Answer:

The second option is the correct answer

The sequence is : 0, -1, -6, -31, -156

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The recursive formula , an = 5a(n-1) - 1 and a1 = 0

a2 = 5a1 -1 = 5x0 - 1 = -1

a3 = 5a2 - 1 = (5x -1 ) - 1 = - 5 - 1 = -6

a4 = 5a3 - 1 =(5x -6) - 1 = -30 - 1= -31

a5 = 5a4 - 1 = (5 x -31 ) - 1 = -155 -1 = -156

Therefore the resulting sequence is

0, -1, -6, -31 ,-156

A technician compares repair costs for two types of microwave ovens (type I and type II). He believes that the repair cost for t

hoa [83]

Answer:

Since p value <0.1 accept the claim that oven I repair costs are more

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given for two types of ovens are summarised below:

Group Group One Group Two

Mean 85.7900 78.6700

SD 15.1300 17.8400

SEM 1.9533 2.3840

N 60 56

Alpha = 10%

$H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 =0\\H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2> 0$

(Right tailed test)

The mean of Group One minus Group Two equals 7.1200

df = 114

standard error of difference = 3.065

t = 2.3234

p value = 0.0219

If p value <0.10 reject null hypothesis

4) Since p value <0.1 accept the claim that oven I repair costs are more

Use the equation m Subscript PQ Baseline equals StartFraction f left parenthesis x 1 plus h right parenthesis minus f left paren

babunello [35]

Answer:

m = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

For f(x) = 2x² you want to find the slope m using ...

m = (f(x+h) -f(x))/h

at x=3.

Filling in the function definition and its arguments, we have ...

m = (2(x+h)² -2x²)/h = (2x² +4hx +2h² -2x²)/h = 4x +2h

The value of this as h goes to zero is ...

m = 4x

At x=3, the slope is ...

m = 4·3 = 12

_____

The attached graph shows a numerical estimate of the slope (f'(3)=12) and the line with that slope through the point P(3, 18). The line certainly appears to be tangent to the curve at that point.
