Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is no single number we can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next one, this is not arithmetic. That means it's geometric, if it's a sequence at all. To get from 2 to 6 we multiply by 3. To get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3. To get from 18 to 54 we multiply by 3. Therefore, this is in fact geometric and the common ratio is 3. The standard form of a geometric explicit formula is
where n is the position of a number in the sequence, a1 is the first number in the sequence, and r is the common ratio. We have then
a1 = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the explicit formula is
and you can use this to find the value of any number in the sequence. Very handy; much more so than the recursive formula, which requires that all the numbers in a sequence be found in order in order to get to a desired value.
Answer: D, All of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability is 0.9671.
The z-score for this is given by
z = (x - μ)/(σ/√n)
z = (38000-37500)/(1561/(√33)) = 1.84.
Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that the area under the curve to the left of, less than, this is 0.9671.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose you drive a car 392 miles on one tank of gas. The tank holds 14 gallons of gas. This means that
1 gallon of gas would be used to drive 392/14 = 28 miles
a) The number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas used.
Let x =number of gallons of gas you use.
Let y = the number of miles travelled.
Since y varies directly with x, we will introduce a constant of proportionality, k. Therefore,
y = kx
If 28 miles will require 1 gallon of gas, it means
28 = 1×k
k = 28
So y = 28x
b) we want to determine how far you can drive with 3.7 gallons of gas.
x = 3.7
y = 28x = 28×3.7
y = 103.6 miles
For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.
Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x
for the fulcrum to balance:
60x = 50(12 - x)
60x = 600 - 50x
110x = 600
x = 5.45
Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55
d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55
