A n =−1+3(n−1) an=−1+3(n−1) what is the 55 term in the sequence

1 answer:

8 0

ANSWER

$a_{55}=161$

EXPLANATION

The general term for the sequence is

$a_n=-1+3(n-1)$

To find the 55th term, we have to substitute
$n = 55$
in to the general term and simplify.

This implies that,

$a_{55}=-1+3(55-1)$

$a_{55}=-1+3(54)$

$a_{55}=-1+162$

$a_{55}=161$

Therefore the 55th term is 161.

Olivia are two times as much salad as Reagan. If Reagan ate R salad, which equation can be used to find the amount of salad Oliv

mina [271]

<h3>Answer: B) 2r = v</h3>

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

Explanation:

r = amount of salad Reagan ate

v = amount of salad Olivia ate

"Olivia ate twice as much as Reagan", meaning

amount Olivia ate = 2*(amount Reagan ate)

v = 2*r

v = 2r

2r = v

A monopolist faces the following demand curve, marginal revenue curve, total cost curve and marginal cost curve for its product:

Ad libitum [116K]

The total profit that is earned is 4512.5

<h3>How to solve for the profit that is earned</h3>

100 - q = 0

q = 100

Maximization is where q = 0

MR = mc

100 - q = 5

such that q = 95

Price would be 100 -0.5(95)

= 100 - 47.5

= 52.5

Profit earned would be

= 95*52.5 -5*95

= 4512.5

Given two points P(sinθ+2, tanθ-2) and Q(4sin²θ+4sinθcosθ+2acosθ, 3sinθ-2cosθ+a). Find constant "a" and the corresponding value

vodomira [7]

Answer:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle \displaystyle θ= {60}^{ \circ} , {300}^{ \circ}$

$\rm \displaystyle a = - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} - 1, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given two coincident points

$\displaystyle P( \sin(θ)+2, \tan(θ)-2) \: \text{and } \\ \displaystyle Q(4 \sin ^{2} (θ)+4 \sin(θ) \cos(θ)+2a \cos(θ), 3 \sin(θ)-2 \cos(θ)+a)$

since they are coincident points

$\rm \displaystyle P( \sin(θ)+2, \tan(θ)-2) = \displaystyle Q(4 \sin ^{2} (θ)+4 \sin(θ )\cos(θ)+2a \cos(θ), 3 \sin(θ)-2 \cos(θ)+a)$

By order pair we obtain:

$\begin{cases} \rm\displaystyle \displaystyle 4 \sin ^{2} (θ)+4 \sin(θ) \cos(θ)+2a \cos(θ) = \sin( \theta) + 2 \\ \\ \displaystyle 3 \sin( \theta) - 2 \cos( \theta) + a = \tan( \theta) - 2\end{cases}$

now we end up with a simultaneous equation as we have two variables

to figure out the simultaneous equation we can consider using substitution method

to do so, make a the subject of the equation.therefore from the second equation we acquire:

$\begin{cases} \rm\displaystyle \displaystyle 4 \sin ^{2} (θ)+4 \sinθ \cos(θ)+2a \cos(θ )= \sin( \theta) + 2 \\ \\ \boxed{\displaystyle a = \tan( \theta) - 2 - 3 \sin( \theta) + 2 \cos( \theta) } \end{cases}$

now substitute:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle 4 \sin ^{2} (θ)+4 \sin(θ) \cos(θ)+2 \cos(θ) \{\tan( \theta) - 2 - 3 \sin( \theta) + 2 \cos( \theta) \}= \sin( \theta) + 2$

distribute:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle 4 \sin ^{2}( θ)+4 \sin(θ) \cos(θ)+2 \sin(θ ) - 4\cos( \theta) - 6 \sin( \theta) \cos( \theta) + 4 \cos ^{2} ( \theta) = \sin( \theta) + 2$

collect like terms:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle 4 \sin ^{2}( θ) - 2\sin(θ) \cos(θ)+2 \sin(θ ) - 4\cos( \theta) + 4 \cos ^{2} ( \theta) = \sin( \theta) + 2$

rearrange:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle 4 \sin ^{2}( θ) + 4 \cos ^{2} ( \theta) - 2\sin(θ) \cos(θ)+2 \sin(θ ) - 4\cos( \theta) + = \sin( \theta) + 2$

by Pythagorean theorem we obtain:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle 4 - 2\sin(θ) \cos(θ)+2 \sin(θ ) - 4\cos( \theta) = \sin( \theta) + 2$

cancel 4 from both sides:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle - 2\sin(θ) \cos(θ)+2 \sin(θ ) - 4\cos( \theta) = \sin( \theta) - 2$

move right hand side expression to left hand side and change its sign:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle - 2\sin(θ) \cos(θ)+\sin(θ ) - 4\cos( \theta) + 2 = 0$

factor out sin:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle \sin (θ) (- 2 \cos(θ)+1) - 4\cos( \theta) + 2 = 0$

factor out 2:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle \sin (θ) (- 2 \cos(θ)+1) + 2(- 2\cos( \theta) + 1 ) = 0$

group:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle ( \sin (θ) + 2)(- 2 \cos(θ)+1) = 0$

factor out -1:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle - ( \sin (θ) + 2)(2 \cos(θ) - 1) = 0$

divide both sides by -1:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle ( \sin (θ) + 2)(2 \cos(θ) - 1) = 0$

by Zero product property we acquire:

$\begin{cases}\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle \sin (θ) + 2 = 0 \\ \displaystyle2 \cos(θ) - 1= 0 \end{cases}$

cancel 2 from the first equation and add 1 to the second equation since -1≤sinθ≤1 the first equation is false for any value of theta

$\begin{cases}\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle \sin (θ) \neq - 2 \\ \displaystyle2 \cos(θ) = 1\end{cases}$

divide both sides by 2:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle \displaystyle \cos(θ) = \frac{1}{2}$

by unit circle we get:

$\rm\displaystyle \displaystyle \displaystyle θ= {60}^{ \circ} , {300}^{ \circ}$

so when θ is 60° a is:

$\rm \displaystyle a = \tan( {60}^{ \circ} ) - 2 - 3 \sin( {60}^{ \circ} ) + 2 \cos( {60}^{ \circ} )$

recall unit circle:

$\rm \displaystyle a = \sqrt{3} - 2 - \frac{ 3\sqrt{3} }{2} + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}$

simplify which yields:

$\rm \displaystyle a = - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} - 1$

when θ is 300°

$\rm \displaystyle a = \tan( {300}^{ \circ} ) - 2 - 3 \sin( {300}^{ \circ} ) + 2 \cos( {300}^{ \circ} )$

remember unit circle:

$\rm \displaystyle a = - \sqrt{3} - 2 + \frac{3\sqrt{ 3} }{2} + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}$

simplify which yields:

$\rm \displaystyle a = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} - 1$

and we are done!
