40%= 0.40 if you think of the decimal being at the end of the number (40.%) than just move the decimal twice makes it 0.40
Answer:
Although the notation is sloppy, I will assume based on former questions of the same that "∑n=15[5(−2)^n−1]" translates mathematically to . Please correct me, though, if this in incorrect.
Anyway, there is neat formula that will deal with question very quickly. It is the following:
Sn is the sum of the geometric series
a1 is the first term in the series
r is the common ratio
n is the number of terms in the finite geometric series
Let's use this formula to our advantage! However, there are two variables that we do not know: a1 and n. Let's start with a1.The first term in the series is when n=1, so let's determine what that is.
The relationship between Sabir and calories he burns can be modeled using a linear function given by:
y=ax+b
where
a=slope
b=y-intercept
from the graph, the slope will be given as follows:
taking points (3,15) and (12,60)
a=(60-15)/(12-3)=5 calories/minute
thus using the slope and a point (3,15) the equation will be:
a(x1-x)=(y1-y)
plugging the values we obtain:
5(x-3)=y-15
5x-15=y-15
thus
y=5x
thus the equation is:
y=5x
The median is 6, and the mean is 8.5
