Recursive formula is one way of solving an arithmetic sequence. It contains the initial term of a sequence and the implementing rule that serve as a pattern in finding the next terms. In the problem given, the 6th term is provided, therefore we can solve for the initial term in reverse. To make use of it, instead of multiplying 1.025, we should divide it after deducting 50 (which supposedly is added).
<span>
Therefore, we perform the given formula: A (n) = <span>1.025(an-1) + 50
</span></span>a(5) =1.025 (235.62) + 50 = 291.51

a(4) = 1.025 (181.09) + 50 = 235.62

a(3) = 1.025 (127.89) + 50 = 181.09

a(2) = 1.025 (75.99) + 50 = 127.89

a(1) = 1.025 (25.36) + 50 = 75.99

a(n) = 25.36

The terms before a(6) are indicated above, since a(6) is already given.

So, the correct answer is <span>A. $25.36, $75.99.</span>

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference in proportions. Assume that the samples are independent and that
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

CI 99%   =  ( - 0.0009 ;  0.0541 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample 1 New Yorkers

sample size    n₁   =  558

x₁  =  193

p₁ = x₁/n₁   =  193/ 558      p₁ =  0.3458  q₁ =  1  - p₁   q₁  =  1  -  0.3458

q₁  =  0.6542

Sample 2  Californians

sample size     n₂  =  614

x₂  =  196

p₂  =  x₂/n₂  =  196 / 614    p₂ = 0.3192   q₂  =  1  -  p₂   q₂ =  1 - 0.3192

q₂ =  0.6808

CI 99 %    means   significance level α  = 1 αα%    α = 0.01

α/2  =  0.005

In z-table we look for z score for  0.005    z (c) =  2.57

CI 99 %  =  [  (  p₁  -  p₂ ) ±  z(c) * √( p₁*q₁)/n₁  + ( p₂*q₂)/n₂

p₁ - p₂  =  ( 0.3458 - 0.3192 )  =  0.0266

√( p₁*q₁)/n₁  + ( p₂*q₂)/n₂   =√  0.3458*0.6542)/558 +  0.3192*0.6808)/614

√( p₁*q₁)/n₁  + ( p₂*q₂)/n₂   = √ 4.05*10⁻⁴   +  3.54 * 10⁻⁴

√( p₁*q₁)/n₁  + ( p₂*q₂)/n₂   =  10⁻² * √7.59    =  10⁻²  *  2.75

Then:

CI 99 %  =  0.0266  ±  2.75 * 10⁻²

CI 99%   =  0.0266   ±  0.0275

CI 99%   =  ( - 0.0009 ;  0.0541 )

L 5.2.3 Quiz: Two-Variable Systems: Substitution
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

We get x=3 and y=21

The ordered pair will be: (3,21)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.

y = 10x-9\\y = x + 18

For substitution method we substitute the value of x or y from one equation to other.

Let:

y = 10x-9--eq(1)\\y = x + 18--eq(2)

Putting value of y from equation 2 into equation 1

y=10x-9\\Put\:y=x+18\\x+18=10x-9\\x-10x=-9-18\\-9x=-27\\x=\frac{-27}{-9}\\x=3

So, we get value of x=3

Now, for finding value of y, We substitute the value of x

Find value of x from equation 2

y=x+18\\x=y-18

Now, putting value of x in equation 1

y=10x-9\\Put\:x=y-18\\y=10(y-18)-9\\y=10y-180-9\\y-10y=-189\\-9y=-189\\y=\frac{-189}{-9}\\y=21

So, we get value of y=21

So, We get x=3 and y=21

The ordered pair will be: (3,21)

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

- 2x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x - 2(3x - 9) ← distribute

= 4x - 6x + 18 ← collect like terms

= - 2x + 18 OR 18 - 2x
