What are the first four terms in tn=3n+2

1 answer:

3 0

For this question we are looking at arithmetic sequences. A sequence is any set of numbers in a particular order. An arithmetic sequence is a specific type of sequence where the difference between 2 consecutive terms is constant. The difference is called the common difference. In your problem...

t_n = 3n + 2

we need to find the common difference, then we can find the 1st four terms. Find the 1st term by replacing n with 1.

t_1 = 3(1) +2
t_1 = 3 +2 = 5

Find the second term by replacing n with 2

t_2 = 3(2) + 2 = 8

and so on

t_3 = 3(3) + 2 = 11

t_4 = 3(4) + 2 = 14

The 1st 4 numbers in the sequence are 5,8,11, and 14.

You can see the common difference is d=3. You could plug any number into the equation to find that number in the sequence. For example, the 100th number in the sequence would be

t_100 = 3(100) + 2 = 302

For a sample of n=64, the probability of a sample mean being less than 20.5 if u = 21 and sigma = 1.31 is (Round to four decim

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The mean is usual

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 21, the standard deviation (sd) = 1.31 and the sample size (n) = 64

They ask us for P (x <20.5)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / (sd / (n ^ 1/2))

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (20.5 - 21) / (1.31 / (64 ^ 1/2))

z = -3.05

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <-3.05) = 0.0002

The mean is usual because P (x> 20.5) = 1 - P (x <20.5) = 1 - 0.0002 = 0.9998 is a fairly high probability.

The diagram shows a triangle.

Basile [38]

Answer:

s=13

Step-by-step explanation:

$As\ we\ know\ that,\\"The \ sum\ of\ all\ angles\ of\ a\ triangle\ is\ 180"\\Hence,\\(4s+9)+(3s+1)+(6s+1)=180\\4s+3s+6s+9+1+1=180\\13s+11=180\\13s=180-11\\13s=169\\s=13$

Solve for unknown values.

forsale [732]

Firstly, a straight line = 180 degrees.
Based on the statement above, we can create an equation of 180-95 = x
(Which is 85)
Now, we also know that all of the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so we can create this equation of 180- (85 + 50) = y
(Which is 45)

The coordinates of the endpoint of QS are Q(-9,8) and S(9,-4). Point R is on cue as such that QR:RS Is in the ratio 1:2. What ar

marishachu [46]

R(–3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q(-9,8) and S(9,-4) be the given points and let R(x, y) divides QS in the ratio 1:2.

By section formula,

$R(x, y)=R\left(\frac{m x_{2}+n x_{1}}{m+n}, \frac{m y_{2}+n y_{1}}{m+n}\right)$
