Can someone help me please

Mathematics

morpeh [17]3 years ago

Answer:

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{n}  = a_{n-1} - 3

we have to find formula for nth term of series for this problem

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{2}  = a_{2-1} - 3 = a_{1}  -3 =  12 -3 = 9\\a_{3}  = a_{3-1} - 3 = a_{2}  -3 =  9 -3 = 6

Thus, we see series is 12, 9 ,6

Thus, we can see that series is decreasing by unit of 3.

and we know that when there is in increase or decrease in series by a a constant number then series is arithmetic progression series.

Hence, this is a decreasing AP series

In AP

nth term is given

nth term = a+(n-1)d

where a is the first term

d is the common difference

common difference is given by = nth term - (n-)th term

lets take 2nd and 1st term to get common difference.

d = 9-12 = -3

(note: this was obvious by looking at series itself that d is -3 as series was decreasing by 3 unit)

a = 12

thus, nth term = a +(n-1)d

nth term = 12 +(n-1)(-3)

nth term = 12 -3(n-1)

writing this in form of a_{n}

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)  Answer

Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area:

A = bh × 1/2

B = 8 units

H = 5 units

8 × 5 = 40

40 × 1/2 = 20

Which of the equations below could be the equation of this parabola?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Option B: y = -\frac{1}{2} x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola has its concavity downwards, so we need a function in the model:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

With a negative value of 'a'

The vertex is (0,0), so we have that:

0 = 0a + 0b + c

c = 0

The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by the equation:

x\_vertex = -b/2a

-b/2a = 0

b = 0

So we have a function in the model:

y = ax^2

With a < 0

The only option with this format is B:

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

The manufacturer of a refrigerator system for beer kegs produces refrigerators that are supposed to maintain a true mean tempera
Bond [772]

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean temperature is different from 42 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, we are being told that:

The manufacturer of a refrigerator system for beer kegs produces refrigerators that are supposed to maintain a true mean temperature, μ, of 42°F

i. e  mean  μ = 42

The owner of the brewery does not agree with the refrigerator manufacturer, and claims he can prove that the true mean temperature is incorrect.

Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.

From above;

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

\mathbf{H_o : \mu  = 42} \\ \\ \mathbf {H_1 : \mu \neq 42}

Here , the hypothesis test of the claim is the alternative hypothesis.

The conclusion based on the decision rule:  is to reject the null hypothesis

∴

The conclusion in non technical terms is that :

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean temperature is different from 42 deg

HELP ME AND YOU'LL GET 95 POINTS ASAP
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: See explanation. Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change, subtract then divide. This is especially a good strategy when you have the x and y values when x = 0:

604 - 460 = 144

144 divided by 18 =

8

Therefore, the rate of change is 8. We can even go further to create an equation for this:

y intercept = 460 (because 0 multiplied by the rate of change would be 0).

slope = 8

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b --> y = 8x + 460

Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.
