Answer:

B and C work. A and D do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of those questions that you have to go through each answer to see what the results are. You don't have to go far to eliminate A and D so let's do that first.

A]

5n + 6

Let n = 1

5(1) + 6

5 + 6= 11

However there is trouble beginning with n = 2

5*2 + 6

10 + 6

16     All you need is one wrong answer and the choice is toast. So A won't work.

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

Try D

6(n - 1)+ 5

n=0

6*(-1) + 5

-6 + 5

- 1

And D has been eliminated with just 1 attempt. n= 2 or n = 1 would be even worse.  D is not one of the answers.

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

B

Let n = 1

6(1) + 5

6 + 5

11 The first term works.

n = 2

6*(2) + 5

12 + 5

17 and n = 2 works as well. Just in case it is hard to believe, let's try n = 3 because so far, everything is fine.

n = 3

6*(3) + 5

18 + 5

23 And this also works. I'll let you deal with n = 4

========

C

n = 0

6(0 + 1) + 5

6*1 + 5

6 + 5

11

n = 1

6(1 + 1) + 5

6*2 + 5

12 + 5

17 which works.

So C is an answer.

The weights of certain machine components are normally distributed with a mean of 8.04 g and a standard deviation of 0.08 g. Fin
NISA [10]

Answer:

The bottom 3 is separated by weight 7.8896 g and the top 3 is separated by weight 8.1904 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean, \mu=8.04 g

Standard deviation, \sigma=0.08g

We have to find the two weights that separate the top 3% and the bottom 3%.

Let x be the weight of  machine components

P(Xx_2)=0.03

P(X

=0.03

From z- table we get

P(Z1.88)=0.03

Therefore, we get

\frac{x_1-8.04}{0.08}=-1.88

x_1-8.04=-1.88\times 0.08

x_1=-1.88\times 0.08+8.04

x_1=7.8896

\frac{x_2-8.04}{0.08}=1.88

x_2=1.88\times 0.08+8.04

x_2=8.1904

Hence, the bottom 3 is separated by weight 7.8896 g and the top 3 is separated by weight 8.1904 g.

Could someone explain how to do this, I have no idea how...
alexira [117]

Answer:

2a²

Step-by-step explanation:

Pair 'like' terms with 'like' terms, ie numbers go with numbers, and 'a's go with 'a's.

Lets deal with the top of the fraction first:

4ax3a³

Rearrange it so you have numbers beside numbers and 'a's beside 'a's:

(4x3)x(axa³)

12x(a⁴) <em>(because nᵃxnᵇ=nᵃ⁺ᵇ)</em>

12a⁴

Now, instead of (4ax3a³)/6a², we have 12a⁴/6a²

First divide the numbers: 12/6 =2

Now divide the 'a' parts: a⁴/a²=a² <em>(because nᵃ/nᵇ=nᵃ⁻ᵇ)</em>

Now we have 2a²
