(1 & 2/3) ft = (1 ft) + (2/3 ft)

(1 & 2/3) ft = 12 inches + 12*(2/3) inches

(1 & 2/3) ft = 12 inches + 8 inches

(1 & 2/3) ft = 20 inches

If the tree grows 5 inches per year, then it will take 4 years to get to 20 inches since 5*4 = 20. You can also divide to get 20/5 = 4.

So it takes 4 years for the tree to grow 1&2/3 feet tall.

Answer:

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so basically write a proportion

5 inches/per year

Then, find out how many inches are in 1 2/3 feet

1 2/3 = 1 8/12

Meaning there 1 2/3 feet is 1 foot and 8 inches. We know a foot is 12 inches. so then you just add 12 + 8 which is 20

Now going back to your proportion

5 inches/ per year =20 inches/x years

We know 5 goes into 20 4 times. Meaning to get to 20, your'e going to have to multiply the numerator by 4. But whatever you do to the numerator, you must do to the denominator. So multiply 1 x 4 which is 4 meaning it is going to take 4 years for the tree to grow 1 2/3 feet.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARITHMETIC AND GEOMETRIC SEQUENCES AND SERIES'?

uysha [10]

A sequence is a set of numbers.
If the difference between two consecutive terms is constant, then the sequence is called arithmetic and the difference is called the common difference.
If the numbers in the sequence follow a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio, r, then the sequence is geometric sequence.

The same bedroom furniture set costs $1,500 in both Florida and Alabama. The table gives a breakdown of the taxes someone would

vitfil [10]

Answer:

A: True

B, C and D: False

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total sales tax for Alabama that is:

$T_A=4.225+1.375+3=8.6$

The total sales tax for Florida is:

$T_F=6.5+1+1.625=9.125$

The total sales tax is greater in Florida than in Alabama.

A. The furniture set is cheaper in Alabama, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by about $8. TRUE

The sales tax difference in this purchase can be calculated as:

$1500(T_F-T_A)=1500\left(\dfrac{9.125-8.6}{100}\right)=1500\cdot 0.00525=7.875\approx 8$

B. The furniture set is cheaper in Florida, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by about $10. FALSE (it is cheaper in Alabama)

C. The furniture set is cheaper in Alabama, because the amount of sales tax will be lower by $10. FALSE (the sale tax in Alabama is $129)

The amount of sales tax in Alabama is:

$ST_A=1500\cdot T_A=1500\cdot 0.086=129$

D. The furniture set costs the same in either state, because the amount of sales tax will be the same for the two locations. FALSE (it is not the same in both states).

Find the range of the following piecewise function.

mash [69]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{[-5;\ -2)\ \cup\ [3;\ 13)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The following piecewise functions are linear functions. The graph of any of them is a line segment.

We just need to calculate the value of the function at each end specified in the brace.

$y=3x-2\ \text{if}\ -1\leq x$

Substitute x =-1 and x = 0:

$x=-1\\y=3(-1)-2=-3-2=-5\\\\x=0\\y=3(0)-2=0-2=-2$

Range of this piece is [-5; -2)

$y=2x+3\ \text{if}\ 0\leq x$

Substitute x =0and x = 5:

$x=0\\y=2(0)+3=0+3=3\\\\x=5\\y=2(5)+3=10+3=13$

Range of this piece is [3; 13)

Therefore the range of the following piecewise function is:

$[-5;\ -2)\ \cup\ [3;\ 13)$

Look at the picture.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

The degrees of freedom first given by:

$df=n-1=12-1=11$

Then we can find the critical value taking in count the degrees of freedom and the alternative hypothesis and then we need to find a critical value who accumulates 0.05 of the area in the right tail and we got:

$t_{\alpha}= 1.796$

And for this case the rejection region would be:

b) Reject H0 if tcalc >1.7960

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

5, 7, 4, 6, 7, 5, 5, 6, 4, 4, 7, 5.

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true mean is higher than 5, the system of hypothesis are :

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 5$

The statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

The degrees of freedom first given by:

$df=n-1=12-1=11$

$t_{\alpha}= 1.796$

And for this case the rejection region would be:

b) Reject H0 if tcalc >1.7960
