Answer: 912
===================================
Work Shown:
The starting term is a1 = 3. The common difference is d = 5 (since we add 5 to each term to get the next term). The nth term formula is
an = a1+d(n-1)
an = 3+5(n-1)
an = 3+5n-5
an = 5n-2
Plug n = 19 into the formula to find the 19th term
an = 5n-2
a19 = 5*19-2
a19 = 95-2
a19 = 93
Add the first and nineteenth terms (a1 = 3 and a19 = 93) to get a1+a19 = 3+93 = 96
Multiply this by n/2 = 19/2 = 9.5 to get the final answer
96*9.5 = 912
I used the formula
Sn = (n/2)*(a1 + an)
where you add the first term (a1) to the nth term (an), then multiply by n/2
-----------------
As a check, here are the 19 terms listed out and added up. We get 912 like expected.
3+8+13+18 +23+28+33+38 +43+48+53+58 +63+68+73+78 +83+88+93 = 912
There are 19 values being added up in that equation above. I used spaces to help group the values (groups of four; except the last group which is 3 values) so it's a bit more readable.
You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
Answer:
21+10.5 which would equal 31.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The required probability is 0.008.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Probability of bachelor's degree = 0.45
Probability of working in nursing = 0.85
Probability of both = 0.4
So, Probability of getting a graduate is currently working in nursing, given that they earned a bachelor's degree would be :
Hence, the required probability is 0.008.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 5y = 3 ................ (i)
kx + 15y = 9................(ii)
Dividing eqn (ii) by 3, we get,
k/3 x + 5y = 3.............(iii)
Subtracting eqn (iii) by eqn (i), we get,
-4x - k/3 x = 0
or, -(4 - k/3 )x = 0
or, 4 - k/3 = 0/x
or, 4 - k/3 = 0
or, 4 = k/3
or, k = 4*3
:. k = 12 (Ans)
