Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Neither,b) t(n) = (n - 4)²

--------------------------------------

We observe that, the sequence is symmetric and all the terms are perfect squares:

16, 9, 4, 1, 0, 1, 4 ⇒ 4², 3², 2², 1², 0², 1², 2²

This is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

The zero term is 16 and the fourth term is 0 so the nth term would be:

t(n) = (n - 4)²
Answer 2

Answer:

a)  Neither

b)  t(n) = n² - 8n + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

An Arithmetic Sequence has a constant difference between each consecutive term.

A Geometric Sequence has a constant ratio (multiplier) between each consecutive term.

Part (a)

As the sequence has neither a constant difference or a constant ratio, the sequence is neither arithmetic or geometric.

Part (b)

Work out the differences between the terms until the differences are the same:

First differences

[tex]16 \underset{-7}{\longrightarrow} 9 \underset{-5}{\longrightarrow} 4 \underset{-3}{\longrightarrow} 1 \underset{-1}{\longrightarrow} 0 \underset{+1}{\longrightarrow} 1 \underset{+3}{\longrightarrow} 4[/tex]

Second differences

[tex]-7 \underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} -5 \underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} -3\underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} -1\underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} 1\underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} 3[/tex]

As the second differences are the same, the sequence is quadratic and will contain an n² term.  The coefficient of n² is always half of the second difference.  Therefore, the coefficient of n² = 1.

Write out the numbers in the sequence n² and determine the operation that takes n² to the given sequence:

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-8} n&0& 1& 2&3 &4 &5 &6 \\\cline{1-8}n^2 &0& 1& 4& 9&16 & 25&36 \\\cline{1-8} \sf operation&+16& +8&+0&-8&-16&-24&-32\\\cline{1-8} \sf sequence & 16&9 &4 & 1& 0& 1& 4\\\cline{1-8}\end{array}[/tex]

As the operation is not constant, work out the differences between the operations:

[tex]16\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} 8\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} 0\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} -8\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} -16\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} -24\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} -32[/tex]

As the differences are the same, the second operation in the sequence is -8n.  Write out the numbers in the sequence with both operations and and determine the operation that takes (n² - 8n) to the given sequence:

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-8} n&0& 1& 2&3 &4 &5 &6 \\\cline{1-8}n^2 -8n&-0&-7&-12&-15&-16&-15&-12\\\cline{1-8}\sf operation &+16&+16&+16&+16&+16&+16&+16\\\cline{1-8} \sf sequence & 16&9 &4 & 1& 0& 1& 4\\\cline{1-8}\end{array}[/tex]

As the operation is constant, the final operation in the sequence is +16.

So the equation for the nth term is:

[tex]\implies t(n)=n^2-8n+16[/tex]

Imagine you are a financial analyst at an investment bank. According to your research of publicly-traded companies, 60% of the companies that increased their share price by more than 5% in the last three years replaced their CEOs during the period. At the same time, only 35% of the companies that did not increase their share price by more than 5% in the same period replaced their CEOs. Knowing that the probability that the stock prices grow by more than 5% is 4%, find the probability that the shares of a company that fires its CEO will increase by more than 5%.

Answers

Answer:

0.0667 = 6.67% probability that the shares of a company that fires its CEO will increase by more than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem:

Event A: Company fires the CEO

Event B: Shares increase by more than 5%.

Probability of a company firing it's CEO:

35% of 100 - 4 = 96%(shares did not increase by more than 5%).

60% of 4%(shared did increase by more than 5%).

So

[tex]P(A) = 0.35*0.96 + 0.6*0.04 = 0.36[/tex]

Intersection of events A and B:

Fires the CEO and shared increased by more than 5%, is 60% of 4%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.6*0.04 = 0.024[/tex]

Probability that the shares of a company that fires its CEO will increase by more than 5%.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.024}{0.36} = 0.0667[/tex]

0.0667 = 6.67% probability that the shares of a company that fires its CEO will increase by more than 5%.

5(y+25)=-13 i need help explaining

Answers

Answer:

y=-138/5=-27 3/5 = -27.6

Step-by-step explanation:

5(y+25)=−13

Divide both sides by 5.

y+25=-13/5

Subtract 25 from both sides.

y=-13/5−25

Convert 25 to fraction 125/5

y=-13/5-125/5

Since -13/5 and 125/5 have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

y=-13 - 125/5

Subtract 125 from −13 to get −138.

y=-138/5

If (y + 1) varies directly as square root of x and y =14 when x = 27, find the value of y when
x = 64 without finding the variation constant.​

Answers

Answer:

22.1 or 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Y + 1 varies√x

Y + 1 = K√x ( k is costant)

so we solve for K

given: 14 + 1 = K√27

15 = K√27

divide both sides by √27

15/√27 = K

to find the value of y

y + 1 = 15/√27 (8) : substitute K for 15/√27

Y + 1 = 120/√27

i.e Y = 120/√27 - 1

Y = 23.1 - 1

Y = 22.1 or 22

38.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

You are basically looking at a triangle with a 90° angle (check picture).

Since we are looking for the ramp's angle and are given the length of the opposite and the hypothenuse, we have to solve the following equation:

[tex]sin (\alpha) = opposite / hypothenuse= 5 ft/8ft[/tex]

which is equivalent to

[tex]\alpha = sin^{-1}(5/8)\approx 38.7\deg[/tex]

x=47 because m1+m2=90°
The answer is C.
If measure of 1 + measure of 2 = 90
And measure of 1 = x
And measure of 2 = x - 4
You would have the equation of
X + X - 4 = 90
So then you combine like terms
2x - 4 = 90
Then you add 4 on both sides
2x - 4 = 90
+ 4 + 4
2x = 94
Then you divide by 2 to get x alone
And x = 47
