Describe the pattern, write the next term, and write a rule for the nth term of the sequence,

Mathematics
1 answer:
vagabundo [1.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Next term is - 51

Use formula Tn=a+(n-1)d

a=the first term of the sequence which is - 15

d=the difference between the terms which is - 9

Substitute

Tn=-15+(n-1)(-9)

Tn=-15+9-9n

Tn=-9n-6

From this you will be able to generate all the terms in the pattern

If they say determine the 50th term just substitute 50 by n

Tn=-9(50)-6

Tn=-450-6

Tn=-456

Mr. West is standing on a cliff that is 25 1/5meters above the surface of the ocean. He spots a dolphin that is 2 3/5 meters und
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Total distance from Mr. West to dolphin =27\frac{4}{5}\ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of cliff on which Mr. West is standing above the surface of ocean =25 \frac{1}{5} \ meters

Mr. West spot the dolphin under the water at a depth of =  2\frac{3}{5} \ meters

∴ Total distance from Mr. West to dolphin=(25 \frac{1}{5}+2\frac{3}{5})\ meters

Adding mixed numbers

(25 \frac{1}{5}+2\frac{3}{5})

Adding whole numbers first.

=25+2+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}\\=27+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}

Adding fractions by taking LCD.

=27+\frac{1+3}{5}\\=27+\frac{4}{5}\\=27\frac{4}{5}\ meters

Theo earns a base salary plus commission. At the end of September, he was paid $3,835.25 based on his monthly sales of $12,850.
hodyreva [135]

Theo's base salary  using a simultaneous equation approach is $2,996.22 .

In order to determine the base salary of Theo, we can express the two earnings and sales amounts using simultaneous equation, that we would solve to arrive at the base salary

Bear in mind that total earnings are determined as base salary plus commission

Let X be the base salary

Let R be the rate of commission

commission =sales*rate of commission

When earnings were $3,835.25 and sales is $12,850, we have the below equation:

X+(12,850*R)=3,835.25

X+12850R=3,835.25  .................... equation (1)

When earnings were $3,641 and sales is $9,875, we have the below equation:

X+(9,875*R)=3641

X+9875R=3641 .........................  equation (2)

subtract equation 2 from 1

2975R=194.25

R=194.25/2975

R=commission rate=6.52941176470588%

substitute for R in equation 1 to arrive at X(base salary)

X+(12850*6.52941176470588%)=3,835.25

X=3,835.25-(12850*6.52941176470588%)

X=base salary=$2,996.22

The California Tiger Salamander is an endangered species, which decreases at the rate of 4.6% per year in a habitat that current
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Population after 4 years = 49 (nearest unit)

Population after 5 years  = 47 (nearest unit)

Step-by-step explanation:

Yearly decrease = 4.6%

Decrease factor (what's left) = (100-4.6)% = 0.954

Current population, P = 60

population after n years = P(0.954)^n  (to the nearest unit)

Population after 4 years = 60(0.954)^4 = 49.7 = 49 (nearest unit)

Population after 5 years  = 60(0.954)^5 = 47.4 = 47 (nearest unit)

A psychologist obtains a random sample of 2020 mothers in the first trimester of their pregnancy. The mothers are asked to play
leva [86]

Answer:

First of all, we need to determine the system of hypothesis, which must have a null and alternative hypothesis.

In all hypothesis proof procedure, we must work with the null one, rejecting it or accepting it. If we reject the null hypothesis, it will mean that our principal hypothesis is true.

According to the problem, the null hypothesis must be: H_{o} : u = 100; because it says that 100 is the normal mean that is used.

The alternative hypothesis must be: H_{a} : u > 100; because the question is asking if there's enough evidence to say that they children have a higher IQ than 100.

Then, we must calculate the P-value, which is the probability value that we are gonna use to accept or reject the null hypothesis. This P-value we can calculate it with the formula: Z=\frac{x-u}{\frac{o}{\sqrt{n} } }; where x is the sample mean, u is the hypothetical mean parameter, o is the sample deviation and n is the sample.

Extracting all values from the problem: x = 104.3; u = 100; o = 14 and n = 20.

Applying all values to the formula: Z=\frac{104.3 - 100}{\frac{14}{\sqrt{20} } } = \frac{4.3}{\frac{14}{ 4.5} }=\frac{4.3}{3.1}=1.4

Then, this Z-value will give us the P-value by using the Z-table with the 0.05 level of significance. In table attached, we can see that the result is 0.9265. However, the P-value is 1 - 0.9265 = 0.735. We need to do this subtraction because, the result 0.9265 belong to the bigger area (as it's shown is the image in blue colour), and we need the smaller area, which belong to the 0.05 level of significance.

<em>In this problems, if the P-value is more than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is accepted. If the P-value is less than the level of significance the null hypothesis is rejected.</em>

Therefore, there is no enough evidence to say that the sample children have higher IQs, because the P-value is higher than the level of significance. (0.735>0.05).
