Find [tex]a_{1}[/tex] in a geometric series for which [tex]S_{n}[/tex] = 189, r = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], and [tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 3.
Answer:
[tex] \displaystyle a_{1} = 108[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
the sum,common difference and nth term of a geometric sequence
we want to figure out the first term
recall geometric sequence
[tex] \displaystyle S_{ \text{n}} = \frac{ a_{1}(1 - {r}^{n} )}{1 - r} [/tex]
we are given that
[tex]S_n=189[/tex][tex]r=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]n=3[/tex]thus substitute:
[tex] \displaystyle 189= \frac{ a_{1}(1 - {( \frac{1}{2} )}^{3} )}{1 - \frac{1}{2} } [/tex]
to figure out [tex]a_1[/tex] we need to figure out the equation
simplify denominator:
[tex] \displaystyle \frac{ a_{1}(1 - {( \frac{1}{2} )}^{3} )}{ \dfrac{1}{2} } = 189[/tex]
simplify square:
[tex] \displaystyle \frac{ a_{1}(1 - {( \frac{1}{8} )}^{} )}{ \dfrac{1}{2} } = 189[/tex]
simplify substraction:
[tex] \displaystyle \frac{ a_{1} (\frac{7}{8} )}{ \frac{1}{2} } = 189[/tex]
simplify complex fraction:
[tex] \displaystyle a_{1} (\frac{7}{8} ) \div { \frac{1}{2} } = 189[/tex]
calculate reciprocal:
[tex] \displaystyle a_{1} \frac{7}{8} \times 2 = 189[/tex]
reduce fraction:
[tex] \displaystyle a_{1} \frac{7}{4} \ = 189[/tex]
multiply both sides by 4/7:
[tex] \displaystyle a_{1} \frac{7}{4} \times \frac{4}{7} \ = 189 \times \frac{4}{7} [/tex]
reduce fraction:
[tex] \displaystyle a_{1} = 27\times 4[/tex]
simplify multiplication:
[tex] \displaystyle a_{1} = 108[/tex]
hence,
[tex] \displaystyle a_{1} = 108[/tex]

The student council is hosting a drawing to raise money for scholarships. They are selling tickets for $9 each and will sell 500 tickets. There is one $2,000 grand prize, three $300 second prizes, and eleven $40 third prizes. You just bought a ticket. Find the expected value for your profit. Round to the nearest cent.
Answer:
-$2.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Give that
The selling price per ticket is $9
And the number of tickets sold is 500
So,
There is one grand prize, three $300 second prize, and eleven $40 third prizes
We need to find out the expected value of the profit
[tex]= \frac{1}{500} \times 2000 + \frac{3}{500} \times 300 + \frac{11}{500} \times 40\\\\[/tex]
= 4 + 1.8 + 0.88
= 6.68
Now the expected profit is
= $6.68 - $9
= -$2.32

Given the polynomial f(x) = -4x2 + 5x + 7, what is the smallest positive integer a such that the Intermediate Value
Theorem guarantees a zero exists between 0 and a?
Answer:
here the smallest positive no be (0,-14)
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Here we put the value of x as 0, 1,2, 3
And solve the polynomial
Given that
-4x^2 + 5x + 7
Now
x = 0
So,
= -4(0)^2 + 5(0) + 7
= 0 + 0 + 7
= 7>0
x = 1
= -4(1)^2 + 5(1) + 7
= -4 + 5 + 7
= 8>0
x = 2
= -4(2)^2 + 5(2) + 7
= -16 + 17
= 1>0
x = 3
= -4(3)^2 + 5(3) + 7
= -36 + 15 + 7
= -14>0
So, here the smallest positive no be (0,-14)

Oridinary interest method to find the rate of interest that make over photo pays on a loan of $8,000 for 285 days. If the amount of interest is $590.
Answer:
The correct answer is "9.3%".
Step-by-step explanation:
The given values are:
Amount of interest,

b) Eigen values : λ1 = -1 and λ2 = - 1/2
Eigenvector : V1 = - y1 and V2 = ( - 1/2 ) y2
c) since the Oscillator is > 0 hence it is Overdamped
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets take : m = 2 , k = 1 and b = 3
a) Second -order differential equation and the first order system
attached below
b) determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Linear system
Eigen values : λ1 = -1 and λ2 = - 1/2
Eigenvector : V1 = - y1 and V2 = ( - 1/2 ) y2

0.3(3a-4)-0.05(8a)(-7a)
Answer:
2.8a²+0.9a - 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression 0.3(3a-4)-0.05(8a)(-7a)
Expand using the distributive law
0.3(3a-4)-0.05(8a)(-7a)
0.3(3a)-0.3(4)-0.05(8a)(-7a)
0.9a-1.2 - 0.05(8a)(-7a)
0.9a - 1.2 + 2.8a²
Rearrange
2.8a²+0.9a - 1.2
Hence the required expression is 2.8a²+0.9a - 1.2

A political scientist claims that negative advertising on television affects younger voters more than it affects older voters. To test this claim, the scientist obtained data from two random samples of voters categorized into two age-groups, older and younger. The null hypothesis was that there was no difference in the proportions of voters in the two age-groups who would be affected by negative ads. The alternative hypothesis was that the proportion of younger voters affected would be greater than the proportion of older voters affected.
Assuming all conditions for inference were met, the scientist conducted the test at a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05. The resulting pp-value was 0.206. Which of the following is the correct decision for the test?
a. The pp-value is less than αα, and the null hypothesis is rejected. There is convincing evidence to support the claim that younger voters are more affected by negative ads than are older voters
b. The pp-value is less than αα, and the null hypothesis is rejected. There is not convincing evidence to support the claim that younger voters are more affected by negative ads than are older voters.
c. The pp-value is greater than αα, and the null hypothesis is not rejected. There is convincing evidence to support the claim that younger voters are more affected by negative ads than are older voters.
d. The pp-value is greater than αα, and the null hypothesis is rejected. There is convincing evidence to support the claim that younger voters are more affected by negative ads than are older voters.
e. The pp-value is greater than αα, and the null hypothesis is not rejected. There is not convincing evidence to support the claim that younger voters are more affected by negative ads than are older voters.
Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the pp-value exceeds, the null hypothesis is not ruled out. The argument that younger voters are more impacted by negative advertisements than older ones is supported by compelling evidence. The correct option is C.
How to get the null Hypothesis?The null hypothesis is accepted as the P value is greater than the significant level.
Given :
Percentage older voters = po
Percentage younger voters = py
H0: po = pL
Ha: py > pL
Pvalue = 0.206; α = 0.05
Decision Region :
If Pvalue > α ; We can not reject H0
In the scenario above,
P value> α ; 0.206 < 0.05; Hence, we can not reject the Null.

Answer:
v = <-5, 1> ≈ <5.09902, 168.69°>
Step-by-step explanation:
Vector u has its tail at the origin, so the coordinates of its head give you the components of the vector. To find the components of vector v, you can translate it so its tail is at the origin, or you can simply subtract the tail coordinates from the head coordinates.
v = <1, -2> -<6, -3> = <1-6, -2-(-3)>
v = <-5, 1>
As you know, the magnitude is the root of the sum of the squares of the components:
|v| = √(5²+1²) = √26 ≈ 5.09902
The tangent of the angle is the ratio of y to x coordinates. When using the arctangent function, the quadrant needs to be taken into account.
∠v = arctan(1/-5) ≈ 168.69°
Vector v is ...
v = <-5, 1> ≈ <5.09902, 168.69°>
