Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. This paragraph describes an observational study.
It is not a controlled experiment because the guidance counselors didn't plan to separate the students into 2 groups and then observe the results. They instead checked records.
2. The students who took Latin are the treatment group.
3. The fact that students decided on their own to take Latin is a confounding factor.
4. The students who did not take Latin are the placebo or control group.

<u><em>The question in English is:</em></u>
From the general term, calculate the first 4 terms.
(Consider that you must assign values to the variable n)
we have
step 1
Calculate the first term
For n=1
step 2
Calculate the second term
For n=2
step 3
Calculate the third term
For n=3
step 4
Calculate the fourth term
For n=4
therefore
the first 4 terms are
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Complex answer: For a point to be in quadrant II, it must have a negative x value and a positive y value.
Simple answer: The 1 would have to be negative to be in quadrant II, and it isn't
Part I
We have the size of the sheet of cardboard and we'll use the variable "x" to represent the length of the cuts. For any given cut, the available distance is reduced by twice the length of the cut. So we can create the following equations for length, width, and height.
width: w = 12 - 2x
length: l = 18 - 2x
height: h = x
Part II
v = l * w * h
v = (18 - 2x)(12 - 2x)x
v = (216 - 36x - 24x + 4x^2)x
v = (216 - 60x + 4x^2)x
v = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
Part III
The length of the cut has to be greater than 0 and less than half the length of the smallest dimension of the cardboard (after all, there has to be something left over after cutting out the corners). So 0 < x < 6
Let's try to figure out an x that gives a volume of 224 in^3. Since this is high school math, it's unlikely that you've been taught how to handle cubic equations, so let's instead look at integer values of x. If we use a value of 1, we get a volume of:
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*1^3 - 60*1^2 + 216*1
v = 4*1 - 60*1 + 216
v = 4 - 60 + 216
v = 160
Too small, so let's try 2.
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*2^3 - 60*2^2 + 216*2
v = 4*8 - 60*4 + 216*2
v = 32 - 240 + 432
v = 224
And that's the desired volume.
So let's choose a value of x=2.
Reason?
It meets the inequality of 0 < x < 6 and it also gives the desired volume of 224 cubic inches.
