Answer:

a_{n}=45-3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Arithmetic sequence is in the form

a_{n} =a_{1} +(n-1)d\\

d is the common difference, can be found by:

d=a_{n}-a_{n-1}=-3

Subtituting the a_{1} and d

You get:

a_{n}=42+(-3)(n-1)=45-3n

Method 2 (Mathematical induction):

Assume it is in form a_{n}=45-3n

Base step: a_{1} =45-3(1)=42

Inducive hypophesis: a_{n}=45-3n

GIven: a_{n+1} =a_{n}-3

a_{n+1}=45-3n-3=45-3(n+1)

Proved by mathematical induction

a_{n}=45-3n

Write the point-slope form of the equation for a line that passes through (6,-1) with a slope of 2​
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: y + 1 = 2(x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Slope Form is y-y₁=m(x-x₁), and all you have to so is substitute in the values that you were given. So, the slope is 2, so you substitute that value in for m. Then, you substitute 6 in for x₁ (because 6 is the x value of the coordinate you were given) and you substitute -1 for y₁ (and it becomes positive because two negatives make a positive)

Hope this was helpful! Please feel free to ask me any questions!

Suppose that prices of recently sold homes in one neighborhood have a mean of $265,000 with a standard deviation of $9300. Using
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Range  = (237100, 292900)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Chebyshevs Inequality:

P(|X - \mu | \le k \sigma )\ge 1  -\dfrac{1}{k^2}= 0.889

1  -\dfrac{1}{k^2}= 0.889

\dfrac{1}{k^2}= 1- 0.889

\dfrac{1}{k^2}=0.111

k = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{0.111}}

k \simeq 3

Thus, 88.9% of the population is within 3 standard deviation of the mean with the Range = μ  ±  kσ

where;

μ = 265000

σ = 9300

Range = 265000  ±  3(9300)

Range = 265000  ± 27900

Range =   (265000 - 27900, 265000 + 27900)

Range  = (237100, 292900)

The equation gives the speed at impact, V metres per second, of an object dropped from a height of h metres. SHOW WORK From what
devlian [24]

Answer:

h = 17.65 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation gives the speed at impact :

v=\sqrt{2gh}

h is height form where the object is dropped

Put v = 18.6 m/s in the above equation.

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(18.6)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=17.65\ m

So, the object must be dropped from a height of 17.65 m.
