n = 8

the sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{a(1-r^{n )} }{1-r}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

here a = 16 and r = \frac{64}{-32} = \frac{-32}{16} = - 2

S_{n} = ( 16( 1 - ( - 2 )^n )/1 - (- 2 )) = - 1360

\frac{16}{3} ( 1 - (- 2 )^n ) = - 1360

multiply both sides by \frac{3}{16}

1 - (- 2 )^n = - 255

- (- 2 )^n = - 256

)-2)^n = 256

note that 2^{8} and (-2)^{8} = 256

hence n = 8

Which equation in slope-intercept form represents a line that passes through the point (6,−1) and is perpendicular to the line y
damaskus [11]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

If we have: y = 2x-7

m_ {1} = 2\\2 * m 2 = - 1\\m_ {2} = - \frac {1} {2}

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = - \frac {1} {2} x + b

We substitute the point:

-1 = - \frac {1} {2} (6) + b\\-1 = - \frac {1} {2} (6) + b\\-1 = -3 + b\\-1 + 3 = b\\b = 2

Finally, the equation is:

y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 2

Answer:

y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 2

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which:

  • \pi is the sample proportion.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.9, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95, so the critical value is z = 1.645.

The sample size and the estimate are given by:

n = 600, \pi = \frac{400}{600} = 0.6667

Hence, the bounds of the interval are given by:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6667 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6667(0.3333)}{600}} = 0.6350

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6667 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6667(0.3333)}{600}} = 0.6984

The 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).

FOR MATH ITS DUE TODAY
Irina-Kira [14]

Distributive Property is factors a common term by the items that are inside parenthesis.

3(2x + 5)

3 = Factor

3(2x + 5)

2x and 5 = terms

3(2x + 5)

2 = coefficient

The coefficient is the number before the variable.

Write (1/3i)-(-6+2/3i) as a complex number in standard form
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

6+\frac{i}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{3\imath}-(-6+\frac{2}{3\imath})

\frac{1}{3\imath}+6-\frac{2}{3\imath}

taking like terms together

\frac{1}{3\imath}-\frac{2}{3\imath}+6

taking LCM

\frac{1-2}{3\imath}+6

\frac{-1}{3\imath}+6

taking LCM

\frac{-1+18\imath}{3\imath}

splitting the term

\frac{-1+18\imath}{3\imath}

splitting the term

-\frac{1}{3\imath}+\frac{18\imath}{3\imath}

-\frac{1\times3\imath}{3\imath \times \imath}+6

-\frac{i}{3\imath^2}+6

we know that

\imath^2=-1

putting this value in above equation

\frac{\imath}{3}+6
