Answer:

The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 8, 11, 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. You use the formula to find out each term.
  2. f(n)=3n-1 starting with n=1. If n=1 that is the 1st term, if n=2 that is the 2nd term, and so on. n means what number term it is.
  3. Now to find each term:
  • n=1: f(1)= 3(1)-1= 3-1= 2 The 1st term is 2
  • n=2: f(2)= 3(2)-1= 6-1= 5 The 2nd term is 5
  • n=3: f(3)= 3(3)-1= 9-1=8 The 3rd term is 8
  • n=4: f(4)= 4(3)-1= 12-1= 11 The 4th term is 11
  • n=5: f(5)= 5(3)-1= 15-1= 14 The 5th term is 14

So the first 5 terms are 2,5,8,11,14

There were about 1.22 million Hispanic-owned businesses in 2012 and 1.73 million in 2017.
fredd [130]

Answer:

  f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) An exponential growth (or decay) function can be written using the form ...

  f(t) = (initial value)·(ratio in period)^(t/period)

Here, we're given an initial value of 1.22, a growth ratio of 1.73/1.22 in a period of 5 years, so we can write the function as ...

  f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)

__

(b) In 2038-2012 = 26 years, the value of the function is ...

  f(26) = 1.22·(173/122)^(26/5) ≈ 7.50 . . . . million

The hourly wages of a sample of 130 system analysts are given below.
atroni [7]

Answer: b. 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A measure of relative variability is known as coefficient of variation. It is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean.

i.e. CV=\dfrac{\sigma}{\mu}

Given: mean =  \mu=90

Variance = \sigma^2 = 729

\sigma=\sqrt{729}=27

Now, CV=\dfrac{27}{90}=0.3

in percent , CV= 0.3\times100\%= 30\%

Hence, correct option is  b. 30%.
