I agree! The answer would be C the others don't make sense when worked out

Its a square.
So 5n = n + 16
Therefore 4n = 16 (taking one n from each side).
So n = 16/4 which is simplied as : 4.
Double check by putting 4 in the equation where n is, and it makes sense, so that is the right answer.
Your answer is c.

xeze [42]

Answer:

C.\ Perimeter = 48 * 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for her sketch

Required

Which equation do not represent the perimeter

From the attached sketch:

L =18in --- Length

W =48in --- Width

Perimeter (P) is calculated as:

P = 2 * (L + W)

This gives:

P = 2 * (18 + 48) ---- This represents (A)

Open bracket

P = 2 * 18 + 2*48 ---- This represents (B)

In algebra:

2 * a means a+ a

So, the expression becomes

P = 18 + 18 +48 + 48 --- This represents (D)

<em>This implies that (C) does not represent the perimeter</em>

Alice's book has 200 Pages. Alice has read 75% of the pages in her book. Nina has read the same number of pages the only 50% of
charle [14.2K]
Alice has read 150 pages, you would multiple 200 by .75 (75%). If Nina had read 50% of her book and she read 150, you multiple by 2, and get 300. So Nina has 300 pages in her book.

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y, =, 1 over 3 x, 4. And contains the point negative 2, negative 5,?.
Anit [1.1K]

The equation of the line is, \rm y = 3x + 1.

Given that,

The equation of the line is,

\rm y = \dfrac{1}{3} x+4\\

And contains the point (-2, -5).

We have to determine,

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line?

According to the question,

The equation of the line is,

\rm = \dfrac{1}{3}x + 4\\

On comparing with the standard equation of the line y = mx +c.

The slope of the line m_1 is 1/3.

When two lines are perpendicular the relation between these slopes is,

\rm m_1\times m_1 = {-1}\\\\\dfrac{-1}{3} \times m_2 = -1\\\\-1 \times m_2 = -1 \times 3\\\\-m_2 = -3\\\\m_2 = 3

And line contains the point (-2, -5).

Then,

\rm y = mx +c \\\\-5 = 3 (-2) + c\\\\-5 = -6+c \\\\c = 6-5 \\\\c = 1

Therefore,

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and contains the point (-2, -5) is,

\rm y = mx +c \\\\y = 3x +1

Hence, The required equation of the line is, \rm y = 3x + 1.

In a survey, the planning value for the population proportion is . How large a sample should be taken to provide a confidence in
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

n=350

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

n random sample taken  (variable of interest)

\hat p=0.35 estimated proportion  (value assumed)

p true population proportion

Confidence =0.95 or 95% (value assumed)

Me=0.05 (value assumed)

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.05 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=349.586  

And rounded up we have that n=350

Prove the following by induction. In each case, n is apositive integer.<br> 2^n ≤ 2^n+1 - 2^n-1 -1.
frutty [35]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are asked to prove by the method of mathematical induction that:

2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1

where n is a positive integer.

  • Let us take n=1

then we have:

2^1\leq 2^{1+1}-2^{1-1}-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2^2-2^{0}-1\\\\i.e.\\2\leq 4-1-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 4-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2

Hence, the result is true for n=1.

  • Let us assume that the result is true for n=k

i.e.

2^k\leq 2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1

  • Now, we have to prove the result for n=k+1

i.e.

<u>To prove:</u>  2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1

Let us take n=k+1

Hence, we have:

2^{k+1}=2^k\cdot 2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2\cdot (2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1)

( Since, the result was true for n=k )

Hence, we have:

2^{k+1}\leq 2^{k+1}\cdot 2-2^{k-1}\cdot 2-2\cdot 1\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{k-1+1}-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-2

Also, we know that:

-2

(

Since, for n=k+1 being a positive integer we have:

2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}>0  )

Hence, we have finally,

2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1

Hence, the result holds true for n=k+1

Hence, we may infer that the result is true for all n belonging to positive integer.

i.e.

2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1  where n is a positive integer.
