Answer:

f(n)=-2\cdot f(n-1), where f(1)=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is; 3, –6, 12, –24, 48, …

The first term of this sequence is

f(1)=3

There is a common ratio of r=\frac{-6}{3}=-2

We can actually use any other two consecutive terms in the sequence to obtain the common ratio.

The recursive formula is given by:

f(n)=r\cdot f(n-1)

We plug in the common ratio to get:

f(n)=-2\cdot f(n-1), where f(1)=3

Jake made a total of 7 copies at a copy shop, with some being black-and-white copies and some being color copies. Black-and-whit
Arada [10]
Jake spent a total of 70 cents.
b = black-and-white = 8 cents
c = color = 15 cents

70 = 8b + 15c

he made a total of 7 copies
b + c = 7

system of equation:
70 = 8b + 15c
b + c = 7

--------------------------

b + c = 7
b + c (-c) = 7 (-c)
b = 7 - c

plug in 7 - c for b

70 = 8(7 - c) + 15c
Distribute the 8 to both 7 and - c (distributive property)

70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
Simplify like terms

70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
70 = 56 + 7c

Isolate the c, do the opposite of PEMDAS: Subtract 56 from both sides

70 (-56) = 56 (-56) + 7c
14 = 7c

divide 7 from both sides to isolate the c

14 = 7c
14/7 = 7c/7
 c = 14/7
 c = 2

c = 2
---------------

Now that you know what c equals (c = 2), plug in 2 for c in one of the equations.
b + c = 7
c = 2
<em>b + (2) = 7
</em><em />Find b by isolating it. subtract 2 from both sides
b + 2 = 7
b + 2 (-2) = 7 (-2)
b = 7 - 2
b = 5

Jake made 5 black-and-white copies, and 2 color copies

hope this helps

11. A basketball team of 16 players consists of 6 guards, 7 forwards, and 3 centers. The coach decides to randomly select 5 play
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.2163

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to evaluate the total number of possible outcomes. Since there are 16 players, and we are selecting just 5, the total number of possibilities is 16C5= 4,368

Now, we know we need 2 guards from 6 , 2 forwards from 7 and 1 center from 3 to start the game. Since we are selecting, it is a combination problem. These can be done in the following number of ways:

6C2 * 7C2* 3C1

The probability is thus (6C2 * 7C2* 3C1 )/16C5 = 945/4368 = 0.2163

The Ignorance Survey: United Kingdom A survey was conducted in the United Kingdom, where respondents were asked if they had a un
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Here we have given two catogaries as degree holder and non degree holder.

So here we have to test the hypothesis that,

H0 : p1 = p2 Vs H1 : p1 not= p2

where p1 is population proportion of degree holder.

p2 is population proportion of non degree holder.

Assume alpha = level of significance = 5% = 0.05

The test is two tailed.

Here test statistic follows standard normal distribution.

The test statistic is,

Z = (p1^ - p2^) / SE

where SE = sqrt[(p^*q^)/n1 + (p^*q^)/n2]

p1^ = x1/n1

p2^ = x2/n2

p^ = (x1+x2) / (n1+n2)

This we can done in TI_83 calculator.

steps :

STAT --> TESTS --> 6:2-PropZTest --> ENTER --> Input all the values --> select alternative "not= P2" --> ENTER --> Calculate --> ENTER

Test statistic Z = 1.60

P-value = 0.1090

P-value > alpha

Fail to reject H0 or accept H0 at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion : There is not sufficient evidence to say that  the percent of correct answers is significantly different between degree holders and non-degree holders.

Consider the set A, of all integers from 1 to 10 inclusive (that means the 1 and the 10 are included in this set) Give a set B t
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

C^{I} = {2, 4, 10}

Step-by-step explanation:

A set is a collection of objects called elements. These element are refered to as members of the set.

Set A contains all integers from 1 to 10 inclusive;

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

A subset of a given set implies that every element of the subset are also elements of the given set. Set B is a subset of A;

B = {1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

Complement of a given set refers to elements not in the general set. Set C is the complement of B;

C^{I} = {2, 4, 10}
