Answer:

f(1) = 8

Common ratio: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.

In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.

f(1) = 8

To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.

We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.

I choose to divide the second term by the first term:

4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

Answer:

0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, for two individual events;

P(AnB) = P(A) * P(B)

P(A n B) = 0.6 * 0.85 = 0.51

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

Lynna [10]

ANSWER

1.39

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic equation is

$0 = 2 {x}^{2} + 3x - 8$

This is the same as,

$2 {x}^{2} + 3x - 8 = 0$

Comparing to

$a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0$

We have

a=2, b=3,c=-8

Using the quadratic formula, the solution is given by:

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \: \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}$

We substitute the values to get,

$x = \frac{ - 3\pm \: \sqrt{ {3}^{2} - 4(2)( - 8)} }{2(2)}$

$x = \frac{ - 3\pm \: \sqrt{ 73} }{4}$

The positive root is

$x = \frac{ - 3 + \: \sqrt{ 73} }{4} = 1.39$

to the nearest hundredth.
