Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 15

a₂/a₁ = 45/15 = 3

a₃/a₂ = 135/45 = 3

...

It is a geometric sequence with a common ratio r=3.

Sum of first 12 terms = a₁·(1-r¹²)/(1-r)

= 15·(1-3¹²)/(1-3)

= 15·(-531,441)/(-2)

= 3,985,800

Mariana [72]

Answer:

c) at most 11.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the data that is 97 ± 12, with 97 being the mean and 12 the standard deviation.

Now, the percentage of people who reached them for less than 73 dollars, if it were a normal distribution:

z = (73 - 97) / 12 = - 2

so it would be, a probability of 0.0228 or 0.228%.

But we don't know what distribution it has, but we can get an idea.

A and D discarded, as they are very high values, and 73 is well below the average.

B) is still a very high value.

Therefore the answer is C, at most 11.1%

An artist needs to purchase jars of paint. The table shows Which quantity container is the better buy?
frutty [35]

Answer:8-oz jar

First, we have to find out what is the unit rate of the 2-oz jar. $1.50÷2 is $.75.

Second, we have to find the unit rate of the 4-oz jar. $2.92÷4=$73.

Third, we have to find the unit rate of the 8-oz jar. $5.68=$.71.

Fourth, we have to find the unit rate of the 16-oz jar. The division for this one may be tricky. From dividing $11.62 by 16, is stopped at the 3rd number I got from dividing. I got $.726. This is not a value of cents and the value can't go in the thousandths place. So, I rounded .726. I got $.73. So $11.62÷16=$.73.

Lastly, you have to compare the amounts.

The lowest amount or better buy, is $.71 or 8-oz jar.

m=0 (m is the slope)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=6-6/1-5

m=0/4

m=0

*Note: If the zero is in the denominator (on the bottom) the slope is undefined (UND).
