<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

The first line shown in choice A is a_1 = -2 which means "the first term is -2"

The next line in choice A means "the nth term (a_n) is found by multiplying the prior term (a_{n-1}) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.

first term = -2

second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16

third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128

fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024

and so on.

In 2012, Gallup asked participants if they had exercised more than 30 minutes a day for three days out of the week. Suppose that
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of people from Vermont who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day 3 days a week is between 55.9% and 74.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to answer the population proportion for Vermont.

We can only do it by a confidence interval, as we only have information from a sample.

This sample, of size n=100, has a proportion p=0.653.

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=100-1=99

We will calculate a 95% confidence interval, which for df=99 has a critical value of t of t=1.984.

The margin of error can be calculated as:

E=t*\sigma_p=t\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=1.984\sqrt{\dfrac{0.653*0.347}{100}}\\\\\\E=1.984*\sqrt{0.00226}=1.984*0.0476=0.094

Then, the upper and lower bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-E=0.653-0.094=0.559\\\\UL=p+E=0.653+0.094=0.747

Then, we can say that there is 95% confidence that the population proportion of people from Vermont who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day 3 days a week is between 55.9% and 74.7%.

If p is a polynomial show that lim x→ap(x)=p(a
Lostsunrise [7]

Let p(x) be a polynomial, and suppose that a is any real number. Prove that

lim x→a p(x) = p(a) .

 

Solution. Notice that

 

2(−1)4 − 3(−1)3 − 4(−1)2 − (−1) − 1 = 1 .

 

So x − (−1) must divide 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2. Do polynomial long division to get 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 – x – 2 / (x − (−1)) = 2x^3 − 5x^2 + x – 2.

 

Let ε > 0. Set δ = min{ ε/40 , 1}. Let x be a real number such that 0 < |x−(−1)| < δ. Then |x + 1| < ε/40 . Also, |x + 1| < 1, so −2 < x < 0. In particular |x| < 2. So

 

|2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| ≤ |2x^3 | + | − 5x^2 | + |x| + | − 2|

= 2|x|^3 + 5|x|^2 + |x| + 2

< 2(2)^3 + 5(2)^2 + (2) + 2

= 40

 

Thus, |2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2| = |x + 1| · |2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| < ε/40 · 40 = ε.

11. The sales tax rate is 6.9%
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

40.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that 192 is in 100%.

100% = 192

I then represent the value that we are looking for with x.

x% = 77

By dividing both equations (100% = 192 and x% = 77) and remembering that both left hand sides of BOTH equations have the percentage unit (%).

\frac{100}{x} = \frac{77}{192}

Now, of course, we take the reciprocal, or inverse, of both sides:

\frac{x}{100} = \frac{7}{192}

x = 40.1%

Thus making the answer: 40.1% of 192 is 77.
