What is the explicit formula for the sequence 10, 15, 22.5, 33.75, …?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there's no one one number you can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next number, this is not arithmetic. It must be geometric. We need then to find the common ratio. Let's start with the first 2 numbers, find a ratio, and then use it to test for accuracy.
10x = 15 and
x = If this is in fact a geometric sequence witha common ratio of 3/2, we should be able to multiply 15 by 3/2 to get to the next number in the sequence. Let's try it out:
Good. So the common ratio is 3/2. The formula for an explicit geometric formula is
where a1 is the first number in the sequence and r is the common ratio. Filling in:

Answer:
x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x2-x=7
7x2=14.
14-x=7
When you finished the last step, you will subtract 14 to both sides.
14-x=7
14-14-x=7-14
this will cancel out the 14 on the left.
And will leave you with:
-x=7-14
7-14 is -7.
and this will get you to
-x=-7
To finish this off, you have to turn the negative x/variable, into a positive x/variable.
So, you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
-x = -7
into
and it will be -7.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the mean incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 25 days.
Let X be the incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 25 days.
X is N(25, 1)
a) Normal curve is in the attached file
b) the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 23 days
=
we convert x into Z score and use std normal distn table to find probability
i.e. we can say only 2.5% proportion will hatch in less than 23 days.
