The answer is 12. If you don’t understand then keep on multiplying 4 until you get a number that 6 will also go into

Which polynomial is a product of (3x+2) and (x-7)

pogonyaev

(3x+2) (x-7)

FOIL

first 3x*x = 3x^2

outer 3x*-7 = -21x

inner = 2*x = 2x

last 2*-7 = -14

add them together = 3x^2 -21x+2x -14

combine like terms 3x^2 -19x -14

A sequence is constructed according to the following rule: its first term is 7, and each next term is one more than the sum of t

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described rule, we have

$a_1=7\\ \\a_1^2=7^2=49\Rightarrow a_2=4+9+1=14\\ \\a_2^2=14^2=196\Rightarrow a_3=1+9+6+1=17\\ \\a_3^2=17^2=289\Rightarrow a_4=2+8+9+1=20\\ \\a_4^2=20^2=400\Rightarrow a_5=4+0+0+1=5\\ \\a_5^2=5^2=25\Rightarrow a_6=2+5+1=8\\ \\a_6^2=8^2=64\Rightarrow a_7=6+4+1=11\\ \\a_7^2=11^2=121\Rightarrow a_8=1+2+1+1=5\\ \\\text{and so on...}$

We can see the pattern

$a_5=a_8=a_{11}=a_{14}=...=5\\ \\a_6=a_9=a_{12}=a_{15}=...=8\\ \\a_7=a_{10}=a_{13}=a_{16}=...=11$

In other words, for all $k\ge 2$

$a_{3k-1}=5\\ \\a_{3k}=8\\ \\a_{3k+1}=11$

Now,

$a_{2018}=a_{3\cdot 673-1}=5$

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

a > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide by the coefficient of the variable. Since it is negative, the direction of the comparison must be reversed.

(-4a)/(-4) > (-32)/(-4)

a > 8

Suppose a particular type of cancer has a 0.9% incidence rate. Let D be the event that a person has this type of cancer, therefo

natita [175]

Answer:

There is a 12.13% probability that the person actually does have cancer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities.

A 0.9% probability of a person having cancer

A 99.1% probability of a person not having cancer.

If a person has cancer, she has a 91% probability of being diagnosticated.

If a person does not have cancer, she has a 6% probability of being diagnosticated.

The question can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem we have the following question

What is the probability that the person has cancer, given that she was diagnosticated?

P(B) is the probability of the person having cancer, so $P(B) = 0.009$

P(A/B) is the probability that the person being diagnosticated, given that she has cancer. So $P(A/B) = 0.91$

P(A) is the probability of the person being diagnosticated. If she has cancer, there is a 91% probability that she was diagnosticard. There is also a 6% probability of a person without cancer being diagnosticated. So

$P(A) = 0.009*0.91 + 0.06*0.991 = 0.06765$

What is the probability that the person actually does have cancer?

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.91*0.009}{0.0675} = 0.1213$

There is a 12.13% probability that the person actually does have cancer.
