The answer is actually A.2 because I just took the test.

Answer:

Option: a is the correct answer.

a. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a table for the mean and mean absolute deviations as:

Language Arts Biology

Mean 98 90

Mean Absolute Deviation 3.5 5

Hence, the difference in the mean is:

98-90=8

Now we calculate the ratio of difference in mean with each of the mean absolute deviation score.

1)

$\dfrac{8}{3.5}=2.286$

which is approximately equal to 2.

2)

$\dfrac{8}{5}=1.6$

which is also approximately equal to 2.

Hence, the approximate ratio of the difference in the means to each of the mean absolute deviations is: 2

the points (0,1), (1,5), (2,25), (3,125) are on the graph of a function which equation represent that function

8090 [49]

f(x) = $5^{x}$

note the range is {1, 5, 25, 125 } which can be expressed as

{ $5^{0}$ , $5^{1}$ , $5^{2}$ , $5^{3}$ }

the exponents being the domain { 0, 1, 2, 3 }

thus f(x) = $5^{x}$ an exponential function

The local skating rink pays marry a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. she earns $90 for i

Ganezh [65]

You have to make a system of equations: lets make a equal the amount marry makes per student and b be her base amount.
90=15a+b (you have to subtract the top equation by the bottom equation)
62=8a+b (90-62=28, 15a-8a=7a, and b-b=0)
Since b canceled out, you are left with 7a=28 which means a=4. you can than plug a into the equation 62=8a+b to find that b=30.

since Lisa makes half of the base amount marry, her base amount is 15. However, she also make twice the amount per kid so she makes 8 per kid.
using the found values found you can make the equations (m=the amount Marry makes, l=the amount Lisa makes, and c is the number of children)
m=4c+30
l=8c+15
set c=20 and you should get m=110 and l=175. Based off of that information, we can say that Lisa makes more money instructing a class of 20 students.
I hope this helps.

Your drawer has 5 pairs of black socks, 4 pairs of gray socks, 2 pairs of white socks, 1 pair of brown socks, and 1 pair of blue

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

5 pairs of black socks*2 because it’s a pair= 10 socks
4 pairs of grey socks*2=8
2 pairs of white socks*2=4
1 pair of brown socks*2=2
1 pair of blue socks*2=2
10 socks+8 socks+4 socks+2 socks+ 2 socks=26 socks in total
26/2=13+1 because you need to be sure you get one pair of socks. The smallest amount of socks you would have to grab to get at least one matching pair is 14 socks.

Solve the recurrence relation: hn = 5hn−1 − 6hn−2 − 4hn−3 + 8hn−4 with initial values h0 = 0, h1 = 1, h2 = 1, and h3 = 2 using (

musickatia [10]

(a) Suppose $h_n=r^n$ is a solution for this recurrence, with $r\neq0$ . Then

$r^n=5r^{n-1}-6r^{n-2}-4r^{n-3}+8r^{n-4}$
$\implies1=\dfrac5r-\dfrac6{r^2}-\dfrac4{r^3}+\dfrac8{r^4}$
$\implies r^4-5r^3+6r^2+4r-8=0$
$\implies (r-2)^3(r+1)=0\implies r=2,r=-1$

So we expect a general solution of the form

$h_n=c_1(-1)^n+(c_2+c_3n+c_4n^2)2^n$

With $h_0=0,h_1=1,h_2=1,h_3=2$ , we get four equations in four unknowns:

$\begin{cases}c_1+c_2=0\\-c_1+2c_2+2c_3+2c_4=1\\c_1+4c_2+8c_3+16c_4=1\\-c_1+8c_2+24c_3+72c_4=2\end{cases}\implies c_1=-\dfrac8{27},c_2=\dfrac8{27},c_3=\dfrac7{72},c_4=-\dfrac1{24}$

So the particular solution to the recurrence is

$h_n=-\dfrac8{27}(-1)^n+\left(\dfrac8{27}+\dfrac{7n}{72}-\dfrac{n^2}{24}\right)2^n$

(b) Let $G(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}h_nx^n$ be the generating function for $h_n$ . Multiply both sides of the recurrence by $x^n$ and sum over all $n\ge4$ .

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge4}h_nx^n=5\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-1}x^n-6\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-2}x^n-4\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-3}x^n+8\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-4}x^n$
$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge4}h_nx^n=5x\sum_{n\ge3}h_nx^n-6x^2\sum_{n\ge2}h_nx^n-4x^3\sum_{n\ge1}h_nx^n+8x^4\sum_{n\ge0}h_nx^n$
$G(x)-h_0-h_1x-h_2x^2-h_3x^3=5x(G(x)-h_0-h_1x-h_2x^2)-6x^2(G(x)-h_0-h_1x)-4x^3(G(x)-h_0)+8x^4G(x)$
$G(x)-x-x^2-2x^3=5x(G(x)-x-x^2)-6x^2(G(x)-x)-4x^3G(x)+8x^4G(x)$
$(1-5x+6x^2+4x^3-8x^4)G(x)=x-4x^2+3x^3$
$G(x)=\dfrac{x-4x^2+3x^3}{1-5x+6x^2+4x^3-8x^4}$
$G(x)=\dfrac{17}{108}\dfrac1{1-2x}+\dfrac29\dfrac1{(1-2x)^2}-\dfrac1{12}\dfrac1{(1-2x)^3}-\dfrac8{27}\dfrac1{1+x}$

From here you would write each term as a power series (easy enough, since they're all geometric or derived from a geometric series), combine the series into one, and the solution to the recurrence will be the coefficient of $x^n$ , ideally matching the solution found in part (a).
