ANSWER

$a_n = 11 - 3n$

EXPLANATION

The explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)$

It was given that:

$a_1 = 8$

and

$a_2 = 3$

The common difference is

$d = 5 - 8 = - 3$

We plug in the values into the explicit formula to get,

$a_n = 8+ - 3(n - 1)$

Expand to get,

$a_n = 8 - 3n + 3$

The explicit rule is

$a_n = 11 - 3n$

Ugo [173]

An equation for the number of trinkets in the warehouse after x days:
8,000 + 3,000x = 50,000

How many days will it take to fill the warehouse?

8,000 + 3,000x = 50,000
3,000x = 42,000
x = 14

A parachute is descending at a rate of 28 feet per minute. Find the total change in the altitude of the parachute after 4 minute

BigorU [14]

Answer:

The total change in the altitude of the parachute after 4 minutes is 92 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the total change in the altitude of the parachute.

The rate of change per minute = 28 ft/m

Now in 4 minutes, the total altitude change will be;

28 ft/min * 4 min = 92 ft

In 4 minutes, there would have been a change of 92 ft in the altitude of the parachute

The weight of corn chips dispensed into a 14-ounce bag by the dispensing machine has been identified as possessing a normal dist

mamaluj [8]

The probability that a normally distributed dataset with a mean, μ, and statndard deviation, σ, exceeds a value x, is given by

$P(X\ \textgreater \ x)=1-P(X\ \textless \ x)=1-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} \right)$

Given that the weight of corn chips dispensed into a 14-ounce bag by the dispensing machine is a normal distribution with a mean of 14.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounce.

If 100 bags of chips are randomly selected the probability that the mean weight of these 100 bags exceeds 14.6 ounces is given by

$P(X\ \textgreater \ 14.6)=1-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{14.6-14.5}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{100}}} \right) \\ \\ =1-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{0.1}{\frac{0.2}{10}} \right)=1-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{0.1}{0.02} \right) \\ \\ =1-P(z\ \textless \ 5)=1-1=0$

Therefore, the probability that the mean weight of these 100 bags exceeds 14.6 ounces is 0.

Find the given limit lim(x,y)→(a,a)x4−y4x2−y2=lim(x,y)→(a,a) (x^4−y^4)/(x2−y2)= here aa is a constant. (find the limit assuming

Aliun [14]

If $x\neq y$ , then we can write

$\dfrac{x^4-y^4}{x^2-y^2}=\dfrac{(x^2-y^2)(x^2+y^2)}{x^2-y^2}=x^2+y^2$

and since this is continuous for all $x\neq y$ , the limit as $(x,y)\to(a,a)$ will be

$\displaystyle\lim_{(x,y)\to(a,a)}\frac{x^4-y^4}{x^2-y^2}=\lim_{(x,y)\to(a,a)}(x^2+y^2)=2a^2$

Novay_Z [31]

There are really only two different shades of what I think is pink.

1/3 is equal to 2/6 which is equal to 3/9

1/2 is equal to 2/4 which is equal to 4/8

The bolded ones are the original mixtures given.

Start with 1/3 Multiply top and bottom by 2 and you get 2/6

When you multiply top and bottom of 1/3 by by 3 you get 3/9

Use the same idea for 1/2
