The common ratio is,
r= 450/300 = 3/2


nth term of geometric series is given by,
a_{n} = a₁r^{n-1}
a₂₀ = 300(3/2)¹⁹ = 665051

Answer:

the population be on Week 20 is about 665,051

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth of a bug population shows a geometric sequence as shown in the table

For all geometric sequence , there should be a common ratio

Lets find common ratio 'r'

To find common ratio we divide second term by first term

so common ratio r= \frac{450}{300} =\frac{3}{2}

To find nth term of geometric sequence , formula is

a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}

Where a1 is the first term  and r is the common difference

a1= 300 and r= 3/2

We need to find the population on Week 20, so n= 20

We plug in all the values and find out a20

a_{20} = 300(\frac{3}{2})^{20-1}

a_{20} = 300(\frac{3}{2})^{19}=300*2216.83782=665051.346

the population be on Week 20 is about 665,051

Answer:

Event A = { Chevrolet , Buick }

Event B = { Ford , Lincoln }

Event C = { Toyota }

Step-by-step explanation:

- Mutually exclusive events are such that their probability of coming true simultaneously is zero. If we consider set notations we could say.

                             P (A & B) = P (B & C) = P (A & C) = 0

- In our case these events A,B, and C can be defined as:

Answer:

Event A = { Chevrolet , Buick }

Event B = { Ford , Lincoln }

Event C = { Toyota }

The function g(x) is a continuous quadratic function defined for all real numbers, with some of its values given by the table be
abruzzese [7]
Though I almost broke my brain while solving what "-3 0 -2 5 0 9 2 5 3 0" means, I can tell you which statements is absolutely incorrect: it is "The function g(x) has a minimum value of 0" (it is incorrect because the maximum value is 9 as table provides).
To solve other problems, look at f(x): if it has the top, where y is the biggest, then it is the maximum value (so if y = 4.5 is the biggest y, first statement is correct); if it has the bottom, where y is the smallest, then it is minimum value (factually, statement 3 will be correct if statement 1 is correct because 9/4.5 = 2). Finally, if f(x) has the top, then statement 4 is correct because f(x) and g(x) would be both constantly decreasing functions.
Hope this helps.
