Jacob has golf scores of 120, 112, 130, 128, and 124. he wants to have a mean, or average, golf score of 118. what score does he

need in his next golf game to achieve this mean score?

Average golf score = summation of the golf scores/ number of items or golf scores
where:
total score = 120+112+130+128+124+x
number of items = 6
average score = 118
substituting the requirements:
x = 94

Jacob will need a golf score of 94 to achieve the average of 118

Evaluate for x = 3 and y = 4: x^-2y^2/x^0y^3 1/36 4/9 1024/9

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluating the numerator and denominator before evaluating

Using the rule of exponents

$a^{-n}$ ⇔ $\frac{1}{a^{n} }$ , $a^{0}$ = 1

Thus

$x^{-2}$ y² ← substitute values into expression

= $3^{-2}$ × 4² = $\frac{1}{9}$ × 16 = $\frac{16}{9}$

and denominator

$x^{0}$ $y^{3}$ = 1 × 4³ = 1 × 64 = 64

Now dividing

$\frac{16}{9}$ ÷ 64

= $\frac{16}{9}$ × $\frac{1}{64}$ ( cancel 16 and 64 )

= $\frac{1}{9(4)}$ = $\frac{1}{36}$

Which formula can be used to find the nth term of a geometric sequence where the fifth term is 1/6 and the common ratio is 1/4?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$a_n = 16(\frac{1}{4})^{n - 1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fifth term of a geometric sequence = $\frac{1}{16}$

Common ratio (r) = ¼

Required:

Formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence

Solution:

Step 1: find the first term of the sequence

Formula for nth term of a geometric sequence = $ar^{n - 1}$ , where:

a = first term

r = common ratio = ¼

Thus, we are given the 5th term to be ¹/16, so n here = 5.

Input all these values into the formula to find a, the first term.

$\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{4}^{5 - 1}$

$\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{4}^{4}$

$\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{256}$

$\frac{1}{16} = \frac{a}{256}$

Cross multiply

$1*256 = a*16$

Divide both sides by 16

$\frac{256}{16} = \frac{16a}{16}$

$16 = a$

$a = 16$

Step 2: input the value of a and r to find the nth term formula of the sequence

nth term = $ar^{n - 1}$

nth term = $16*\frac{1}{4}^{n - 1}$

$a_n = 16(\frac{1}{4})^{n - 1}$

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. 1/2 ( 10 x + 20 y + 10 z )=

Sergio [31]

Answer:

5x+10y+5z

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property means you multiply each component by the value you are distributing in this case: (1/2)(10x) + (1/2)(20y) + (1/2)(10z) which will yield 5x+10y+5z
