Answer:

1/4, 3 3/4, 5 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for a[n-1], we get ...

a[n-1] = n^2 -a[n]

Then ...

a[4] = 5^2 -a[5] = 25 -14 1/4 = 10 3/4

a[3] = 4^2 -a[4] = 16 -10 3/4 = 5 1/4

a[2] = 3^2 -a[3] = 9 -5 1/4 = 3 3/4

a[1] = 2^2 -a[2] = 4 -3 3/4 = 1/4

Then the first three terms are a[1], a[2], and a[3]:

1/4, 3 3/4, 5 1/4

What are the zeros of the polynomial function

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

(b) 0,-5,4

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=x^3+x^2-20x\\x^3+x^2-20x=0\\x(x^2+x-20)=0\\x(x+5)(x-4)=0\\x=0, x+5=0, x-4=0\\x=0,x=-5,x=4$

assume that random guesses are made for 8 multiple choice questions on an SAT test, so that there are n=9 trials, each with prob

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

$P(x$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call x the number of correct questions obtained in the 9 attempts, then:

x is a discrete random variable that can be modeled by a binomial probability distribution p, with n = 9 trials.

So, the p of x successes has the following formula.

$P(x) =\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Where:

n = 9

p = 0.6

We are looking for P(x<4)

By definition:

$P(x$

Then:

$P(x\leq3)=\sum_{x=0}^{3} \frac{9!}{x!(9-x)!}*(0.6)^x(1-0.6)^{9-x}$

$P(x\leq3)=0.0994$
