<h2> Question No 1</h2>

Answer:

7.5 is the 4th term of the sequence $60, 30, 15, 7.5, ...$ .

In other words: $\boxed{a_4=7.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sequence

$60, 30, 15, 7.5, ...$

As we know that a sequence is said to be a list of numbers or objects in a special order.

$60, 30, 15, 7.5, ...$

is a sequence starting at 60 and decreasing by half each time. Here, 60 is the first term, 30 is the second term, 15 is the 3rd term and 7.5 is the fourth term.

In other words,

$a_1=60$ ,

$\:a_2=30$ ,

$a_3=15$ , and

$a_4=7.5$

Therefore, 7.5 is the 4th term of the sequence $60, 30, 15, 7.5, ...$ .

In other words: $\boxed{a_4=7.5}$

<h2> Question # 2</h2>

Answer:

The value of a subscript 5 is 16.

i.e. When n = 5, then h(5) = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine:

What is the value of a subscript 5?

Information fetching and Solution Steps:

Chart with two rows.

The first row is labeled n.

The second row is labeled h of n. i.e. h(n)

The first row contains the numbers three, four, five, and six.

The second row contains the numbers four, nine, sixteen, and twenty-five.

Making the data chart

n 3 4 5 6

h(n) 4 9 16 25

As we can reference a specific term in the sequence by using the subscript. From the table, it is clear that 'n' row represents the input and and 'h(n)' represents the output.

So, when n = 5, the value of subscript 5 corresponds with 16. In other words: When n = 5, then h(5) = 16

Therefore, the value of a subscript 5 is 16.

<h2> Question # 3</h2>

Answer:

We determine that the sequence 33, 31, 28, 24, 19, … is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sequence

33, 31, 28, 24, 19, …

Lets calculate the common difference 'd' to determine if the sequence is Arithmetic or not.

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:differences\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:d=a_{n+1}-a_n$

$d = 31 - 33 = -2$

$d = 28 - 31 = -3$

$d = 24 - 28 = -4$

$d = 19 - 24 = -5$

As the common difference 'd' is not constant. It means the sequence is not Arithmetic.

Lets now calculate the common ratio 'r' to determine if the sequence is Geometric or not.

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}$

$\frac{31}{33}=0.93939\dots ,\:\quad \frac{28}{31}=0.90322\dots ,\:\quad \frac{24}{28}=0.85714\dots ,\:\quad \frac{19}{24}=0.79166\dots$

The ratio is not constant. It means the sequence is not Geometric.

From the above analysis, we determine that the sequence 33, 31, 28, 24, 19, … is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

<h2> Question # 4</h2>

Answer:

We determine that the sequence -99, -96, -92, -87, -81... is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the description statement:

''negative 99 comma negative 96 comma negative 92 comma negative 87 comma negative 81 comma dot dot dot''.

The statement can be translated algebraically as

-99, -96, -92, -87, -81...

Lets calculate the common difference 'd' to determine if the sequence is Arithmetic or not.

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:differences\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:d=a_{n+1}-a_n$

$-96-\left(-99\right)=3,\:\quad \:-92-\left(-96\right)=4,\:\quad \:-87-\left(-92\right)=5,\:\quad \:-81-\left(-87\right)=6$

As the common difference 'd' is not constant. It means the sequence is not Arithmetic.

Lets now calculate the common ratio 'r' to determine if the sequence is Geometric or not.

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}$

$\frac{-96}{-99}=0.96969\dots ,\:\quad \frac{-92}{-96}=0.95833\dots ,\:\quad \frac{-87}{-92}=0.94565\dots ,\:\quad \frac{-81}{-87}=0.93103\dots$

The ratio is not constant. It means the sequence is not Geometric.

From the above analysis, we determine that the sequence -99, -96, -92, -87, -81... is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

<h2> Question # 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sequence

12, 22, 30, 36, 41, …

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:differences\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:d=a_{n+1}-a_n$

$22-12=10,\:\quad \:30-22=8,\:\quad \:36-30=6,\:\quad \:41-36=5$

As the common difference 'd' is not constant. It means the sequence is not Arithmetic.

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}$

$\frac{22}{12}=1.83333\dots ,\:\quad \frac{30}{22}=1.36363\dots ,\:\quad \frac{36}{30}=1.2,\:\quad \frac{41}{36}=1.13888\dots$

The ratio is not constant. It means the sequence is not Geometric.

From the above analysis, we determine that the sequence 12, 22, 30, 36, 41, … is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

Evaluate the integral using the indicated trigonometric substitution. (use c for the constant of integration.) x^3 / sqrt x^2 +

slava [35]

$\displaystyle\int\frac{x^3}{\sqrt{x^2+49}}\,\mathrm dx$

Taking $x=7\tan\theta$ gives $\mathrm dx=7\sec^2\theta\,\mathrm d\theta$ , so that the integral becomes

$\displaystyle\int\frac{(7\tan\theta)^3}{\sqrt{(7\tan\theta)^2+49}}(7\sec^2\theta)\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle7^4\int\frac{\tan^3\theta\sec^3\theta}{\sqrt{49\tan^2\theta+49}}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle7^3\int\frac{\tan^3\theta\sec^3\theta}{\sqrt{\tan^2\theta+1}}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle7^3\int\frac{\tan^3\theta\sec^3\theta}{\sqrt{\sec^2\theta}}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle7^3\int\frac{\tan^3\theta\sec^3\theta}{|\sec\theta|}\,\mathrm d\theta$

When $\sec\theta>0$ , we have

$=\displaystyle7^3\int\frac{\tan^3\theta\sec^3\theta}{\sec\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle7^3\int\tan^3\theta\sec^2\theta\,\mathrm d\theta$

and from here we can substitute $u=\tan\theta$ to proceed from here.

Quick note: When we set $x=7\tan\theta$ , we are implicitly enforcing $-\dfrac\pi2$ just so that the substitution can be undone later via $\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac x7$ . But note that over this domain, we automatically guarantee that $\sec\theta>0$ , so the absolute value bars can be dropped immediately.

The robber stole 280 dollars' worth of one-dollar bills. He also stole some 100-dollar bills, 50-dollar bills, and 20-dollar bil

salantis [7]

E, because he is stealing everything, meaning he has a net profit. So, you would add everything. Since he 280 $1 bills, he just stole $280 which is a definite quantity, so we don't need a variable for it. Since everything else are indefinite quantities, we need variables (x, y, z). But, yeah, E should be the answer.

The greatest common factor of the two expressions given as in the task content is; 3v².

<h3>What is the greatest common factor of the two expressions given?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the terms whose greatest common factor are to be determined are: 15v³ and 12 v².

15v³ and 12v²

= 3v²(5v) and 3v²(4)

= 3v²(5v) and (4)

Consequently, in a bid to factorise the two expressions by means of their greatest Common factor, the greatest common factor can be determined as; 3v².

The correct answer choice which therefore represents the greatest common factor as required in the task content is; 3v².
