Answer:

a) f(-1) = 1

b) f(0) = 6

c) f(2) = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is lesser than 0, we have that:

f(x) = 4x + 5

Otherwhise

f(x) = x + 6

(a) f(-1)

Here x = -1.

-1 is lesser than 0

Then

f(x) = 4x + 5

f(-1) = 4*(-1) + 5 = -4 + 5 = 1

(b) f(0)

Here x = 0

When x equals 0

f(x) = x + 6

Then

f(0) = 0 + 6 = 6

(c) f(2)

Here x = 2

When x = 2

f(x) = x + 6

Then

f(2) = 2 + 6 = 8

A company packs 36 boxes in each case to ship to stores. You have been assigned the task to determine the least amount of volume

pshichka [43]

Answer:

432 in^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of each individual box is 12 cubic inches. 12 × 36 = 432 cubic inches. The case needs to hold at least 432 in^3.

Find the common ratio r for the given geometric sequence and find the next three terms.

34kurt

Answer:

The common ratio is -2

Next three terms are 18, -36, and 72

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is -2 since each consecutive term is being multiplied by -2

The next three terms are -9(-2) = 18, 18(-2) = -36, and -36(-2) = 72

What kind of sequence is the pattern 1, 6, 7, 13, 20, ...?

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The given sequence 6, 7, 13, 20, ... is a recursive sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given sequence is

$6, 7, 13, 20, ...$

It cannot be an arithmetic sequence as the common difference between two consecutive terms in not constant.

$d = 7-6=1$ , $d = 13-7=6$

As d is not same. Hence, it cannot be an arithmetic sequence.

It also cannot be a geometrical sequence and exponential sequence.

It cannot be geometric sequence as the common ratio between two consecutive terms in not constant.

$r = 7-6=1$ , $r = 13-7=6$

$r = \frac{7}{6}$ , $r = \frac{13}{7}$

As r is not same, Hence, it cannot be a geometric sequence or exponential sequence. As exponential sequence and geometric sequence are basically the same thing.

So, if we carefully observe, we can determine that:

The given sequence 6, 7, 13, 20, ... is a recursive sequence.

Please have a close look that each term is being created by adding the preceding two terms.

For example, the sequence is generated by starting from 1.

${\displaystyle F_{1}=1$

and

$F_{n}=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$

for n > 1.

A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanks

klio [65]

Answer:

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are in favor of making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday, or they are against. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

So, the binomial probability distribution has two parameters, n and p.

In this problem, we have that $n = 1000$ and $p = \frac{700}{1000} = 0.7$ . So the parameter is

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.
