d(1)=2
d(n)=d(n−1)⋅(−2)^n
What is the third term in the sequence?
Answer:
- 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The way this is given, you have to find the second term before you can fine the third.
a2 = d(n - 1) * (-2)^2
a2 = 2 * (-2)^2
a2 = 2 * 4
a2 = 8
a3 = d(3 - 1) * (-2)^3
a3 = 2 * (-2)^3
a3 = 2 * - 8
a3 = - 16
evaluate (-1)^6-4^0+(3/7)^0

Describe domain and range of the graph.
Please help!! Given the recursive formula shown, what are the first 4 terms of the sequence?
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
the fibrin definition tells us that the first term of the sequence a1 = 6
so, B is out.
and for every following term we always add 7 to every previous term to create the next one.
so, when I add 7 to 6, what is my second term in the sequence ? 7+6 = 13
not 42, not -7
therefore, only C is correct.
and 13+7 = 20
and 20+7 = 27

Answer:
A. If the side lengths are the same, then a triangle is not scalene.
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles.
Simply stated, any polygon with three (3) lengths of sides is a triangle.
In Geometry, a triangle is considered to be the most important shape.
Generally, there are three (3) main types of triangle based on the length of their sides and these include;
I. Equilateral triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles equal.
II. Isosceles triangle: it has two (2) of its sides equal in length and two (2) equal angles.
III. Scalene triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles different in length and size respectively.
A person earns $23,600 one year and gets a 5% raise in salary. What is the new salary?
Answer:
24780
Step-by-step explanation:
might not be right but 24780 because 23600*5% is 1180 and add that to the original 23600 to get 24780
5% more is 105% in total, including the the 100% we start with, so:
23,600 * 1.05 = 24780

It is estimated that 75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell phone at home.
(a) On average, how many young adults do not own a landline in a random sample of 100?
(b) What is the standard deviation of probability of young adults who do not own a landline in a simple random sample of 100?
(c) What is the proportion of young adults who do not own a landline?
(d) What is the probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?
(e) What is the probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?
(f) What is the distribution of the number of young adults in a sample of 100 who do not own a landline?
(g) What is the probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline?
Answer:
a) 75
b) 4.33
c) 0.75
d) [tex]3.2 \times 10^{-13}[/tex] probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline
e) [tex]6.2 \times 10^{-61}[/tex] probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.
f) Binomial, with [tex]n = 100, p = 0.75[/tex]
g) [tex]4.5 \times 10^{-8}[/tex] probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each young adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they do not own a landline, or they do. The probability of an young adult not having a landline is independent of any other adult, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell phone at home.
This means that [tex]p = 0.75[/tex]
(a) On average, how many young adults do not own a landline in a random sample of 100?
Sample of 100, so [tex]n = 100[/tex]
[tex]E(X) = np = 100(0.75) = 75[/tex]
(b) What is the standard deviation of probability of young adults who do not own a landline in a simple random sample of 100?
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.75)(0.25)} = 4.33[/tex]
(c) What is the proportion of young adults who do not own a landline?
The estimation, of 75% = 0.75.
(d) What is the probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?
This is P(X = 100), that is, all do not own. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 100) = C_{100,100}.(0.75)^{100}.(0.25)^{0} = 3.2 \times 10^{-13}[/tex]
[tex]3.2 \times 10^{-13}[/tex] probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.
(e) What is the probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?
This is P(X = 0), that is, all own. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.75)^{0}.(0.25)^{100} = 6.2 \times 10^{-61}[/tex]
[tex]6.2 \times 10^{-61}[/tex] probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.
(f) What is the distribution of the number of young adults in a sample of 100 who do not own a landline?
Binomial, with [tex]n = 100, p = 0.75[/tex]
(g) What is the probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline?
This is P(X = 50). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 50) = C_{100,50}.(0.75)^{50}.(0.25)^{50} = 4.5 \times 10^{-8}[/tex]
[tex]4.5 \times 10^{-8}[/tex] probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

Cual es el capital que prestado al 10% bimestral durante 6 meses y 10 días produce un interés de 1140
Respuesta:
3650
Explicación paso a paso:
Dado que :
Principal, P = capital prestado
Tasa anual, r = 10% * 6 = 60%
Interés = 1140
Periodo = 6 meses y 10 días = (6 * 30) +10 = 190 días
Conversión a años:
Periodo = 190/365
Usando la relación:
Interés = principal * tasa * tiempo
1140 = P * 60% * (190/365)
1140 = 0.3123287P
P = 1140 / 0,3123287
P = 3650

The value of the test statistic is the z-score z = -0.88
What is a z-score?The relationship between a value and the mean of a set of values is expressed numerically by a Z-score. The Z-score is computed using the standard deviations from the mean. A Z-score of zero indicates that the data point's score and the mean score are identical.
The Z-score is calculated using the formula:
z = (x - μ)/σ
where z: standard score
x: observed value
μ: mean of the sample
σ: standard deviation of the sample
Given data ,
Let the test statistic value be represented as z
Now , the probability of emergency room visitors are insured is q = 0.54
The total number of patients n = 120
The number of patients that were insured = 60
So , the percentage of people that were insured p = 60/120 = 0.5
Now , test statistic value z = ( p - q ) / [ √ ( q ( 1 - q )/n² ]
The value of z score is
z = [ 0.5 - 0.54 ] / √ 0.54 ( 1 - 0.54 ) / 120²
On simplifying the equation , we get
The value of z score is z = -0.88
Hence , the test statistic is z = -0.88

A lawyer commutes daily from his suburban home to his midtown office. The average time for a one-way trip is 24 minutes, with a standard deviation of 3.8 minutes. Assume the distribution of trip times to be normally distributed.
(a) What is the probability that a trip will take at least ½ hour?
(b) If the office opens at 9:00 A.M. and he leaves his house at 8:45 A.M. daily, what percentage of the time is he late for work?

What do you mean by normal distribution ?
A probability distribution known as a "normal distribution" shows that data are more likely to occur when they are close to the mean than when they are far from the mean.
Let assume the time taken for a one way trip be x .
x ⇒ N( μ , σ ²)
x ⇒ N( 24 , 3.8 ²)
a)
The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour or 30 minutes will be :
P ( x ≥ 30)
= P [ (x - μ) / σ ≥ (30 - μ) / σ ]
We know that , (x - μ) / σ = z.
= P [ z ≥ (30 - 24) / 3.8)]
= P [ z ≥ 1.578 ]
= 1 - P [ z ≤ 1.578 ]
Now , using the standard normal table :
P ( x ≥ 30)
= 1 - 0.9394
= 0.0606
b)
The percentage of the time the lawyer is late for work will be :
P ( x ≥ 15)
= P [ z ≥ -2.368 ]
= P [ z ≤ 2.368]
= 0.9918
or
99.18%
c)
The probability that lawyer misses coffee :
P ( 15 < x < 25 ) = P ( x < 25 ) - P ( x < 15)
= P [ z < 0.263] - P ( z < -2.368)
or
= 0.3659
d)
The length of time above which we find the slowest 10% of trips :
P( x ≥ X ) ≤ 0.10
= 0.5438
e)
Let's assume that y represents the number of trips that takes at least half hour.
y ⇒ B ( n , p)
y ⇒ B ( 3 , 0.0606)
So , the probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half
1/2 hour is :
P ( Y = 2 )
= 3C2 × (0.0606)² × ( 1 - 0.0606)
= 0.0103
Therefore , the answers are :
a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.
b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.
c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.
d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10% of trips will be 0.5438.

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t^2-1}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t^2-1+2-2}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(2t^2+2)-1-2}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(t^2+1)-3}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(t^2+1)}{t^2+1}-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = 2-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\\\\[/tex]
This concludes the first part of 4b
=======================================================
Now onto the second part.
Since t is nonzero, this means either t > 0 or t < 0.
If t > 0, then,
[tex]t > 0\\\\t^2 > 0\\\\t^2+1 > 1\\\\\frac{1}{t^2+1} < 1 \ \text{ ... inequality sign flip}\\\\\frac{3}{t^2+1} < 3\\\\-\frac{3}{t^2+1} > -3 \ \text{ ... inequality sign flip}\\\\-\frac{3}{t^2+1}+2 > -3 + 2\\\\2-\frac{3}{t^2+1} > -1\\\\-1 < 2-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\\\\-1 < \frac{dy}{dx}\\\\[/tex]
note the inequality signs flipping when we apply the reciprocal to both sides, and when we multiply both sides by a negative value.
You should find that the same conclusion happens when we consider t < 0. Why? Because t < 0 becomes t^2 > 0 after we square both sides. The steps are the same as shown above.
So both t > 0 and t < 0 lead to [tex]-1 < \frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]
We can say that -1 is the lower bound of dy/dx. It never reaches -1 itself because t = 0 is not allowed.
We could say that
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{t\to0}\left(2-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\right)=-1\\\\[/tex]
---------------------------------------
To establish the upper bound, we consider what happens when t approaches either infinity.
If t approaches positive infinity, then,
[tex]\displaystyle L = \lim_{t\to\infty}\left(2-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\right)\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{t\to\infty}\left(\frac{2t^2-1}{t^2+1}\right)\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{t\to\infty}\left(\frac{2-\frac{1}{t^2}}{1+\frac{1}{t^2}}\right)\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \frac{2-0}{1+0}\\\\\\\displaystyle L = 2\\\\[/tex]
As t approaches infinity, the dy/dx value approaches L = 2 from below.
The same applies when t approaches negative infinity.
So we see that [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} < 2[/tex]
---------------------------------------
Since [tex]-1 < \frac{dy}{dx} \text{ and } \frac{dy}{dx} < 2[/tex], those two inequalities combine into the compound inequality [tex]-1 < \frac{dy}{dx} < 2[/tex]
So dy/dx is bounded between -1 and 2, exclusive of either endpoint.
