Write down in terms of n, an expression for the nth term
of the following sequences
a) 25 20 15 10 5​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution,

First term (a) = 25

Common difference (d) = Second term - first term = 20 - 25 = -5

Now,

nth term = a + (n - 1)d = 25 + (n - 1) (-5) = 25 - 5n +5 = 30 - 5n

The nth term of the series is 30 - 5n

Answer 2

Answer:

The nth term will be:

[tex]a_n=-5n+30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

25, 20, 15, 10, 5​

An Arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by

[tex]a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d[/tex]

Computing the common difference of all the adjacent terms

[tex]25,\:20,\:15,\:10,\:5[/tex]

[tex]20-25=-5,\:\quad \:15-20=-5,\:\quad \:10-15=-5,\:\quad \:5-10=-5[/tex]

As the difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

[tex]d=-5[/tex]

Also, the first term is:

[tex]a_1=25[/tex]

Hence, the nth term will be:

[tex]a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d[/tex]

[tex]a_n=-5\left(n-1\right)+25[/tex]        ∵ [tex]a_1=25[/tex], [tex]d=-5[/tex]

[tex]a_n=-5n+30[/tex]

Therefore, the nth term will be:

[tex]a_n=-5n+30[/tex]

(i) his fixed salary for the year

(ii) the amount he recieved in commision for the year

(iii) his TOTAL income for the year​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) 12 months × fixed salary

= 12 × 3140

= 37680 $

(ii) commission = total × 2%

= 720000 × 0.02

= 14400 $

(iii) fixed salary + commission

= 37680 + 14400 = 52080 $

Answers

Answer:

7-cup carton of pineapple juice for $3.01

Step-by-step explanation:

2-quart carton of pineapple juice for $2.00

2.00 : 2 = 1.00

check your work:  1.00 x 2 = 2.00

so for the first offer you will be paying $1.00 per quart

7-cup carton of pineapple juice for $3.01

1 cups = 0.25 quarts

7 cups = 1.75 quarts

3.01 : 7 = 0.43

check your work: 0.43 x 7 = 3.01

for the second offer you will be paying $0.43 per quart of juice. 7-cup carton of pineapple juice for $3.01 is a better buy because you will be paying less than half of the price for each quart  than the first offer.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDASEquality Properties

Algebra I

Solving systems of equations using substitution/eliminationSolving systems of equation by graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

-x + 2y = 21

5x + 6y = 23

Step 2: Rewrite systems

-x + 2y = 21

Subtract 2y on both sides:                    -x = 21 - 2yDivide -1 on both sides:                         x = -21 + 2yRearrange:                                              x = 2y - 21

Step 3: Redefine systems

x = 2y - 21

5x + 6y = 23

Step 4: Solve for y

Substitution

Substitute in x:                         5(2y - 21) + 6y = 23Distribute 5:                             10y - 105 + 6y = 23Combine like terms:                16y - 105 = 23Add 105 on both sides:           16y = 128Divide 16 on both sides:          y = 8

Step 5: Solve for x

Define original equation:                    5x + 6y = 23Substitute in y:                                     5x + 6(8) = 23Multiply:                                                5x + 48 = 23Subtract 48 on both sides:                 5x = -25Divide 5 on both sides:                       x = -5

Step 6: Graph systems

Check the solution set.

Angle A measures 4x + 40 degrees and angle B measures x – 10
degrees. If angles A and B are complementary, what is the
measure of angle B?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, angles A and B are complementary.

Therefore,

[tex] m\angle A + m\angle B = 90\degree \\\\

(4x +40)\degree + (x-10)\degree = 90\degree \\\\

(4x+x +40-10)\degree = 90\degree \\\\

(5x +30)\degree = 90\degree \\\\

5x + 30= 90\\\\

5x = 90 - 30\\\\

5x = 60\\\\

x = \frac{60}{5}\\\\

x = 12\\\\

m\angle B = (x-10)\degree \\\\

m\angle B = (112-10)\degree \\\\

m\angle B = 2\degree \\\\[/tex]

A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. He wants to construct the 95% confidence interval with a maximum error of 0.09 reproductions per hour. Assuming that the mean is 6.6 reproductions and the variance is known to be 4.84, what is the minimum sample size required for the estimate? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answers

Answer:

The minimum sample size is [tex]n = 2295 [/tex]    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.09[/tex]

    The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 6.6[/tex]

     The variance is  [tex]\sigma^2 = 4.84[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}[/tex]

=> [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{4.84 }[/tex]

=> [tex]\sigma = 2.2[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

   [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ] ^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]n = [\frac{1.96  *  2.2 }{0.09} ] ^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]n = 2295 [/tex]

Answer: c. Algorithms are the steps that would be converted into a program that a computer could use to process information, changing it from input to an output.
Explanation: algorithms are steps that is used for data processing. It’s better to think of this as a flow chart. The input (usually from the user) goes in, the algorithm processes the information (this is where the input changes to an output), and spits out the output. This is the best answer out of all the options.

A biologist estimates that 40% of the deer in a region carry a certain type of tick. For a sample of 300 deer selected at random, what is the probability that fewer than 124 deer have this tick?

Answers

Answer:

0.703

Step-by-step explanation:

By inspection this is a binomial probability distribution problem.

We are given;

Probability that the deer in a region carries a certain type of tick; p = 40% = 0.4

Sample size; n = 300

Now we want to find the probability that fewer than 124 deer have this tick.

Thus is at P(x ≤ 124)

Formula for binomial distribution problem is;

P(X = x) = C(n, x) × p^(x) × (1 - p)^(n - x)

But now in this question,

P(x ≤ 124) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) +.... P(124)

Getting all the Probabilities from P(0) to P(124) is too long we will make use of an online binomial probability distribution calculator with the result attached as an image.

In the calculator we input n = 300; p = 0.4; and P(X ≤ x)

We have a value of 0.703
