The first term of a geometric sequence is 4 and grows exponentially by a factor of 3. Murphy writes out the terms and says that the sum of the 4th and 5th terms is​ 1,296. Explain​ Murphy's error and correct it. (Fill in the blanks)
Murphy added terms
____
together. The correct sum of the 4th and 5th terms is ___
​(Simplify your​ answer.)

Answers

Answer 1

The geometric sequence can increase or decrease exponentially

The correct sum of the 4th and the 5th terms is 432

How to determine the correct sum?

The given parameters are:

Initial value (a) = 4

Growth factor (r) = 3

The nth term of a geometric sequence is calculated as:

[tex]T_n = ar^{n-1}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]T_n = 4 * 3^{n-1}[/tex]

For the 4th term; we have:

[tex]T_4 = 4 * 3^{4-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_4 = 108[/tex]

For the 5th term, we have:

[tex]T_5 = 4 * 3^{5-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_5 = 324[/tex]

Add the 4th and the 5th terms

Sum = 108 + 324

Sum = 432

Hence, the correct sum of the 4th and the 5th terms is 432

A situation when the government most likely have a contractionary fiscal policy is D. when the level of economic output is running unusually high.

What is contractionary fiscal policy?

Contractionary fiscal policy is when the government collects more money than it spends. This is usually done by increasing taxes and reducing government expenditure.

During a recession, unemployment will increase tax revenue collected by the government will decrease, and spending by the government will increase.

According to the new classical critique of fiscal policy, consumers increase their savings in response to government spending because they believe they will eventually need the saved money when they have to pay higher taxes.

Find a linear equation with two variables that, together with the
equation 10x + 5y = 1, would comprise a system
without a solution.

Answers

Answer:

10x+5y=2

Step-by-step explanation: You have the equation 10x+5y=1 and from the problem, we are trying to find an equation that does not produce a solution with 10x+5y=1. To do this know 1 is your y-intercept and if you put 10x+5y=1 into slope-intercept form you'll get y=-2x+1/5. Solve the problem know that you can use any number besides 1 on the right side and have the same slope to fit the question. What I mean is that let's say I have 10x+5y=2, I put it into a slope-intercept form I'll have y=-2x+2/5. The two equations y=-2x+1/5 and y=-2+2/5 will not meet because their slopes are PARALLEL. So in short have a different y-intercept but the same slope to not get a solution. Additional note you could have other y-intercepts such as 3,4,5,6,7,8, or 9 in your standard form equation 10x+5y= to get a equation that does not make a solution with 10x+5y=1.

Question
Without looking, Luke picks necklace beads from a bag of 52 beads. Half the beads are rough. The other half are smooth. There are 13 red beads, 13 blue beads, 13 green beads, and 13 black beads.

What is the theoretical probability of selecting a blue bead? Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.

Enter the correct answer in the boxes.

Answers

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the probability of just picking a blue bead

It does NOT say anything about picking a smooth or rough!

This means you don't have to worry about it being smooth or rough (it is just extra information to throw you off)

So to find just picking one blue bead, you want to have the amount of blue beads divided by the total amount of beads

the amount of blue beads is 13

and the total is 52

So:

13/52 is your probability, but you want to simplify

Person A wants to order a bunch of shirts. One website charges 9.65 per shirt, plus a set up fee for $43. Another company charges 8.40 per shirt plus a $58 fee. But what number of shirts would the cost be the same? Why?

Answers

Answer:

12 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

   First, we need to write our equations. Let x be the number of shirts and y be the cost. We will multiply the number of shirts bought (x) by the price and then add the setup fee.

   To answer the overall question, we will graph the two equations we create. Their point of intersection is the solution, or where the number of shirts bought would cost the same.

   "One website" - 9.65 per shirt, plus a set up fee for $43

y = 9.65x + $43

   "Another company" - 8.40 per shirt plus a $58 fee

y = 8.4x + $58

   See attached for the graph.

They intersect at point (12, 158.8) meaning that both websites will charge $158.80 for 12 shirts.

Fill in the 4500pi that is given for the V.

4500pi = 4/3 • pi•r^3

Then solve for r.

Multiply by 3/4 to get rid of the 4/3.

Divide both sides by pi.

Then cube root to get rid of the third power on the r.

The exact value of sin 22.5° using the half-angle formula is √(2 - √2) / 2 or 0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider θ = 22.5 º

Therefore, sin2θ =  [(1− cos 2θ) / 2] -------(1)

If θ = 22.5° then 2θ is 45°.

On substituting the value of θ in equation (1), we get

sin2 22.5° =  [(1− cos (2 × 22.5°)) / 2]

sin2 22.5° =  [(1− cos 45°) / 2]

sin2 22.5°=  [ [1 - (1 / √2)] / 2 ]

sin2 22.5°=  (2 - √2) / 4 [ on simplifying the above RHS value ]

sin 22.5° = [√(2 - √2) / 2]

After substituting the value of √2 as 1.414 in the above equation, we get

sin 22.5°= 0.38
