Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

To find the first 4 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 into the n th term formula.

a₁ = 1 + 5 = 6

a₂ = 2 + 5 = 7

a₃ = 3 + 5 = 8

a₄ = 4 + 5 = 9

For the 10 th term substitute n = 10, that is

a₁₀ = 10 + 5 = 15

The first 4 terms are 6, 7, 8, 9 and the 10 th term is 15

(b)

Substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 into the n th term formula

a₁ = 2(1) - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1

a₂ = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

a₃ = 2(3) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

a₄ = 2(4) - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

a₁₀ = 2(10) - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

The first 4 terms are 1, 3, 5, 7 and the 10 th term is 19

Dazuri saw the following advertisement at a sports store how much does each soccer ball cost

Nadusha1986 [10]

Based on the advertisement seen by Dazuri, the cost of each soccer ball is $22.50

The advertisement says that the original cost of the ball is $30 but there is a 25% discount.

The price of each soccer ball is therefore reduced by the 25% discount on the ball.

The amount that each soccer ball costs is therefore:
= 30 - ( 30 x 25%)

= 30 - 7.5

= $22.50

Rest of the question is:
Soccer balls on sale at a 25% discount. Prices go back to $30 in a week. Don't miss out.

The time between arrivals of customers at the drive-up window of a bank follows an exponential probability distribution with a m

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a) 50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

b) 24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Mean of 10 minutes:

This means that $m = 10, \mu = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1$

A. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less?

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

$P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034$

50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

B. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes?

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3)$

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

$P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034$

$P(X \leq 3) = 1 - e^{-0.1*3} = 0.2592$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3) = 0.5034 - 0.2592 = 0.2442$

24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

Round to the nearest hundredth?<br><br>A<br><br>4<br><br>?<br><br>35°<br><br>с<br><br>B

DaniilM [7]

The length of the unknown side length, |AB|, is 6.97

<h3>Trigonometry</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of the unknown side length

The unknown side length is the hypotenuse

Using SOH CAH TOA

We can write that

sin 35° = 4/|AB|

∴ |AB| = 4 /sin35°

|AB| = 4 /sin35°

|AB| = 6.97

Hence, the length of the unknown side length, |AB|, is 6.97

A rectangular skateboard park has an area of x^2+15x+56 what are the possible dimensions

alexira [117]

For this case we have the following expression:
x ^ 2 + 15x + 56
We can factor this expression to find the possible dimensions of the rectangle.
Factoring we have:
(x + 7) (x + 8)
Answer:
the possible dimensions are:
(x + 7) * (x + 8)
