Answer:

tn = -1350 + 468n

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the difference.

1458 - 54 / 6 - 3

= 468

Now we need to find the first term.

t3 = t1 + (n - 1) (d)

54 = t1 + (3 - 1)(468)

54 = t1 + (2)(468)

54 = t1 + 936

-882 = t1

The rule is:

tn = -882 + (n-1) (468)

tn = -882 + 468n - 468

tn = -1350 + 468n

g Suppose that a die is rolled twice. What are the possible values that thefollowing random variables can take on:(a) the maximu

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

(a) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(b) B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(d) D = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume each roll can result in the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

(a) If both rolls result in a 1, the maximum value is 1. If either roll results in a 6, the maximum value is 6; all integers between 1 and 6 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(b) If either roll results in a 1, the minimum value is 1. If both rolls result in a 6, the minimum value is 6; all integers between 1 and 6 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(c) If both rolls result in a 1, the sum is 2. If both rolls results in a 6, the sum is 12; all integers between 2 and 12 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

(d) If the first roll results in a 1 and the second results in a 6, the result is -5. On the other hand, if the first roll results in a 6 and the second results in a 1, the result is 5; all integers between -5 and 5 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

D = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

the volume v of a right circular cylinder of radius r and heigh h is V = pi r^2 h 1. how is dV/dt related to dr/dt if h is const

laiz [17]

In general, the volume

$V=\pi r^2h$

has total derivative

$\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=\pi\left(2rh\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}+r^2\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}\right)$

If the cylinder's height is kept constant, then $\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}=0$ and we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=2\pi rh\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{\mathrm dt}$

which is to say, $\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}$ and $\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}$ are directly proportional by a factor equivalent to the lateral surface area of the cylinder ( $2\pi r h$ ).

Meanwhile, if the cylinder's radius is kept fixed, then

$\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=\pi r^2\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}$

since $\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}=0$ . In other words, $\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}$ and $\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}$ are directly proportional by a factor of the surface area of the cylinder's circular face ( $\pi r^2$ ).

Finally, the general case ( $r$ and $h$ not constant), you can see from the total derivative that $\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}$ is affected by both $\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}$ and $\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}$ in combination.
