Answer:
See proof below
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use properties of inequalities during the proof.
Let
. then we have that
. Hence, it makes sense to define the positive number delta as
(the inequality guarantees that these numbers are positive).
Intuitively, delta is the shortest distance from y to the endpoints of the interval. Now, we claim that
, and if we prove this, we are done. To prove it, let
, then
. First,
then
hence
On the other hand,
then
hence
. Combining the inequalities, we have that
, therefore
as required.
Ok...we got 250 people
30% are French, 35% are Americans, 20% are Germans....thats 85%.
This means 15% are from other countries
3 not from other countries...
0.85 * 0.85 * 0.85 = 0.6
0.6(250) = 150 students <===
The first term of the sequence is already given to be 3. Use this value to obtain the second term.
a2 = 2(a1)^2 = 2(3)² = 18
Use the value of the second term to get the third term through the equation,
a3 = 2(a2)² = 2(18)² = 648
Thus, the answer to this item is letter B.
