Answer:

The explicit formula is Tn = 18[(2/3)^(n-1)]

Where n is the term we are looking for

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get an explicit formula to model the equation

Now, F(2) = 2/3 * f1 = 2/3 * 18 = 12

F(3) = 2/3 * f(2) = 2/3 * 12 = 8

F(4) = 2/3 * F(3) = 2/3 * 8 = 16/3

F(5) = 2/3 * 16/3 = 32/9

Thus, seeing how the equations are progressing, we can definitely see a pattern.

That is Tn = (2/3)^(n-1)(18)

The volume V of an ice cream cone is given by V = 2 3 πR3 + 1 3 πR2h where R is the common radius of the spherical cap and the c
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The change in volume is estimated to be 17.20 \rm{in^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The linearization or linear approximation of a function f(x) is given by:

f(x_0+dx) \approx f(x_0) + df(x)|_{x_0} where df is the total differential of the function evaluated in the given point.

For the given function, the linearization is:

V(R_0+dR, h_0+dh) = V(R_0, h_0) + \frac{\partial V(R_0, h_0)}{\partial R}dR + \frac{\partial V(R_0, h_0)}{\partial h}dh

Taking R_0=1.5 inches and h=3 inches and evaluating the partial derivatives we obtain:

V(R_0+dR, h_0+dh) = V(R_0, h_0) + \frac{\partial V(R_0, h_0)}{\partial R}dR + \frac{\partial V(R_0, h_0)}{\partial h}dh\\V(R, h) = V(R_0, h_0) + (\frac{2 h \pi r}{3}  + 2 \pi r^2)dR + (\frac{\pi r^2}{3} )dh

substituting the values and taking dx=0.1 and dh=0.3 inches we have:

V(R_0+dR, h_0+dh) =V(R_0, h_0) + (\frac{2 h \pi r}{3}  + 2 \pi r^2)dR + (\frac{\pi r^2}{3} )dh\\V(1.5+0.1, 3+0.3) =V(1.5, 3) + (\frac{2 \cdot 3 \pi \cdot 1.5}{3}  + 2 \pi 1.5^2)\cdot 0.1 + (\frac{\pi 1.5^2}{3} )\cdot 0.3\\V(1.5+0.1, 3+0.3) = 17.2002\\\boxed{V(1.5+0.1, 3+0.3) \approx 17.20}

Therefore the change in volume is estimated to be 17.20 \rm{in^3}

Below is a probability distribution for the number of failures in an elementary statistics course. X 0 1 2 3 4 P(X=x) 0.41 0.18
faust18 [17]

Answer:

a) P(X=2)= 0.29

b) P(X<2)= 0.59

c) P(X≤2)= 0.88

d) P(X>2)= 0.12

e) P(X=1 or X=4)= 0.24

f) P(1≤X≤4)= 0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P(X=2)= 1 - P(X=0) - P(X=1) - P(X=3) - P(X=4)= 1-0.41-0.18-0.06-0.06= 0.29

b) P(X<2)= P(X=0) + P(X=1)= 0.41 + 0.18 = 0.59

c) P(X≤2)= P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)=0.41+0.18+0.29= 0.88

d) P(X>2)=P(X=3) + P(X=4)=0.06+0.06= 0.12

e) P(X=1 or X=4)=P(X=1 ∪ X=4) = P(X=1) + P(X=4)=0.18+0.06= 0.24

f) P(1≤X≤4)=P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4)=0.18+0.29+0.06+0.06= 0.59
