<h3>Answer: Choice B) -471,861</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

This is a geometric sequence because each new term is found by multiplying the last term by -4.

The common ratio is r = -4. The first term is a = -9. We want to sum up n = 9 terms.

Use the geometric nth partial sum formula below to plug in the terms mentioned

$S_n = \frac{a*(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\\\S_9 = \frac{-9*(1-(-4)^9)}{1-(-4)}\\\\S_9 = \frac{-9*(1-(-262144))}{1+4}\\\\S_9 = \frac{-9*(1+262144)}{1+4}\\\\S_9 = \frac{-9*(262145)}{5}\\\\S_9 = \frac{-2359305}{5}\\\\S_9 = -471,861\\\\$

If f (n)(0) = (n + 1)! for n = 0, 1, 2, , find the taylor series at a=0 for f.

Pie

Given that $f^{(n)}(0)=(n+1)!$ , we have for $f(x)$ the Taylor series expansion about 0 as

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(n+1)!}{n!}x^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)x^n$

Replace $n+1$ with $n$ , so that the series is equivalent to

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

and notice that

$\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n=\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

Recall that for $|x|$ , we have

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n=\frac1{1-x}$

which means

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}=\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\frac1{1-x}$
$\implies f(x)=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}$

After 8 points are added to each score in a sample, the mean is found to be M= 40. What was the value for the original mean

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The value for the original mean = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the original value of the mean.

Let the number of samples be n

Mathematically;

mean = Total value/n

Now, we added 8 to each of values; total value added = 8 * n = 8n

Now, for the new mean of 40; we have

(Total value + 8n)/n = 40

Total value + 8n = 40n

Total value = 40n -8n

Total value = 32n

kindly recall from the beginning of the solution;

mean = Total value/n

mean = 32n/n

mean = 32

So the original value of the mean is 32
