Mathematics
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The 7th number in the sequence is \frac{125}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient between consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

A_n = A(0)r^{n-1}

In which A(0) is the first term and r is the common ratio.

1000,-500,250,-125

This means that A(0) = 1000, r = -\frac{500}{1000} = -\frac{1}{2}

So

A_n = A(0)r^{n-1}

A_n = 1000(-\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

What is the 7th number in the sequence?

This is A_7. So

A_7 = 1000(-\frac{1}{2})^{7-1} = \frac{1000}{64} = \frac{125}{8}

The 7th number in the sequence is \frac{125}{8}

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories
ziro4ka [17]

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.

Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories)  means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct
