Work out the formula of the nth term in the following quadratic sequence:<br> 19, 15, 9, 1...

Butoxors [25]

In a quadratic sequence we'll get a linear first difference and a constant second difference. Let's verify that.

n 1 2 3 4

f(n) 19 15 9 1

1st diff -4 -6 -8

2nd diff 2 2

We see that we got a constant second difference. We could just extend that and work back up to get more values.

n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

f(n) 19 15 9 1 -9 -21 -35

1st diff -4 -6 -8 -10 -12 -14

2nd diff 2 2 2 2 2

That's just an aside; we're after the general formula. We have

f(1)=19, f(2)=15, f(3)=9

In general we can assume

f(n) = an² + bn + c

We get three equations in three unknowns,

19 = a(1²)+b(1)+c = a+b+c

15 = a(2²) + b(2) + c = 4a + 2b + c

9 = a(3²) + b(3) + c = 9a + 3b + c

That's a 3x3 linear system; it's easy to solve directly. Subtracting pairs,

4 = -3a - b

6 = -5a - b

Subtracting those,

-2 = 2a

a = -1

b = -3a -4 = -1

c = 19-a-b = 21

Answer: f(n) = -n² - n + 21

Check:

f(1) = -1 - 1 + 21 = 19, good

f(2) = -4 - 2 + 21 = 15, good

f(3) = -9 - 3 + 21 = 9, good

f(4) = -16 - 4 + 21 = 1, good

Let's check our extended table, how about

f(7)= -49 - 7 + 21 = -35, good

Chloe and Libby want to tie Ryan to a bunch of approximately spherical helium balloons of diameter 0.3m. The volume of each ball

dem82 [27]

Answer: Aproximately 2,525 balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the volume of a balloon with the formula given in the problem, where $r$ is the radius ( $r=\frac{0.3m}{2}=0.15m$ ), then:

$V=4(0.15m)^{3}=0.0135m^{3}$

2. Convert the volume from m³ to lliters by multiplying it by 1,000:

$V=0.0135m^{3}*1000=13.5L$

3. You know that that 1 liter of helium can lift 1 gram and that Ryan weighs 5 stone and 5 pounds. So you must make the following conversions:

1 g=0.0022 lb

From 5 stones to pounds

$(5stone)(\frac{14pounds}{1stone})=70pounds=70lbs$

4. Then Ryan's weigh is:

5lb+70lb=75lb

5. Then, if 1 liter of helium can lift 0.0022 lb, to lift 75 lb (which is the weight of Ryan) they need:

$\frac{75lb*1L}{0.0022lb}=34,090.90L$

6. Then, to calculate the aproximated number of balloons they need to make him float (which can call $n$ ), you must divide the liters of helium needed to lift the weight of Ryan by the volume of a balloon, then the result is:

$n=\frac{34,090.90L}{13.5L}$

$n=2,525.25$ ≈2,525 balloons.

A coin is flipped until 3 heads in succession occur. list only those elements of the sample space that require 6 or less tosses.

Mashutka [201]

we are given

A coin is flipped until 3 heads in succession occur

so, firstly, we will find sample space

S={HHH , THHH , HTHHH, TTHHH , TTTHHH , HTTHHH , THTHHH , HHTHHHH, ......}

now, we are given that

list only those elements of the sample space that require 6 or less tosses

so, we can see that sample space

S={HHH , THHH , HTHHH, TTHHH , TTTHHH , HTTHHH , THTHHH , HHTHHHH, ......}

There are infinite such possibilities

so, there are infinite number of elements in space

and we know that

discrete sample space will always have finite elements

but we have infinite number of sample space elements here

so, this is not discrete sample space...........Answer
