Answer:

3/4294967296

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is

3/12 = 1/4

The explicit formula

an = a1 r^(n-1)

an = 12 (1/4)^ (n-1)

The 18th term is

a18 = 12 * (1/4)^17

     = 3/4294967296

Answer:

Nth term = 3 × (¼)^(n-2)

18th term: 3/4¹⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

12 ,3 , ¾..

Are terms of a Geometric progression with:

First term = 12

Common ratio = 3/12 = ¼

Nth term = 12 × (¼)^(n-1)

= (3×4) × (¼)^(n - 2)

= 3 × (¼)^(n-2)

18th term: n = 18

12 × (¼)^(18-1)

12 × (¼)¹⁷

3/4¹⁶ or 6.985 × 10^(-10)

The mass of the eggs laid by a certain breed of hen is a normally distributed random variable with mean 0.06kg and standard devi
Olin [163]

a (i) The number of standard size is 288 eggs

a (ii) The number of medium size is 1,476 eggs

a (iii) The number of large size is 36 eggs

b (i) The expected profit made from selling the standard size is Gh¢43.2

b (ii) The expected profit made from selling the medium size is Gh¢516.6

b (iii) The expected profit made from selling the large size is Gh¢16.2

The given parameters:

the mean of the distribution, m = 0.06 kg

standard deviation (std) of the distribution, d = 0.009 kg

number of the samples, n = 1800 eggs

(i) Find the position of "less than 0.052 kg (standard size)":

  • 1 standard deviation below the mean = m - d
  • m - d = 0.06 kg  -  0.009 kg = 0.051 kg

(<em>the </em><em>standard size</em><em> is 1 standard deviation below the mean</em>)

  • less than 1 standard deviation below the mean in a normal distribution is equal to 16% of the data samples
  • Number of standard size = 0.16 x 1800 = 288 eggs

(ii) Find the position of "Between 0.052 kg and 0.075kg (medium size)":

  • 0.052 kg is 1 standard deviation below the mean
  • 2 standard deviation above the mean = m + 2d
  • m + 2d = 0.06 + 2(0.009) = 0.078 kg

(<em>the </em><em>medium size</em><em> is between 1 std below the mean and 2 std above the mean</em>)

  • Between 1 std below the mean and 2 std above the mean in a normal distribution = (68 + 14)% = 82%
  • Number of medium size = 0.82 x 1800 = 1,476 eggs

(iii) Find the position of "Greater than 0.075 kg (large size)":

  • 0.078 kg is 2 standard deviation below the mean
  • greater than 2 std above the mean in a normal distribution = 2 % of the data samples
  • Number of large size = 0.02 x 1800 = 36 eggs

<u>Check:</u> <em>288 eggs + 1476 eggs + 36 eggs = 1,800 eggs</em>

(b) the cost of production of an egg = Gh¢0.45

the selling price of the standard size = Gh¢0.60

the selling price of the medium size = Gh¢0.80

the selling price of the large size = Gh¢0.95

(i) The expected profit made from selling the standard size:

Profit = total revenue - cost of production

Profit = 288(0.6) - 288(0.45) = Gh¢43.2

(ii) The expected profit made from selling the medium size:

Profit = total revenue - cost of production

Profit = 1476(0.8) - 1476(0.45) = Gh¢516.6

(iii) The expected profit made from selling the large size:

Profit = total revenue - cost of production

Profit = 36(0.9) - 36(0.45) = Gh¢16.2

The graph shows the functions f(x), p(x), and g(x):
Sidana [21]
The function f(x) is:

f(x)=x

This is because the line f(x) passes through the points (-1,-1), (0,0), (1,1) etc.

The function p(x) is:

p(x)=mx+C

Whereby (m) is the slope and (C) is a constant.

m=-4/3, as m=tan(ω)=O/A=-4/3 as slope is negative.

Now when y=-3, x=-3.

So:

-3=-4/3 *(-3) +C

-3= 4 + C

C=-7

This means that:

p(x)=-4/3x -7

Now, where p(x)=g(x), x=-6.

p(-6)=-4/3 * (-6) -7

p(-6)=24/3 -7

p(-6)=8-7

p(-6)=1

Therefore:

p(x) and g(x) meet at (-6, 1) and the solution to p(x)=g(x) is x=-6.
