Answer:

a. The first six terms are:

-7, -4, -1, 2, 5, 8

b. The first six terms are:

0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2.

c. The first six terms are:

4, 8, 24, 96, 480, 2880

Step-by-step explanation:

a. an - 3n - 10

For n = 1

a1 = 3(1) - 10

= -7

For n = 2

a2 = 3(2) - 10

= -4

For n = 3

a3 = 3(3) - 10

= -1

For n = 4

a4 = 3(4) - 10

= 2

For n = 5

a5 = 3(5) - 10

= 5

For n = 6

a6 = 3(6) - 10

= 8

The first six terms are:

-7, -4, -1, 2, 5, 8

b. an= (1+(-1)^n)^n

For n = 1

a1 = (1+(-1)^1)^1

= 0

For n = 2

a2 = (1+(-1)^2)^1

= 2

For n = 3

a3 = (1+(-1)^3)^1

= 0

For n = 4

a4 = (1+(-1)^4)^1

= 2

For n = 5

a5 = (1+(-1)^5)^1

= 0

For n = 6

a6 = (1+(-1)^6)^1

= 2

The first six terms are:

0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2.

c. an= 2n! (2)

For n = 1

a1 = 2(1!)(2)

= 4

For n = 2

a2 = 2(2!)(2)

= 8

For n = 3

a3 = 2(3!)(2)

= 24

For n = 4

a4 = 2(4!)(2)

= 96

For n = 5

a5 = 2(5!)(2)

= 480

For n = 6

a6 = 2(6!)(2)

= 2880

The first six terms are:

4, 8, 24, 96, 480, 2880

Karen spent 7/10 hour reading and 3/5 hours writing in her journal how much longer did karen spend reading than writing in her j
STatiana [176]

Answer: 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Karen spent 7/10 hour reading and 3/5 hours writing in her journal.

To calculate how much longer karen spent reading than writing in her journal, we have to subtract 3/5 from 7/10. This will be:

= 7/10 - 3/5

Note that the lowest common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10.

= 7/10 - 6/10

= 1/10

Therefore, the answer is 1/10

Among 500 freshmen pursuing a business degree at a university, 311 are enrolled in an economics course, 243 are enrolled in a ma
Allushta [10]

Solution :

Let A = Economics, B = Mathematics

n(A) = 311, n(B) = 243, $n(A \cap B) = 135$

a). So, $n(A \cup B) = n(A) +n(B) - n(A \cap B)$

                     = 311 + 243 - 135

                     = 419

b). n(A only) = 311 - 135

                   = 176

     n(B only) = 243 - 135

                   = 108

Exactly one of these two courses

  $=\frac{176+108}{500}$

  = 0.568

c). Neither economics nor mathematics

    $=\frac{500-419}{500} $

  $=\frac{81}{500}$

 = 0.162
