Answer: p = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

24 - 1/8p = 3/8p Add 1/8p to both sides

+ 1/8p 1/8p

24 = 4/8p Divide both sides by 4/8

p = 48

Pow Research center is a nonpartisan polling organization that provides information about issues, attitudes, and trends shaping

Brilliant_brown [7]

Remember that the difference between census and a sample survey is that in a census you take all the people of population in consideration in the study, and in the sample survey you take a part of that population in consideration to survey.

SO here if you check the problem it says that "in a recent poll, Pew reserchers found that 47% OF AMERICAN ADULT RESPONDENTS"

that is the population of the study that you want to focus, but there are a billion of american adult in US right? so its impossible that this company Pow Research made a census if you consider that a billion of people in US is almost infinite number for a company with a finite number of employees.

Also remember that a company has a budget to consider every month or every year, so to make a census or a sample survey it takes time and money, just to survey 10 people in a streeth of US cost money so if you want to reduce cost you might need to do a sample survey instead of a census.

Question 2 of 5

AlekseyPX

Given:

The different recursive formulae.

To find:

The explicit formulae for the given recursive formulae.

Solution:

The recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is $f(n)=f(n-1)+d, f(1)=a,n\geq 2$ and the explicit formula is $f(n)=a+(n-1)d$ , where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is $f(n)=rf(n-1), f(1)=a,n\geq 2$ and the explicit formula is $f(n)=ar^{n-1}$ , where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The first recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=f(n-1)+5$ for $n\geq 2$ .

It is the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence with first term 5 and common difference 5. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

$f(n)=5+(n-1)(5)$

$f(n)=5+5(n-1)$

Therefore, the correct option is A, i.e., $f(n)=5+5(n-1)$ .

The second recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=3f(n-1)$ for $n\geq 2$ .

It is the recursive formula of a geometric sequence with first term 5 and common ratio 3. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

$f(n)=5(3)^{n-1}$

Therefore, the correct option is F, i.e., $f(n)=5(3)^{n-1}$ .

The third recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=f(n-1)+3$ for $n\geq 2$ .

It is the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence with first term 5 and common difference 3. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

$f(n)=5+(n-1)(3)$

$f(n)=5+3(n-1)$

Therefore, the correct option is D, i.e., $f(n)=5+3(n-1)$ .

What multiplies to 16 and adds to negative 12

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm

we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16

x= $\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{12^{2}-4(1)(16) }}{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{144-64 }}{2}$
x= $\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{80}}{2}$
x= $\frac{-12+/- 4\sqrt{5}}{2}$
x= $\frac{-6+/- 2\sqrt{5}$
x= $\frac{-6+ 2\sqrt{5}$ or $\frac{-6- 2\sqrt{5}$

aprox
x=-1.52786 or -10.4721

those are the numbers

the numbes are -1.52786 or -10.4721

Under her cell phone plan, Sydney pays a flat cost of $35.50 per month and

Keith_Richards [23]

The number of gigabytes that Sydney can use while staying within her budget is less than 2.9 gigabytes.

<h3>What are gigabytes?</h3>

gigabytes (GB) – pronounced with two hard Gs – is a unit of storage capacity equal to approximately 1 billion bytes. In decimal form (base 10), a gigabyte is exactly one billion bytes. In binary form, a gigabyte is 230 bytes or 1,073,71,82 bytes. Giga comes from the Greek word for giant. Werner Buchholz is credited with coining the term byte in 1956 and helped design IBM's 7030 Stretch, the first transistorized supercomputer.

gigabytes has been a common unit of measurement for data storage products since the mid-1980s. In recent years, terabytes (TB) have become a more common measure of storage capacity, especially for hard drives and solid-state drives.
