Answer: $\bold{(A)\ a_n=500,000(1.1)^{n-1}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

From the data provided, we know the sequence is {500,000; 550,000; 605,000; ... }. $So, a_1 = 500,000\ and\ r = \dfrac{550,000}{500,000}=1.1$

The explicit rule for a geometric sequence is: $a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}$

So, the explicit rule for the sequence above is: $a_n=500,000(1.1)^{n-1}$

Which number sentence is not true?

melomori [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is the actual distance of the number from zero. So, it is always a positive number. No negative value.

A) I -4.5I = 4.5 TRUE

B) I 0I < I -45I TRUE

Reason: 0 < 45

C) I 45 I > 0 TRUE

D) I4.5 I > I - 45 I FALSE

Reason: 4.5is not greater than 45

Please determine whether the set S = x^2 + 3x + 1, 2x^2 + x - 1, 4.c is a basis for P2. Please explain and show all work. It is

ohaa [14]

The vectors in $S$ form a basis of $P_2$ if they are mutually linearly independent and span $P_2$ .

To check for independence, we can compute the Wronskian determinant:

$\begin{vmatrix}x^2+3x+1&2x^2+x-1&4\\2x+3&4x+1&0\\2&4&0\end{vmatrix}=4\begin{vmatrix}2x+3&4x+1\\2&4\end{vmatrix}=40\neq0$

The determinant is non-zero, so the vectors are indeed independent.

To check if they span $P_2$ , you need to show that any vector in $P_2$ can be expressed as a linear combination of the vectors in $S$ . We can write an arbitrary vector in $P_2$ as

$p=ax^2+bx+c$

Then we need to show that there is always some choice of scalars $k_1,k_2,k_3$ such that

$k_1(x^2+3x+1)+k_2(2x^2+x-1)+k_34=p$

This is equivalent to solving

$(k_1+2k_2)x^2+(3k_1+k_2)x+(k_1-k_2+4k_3)=ax^2+bx+c$

or the system (in matrix form)

$\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\3&1&0\\1&-1&4\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}k_1\\k_2\\k_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\end{bmatrix}$

This has a solution if the coefficient matrix on the left is invertible. It is, because

$\begin{vmatrix}1&1&0\\3&1&0\\1&-1&4\end{vmatrix}=4\begin{vmatrix}1&2\\3&1\end{vmatrix}=-20\neq0$

(that is, the coefficient matrix is not singular, so an inverse exists)

Compute the inverse any way you like; you should get

$\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\3&1&0\\1&-1&4\end{bmatrix}^{-1}=-\dfrac1{20}\begin{bmatrix}4&-8&0\\-12&4&0\\-4&3&-5\end{bmatrix}$

Then

$\begin{bmatrix}k_1\\k_2\\k_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\3&1&0\\1&-1&4\end{bmatrix}^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\end{bmatrix}$

$\implies k_1=\dfrac{2b-a}5,k_2=\dfrac{3a-b}5,k_3=\dfrac{4a-3b+5c}{20}$

A solution exists for any choice of $a,b,c$ , so the vectors in $S$ indeed span $P_2$ .

The vectors in $S$ are independent and span $P_2$ , so $S$ forms a basis of $P_2$ .
