First take out the GCF which is 4x

 4x (x^2 - 3x - 10) = 0

4x(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

4x = 0  so x = 0

x - 5 = 0 so x = 5

x+2 = 0 so x = -2

zeros are  -2, 0 and 5

The third through the fifth terms of a geometric sequence are given by a3 = 18, a4 = 27 , and a5 = 81/2
Kaylis [27]

Let <em>a</em> be the first term in the sequence. If <em>r</em> is the ratio between consecutive terms, then the second term is <em>ar</em>, the third term is <em>ar </em>^2, the fourth is <em>ar</em> ^3, and so on, up to the <em>n</em>-th term <em>ar</em> ^(<em>n</em> - 1).

So the third, fourth, and fifth terms are such that

<em>ar</em> ^2 = 18

<em>ar</em> ^3 = 27

<em>ar</em> ^4 = 81/2

Solve for <em>a</em> and <em>r</em> :

(<em>ar</em> ^3) / (<em>ar</em> ^2) = 27/18   =>   <em>r</em> = 3/2

<em>ar</em> ^2 = <em>a</em> (3/2)^2 = 9/4 <em>a</em> = 18   =>   <em>a</em> = 8

Then the <em>n</em>-th term in the sequence is

<em>ar</em> ^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 9 (3/2)^(<em>n</em> - 1)

You can rewrite this by first rewriting 9 = 3^2, then

9 (3/2)^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 3^2 * 3^(<em>n</em> - 1) / 2^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 3^(<em>n</em> + 1)/2^(<em>n</em> - 1)

What is the area of the sector shown in the picture
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The area of the sector shown is 4.75 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to know what fraction of the total circle that part represents

for that we divide 45 ​​by 360

45/360 = 1/8

now we calculate the area of ​​the circle and divide it by 8

a = ( π * 6² ) / 8

a = ( π * 36 ) / 8

a = π * 4.75

a = 4.75 pi

As a single logarithm, 2log2 6- log29+ 1/3log2 27 = log2 12.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

2log2 6- log2 9+ 1/3log2 27 =

= log2 6² - log2 9 + log2 27^(1/3)

= log2 36 - log2 9 + log2 3

= log2 [(36 × 3)/9]

= log2 12

The statement is true.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The margin of error of his experiment is of 0.1074.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

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

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

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

30 M & M's from a bag, and 3 of them are green.

This means that n = 30, \pi = \frac{3}{30} = 0.1

Standard 95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Margin of error:

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

M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1*0.9}{30}}

M = 0.1074

The margin of error of his experiment is of 0.1074.
