Since the sequence is arithmetic, we have an expression of the form:
 an = a1 + d (n-1)

 Where,
 a1: first term of the sequence
 d: common difference
 n: number of terms
 We look for the common difference:
 d = 22-15 = 15-8 = 7

d = 7
 Then, setting values we have:
 a26 = 8 + 7 * (26-1)

a26 = 183

 Then, the sum of the terms is:
 Sn = ((a1 + an) / (2)) * n

 Substituting values:
 Sn = ((8 + 183) / (2)) * 26

Sn = 2483
 Answer:
 
the sum of the arithmetic sequence 8, 15, 22 is:
 
Sn = 2483

Solve the following systems of equations by substitution method.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1) x = 3 and y = -2

2) x = 2 and y = 1

3) x = -2 and y = -1

4) x = 3 and y = 2

5) x = 2

6) x = 2 and y = -3

7) x = 4 and y = 3

8) x = -3 and y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Answer :

y = -2

4x - 3y = 18 ----(1)

Substitute y = -2 in (1).

4x - 3(-2) = 18

4x + 6 = 18

Subtract 6 from both sides.

4x = 12

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 3

So,

x = 3 and y = -2

2. Answer :

y = 6x - 11 ----(1)

2x + 3y = 7 ----(2)

Substitute y = 6x - 11 in (2).

2x + 3(6x - 11) = 7

2x + 18x - 33 = 7

20x - 33 = 7

Add 33 to both sides.

20x = 40

Divide both sides by 20.

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in (1).

y = 6(2) - 11

= 12 - 11

= 1

So,

x = 2 and y = 1

3. Answer :

x = -3y - 5 ----(1)

4x - 5y = -3 ----(2)

Substitute x = -3y + 5 in (2).

4(-3y - 5) - 5y = -3

-12y - 20 - 5y = -3

-17y - 20 = -3

Add 20 to both sides.

17y = -17

Divide both sides by 17.

y = -1

Substitute y = -1 in (1).

x = -3(-1) - 5

= 3 - 5

= -2

So,

x = -2 and y = -1

4. Answer :

x = 5y - 7 ----(1)

-2x - 3y = -12 ----(2)

Substitute x = 5y - 7 in (2).

-2(5y - 7) - 3y = -12

-10y + 14 - 3y = -12

-13y + 14 = -12

Subtract 14 from both sides.

-13y = -26

Divide both sides by -13.

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 in (1).

x = 5(2) - 7

= 10 - 7

= 3

So,

x = 3 and y = 2

5. Answer :

5x + 3y - 8 = 0 ----(1)

2x - 3y - 6 = 0 ----(2)

Solve for 3y in (1).

5x + 3y - 8 = 0

Subtract 5x from both sides.

3y - 8 = -5x

Add 8 to both sides.

3y = -5x + 8

Substitute 3y = -5x + 8 in (2).

2x - (-5x + 8) - 6 = 0

2x + 5x - 8 - 6 = 0

7x - 14 = 0

Add 14 to both sides.

7x = 14

Divide both sides by 7.

x = 2

6. Answer :

x - 3y - 11 = 0 ----(1)

5x + y - 7 = 0 ----(2)

Solve for x in (1).

x - 3y - 11 = 0

Subtract 3y and 11 to both sides.

x = 3y + 11 ----(3)

Substitute x = 3y + 11 in (2).

5(3y + 11) + y - 7 = 0

15y + 55 + y - 7 = 0

16y + 48 = 0

Subtract 48 from both sides.

16y = -48

Divide both sides by 16.

y = -3

Substitute y = -3 in (3).

x = 3(-3) + 11

= -9 + 11

= 2

So,

x = 2 and y = -3

7. Answer :

2x - 3y = -1 ----(1)

y = x - 1 ----(2)

Substitute y = x - 1 in (1).

2x - 3(x - 1) = -1

2x - 3x + 3 = -1

-x + 3 = -1

Subtract 3 from both sides.

-x = -4

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = 4

Substitute x = x in (3).

y = 4 - 1

= 3

So,

x = 4 and y = 3

8. Answer :

-4x + y = 6 ----(1)

-5x - y = 21 ----(2)

Solve for y in (1).

-4x + y = 6

Add 4x to both sides.

y = 4x + 6 ----(3)

Substitute y = 4x + 6 in (2).

-5x - (4x + 6) = 21

-5x - 4x - 6 = 21

-9x - 6 = 21

Add 6 to both sides.

-9x = 27

Divide both sides by -9.

x = -3

Substitute x = -3 in (3).

y = 4(-3) + 6

= -12 + 6

= -6

So,

x = -3 and y = -6

According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 20
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 1432

p = 23% = 0.23

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of theft complaints , x = 321

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.23\\H_A: p < 0.23

This is a one-tailed test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{321}{1432} =0.2241

z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.2241-0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{1432}}} = -0.5305

Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.

P-value = 0.298

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%.

Melissa walked at a rate of 88 feet per minute. What was her approximate speed to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

1.0 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

so there are 60 minutes in an hour

you need to find what her speed is per hour

right now it is per minute

so multiply her current speed by 60

88*60=5280

there are 5280 feet in a mile.

Her current speed is 1 mile per minute

rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile is

1.0 mph

A wheel with radius 1 foot makes 1 revolution in 4 seconds. What is the linear velocity, in feet per second, of a point on the e
3241004551 [841]

Radius = r = 1 foot

Angular velocity = w = 1 revolutions in 4 seconds

So,

w = 0.25 revolutions per second

Since,

1 revolution = 2π radians

We can write the above equation as:

w = 0.25 x 2π radians per second = 0.5π radians per second

Linear Velocity = v = r w

Using the values, we can write:

v = 1 x 0.5π  

= 0.5 π

= π/2 feet per second

Therefore, the correct answer is option B

If f(x)=sinx−1/cos2x, then limx→π2f(x) is equivalent to which of the following?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given g(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x), we are to find the limit if the function g(x) as g(x) tends to π/2

Substituting π/2 into the function

lim x-->π/2 sin(x)-1/cos 2(x)

= sin(π/2) - 1/cos(2)(π/2)

= 1 - 1/cosπ

= 1- 1/-1

= 1 -(-1)

= 1+1

= 2

Hence the limit of the function h(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x) as x--> π/2 is 2
