Write the first five digits of 1/7 in base 9 expression

Compare 1/7 to consecutive multiples of 1/9. This is easily done by converting the fractions to a common denominator of LCM(7, 9) = 63:

1/9 = 7/63

2/9 = 14/63

while

1/7 = 9/63

Then 1/7 falls between 1/9 and 2/9, so 1/7 = 1/9 plus some remainder. In particular,

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/63.

We do the same sort of comparison with the remainder 2/63 and multiples of 1/9² = 1/81. We have LCM(63, 9²) = 567, and

1/9² = 7/567

2/9² = 14/567

3/9² = 21/567

while

2/63 = 18/567

Then

2/63 = 2/9² + 4/567

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 4/567

Compare 4/567 with multiples of 1/9³ = 1/729. LCM(567, 9³) = 5103, and

1/9³ = 7/5103

2/9³ = 14/5103

3/9³ = 21/5103

4/9³ = 28/5103

5/9³ = 35/5103

6/9³ = 42/5103

while

4/567 = 36/5103

so that

4/567 = 5/9³ + 1/5103

and so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/5103

Next, LCM(5103, 9⁴) = 45927, and

1/9⁴ = 7/45927

2/9⁴ = 14/45927

while

1/5103 = 9/45927

Then

1/5103 = 1/9⁴ + 2/45927

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/9⁴ + 2/45927

One last time: LCM(45927, 9⁵) = 413343, and

1/9⁵ = 7/413343

2/9⁵ = 14/413343

3/9⁵ = 21/413343

while

2/45927 = 18/413343

Then

2/45927 = 2/9⁵ + remainder

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/9⁴ + 2/9⁵ + remainder

Then the base 9 expansion of 1/7 is

0.12512..._9

Find the explicit formula for the n​th term of the following sequence where the first term is a1
VikaD [51]

The numerators in each term are consecutive integers ≥ 6. If n = 1 refers to the first term, then the numerator of the n-th term would be n + 5.

The denominators are consecutive odd integers ≥ 7. Odd numbers take the form 2k - 1, where k is any integer, and 2k - 1 = 7 when k = 4. But we want our sequence to start at n = 1, so we replace k here with n + 3. Then the denominator of the n-th term would be 2 (n + 3) - 1, or 2n + 5.

The odd-indexed terms are negative, while the even-indexed terms are positive. We can account for the sign of the term by multiplying by (-1)ⁿ.

Taking everything together, it follows that the n-th term in the sequence is

a_n = (-1)^n \dfrac{n + 5}{2n+5}

How do we write ordered pairs?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

find the x and y values

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordered pairs are often used to represent two variables. we write (x, y) The number which corresponds to the value of x is called the x-coordinate and the number which corresponds to the value of y is called the y-coordinate.

Hope this helps

A company is developing a new high-performance wax for cross country ski racing. In order to justify the price marketing wants,
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A)Yes they should market the wax, because it melts before 55 seconds

C) Null hypothesis: mean <55 vs. Alternative hypothesis :mean =55

D) the value is 51.33 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The selected samples for the champion are : 57.9, 62.9, 50.6, 50.5,48.2,47.2,50.2 and 43.1

The mean is ;

Sum =57.9 + 62.9 + 50.6 + 50.5+48.2+47.2+50.2+ 43.1 =410.6

Mean= 410.6/8 =51.33= mean

Assuming Significant =0.05 thus applying this level will give you 51.28-51.38

if specifically, the mean time to finish their standard test course should be less than 55 seconds for a former Olympic champion, then the null hypothesis is correct

Then;

Null hypothesis: mean <55

Alternative hypothesis :mean =55
