matrix is as follows:

$L = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&3\\0.75&0&0 \\0&0.25&0\end{array}\right]$

After 1 year ; the age distribution vector will be :

$x_2 =Lx_1 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&3\\0.75&0&0 \\0&0.25&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&2\\1&1&2\\1&1&2\end{array}\right]$

$= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1344\\84\\28\end{array}\right] \left \begin{array}{ccc}{0 \ \leq age \leq 1 }\\{ 1 \ \leq age \leq 2 }\\{2 \ \leq age \leq 3}\end{array}\right$
