Answer:

$\sqrt{8} = 2 \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation we must first move 4 to the other side and change its sign

x^2 + 4 = 12

x^2 = 12 - 4

x^2 = 8

Then we find x:

x =

$x = \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2} = \sqrt{ {2}^{2} \times 2 } = 2 \sqrt{2}$

I need help writing the first 5 terms of the sequence!

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The first five terms of the sequence are 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.

Solution:

Given data:

$a_{1}=1$

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$

General term of the arithmetic sequence.

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+d$ , where d is the common difference.

d = 3

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$

Put n = 2 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{2}=a_1+3$

$a_{2}=1+3$

$a_2=4$

Put n = 3 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{3}=a_2+3$

$a_{3}=4+3$

$a_3=7$

Put n = 4 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{4}=a_3+3$

$a_{4}=7+3$

$a_4=10$

Put n = 5 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{5}=a_4+3$

$a_{5}=10+3$

$a_5=13$

The first five terms of the sequence are 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.

Suppose that the weights of passengers on a flight to Greenland on Frigid Aire Lines are normal with mean 175 pounds and standar

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 175, \sigma = 22$
