Kruka [31]2 years ago

8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_1=8\\a_2=48\\a_3=288\\\\288:48=6\\48:8=6\\\\ \dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}= 6$

Therefore it's geometric sequence with common ratio of 6

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\\\\a_1=8\\r=6\\\\a_n=8\cdot6^{n-1}$

A vending machine operator has determined that the number of candy bars sold per week by a certain machine is a random variable

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y represent the profit per day, and x represent the number of bar sold per day. Hence:

Y = 0.25x - 2

a) The mean is given as:

$\mu_y=E(Y)=E(0.25X-2) = 0.25E(X)-2\\\\But\ E(X)=mean\ of\ machine=125. Hence:\\\\E(Y)=0.25(125)-2=29.25\\\\E(Y)=\$29.25$

b) The standard deviation of y is:

$\sigma_y=var(0.25X-2)\\\\\sigma_y=0.25\sigma(X)\\\\but\ \sigma_X=7,hence:\\\\\sigma_y=0.25(7)=1.75\\\\\sigma_y=\$1.75$

Work=
1. Multiply each side by 1/5 (aka divide them by 5). This leaves 3, 4 and 9.

2. Add all the sides. 3 + 4 + 9 = 16. That is the perimeter

Q # 1 Graph the function Y = |X + 2| - 3

Svetllana [295]

First of all we know the Absolute Value Function that is:

$\left | x \right |= \left \{ {{x \ \ \ \ x \geq 0} \atop {-x \ \ \ \ x\ \textless \ 0}} \right.$

This is called the Parent Function of the Absolute Value Function.

From the equation:

$y=\left | x+2 \right |-3$

The term:

$\left | x+2 \right |$

means that the the Parent Function is shifted two units to the left.

On the other hand, the term:

$-3$

means that the function $\left | x+2 \right |$ is shifted three units downward. So the result is the graph shown below
