The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is y = 3(x-4)2 +13. What is the

A test is used to assess readiness for college. In a recent year, the mean test score was 20.3 and the standard deviation was 4

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$\mu = 20.3$

$\sigma = 4.9$

And we can find the limits in order to consider values as significantly low and high like this:

$Low\leq \mu -2 \sigma= 20.3- 2*4.9 = 10.5$

$High\geq \mu +2 \sigma= 20.3+ 2*4.9 = 30.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

For this case we can consider a value to be significantly low if we have that the z score is lower or equal to - 2 and we can consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is higher tor equal to 2.

For this case we have the mean and the deviation given:

$\mu = 20.3$

$\sigma = 4.9$

And we can find the limits in order to consider values as significantly low and high like this:

$Low \leq \mu -2 \sigma= 20.3- 2*4.9 = 10.5$

$High\geq \mu +2 \sigma= 20.3+ 2*4.9 = 30.1$

6. Evaluate the expression for the value of the variable. 1/3x + 5 x = -6

taurus [48]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3} x + 5x = - 6 \\ \frac{16}{3} x = - 6 \\ x = \frac{ - 6}{ \frac{16}{3} } \\ x = \frac{ - 9}{8}$

Yen put $50 of gas in his truck. The price per gallon was $4. Write an equation that could be used to find the number of gallons

Allushta [10]

<em>g </em>= gallons.

50 ÷ 4 = g ; which this would then show us that if we were to divide 50 by 4, this would then give us a total of 12.5 which this would show us that would be the amount that he has putted in his truck.

Determine the formula for the nth term of the sequence:<br>-2,1,7,25,79,...

rodikova [14]

A plausible guess might be that the sequence is formed by a degree-4* polynomial,

$x_n = a n^4 + b n^3 + c n^2 + d n + e$

From the given known values of the sequence, we have

$\begin{cases}a+b+c+d+e = -2 \\ 16 a + 8 b + 4 c + 2 d + e = 1 \\ 81 a + 27 b + 9 c + 3 d + e = 7 \\ 256 a + 64 b + 16 c + 4 d + e = 25 \\ 625 a + 125 b + 25 c + 5 d + e = 79\end{cases}$

Solving the system yields coefficients

$a=\dfrac58, b=-\dfrac{19}4, c=\dfrac{115}8, d = -\dfrac{65}4, e=4$

so that the n-th term in the sequence might be

$\displaystyle x_n = \boxed{\frac{5 n^4}{8}-\frac{19 n^3}{4}+\frac{115 n^2}{8}-\frac{65 n}{4}+4}$

Then the next few terms in the sequence could very well be

$\{-2, 1, 7, 25, 79, 208, 466, 922, 1660, 2779, \ldots\}$

It would be much easier to confirm this had the given sequence provided just one more term...

* Why degree-4? This rests on the assumption that the higher-order forward differences of $\{x_n\}$ eventually form a constant sequence. But we only have enough information to find one term in the sequence of 4th-order differences. Denote the k-th-order forward differences of $\{x_n\}$ by $\Delta^{k}\{x_n\}$ . Then

• 1st-order differences:

$\Delta\{x_n\} = \{1-(-2), 7-1, 25-7, 79-25,\ldots\} = \{3,6,18,54,\ldots\}$

• 2nd-order differences:

$\Delta^2\{x_n\} = \{6-3,18-6,54-18,\ldots\} = \{3,12,36,\ldots\}$

• 3rd-order differences:

$\Delta^3\{x_n\} = \{12-3, 36-12,\ldots\} = \{9,24,\ldots\}$

• 4th-order differences:

$\Delta^4\{x_n\} = \{24-9,\ldots\} = \{15,\ldots\}$

From here I made the assumption that $\Delta^4\{x_n\}$ is the constant sequence {15, 15, 15, …}. This implies $\Delta^3\{x_n\}$ forms an arithmetic/linear sequence, which implies $\Delta^2\{x_n\}$ forms a quadratic sequence, and so on up $\{x_n\}$ forming a quartic sequence. Then we can use the method of undetermined coefficients to find it.
