Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequences have an r difference, where r is the ratio/multiplying number. Choice C is correct because the numbers are multiplied by 2 each time, so r is 2.

Ronald Dairo is helping the local indus-

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Mr. Dairo can produce 20580 pieces of Papaya rosette in two weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Papaya rosette pieces on first day = 5890

Papaya rosette Pieces on second day = 7020

Papaya rosette Pieces of third day = 8150

Let

$a_1 = 5890\\a_2 = 7020\\a_3 = 8150$

We can check if these numbers are part of a sequence.

In order to check, common difference will be found first.

$d = a_2-a_1 = 7020-5890 = 1130\\d =a_3-a_2 = 8150-7020 = 1130$

It can be observed that the common difference is same. When the common difference is same, the sequence is said to be an arithmetic sequence.

The formula for arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1+(n-1)d$

Putting the values

$a_n = 5890+(n-1)(1130)\\a_n = 5890+1130n-1130\\a_n =4760+1130n$

The formula for nth term can be used to find any term. As we have to find the number of papaya rosette pieces after two weeks which means that we need to find the number of pieces on 14th day.

So,

$a_{14}= 4760+1130(14)\\a_{14} = 4760+15820\\a_{14} = 20580$

Hence,

Mr. Dairo can produce 20580 pieces of Papaya rosette in two weeks.

The commercial for the new Meat Man Barbecue claims that it takes 10 minutes for assembly. A consumer advocate thinks that the c

Andrews [41]

Answer:

There is enough evidence to make the conclusion that the population mean amount of time to assemble the Meat Man barbecue is not equal to 10 minutes (P-value=0.009).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to perform an hypothesis test on the mean.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu=10\\\\H_1: \mu \neq 10$

The significance level is $\alpha=0.05$ .

The test statistic t can be calculated as:

$t=\frac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{N} } =\frac{11.2-10}{3.1/\sqrt{50} }=2.737$

The degrees of freedom are:

$df=N-1=50-1=49$

The P-value (two-tailed test) for t=2.737 and df=49 is P=0.00862.

This P-value (0.009) is smaller than the significance level, so the effect is significant. The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to make the conclusion that the population mean amount of time to assemble the Meat Man barbecue is not equal to 10 minutes.

Task: Nonpermissible Values for Rational Expressions [30 points] Write a rational expression that has the nonpermissible values

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

A rational expression that has the nonpermissible values $x = 0$ and $x = 17$ is $f(x) = \frac{4}{x\cdot (x-17)}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational expression has a nonpermissible value when for a given value of $x$ , the denominator is equal to zero. In addition, we assume that both numerator and denominator are represented by polynomials, such that:
