Answer:

24 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is the average of the first and last terms, multiplied by the number of terms. The last term is given by ...

an = a1 + (n-1)d

We have a sequence with first term a1 = 2 and common difference d = 2. So the last term is ...

an = 2+ 2(n -1) = 2n

Then the average of first and last terms times the number of terms is ...

Sn = 600 = n(2 + 2n)/2 = n(n+1) . . . . . . close to n²

We can solve the quadratic in n, or we can estimate the value of n as the integer just below the square root of 600.

√600 ≈ 24.5

so we believe n = 24.

A special shape is 2.02 m long and 1.22 m wide. A double row of tiles makes a border . Each tile is 2cm by 2cm. How many tiles a

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

6.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of tiles are needed to make the border is shown below:-

$= 2 \times (length + breadth)$

where,

Length is 2.02 m

And, the breadth is 1.22

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the number of tiles needed to make the border is

$= 2 \times (2.02 + 1.22)$

$= 2 \times 3.24$

= 6.48

Therefore for computing the tiles are needed to make the border we simply applied the above formula.

Determine the t critical value(s) that will capture the desired t-curve area in each of the following cases. (Assume that centra

Triss [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) this involves 2 tails

The critical value is determined from the t distribution table.

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

1 - α/2 = 1 - 0.05/2 = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at 0.975 with df 10

The critical value is 2.228

b) α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

1 - α/2 = 1 - 0.05/2 = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at 0.975 with df 20

The critical value is 2.086

c) α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

1 - α/2 = 1 - 0.01/2 = 1 - 0.005 = 0.995

Looking at 0.995 with df 20

The critical value is 2.845

d) α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

1 - α/2 = 1 - 0.01/2 = 1 - 0.005 = 0.995

Looking at 0.995 with df 60

The critical value is 2.660

e) 1 - α = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99

Looking at 0.99 with df 10

The critical value is 2.764

f) 1 - α = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at 0.975 with df 5

The critical value is 2.571

Solve 4/x-4=x/x-4-4/3 for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

x = 4 (extraneous solution)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac { 4 } { x - 4 } = \frac { x } { x - 4 } - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 } { x - 4 } - \frac { x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 - x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ 3 ( 4 - x ) = - 4 ( x - 4 ) \\ 1 2 - 3 x = - 4 x + 1 6 \\ 4 x - 3 x = 1 6 - 1 2 \\ x = 4 \\$

This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back $x=4$ , we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.
