Find the 89th term of the arithmetic sequence -16 -3 10

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alekssandra [29.7K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a_{89}=1128

Step-by-step explanation:

The given arithmetic progression is -16, -3, 10,...

We observe that the first term of this progression is a_1=-16.

The constant difference is

d=-3--16\\d=-3+16=13

The 89th term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a_{89}=a_1+88d

We substitute the first term and the common difference to obtain:

a_{89}=-16+88(13)

We simplify to get:

a_{89}=-16+1144

This simplifies to:

a_{89}=1128

If 2A:3B=5:6 and 3B:2C=36:15 then find A:C​
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

A: C = 2: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the attached pictures for the full solution.

Further explanantion (2nd image):

The reason why the ratio of A: C is equal to the ratio if 2A: 2C is that the number of parts of A and C is equal, which is 2 parts. If I were to divide both 2A and 2C by 2 to find the ratio of A: C, I would obtain 15: 15/2. However, ratios are expressed as whole numbers and thus, we would multiply the whole ratio by 2 again and the answer would still be 30: 15. This ratio is not in the simplest form since both can be divided by 15. Thus, dividing both sides of the ratio by 15 will leave us with the final answer of

A: C= 2: 1.

☆ An alternative method is to simplify the ratio 3B: 2C at the beginning.

3B: 2C

= 36: 15

= 12: 5

Multiply the first ratio by 2 so 3B has 12 parts in both ratios:

2A: 3B

= 10: 12

Combining the 2 ratios together,

2A: 3B: 2C

= 10: 6: 5

2A: 2C

= 10: 5

= 2: 1

A: C= 2: 1

QUESTION THREE (30 MARKS) 3.1 The mass of a standard loaf of white bread is, by law meant to be 700g with a population standard
kiruha [24]

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that  there is a 0.0284 = 2.84% probability of finding a sample mean mass of 695g or below.

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

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

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

  • Mean of 700g means that \mu = 700
  • Standard deviation of 21g means that \sigma = 21
  • Sample of 64, thus n = 64
  • <u>For the sampling distribution of the sample mean</u>, the standard deviation is of s = \frac{21}{\sqrt{64}} = \frac{21}{8} = 2.625

The probability of finding a sample mean mass of 695g or below is the p-value of Z when X = 695, thus:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{695 - 700}{2.625}

Z = -1.905

Z = -1.905 has a p-value of 0.0284.

0.0284 = 2.84% probability of finding a sample mean mass of 695g or below.

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (2,−4) that is parallel to the line y=3x+2
Naily [24]

Hey there! :)

Line passes through (2, -4) & parallel to y = 3x+ 2

Let's start off by identifying what our slope is. In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we know that "m" is our slope. "M" is simply a place mat so if we look at our given line, the "m" value is 3. Therefore, our slope is 3.

We should also note that we're looking for a line that's parallel to the given one. This means that our new line has the same slope as our given line. Therefore, our slope for our new line will be 3.

Now, we use point-slope form ( y-y₁=m(x-x₁) ) to complete our task of finding a line that passes through (2, -4) with a slope of 3.

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Let's start by plugging in 3 for m (our slope), 2 for x1 and -4 for y1.

y - (-4) = 3(x - 2)

Simplify.

y + 4 = 3x - 6

Simplify by subtracting 4 from both sides.

y = 3x - 10

~Hope I helped!~
