In a study of the progeny of rabbits, Fibonacci (ca. 1170-ca. 1240) encountered the sequence now bearing his name. The sequence

is defined recursively as follows.
an + 2 = an + an + 1, where a1 = 1 and a2 = 1.

(a) Write the first 12 terms of the sequence.

(b) Write the first 10 terms of the sequence defined below. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

bn =

an + 1/

an, n ? 1.

(c) The golden ratio ? can be defined by

limn ? In a study of the progeny of rabbits, Fibonacci (cbn = ?

, where

? = 1 + 1/?. Solve this equation for ?. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

The question in part c is not clear, nevertheless, part a and part b would be solved.

Answer:

a. The first twelve terms are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

b. The first ten terms are:

1.000, 1.000, 1.500, 1.667, 1.600, 1.625, 1.615, 1.619, 1.618, 1.618.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given

an + 2 = an + an + 1

where a1 = 1 and a2 = 1.

a3 = a1 + a2

= 2

a4 = a2 + a3

= 3

a5 = a3 + a4

= 5

a6 = a5 + a4

= 8

a7 = a6 + a5

= 13

a8 = a7 + a6

= 21

a9 = a8 + a7

= 34

a10 = a9 + a8

= 55

a11 = a10 + a9

= 89

a12 = a11 + a10

= 144

The first twelve terms are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

(b)

Given

bn = an+1/an

b1 = a2/a1

= 1/1 = 1.000

b2 = a3/a2

= 2/1 = 1.000

b3 = a4/a3

= 3/2 = 1.500

b4 = a5/a4

= 5/3 = 1.667

b5 = a6/a5

= 8/5 = 1.600

b6 = a7/a6

= 13/8 = 1.625

b7 = a8/a7

= 21/13 = 1.615

b8 = a9/a8

= 34/21 = 1.619

b9 = a10/a9

= 55/34 = 1.618

b10 = a11/a10

= 89/55 = 1.618

The first ten terms are:

1.000, 1.000, 1.500, 1.667, 1.600, 1.625, 1.615, 1.619, 1.618, 1.618.

In a sample of 100 steel canisters, the mean wall thickness was 8.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.5 mm. Someone says that th
Travka [436]

Answer:

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 8.1 mm

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.5 mm

Sample size, n = 100

We are given that the distribution of thickness is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Standard error due to sampling:

=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.05

P(mean thickness is less than 8.2 mm)

P(x < 8.2)

P( x < 8.2)\\\\ = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{8.2 - 8.1}{0.05})\\\\ = P(z < 2)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 8.2) =0.9772 = 97.72\%

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

The graph of y=3x^2-3x-1 is shown. Use the graph to find estimates for the solutions of i)3x^2-3x+2=2 ii) 3x^2-3x-1=x+1
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

i) (0, 2) and (1, 2), ii) (0.333, 1.333) and (1, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let be y=3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x -1, if 3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x +2 = 2, which is equivalent to the following system of equations:

y = 3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x +2

y = 2

Now, this system is now represented by means of a graphing tool and whose outcome is attached below. There are two solutions: (0, 2) and (1, 2)

ii) Let be y=3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x -1, if 3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x +2 = x+1, which is equivalent to the following system of equations:

y = 3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x +2

y = x+1

Now, this system is now represented by means of a graphing tool and whose outcome is attached below. There are two solutions: (0.333, 1.333) and (1, 2)
