Find all geometric sequences such that the sum of the first two terms is 24 and the sum of the first three terms is 26.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The nth term Tn = -8(-1/4)^(n-1) or Tn = 6(1/3)^(n-1) can be used to find all geometric sequences

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first three terms be a/r, a, ar... where a is the first term and r is the common ratio of the geometric sequence.

If the sum of the first two term is 24, then a/r + a = 24...(1)

and the sum of the first three terms is 26.. then a/r+a+ar = 26...(2)

Substtituting equation 1 into 2 we have;

24+ar = 26

ar = 2

a = 2/r ...(3)

Substituting a = 2/r into equation 1 will give;

(2/r))/r+2/r = 24

2/r²+2/r = 24

(2+2r)/r² = 24

2+2r = 24r²

1+r = 12r²

12r²-r-1 = 0

12r²-4r+3r -1 = 0

4r(3r-1)+1(3r-1) = 0

(4r+1)(3r-1) = 0

r = -1/4 0r 1/3

Since a= 2/r then a = 2/(-1/4)or  a = 2/(1/3)

a = -8 or 6

All the geometric sequence can be found by simply knowing the formula for heir nth term. nth term of  a geometric sequence is expressed as

if r = -1/4 and a = -8

Tn = -8(-1/4)^(n-1)

if r = 1/3 and a = 6

Tn = 6(1/3)^(n-1)

The nth term of the sequence above can be used to find all the geometric sequence where n is the number of terms

A player tosses a die 6 times.If gets a number 6 Atleast two times he wins 2 dollars ,otherwise he looses 1 dollar.. Find the expectation of the amount if he wins

Answers

Answer:

[tex]E(x)=-0.2101[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value for a discrete variable is calculated as:

[tex]E(x)=x_1*p(x_1)+x_2*p(x_2)[/tex]

Where [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]x_2[/tex] are the values that the variable can take and [tex]p(x_1)[/tex] and [tex]p(x_2)[/tex] are their respective probabilities.

So, a player can win 2 dollars or looses 1 dollar, it means that [tex]x_1[/tex] is equal to 2 and [tex]x_2[/tex] is equal to -1.

Then, we need to calculated the probability that the player win 2 dollars and the probability that the player loses 1 dollar.

If there are n identical and independent events with a probability p of success and a probability (1-p) of fail, the probability that a events from the n are success are equal to:

[tex]P(a)=nCa*p^a*(1-p)^{n-a}[/tex]

Where [tex]nCa=\frac{n!}{a!(n-a)!}[/tex]

So, in this case, n is number of times that the player tosses a die and p is the probability to get a 6. n is equal to 6 and p is equal to 1/6.

Therefore, the probability  [tex]p(x_1)[/tex] that a player get at least two times number 6, is calculated as:

[tex]p(x_1)=P(x\geq2)=1-P(0)-P(1) \\\\P(0) =6C0*(1/6)^{0}*(5/6)^{6}=0.3349\\P(1)=6C1*(1/6)^{1}*(5/6)^{5}=0.4018\\\\p(x_1)=1-0.3349-0.4018\\p(x_1)=0.2633[/tex]

On the other hand, the probability [tex]p(x_2)[/tex] that a player don't get  at least two times number 6, is calculated as:

[tex]p(x_2)=1-p(x_1)=1-0.2633=0.7367[/tex]

Finally, the expected value of the amount that the player wins is:

[tex]E(x)=x_1*p(x_1)+x_2*p(x_2)\\E(x)=2*(0.2633)+ (-1)*0.7367\\E(x)=-0.2101[/tex]

It means that he can expect to loses 0.2101 dollars.

Answer:

Expected value = -0.2101

Step-by-step explanation :

Givena discrete variable the expected value is given as:

E(x) = xp(x) + yp(y)

Where x and y are the values the variables can assume, and p(x) and p(y) are their respective probabilities.

Probability that a player gets 6 at least twice = p(x ≥ 2) = 1 - p(x≤ 2)

= 1 - p(0) - p(1)

But p(0) = 0.3349

p(1) = 0.4018

p(x ≥ 2) = 1 - 0.3349 - 0.4018

= 0.2633

p(y) = 1 - p(x)

= 1 - 0.2633

= 0.7367

Expected value = 2(0.2633) + (-1)(0.7367)

= -0.2101

A loss of $0.2101 is expected.

Any line perpendicular to the line y = 2x +4 has a slope of -2.

You get y = 2x +4 so the slope is 2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is -1/2.

In a group of students , 12 read maths, 15 read statistics , 11 read physics, 4 read maths only , 7 read statistics only, 3 read statistics and physics only and 1 read maths and statistics only . What is the number of the students who were there altogether ( universal set)

Answers

Answer:

23 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In a group of students , 12 read maths, 15 read statistics , 11 read physics, 4 read maths only , 7 read statistics only, 3 read statistics and physics only and 1 read maths and statistics only.

Those that read maths only = 4, Those that read statistic only =7, Those that read statistics and physics only = 3, those that read maths and statistics only = 1.

Therefore those that read all three subjects = 15 - 7 - 3 - 1 = 4

Those that read maths and physics only = 12 - 4 - 4 - 1 = 3

Those that read physics only = 11 - 3 - 4 - 3 = 1

The number students = 4 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 23 students

Find Four Solutions For the following Linear equations in two variables: y = 5x

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find solutions to the equation, choose any value for x, substitute into the equation and evaluate for y, that is

x = - 1 → y = 5(- 1) = - 5 ⇒ (- 1, - 5 )

x = 0 → y = 5(0) = 0 ⇒ (0, 0 )

x = 1 → y = 5(1) = 5 ⇒ (1, 5 )

x = 5 → y = 5(5) = 25 ⇒ (5, 25 )

Thus 4 solutions are

(- 1, - 5), (0, 0), (1, 5), (5, 25)

Students in a school are asked to pick either football, rugby or tennis to play in their lessons. the number of students who picked football and rugby are in the ratio of 4:3 the number of students who picked rugby and tennis in the ratio of 9:19 57 students picked tennis work out how many student picked football

Answers

Answer: 36 Students picked football

Step-by-step explanation: When calculating values by the use of given ratios, it is important to note that the ratio of one value as compared to the other is the same as the actual value compared to the other.

The ratio of students who picked rugby and tennis is given as ratio 9 : 19, which means for every 28 students (that was derived by 9 + 19), 9 would choose rugby and 19 would choose tennis. However, we have been given the total number of students who chose tennis as 57, hence the value 57 would now replace the ratio of 19. However the total number of those who chose rugby is not yet known, so we can write out an equation as shown below;

19/28 = t/x

Where t is the number of tennis players as represented by ratio 19 and x is the total number of both tennis and rugby players as represented by 28.

By cross multiplication we now have

19 * x = 28 * 57

x = (28 * 57)/19

x = 1596/19

x = 84

If a total of 84 students play both rugby and tennis, and 57 of them play only tennis, then the number of rugby players is derived as

r = x - t

r = 84 - 57

r = 27

Having determined that 27 students played rugby, and the ratio of football to rugby players is given as 4 : 3, the relationship can be mathematically represented as follows;

3/7 = r/y

Where r is the total number of rugby players and y is the total number of both football and rugby players

3/7 = 27/y

By cross multiplication you now have

3 * y = 7 * 27

y = (7 * 27)/3

y = 189/3

y = 63

If the total number of football and rugby players is 63 and out of these 27 play rugby only, then the number of football players is derived as;

f = y - r

f = 63 - 27

f = 36

Therefore the number of students who chose football is 36
