Answer:

b. Sequences

Step-by-step explanation:

The following are progressions:

b. Sequences

We have two sequences - arithmetic progression and geometric progression.

A sequence is an arithmetic sequence if the two consecutive numbers have a common difference.

A sequence is a geometric sequence, if the ratio of two consecutive numbers is common.

The sum of the terms of a sequence is called a series. So, in a rather informal way, this can also be considered.

As part of the underwriting process for insurance, each prospective policyholder is tested for high blood pressure. Let X repres
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0.053

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric distribution problem.

I'm geometric distribution problem,

E(X) = 1/p

Where;

E(X) is expected value and p is probability of success

Thus;

1/p = 12.5

p = 1/12.5

p = 0.08

Now, to find the probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure, we will use the probability formula in geometric distribution which is;

P(X = k) = qⁿ•p

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.08

q = 0.92

Thus;probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure will be expressed as;

P(X > 5) = (0.92^(5)) × 0.08

P(X > 5) = 0.053

Consider the equations y = √x and y = x^2 - 1
lord [1]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

(x, y) ≈ (1.49021612010, 1.22074408461)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

This is best solved graphically or by some other machine method. The approximate solution (x=1.49, y=1.221) can be iterated by any of several approaches to refine the values to the ones given above. The values above were obtained using Newton's method iteration.

_____

Setting the y-values equal and squaring both sides of the equation gives ...

... √x = x² -1

... x = (x² -1)² = x⁴ -2x² +1 . . . . . square both sides

... x⁴ -2x² -x +1 = 0 . . . . . polynomial equation in standard form.

By Descarte's rule of signs, we know there are two positive real roots to this equation. From the graph, we know the other two roots are complex. The second positive real root is extraneous, corresponding to the negative branch of the square root function.

A train leaves at 08.43 and arrives at its destination at 09.23. If the train travelled 73 km, what was it's average speed in km
serg [7]

Answer: 109.5 km/ hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 73 km

Time = 40 minutes = 40/60 = 2/3 hours

Speed = Distance / time

= 73 / 2/3

= 73 x 3/2 = 219 / 2 = 109.5 km/hr

What is the solution to 3(–3x + 9) = −18?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

x = 5 (If solved algebraically)

No Solution (If the parentheses are absolute value lines)

Step-by-step explanation:

Result when solving this way: 3|-3x + 9| = -18

1) Divide both sides by 3
|-3x + 9| = -18/3

2) Simplify 18/3 to 6

|-3x + 9| = -6

3)  Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

-3x + 9 = -6

- (-3x + 9) = -6

4) Solve the 1st equation: -3x + 9 = -6

- Subtract 1 from both sides.

-3x = -6 - 9

-Simplify -6 - 9 to -15.

-3x = -15

-Divide both sides by -3.

x = -15/-3

- Two negatives make a positive.

x = 15/3

- Simplify 15/3 to 5.

x = 5

6)  Solve the 2nd equation:  - (-3x+ 9) = -6

1 - Remove parentheses

3x - 9 = -6

2 - Add 9 to both sides

3x = -6 + 9

3 - Simplify -6 + 9 to 3.

3x = 3

- Divide both sides by 3.

x = 1

6) Collect all solutions.

x = 1,5

7) Check solution.

When x = 1, the original equation 3|-3x + 9| = -18 does not hold true.

We will drop x = 1 from the solution set.

8) Check solution.

When x = 5, the original equation 3|-3x + 9| = -18  does not hold true.

We will drop x = 5 from the solution set.

9) Therefore,

No solution exists.

Result when solving algebraically:

Simplifying

3(-3x + 9) = -18

Reorder the terms:

3(9 + -3x) = -18

(9 * 3 + -3x * 3) = -18

(27 + -9x) = -18

Solving

27 + -9x = -18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-27' to each side of the equation.

27 + -27 + -9x = -18 + -27

Combine like terms: 27 + -27 = 0

0 + -9x = -18 + -27

-9x = -18 + -27

Combine like terms: -18 + -27 = -45

-9x = -45

Divide each side by '-9'.

x = 5

Simplifying

x = 5
