What is the point slope equation of the line that has a slope of -5 and goes through the points (-4,9)

1 answer:

6 0

The equation for the point-slope form is y - y1= m(x-x1), where m is the slope. Using the coordinates and slope given, y - 9 = -5(x-(-4)), which simplifies to
y - 9 = -5(x + 4)

Mohamed and Li Jing were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence -5, -25, -125, -625,....

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Li Jing's formula i.e. $\boxed{g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}}$ is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sequence

$-5,\:-25,\:-125,\:-625,...$

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

$g_n=g_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{g_{n+1}}{g_n}$

$\frac{-25}{-5}=5,\:\quad \frac{-125}{-25}=5,\:\quad \frac{-625}{-125}=5$

$\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}$

$r=5$

So, the sequence is geometric.

$\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}$

$g_1=-5$

$r=5$

$g_n=g_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:$

$g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}$

Therefore, Li Jing's formula i.e. $\boxed{g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}}$ is right.

Natalka [10]

Using the t-distribution to build the 99% confidence interval, it is found that:

The margin of error is of 3.64.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (19.36, 26.64).

<h3>What is a t-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

$\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

t is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

s is the standard deviation for the sample.

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 21 - 1 = 20 df, is t = 2.086.

The other parameters are given as follows:

$\overline{x} = 23, s = 8, n = 21$

The margin of error is given by:

$M = t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.086\frac{8}{\sqrt{21}} = 3.64$

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

$\overline{x} - M = 23 - 3.64 = 19.36$

$\overline{x} + M = 23 + 3.64 = 26.64$

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (19.36, 26.64).

katovenus [111]

Okay so $14,000 is the equivalent of 6/5ths
so divide $14,000 by 6= $2333.3r

you need 5/5
so $2333.3r x 5 = $11666.67
this is the original price
