Answer:

12th term would be -26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given explicit formula of a sequence,

b(n) = -4 - 2(n-1)

Where,

n = number of a term.

i.e. 12th term will get after putting n = 12 in the formula.

Hence, 12th term of the sequence would be,

b(12) = -4 - 2(12-1)

=-4-2(11)

= -4 - 22

= -26

Students who party before an exam are twice as likely to fail as those who don't party (and presumably study). If 20% of the stu
True [87]

Answer:

The fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of students = 100

No. of students partied are twice the no. of students who not partied.

⇒ No. of students partied = 2 × the no. of students who are not partied

No. of students partied before the exam = 20 % of total students

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = \frac{20}{100} × 100

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam =  20

No. of students who not partied before the exam = \frac{20}{2} = 10

Thus the fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}

Consider this polynomial, where a is an unknown real number.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct steps to find the value of 'a' should be,

Braulio's synthetic division should be,

-1  |     1       5         a          -3           11

   

    <u>            -1        -4        (4 - a)     (a - 1)  </u>

         1      4     (a - 4)     (1 - a)     (a + 10)

Here remainder is (a + 10).

So (a + 10) = 17 ⇒ a = 7

Braulio Incorrectly found a value of 'a' because he should have used (-1) instead of 1.

Zahra's calculation by remainder theorem should be,

p(x) = x⁴ + 5x³ + ax² - 3x + 11

p(-1) = (-1)⁴ + 5(-1)³ + a(-1)² - 3(-1) + 11

      = 1 - 5 + a + 3 + 11

      = (a + 10)

Since, remainder of the solution is 17,

(a + 10) = 17 ⇒ a = 7

Zahra incorrectly found the value of 'a' because she incorrectly solved the powers to (-1).

There are 5,280 feet in a mile. What part of a mile, in decimal form, will you drive until you reach the exit.
nalin [4]

Answer:

= 0.1893939

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that there are 5,280 feet in a mile.

Number of feet in a mile = 5,280

Now we will convert feet into miles.

To convert 1000 feet into mile we will multiply  it by 1/5280

1000 feet = 1000 * 1/5280

1000/5280

= 0.1893939

Therefore the answer is = 0.1893939....

points P and Q lie 240 m apart in line with and on opposite sides of a communications tower. the angles of elevation to the top
Leona [35]

Answer:

The height of the tower is 130.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given the following values:

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from P = 50°

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from Q = 45°

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from P = 50°

Hence,cot P = 1/ tan(50°)

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from Q = 45°

Hence, tan 45° = 1

In the question,we are told Points P and Q lie 240 m apart in line with and on opposite sides of a communications tower.

Therefore,

PQ = height of the tower( tan Q + 1/tan P)

240m = height of the tower( tan 45° + 1/ tan 50°)

240m = h(1 + 1/tan 50°)

h = (240 m)/(1 + 1/tan (50°))

h = 130.49863962 meters

Therefore, the height of the tower to the nearest tenth of a meter is 130.5 meters(m)
