Answer:

-1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Better to write this as

a(n)= -5(1/2)^(n-1)

Then the 3rd term is a(3) = -5(1/2)^(3 - 1), or a(3) = -5(1/2)^2 = -5/4 = -1.25

If we spin the spinner 10 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will land on yellow or purple?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Yellow = 5 times and I think you meant blue since there is no purple so blue = 3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

There is ten in all and half of the spaces are yellow, or 50%. Out of ten times, you should land on it about half, or 5. For blue, there are 3 spaces, or 30%. Out of ten times, you should lamd on it about three.

Determine whether or not the vector field is conservative. If it is conservative, find a function f such that F = ∇f. (If the ve

djyliett [7]

We're looking for $f(x,y,z)$ such that $\nabla f(x,y,z)=\vec F(x,y,z)$ , which requires

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=xyz^2$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=x^9yz^2$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=x^9y^2z$

Integrating both sides of the first PDE wrt $x$ gives

$f(x,y,z)=\dfrac12x^2yz^2+g(y,z)$

Differenting this wrt $y$ gives

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=x^9yz^2=\dfrac12x^2z^2+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}$

$\implies\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=\dfrac12x^2z^2(2x^7y-1)$

but we're assuming $g(y,z)$ is a function that doesn't depend on $x$ , which is contradicted by this result, and so there is no such $f$ and $\vec F$ is not conservative.

Which is an algebraic expression for 5 more than z? 5z Z+5 5z+5 5-z

svetoff [14.1K]

"5 more than z" means 5+z, or z+5.

what the other mean is as follows:

5z "5 times z"
Z+5
5z+5 " 5 more 5 times z"
5-z "z less than 5 "

A candle shop sells scented candles for $16 each and unscented candles for $10 each.The shop sells 28 candles today and makes $4

Aliun [14]

Lets call s the number of scented candles sold, and u the number of unscented candles sold and write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
16s + 10u = 400
s + u = 28
that is, the first equation synthesize the fact that the amount of unscented candles times its quantity plus the amount of scented candles times its quantity equals $400
and the second equation synthesize the fact that the number of scented and unscented candles add up to 28
Now you just need to solve the system of two linear equations with two unknowns to get the specific value of the scented and unscented candles.
