you have to multiply by -3

so the answers are going to be one negative one positive

and the next 5th terms are 108,-324,972,-2916,8748

12 / -4 = -3, also -36 / 12 = -3.

So the sequence goes:

-4, -4(-3), -4(-3)(-3), ... or -4, -4(-3), -4(-3)^2...

So the recursive formula to find any term would be -4(-3)^n, where n = 0 for the first term.

So for the 5th term, n = 4 and so:
-4(-3)^4 = -324.

You can check as it would be -36 * -3 * -3 = -36*9 = -324.

Bags of pretzels are sampled to ensure proper weight. The overall average for the samples is 9 ounces. Each sample contains 25 b
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The value is UCL  =  10.8  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample mean is  \= x  =  9 \  ounce

    The sample size is  n =  25

    The standard deviation is  \sigma =  3 \ ounce

Given that the sample size is not large enough i.e  n<  30  we will make use of the student t distribution table  

From the question we are told the confidence level is  99.7% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 -99.7 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.003

Generally the degree of freedom is  df =  n- 1

=>  df =  25 - 1

=>  df =  24  

Generally from the student t distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} at a degree of freedom of df =  24   is  

   t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} , 24 } = 3.0

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} , 24} *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>     E = 3.0 *  \frac{3 }{\sqrt{25} }

=>     E =1.8

Gnerally the  upper control chart limit  for 99.7% confidence is mathematically represented as

         UCL  =  \= x  + E

=>      UCL  =  9 + 1.8  

=>      UCL  =  10.8

Consider the differential equation y'' − y' − 30y = 0. Verify that the functions e−5x and e6x form a fundamental set of solution
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to take the derivatives for both functions and replace in the differential equation. Hence

for y=e^{-5x}:

y(x)=e^{-5x}\\y'(x)=-5e^{-5x}\\y''(x)=25e^{-5x}\\

for y=e^{6x}:

y(x)=e^{6x}\\y'(x)=6e^{6x}\\y''(x)=36e^{6x}\\

Now we replace in the differential equation  y'' − y' − 30y = 0

for y=e^{-5x}:

25e^{-5x}+5e^{-5x}-30e^{-5x}=0\\25+5-30=0

for y=e^{6x}:

36e^{6x}-6e^{6x}-30=0\\36-6+30=0

Now, to know if both function are linearly independent we calculate the Wronskian

W(f,g)=fg'-f'g

W(e^{-5x},e^{6x})=(e^{-5x})(6e^{6x})-(-5e^{-5x})(e^{6x})\neq 0

I hope this is useful for you
