Evaluate S_5 for 600 + 300 + 150 + … and select the correct answer below. A. 1,162.5 B. 581.25 C. 37.5 D. 18,600

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  A.  1,162.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the next two terms and add them up:

  S5 = 600 +300 +150 +75 +37.5 = 1162.5 . . . . matches choice A

Answer 2
Answer: Choice A 1,162.5

================================================

Explanation:

{600, 300, 150, ...} is a geometric sequence starting at a = 600 and has common ratio r = 1/2 = 0.5, this means we cut each term in half to get the next term. We could do this to generate five terms and then add them up. Or we could use the formula below with n = 5

Sn = a*(1-r^n)/(1-r)

S5 = 600*(1-0.5^5)/(1-0.5)

S5 = 1,162.5

-----------

Check:

first five terms = {600, 300, 150, 75, 37.5}

S5 = sum of the first five terms

S5 = 600+300+150+75+37.5

S5 = 1,162.5

Because n = 5 is relatively small, we can quickly confirm the answer. With larger values of n, a spreadsheet is the better option.

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x2+10x+10=14

Step 1: Subtract 14 from both sides.

x2+10x+10−14=14−14

x2+10x−4=0

For this equation: a=1, b=10, c=-4

1x2+10x+−4=0

Choose 1 answer:

A) x < -3 or x > -3

B) x > -3

C) x <- 3

D) There are no solutions

E) All values of x are solutions

Answers

Answer:

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation -4x + 60 < 72.

-4x + 60 < 72

First using the order of operations, subtract 60 from both sides.

-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60

- 4x < 12

Next we want to divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable.

-4x/-4 < 12/-4

x > -3

When you divide a negative number, always make sure the change the sign.

Solve the next equation, 14x + 11 < -31, the same way we solved the last.

14x + 11 < -31

Subtract 11 from both sides.

14x + 11 - 11 < -31 -11

14x < -42

Divide 14 from both sides.

14x/14 < -42/14

x < -3

The equations have different signs.

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Levi buys a bag of cookies that contains 6 chocolate chip cookies, 9 peanut butter cookies, 8 sugar cookies and 8 oatmeal cookies. What is the probability that Levi reaches in the bag and randomly selects 2 peanut butter cookies from the bag

Answers

Answer:

12/155

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cookies:

6+9+8+8= 31

Probability of getting a peanut butter cookie at first attempt is 9 out of 31:

9/31

Probability of getting a peanut butter cookie at second attempt is 8 out of 30 as one already taken and the total number has changed as well:

8/30= 4/15

Probability of getting 2 peanut butter cookies is the product of each probability we got above:

Given the equations, which of the following represents z1 * z2? Using the same values in #6, which of the following represents z1/z2 in standard form?

The selected answers are incorrect.

Answers

Answer:

First Attachment : Option A,

Second Attachment : Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

z₁ = [tex]3(\cos ((\pi )/(6))+i\sin ((\pi )/(6)))[/tex] and z₂ = [tex]4(\cos ((\pi )/(3))+i\sin ((\pi )/(3)))[/tex]

Therefore if we want to determine z₁( z₂ ), we would have to find the trigonometric form of the following expression,

[tex]3(\cos ((\pi )/(6))+i\sin ((\pi )/(6)))*4(\cos ((\pi )/(3))+i\sin ((\pi )/(3)))[/tex]

( Combine expressions )

= [tex]12(\cos ( \pi /6+\pi / 3 ) + i\sin (\pi /6 +\pi / 3 )[/tex]

( Let's now add [tex]\pi / 6 + \pi / 3[/tex], further simplifying this expression )

[tex]\frac{\pi }{6}+\frac{\pi }{3} = \frac{\pi }{6}+\frac{\pi 2}{6} = \frac{\pi +\pi 2}{6} = \frac{3\pi }{6} = \pi / 2[/tex]

( Substitute )

[tex]12(\cos ( \pi /2 ) + i\sin ( \pi /2 ) )[/tex]

And therefore the correct solution would be option a, for the first attachment.

______________________________________________

For this second attachment, we would have to solve for the following expression,

[tex]\frac{3\left(\cos \left(\frac{\pi \:}{6}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi \:}{6}\right)\right)}{4\left(\cos \left(\frac{\pi \:}{3}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi \:}{3}\right)\right)}[/tex]

From which we know that cos(π/6) = √3 / 2, sin(π/6) = 1 / 2, cos(π/3) = 1 / 2, and sin(π/3) = √3 / 2. Therefore,

[tex]\:\frac{3\left(\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{6}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{6}\right)\right)}{4\left(\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right)\right)}:\quad \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8}-i\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8}-i\frac{3}{8} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8}-\frac{3}{8}i[/tex]

Our solution for the second attachment will be option c.

josue bought 7 pounds of pretzels at a local wholesaler for $16.80. his friend ricardo bought 5 pounds of pretzels at the supermarket for $12.75. Ricardo thinks he got the better deal because $12.75 is less than $16.80. Is Ricardo's reasoning correct? Explain why or why not.

Answers

(josue) 16.8/7 = $2.4 per lb
(ricardo) 12.75/5 = $2.55 per lb

ricardo is incorrect because if you solve for the price per pound ( price/amount ), josue paid $2.40 for each pound of pretzels while ricardo paid $2.55 per pound. ricardo ended up paying more.

What number when multiplied by itself is 11 greater than the preceding number when it is multiplied by itself

Answers

Answer: 5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2 - 11 = (X-1)^2

X^2 - 11 = X^2-2X+1

X^2 - X^2 + 2X = 11+1

2X = 12

X = 6

The preceding number is 5

(6)(6)=36 and (5)(5)=25

36-25=11

The number required is 6

Let the number required bee x

If the number is multiplied by itself, it becomes x²

If the result is 11 greater than the preceding number when it is multiplied by itself is expressed as:

x² - 11  = (x - 1)²

x² - 11 = x² - 2x + 1

2x = 11 + 1

2x = 12

x = 6

Hence the number required is 6

A multiple regression model involves 5 independent variables and a sample of 10 data points. If we want to test the validity of the model at the 5% significance level, the critical value is:

Answers

Answer:

The critical value is 6.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that there are 5 independent variables involved in a multiple regression model and the sample consist of 10 data points.

The critical value of F to test the significance of the model is:

[tex]\text{Critical Value}=F_{\alpha, (k, n-k-1)}[/tex]

Here,

k = number of independent variables

n = number of observations.

Then the critical value is:

[tex]\text{Critical Value}=F_{\alpha, (k, n-k-1)}[/tex]

                      [tex]=F_{\alpha, (5, 10-5-1)}\\=F_{0.05,(5, 4)}\\=6.2561\\\approx 6.26[/tex]

*Use a F-table.

Thus, the critical value is 6.26.

What are permutations?

The different arrangements which can be made out of a given number of objects by taking out some or all at a time are called permutations.

The number of different permutations of n objects with m₁ repeated items, m₂ repeated items,...,mₙ repeated items can be calculated as;

m!/(m₁!)(m₂!)...(mₙ!)

Here, the letter of the word 'MILLION' is a total of 7 letters.

So, the number of possible arrangements will be

(7!)/ (2!times 2!)

= 1260

Therefore the number of distinguishable ways the letters of the following word can be arranged 'MILLION' is 1260.
