The sum of 'n' terms of an arithmetic sequence is 4n^2+3n. What is the first term, the common difference, and the sequence?

Answer:

The sequence has first term 7 and common difference is 8.

So the sequence is f(n)=7 + 8(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the first term.

Let a+d be the second term where d is the common difference.

Then a+2d is the third....

And a+(n-1)d is the nth term.

Adding these terms we get:

an+(n-1)(n)/2×d

For the first term of this sum I seen we had n amount of a's and for the second term I used the well known identity sum of the first n positive integers is n(n+1)/2.

Let's simplify:

an+(n-1)(n)/2×d

Distribute:

an+(n^2d/2)-(nd/2)

Find common denominator:

(2an/2)+(n^2d/2)-(nd/2)

Combine terms into one:

(2an+n^2d-nd)/2

Reorder terms:

(n^2d+2an-nd)/2

Regroup terms:

(n^2d+(2a-d)n)/2

We want the following sum though:

4n^2+3n

This means d/2=4 (so d=8) and (2a-d)/2=3.

So plug d=8 into second equation to solve for a.

(2a-8)/2=3

2a-8=6

2a=14

a=7

The sequence has first term 7 and common difference is 8.

So the sequence is f(n)=7 + 8(n-1).

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive reading

Event B: Contains raritanium

Probability of a positive reading:

98% of 13%(positive when there is raritanium).

0.5% of 100-13 = 87%(false positive, positive when there is no raritanium). So

P(A) = 0.98*0.13 + 0.005*0.87 = 0.13175

Positive when there is raritanium:

98% of 13%

P(A) = 0.98*0.13 = 0.1274

What is the probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1274}{0.13175} = 0.967

0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a. 254.34, b. 56.52

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A = πr^2,

A = 3.14(9^2)

A = 3.14*81

A = 254.34

b. C = πd

C = 18*3.14

C = 56.52
