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.

Name the property shown by each statement.
vlada-n [284]
Most of these problems are the commutative property:

Addition
a + b = b + a

Multiplication
a * b = b * a

and the associative property:

Addition
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

Multiplication
(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)

There's also the Identity property:

Addition \ Subtraction:
a + 0 = a \ a - 0 = a

Multiplication \ Division:
a * 1 = a \ a / 1 = a

Two streams flow into a reservoir. Let X and Y be two continuous random variables representing the flow of each stream with join
zlopas [31]

Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y)  and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

Open the bracket

c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx  = 1

Integrate with respect to y

c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2}  +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2}  +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2}  +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2}  +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0  +0) \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2}  +\frac{27x}{3} )  \, dx = 1

Add fraction

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6})  \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6}  \, dx = 1

Rewrite;

c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6})  \, dx = 1

The \frac{1}{6} is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x )  \, dx = 1

\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x )  \, dx = 1

Integrate with respect to x

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81x^{2}}{2}   (0,3)  = 1

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2}    = 1

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2}    = 1

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{729}{2}    = 1

\frac{729c}{12}    = 1

Multiply both sides by \frac{12}{729}

c    =  \frac{12}{729}

c    =  0.0165 (Approximately)

Each day, I use 4 bags of milk for tea. In how much of a day wlll I use 1/2 of a bag of milk?
Slav-nsk [51]
1 day use 4 bags
? day use 1/2 bag

Cross multiply
(1•1/2)/4= 1/2•1/4= 1/8 of the day

In 1/8 of the day 1/2 of bag of milk will be used.
