5. the numbers are being multiplied by 4 each time, so the geometric sequence would be
an= 1/2(4) ^(n-1)
6. the numbers are being multiplied by 1/4 each time, so the geometric sequence would be
an= 32(1/4)^(n-1)
an in the formula is what ever term in the sequence.
32 or 1/2 is the a which is the first term in the sequence.
4 or 1/4 is the r in the sequence because it is the common ratio so what the equation was multiplied by to get the next term.
(n-1) is because when you are using this equation to solve for whatever term (an) you must subtract the first number in the sequence to get an accurate number
an you can input whatever number when trying to solve.

Answer:
x = - 5 , x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
the values of x that make f(x) zero are the zeros
to find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is
3x² + 13x - 10 = 0
consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 3 × - 10 = - 30 and sum = + 13
the factors are + 15 and - 2
use these factors to split the x- term
3x² + 15x - 2x - 10 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) = 0 ← factor out (x + 5) from each term
(x + 5)(3x - 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x =
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 658008 samples
b) 274050 samples
c) 515502 samples
Step-by-step explanation:
a) How many ways sample of 5 each can be selected from 40 is just a combination problem since the order of selection isn't important.
So, the number of samples = ⁴⁰C₅ = 658008 samples
b) How many samples of 5 contain exactly one nonconforming chip?
There are 10 nonconforming chips in the batch, and 1 nonconforming chip for the sample of 5 be picked from ten in the following number of ways
¹⁰C₁ = 10 ways
then the remaining 4 conforming chips in a sample of 5 can be picked from the remaining 30 total conforming chips in the following number of ways
³⁰C₄ = 27405 ways
So, total number of samples containing exactly 1 nonconforming chip in a sample of 5 = 10 × 27405 = 274050 samples
c) How many samples of 5 contain at least one nonconforming chip?
The number of samples of 5 that contain at least one nonconforming chip = (Total number of samples) - (Number of samples with no nonconforming chip in them)
Number of samples with no nonconforming chip in them = ³⁰C₅ = 142506 samples
Total number of samples = 658008
The number of samples of 5 that contain at least one nonconforming chip = 658008 - 142506 = 515502 samples
