Answer:

An explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Thus, option (A) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

-4, -8, -16, -32, ...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

\frac{-8}{-4}=2,\:\quad \frac{-16}{-8}=2,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-16}=2

As the ratio 'r' is the same.

so

r=2

as

a_1=-4

Hence, the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}

substituting the values r=2 and a_1=-4

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Therefore, an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Thus, option (A) is true.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>slope \:  =  \:  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}</h2><h3>=  \frac{ - 4 - (5)}{4 - (2)}</h3><h3>=  \frac{ - 9}{4 + 2}</h3><h3>=  \frac{ - 9}{6}</h3><h3>= \frac{3( - 3)}{3 - 2}</h3><h3>=  -  \frac{3}{2}</h3><h3>Hope it is helpful....</h3>

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a Poisson distribution with parameter μ = 20 (suggested in the article "Dynamic Ride Sharing: Theory and Practice"†).

a) P(X\leq 15) = 0.1565=0.157

b) P(X>26) =1-F(26)\\= 1-0.9221\\=0.0779=0.078

c) P(15\leq x\leq 26)\\=F(26)-F(14)\\=0.9221-0.1049\\=0.8172=0.817

d) 2 std dev = 2(20) =40

Hence 2 std deviation means

20-40, 20+40

i.e. (0,60)

P(0
