Problem 1

<h3>Answer: Arithmetic, common difference = -4</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Pick any term of the sequence, and subtract off the previous term to find that,

  • term2 - term1 = -12 - (-8) = -12 + 8 = -4
  • term3 - term2 = -16 - (-12) = -16 + 12 = -4
  • term4 - term3 = -20 - (-16) = -20 + 16 = -4

Each time we get the same result, so that means we have an arithmetic sequence with common difference -4

This indicates that adding -4 to each term, or subtracting 4 from each term, will generate the next one.

Eg: term2 = term1 - 4 = -8-4 = -12.

==========================================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: Arithmetic, common difference = 5</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Similar to problem 1, this sequence is also arithmetic because we add on 5 to each term to get the next one

  • -6+5 = -1
  • -1+5 = 4
  • 4+5 = 9

Or you could subtract adjacent terms as done in problem 1, to find that the common difference is 5.

==========================================================

Problem 3

<h3>Answer: Not arithmetic</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Unlike the previous two problems, this sequence is not arithmetic.

We can see that

  • term2 - term1 = 12 - 3 = 9
  • term3 - term2 = 48 - 12 = 36

The gaps of 9 and 36 aren't the same. We need the same common difference between any adjacent terms to have an arithmetic sequence.

This sequence is instead geometric because

  • term2/term1 = 12/3 = 4
  • term3/term2 = 48/12 = 4
  • term4/term3 = 192/48 = 4

Each quotient is 4, showing the common ratio is 4. To find the next term, we multiply the current term by 4. So the next term after 192 would be 4*192 = 768, then 4*768 = 3072 is next, and so on.

Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

(A) The odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B) The odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.

A. What are the odds that the taxpayer will be audited?

B. What are the odds against such tax payer being audited?

Solution:

The proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were audited is:

P (A) = 0.015

Then the proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were not audited will be:

P (A') = 1 - P (A)

        = 1 - 0.015

        = 0.985

(A)

Compute the  odds that the taxpayer will be audited as follows:

\text{Odds of being Audited}=\frac{P(A)}{P(A')}

                                    =\frac{0.015}{0.985}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=0.015228\\\\\approx 0.015

Thus, the odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B)

Compute the odds against these taxpayer being audited as follows:

\text{Odds against Audited}=\frac{P(A')}{P(A)}

                                    =\frac{0.985}{0.015}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=65.666667\\\\\approx 65.67

Thus, the odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.

PLEASE SOLVE AND CHECK. SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION
Alex17521 [72]

<u>Solution</u><u>:</u>

\sqrt{4x + 13}  = x + 2

  • First square both sides.

=  > ( \sqrt{4x + 13} ) ^{2}  = (x + 2) ^{2}

  • Now, square root and square gets cancel out in the LHS. And in the RHS, apply the identity: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².

=  > 4x + 13 =  {(x)}^{2}  + 2 \times x \times 2 + (2) ^{2} \\  =  > 4x + 13 =  {x}^{2}   + 4x + 4

  • Now, transpose 4x and 4 to LHS.

=  > 4x - 4x + 13 - 4 =  {x}^{2}  \\

  • Now, do the addition and subtraction.

=  >  {x}^{2}  = 9 \\  =  >  x =  \sqrt{9}  \\  =  > x = ±3

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

<u>x </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>±</u><u> </u><u>3</u>

Hope you could understand.

compará y ordena de mayor a menor las siguientes cantidades 23.4 ,15/20 ,32.245,.056,4/10,50/100,8/9,.009,9/1000 y 54.45​
nignag [31]

Answer:

El orden de mayor a menor es:

54.45 ; 32.245 ; 23.4 ; 8/9 ; 15/20 ; 50/100 ; 4/10 ; 0.056 ; 9/1000

Step-by-step explanation:

El mayor número será el que tenga el mayor entero, o  si tienen el mismo entero será aquel que tenga el primer decimal mayor de izquierda a derecha,  o si tienen el mismo se observa el siguiente decimal y así sucesivamente.

Para ordenar y comparar las cantidades es conveniente en primer lugar pasar todos los números a decimales. Para convertir una fracción en un decimal, debes dividir el numerador entre el denominador.

Entonces, en este caso el valor decimal de cada cantidad (o una aproximación) es:

23.4

15/20= 0.75

32.245

0.056

4/10= 0.4

50/100= 0.5

8/9= 0.8888

0.009

9/1000= 0.009

54.45​

Entonces <u><em>el orden de mayor a menor es: </em></u>

<u><em> 54.45 ; 32.245 ; 23.4 ; 8/9 = 0.8888 ; 15/20 = 0.75 ; 50/100 = 0.5 ; 4/10 = 0.4 ; 0.056 ; 9/1000 = 0.009</em></u>

You have purchased 10 large pizzas in order to prepare for a party that will
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

s(x) = 10/x

Step-by-step explanation:

There are x number of people. When you divide an amount by x, you get

amount/x

Here, the amount is 10 since you bought 10 pizzas, so each person gets

10 divided by x.

s(x) = 10/x
