Mathematics

Let the first term be a(0).  Then the formula for a(n) is a(0)-18(n-1).

Check:  What's the first term?  Let n = 1:  a(1) = a(0)-18(1-1) = a(0) (correct)

What's the second term?    Let -n =2:  a(2) = a(0)-18(2-1) = a(0) - 18

and so on.

Answer : The an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence will be, a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)

Step-by-step explanation :

Arithmetic progression : It is a sequence of numbers in which the difference of any two successive number is a constant.

The general formula of arithmetic progression is:

a(n)=a+(n-1)d

where,

a(n) = nth term in the sequence

a = first term in the sequence

d = common difference

n = number of terms in the sequence

As we are given that:

Common difference = d = -18

Thus, the formula of arithmetic progression will be:

a(n)=a+(n-1)d

a(n)=a+(n-1)\times (-18)

a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)

For example:

Let n=1 :

a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)\\\\a(1)=a-18(1-1)=a

Let n=2 :

a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)\\\\a(2)=a-18(2-1)=a-18

Let n=3 :

a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)\\\\a(3)=a-18(3-1)=a-36

The sequence will be, a, (a-18), (a-36),.........

Thus, the an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence will be, a(n)=a-18\times (n-1)

The commuting time for a student to travel from home to a college campus is normally distributed with a mean of 30 minutes and a
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the commuting time for the student. We know that X\sim N(30, (5)^2). Then, the normal probability density function for the random variable X is given by

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi(5)^{2}}}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2(5)^{2}}]. We are seeking the probability P(X>35) because the student leaves home at 8:25 A.M., we want to know the probability that the student will arrive at the college campus later than 9 A.M. and between 8:25 A.M. and 9 A.M. there are 35 minutes of difference. So,

 

P(X>35) = \int\limits_{35}^{\infty}f(x)dx = 0.1587

To find this probability you can use either a table from a book or a programming language. We have used the R statistical programming language an the instruction pnorm(35, mean = 30, sd = 5, lower.tail = F)

2kg of coconut juice, which costs $5/kg, were combined with 8kg of coconut milk, which costs $3/kg. Find the cost per kg of the
katen-ka-za [31]
Cost per kg=(total cost)/(total kg)


total cost
coconut juice: 2kg, at $5/kg, so 5*2=$10
coconut milk: 8kg, at $3/kb, so 8*3=$24

total cost=10+24=$34

total kg=2+8=10

cost per kg=$34/10kg=$3.40per kg
