Answer:

25 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use these numbers to find the first term and the common difference. Then we can use those in the formula for the sum of terms. Finally, we can solve the inequality that makes the sum of terms greater than 1560.

First term and common difference

The general term is ...

an = a1+d(n -1)

Then the given terms are ...

a2 = a1 + d(2 -1) . . . second term

8 = a1 + d . . . . . . . . . [eq1]

a4 = a1 + d(4 -1) . . . fourth term

18 = a1 + 3d . . . . . . . [eq2]

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

[eq2] -[eq1] = (18) -(8) = (a1+3d) -(a1 +d)

10 = 2d . . . . . simplify

5 = d . . . . . . . divide by 2

Using [eq1], we can find a1:

8 = a1 + 5

3 = a1 . . . . . . subtract 5

The arithmetic progression has a first term of 3 and a common difference of 5.

Formula for the sum of terms

The generic formula for the sum of an arithmetic progression is ...

Sn = n·(a1 + (a1 +d(n -1)))/2

Sn = (n/2)(2a1 + d(n -1)) . . . . simplify a little bit

With our values for a1 and d, this becomes ...

Sn = (n/2)(2·3 +5(n -1))

Sn = (n/2)(5n +1)

Inequality for the sum

We want the sum of terms to be more than 1560, so we can write the inequality ...

(n/2)(5n +1) > 1560

In standard form, this would be ...

5n² +n -3120 > 0

The quadratic formula tells us the zeros are ...

n = (-1 ±√(1² -4(5)(-3210)))/(2·5) = (-1 ± √62401)/10

The positive zero is n ≈ 24.88.

That is, for n > 24.9, the sum will be greater than 1560.

The least number of terms for a sum greater than 1560 is 25.

Check

Check the formula for 4 terms.

3 + 8 + 13 + 18 = 42 = (4/2)(5·4 +1) = 2(21) = 42 . . . note 2nd & 4th terms

Check the sums for 24 and 25 terms.

(24/2)(5·24 +1) = 12(121) = 1452 . . . . . sum < 1560 for n = 24

(25/2)(5·25 +1) = 12.5(126) = 1575 . . . sum > 1560 for n = 25

URGENT!!

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

f[g(4)] = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given table:

$\begin{array}{| c | c | c | c | c | c |}\cline{1-6} x & -6 & -4 & 1 & 3 & 4\\\cline{1-6} f(x) & 4 & -1 & -6 & 1 & 3 \\\cline{1-6} g(x) & 1 & 4 & 3 & -4 & -6 \\\cline{1-6}\end{array}$

f[g(4)] is a composite function.

When calculating composite functions, always work from inside the brackets out.

Begin with g(4): g(4) is the value of function g(x) when x = 4.

From inspection of the given table, g(4) = -6

Therefore, f[g(4)] = f(-6)

f(-6) is the value of function f(x) when x = -6.

From inspection of the given table, f(-6) = 4

Therefore, f[g(4)] = 4

A population of voters contains 46% Republicans, 45% Democrats and the rest are Independents. Assume 50% of Republicans, 40% of

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The probability is 0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating a conditional probability;

Let the event that a voter is a Republican be R , the event that a voter is a Democrat be D and that a voter is an independent is I

Let the event that the election issue is favored be F

We have the following probabilities;

P(R) = 46% = 0.46

P(D) = 45% = 0.45

P(I) = 1-0.45-0.46 = 0.09

The conditional probability we want to calculate is;

P(D | F) which can be read as probability of event D given event F

From the question, we can identify the following conditional probabilities;

P(F|R) = 0.46 * 0.5 = 0.23 (0.5 is gotten from 50% = 50/100)

P(F | D) = 0.45 * 0.4 = 0.18

P( F | I) = 0.09 * 0.6 = 0.054

P(F) = 0.054 + 0.18 + 0.23 = 0.464

Mathematically; From Baye’s theorem

P( D | F) ={ P ( F | D) * P(D) }/ P(F)

P( D | F) = (0.18 * 0.45)/0.464 = 0.1745

What is the measure of angle X in degrees

elixir [45]

Answer:

If you are working with equilateral triangles, divide 180 by three to find the value of X. All of the angles of an equilateral triangle are equal. Solve for X in interesting lines by finding the value of one adjacent angle and subtracting it from 180 degrees.
