Answer 2

Final answer:

The sum of the first and twelfth terms of an arithmetic progression, whose first 12 terms sum to 156, is 26. This is determined by using the arithmetic progression sum formula and understanding that the sum of equidistant terms from the beginning and end of the series is constant.

Explanation:

To determine the sum of the first and twelfth terms of an arithmetic progression (AP) given the sum of the first 12 terms, we can use the properties of AP. The sum of an arithmetic progression can be expressed using the formula Sn = n/2(2a + (n-1)d), where Sn is the sum of the first n terms, a is the first term, n is the number of terms, and d is the common difference.

For this question, the sum of the first 12 terms (S12) is given as 156, and we want to find the sum of the first and twelfth terms. By properties of AP, the sum of equidistant terms from the beginning and end (first and last terms in this case) is the same. So the sum of the first and twelfth terms is equal to the sum of the second and eleventh terms, and so on. This sum is consistent and equals a + a + 11d, which simplifies to 2a + 11d.

Since S12 = 12/2(2a + 11d) and we know S12 = 156, we can simplify the formula to get 156 = 6(2a + 11d). However, to solve for 2a + 11d directly, we do not need the value of d; we only need the fact that the sum of the first and last terms will be constant and equal to the sum of 2a + 11d. Therefore, the sum of the first and twelfth terms is 156/6, which equals 26.

A homeowner has 5 cherry tomato plants in her garden. Over the course of the season the yields (in pints of tomatoes per plant) are: Plant 1 2 3 4 5 Yield 4 3.5 4.5 4.2 3.8 What is the average yield per plant, and what is the standard deviation (to two decimal places)? Average:

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5

The average yield per plant is 4.00 pints, and the standard deviation is approximately 0.35 pints.

To calculate the average yield per plant:

1. Add up all the yields: 4 + 3.5 + 4.5 + 4.2 + 3.8 = 19.0 pints.

2. Divide the total yield by the number of plants (5): 19.0 / 5 = 3.8 pints per plant.

To calculate the standard deviation:

1. Find the mean (average) yield per plant, which we already calculated as 3.8 pints.

2. Calculate the squared differences from the mean for each yield:

  - Plant 1: [tex](4 - 3.8)^2[/tex] = 0.04

  - Plant 2:[tex](3.5 - 3.8)^2[/tex] = 0.09

  - Plant 3: [tex](4.5 - 3.8)^2[/tex] = 0.49

  - Plant 4:[tex](4.2 - 3.8)^2[/tex] = 0.16

  - Plant 5:[tex](3.8 - 3.8)^2[/tex] = 0

3. Calculate the average of these squared differences: (0.04 + 0.09 + 0.49 + 0.16 + 0) / 5 = 0.156.

4. Take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation: √0.156 ≈ 0.35 pints.

The average yield per plant provides a measure of the central tendency of the data set, indicating the typical yield for one plant.

The standard deviation measures the spread or variability of the data points around the mean. A smaller standard deviation indicates that the data points are closer to the mean, while a larger standard deviation indicates more variability. In this case, the standard deviation of approximately 0.35 pints suggests that the yields are relatively close to the average of 3.8 pints per plant, with minimal variability.

Answer:

jump discontinuity at x = 0; point discontinuities at x = –2 and x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can see that there is a whole in the graph at x=-2.

This is referred to as a point discontinuity.

Similarly, there is point discontinuity at x=8.

We can see that both one sided limits at these points are equal but the function is not defined at these points.

At x=0, there is a jump discontinuity. Both one-sided limits exist but are not equal.

The accurate discontinuities for the graph that we have here is jump discontinuity at x = 0; point discontinuities at x = –2 and x = 8.

What is a discontinuity in a graph?

This is the point in the graph where the values that are supposed to be in the equation would have to jump instead of being continuous. This is the point where there are broken lines.

Find the volume of the basketball in terms of pi. The diameter across the circl is 28cm

Answers

Answer:

10976π/3 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 π r³

where r is the radius (half the diameter).

The diameter is 28 cm, so the radius is 14 cm.

V = 4/3 π (14 cm)³

V = 10976π/3 cm³

Final answer:

The volume of a basketball with a diameter of 28 cm is 4,304π cm³ when expressed in terms of π.

Explanation:

To find the volume of a basketball in terms of π (pi), we start by noting that the formula for the volume of a sphere is V = ⅔πr³, where r is the radius of the sphere. Given that the diameter of the basketball is 28 cm, we will first find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2, which gives us a radius of 14 cm. We then plug this into the formula:

V = ⅔π(14 cm)³

After simplifying, we get:

V = ⅔π(2744 cm³)

And finally, the volume V in terms of π is:

V = 4,304π cm³

The image shows a geometric representation of the function f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 3 written in standard form. What is this function written in vertex form?

f(x) = (x + 2)^2 + 3

f(x) = (x^ + 2x)^2 + 3

f(x) = (x + 1)^2 + 2

f(x) = (x + 3)^2 + 2x

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = (x + 1)² + 2 in vertex form ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to find the vertex form the standard form

- Standard form ⇒ x² + bx + c, where a , b , c are constant

- Vertex form ⇒(x - h)² + k, where h , k are constant and  (h , k) is the

  vertex point (minimum or maximum)  of the function

- At first we must find h and k

- By equating the two forms we can find the value of h and k

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x² + 2x + 3 ⇒ standard form

∵ f(x) = (x - h)² + k ⇒ vertex form

- Put them equal each other

∴ x² + 2x + 3 = (x - h)² + k ⇒ open the bracket power 2

∴ x² + 2x + 3 = x² - 2hx + h² + k

- Now compare the like terms in both sides

∵ 2x = -2hx ⇒ cancel x from both sides

∴ 2 = -2h ⇒ divide both sides by -2

∴ -1 = h

∴ The value of h is -1

∵ 3 = h² + k

- Substitute the value of h

∴ 3 = (-1)² + k

∴ 3 = 1 + k ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 2 = k

∴ The value of k = 2

- Lets substitute the value of h and k in the vertex form

∴ f(x) = (x - -1)² + 2

∴ f(x) = (x + 1)² + 2

* f(x) = (x + 1)² + 2 in vertex form

A beach ball rolls off a cliff and onto the beach. The height, in feet, of the beach ball can be modeled by the function h(t)=64–16t^2, where t represents time, in seconds.

What is the average rate of change in the height, in feet per second, during the first 1.25 seconds that the beach ball is in the air?

Answers

You are given h(t) = 64–16t^2.

You need to find h(1.25).

Set up:

h(1.25) = 64 - 16(1.25)^2

Take it from here.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of a beach ball rolling off a cliff as a function of time

h = 64 — 16t²

We want to find the average change in height when t = 1.25s

The rate of change of height is the differentiation of the height I.e

∆h/∆t → dh/dt

Therefore

h = 64 — 16t².

Therefore

Differential of a constant is zero

dh/dt = —32t

At t = 1.25s

dh/dt = —32(1.25)

dh/dt = —40 ft/s

So, the height is reducing at a rate of 40ft in every seconds.

You must imagine that you are rolling one die then the other (rather than how people "normally" roll both simultaneously). In the 36 empty boxes in your grid below the column numbers and to the right of the row numbers, put the sums of rolling the die at the top of the column + its corresponding die from the row (for example, use your fingers to match column number 4, say, with row 4 to get a sum of 8).

Q13. y = sin(2x – π/2); y = - 2cos2x  

Q14. y = 2sin2x -1; y = -2cos(2x – π/2) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 13

(A) Sine function

y = a sin[b(x - h)] + k

y = a sin(bx - bh) + k; bh = phase shift

(1) Amp = 1; a = 1

(2) The graph is symmetrical about the x-axis. k = 0.

(3) Per = π. b = 2

(4) Phase shift = π/2.  

2h =π/2

h = π/4

The equation is

y = sin[2(x – π/4)} or

y = sin(2x – π/2)

B. Cosine function

y = a cos[b(x - h)] + k

y = a cos(bx - bh) + k; bh = phase shift

(1) Amp = 1; a = 1

(2) The graph is symmetrical about the x-axis. k = 0.

(3) Per = π. b = 2

(4) Reflected across x-axis, y ⟶ -y

The equation is y = - 2cos2x  

Question 14

(A) Sine function

(1) Amp = 2; a = 2

(2) Shifted down 1; k = -1

(3) Per = π; b = 2

(4) Phase shift = 0; h = 0

The equation is y = 2sin2x -1

(B) Cosine function

a = 2, b = -1; b = 2

Phase shift = π/2; h = π/4

The equation is

y = -2cos[2(x – π/4)] – 1 or

y = -2cos(2x – π/2) - 1

# x(n-1) is the previous term ⇒ (n-1)

# x(n-2) is the term before that ⇒ (n-2)

- Example: the 8th term is  the 7th term plus the 6th term:

 x(8) = x(7) + x(6)

# Note: When we take any two consecutive Fibonacci Numbers,

 their ratio is very close to the Golden Ratio φ

- The Golden Ratio φ is approximately 1.618034...

- We can calculate any Fibonacci Number using the Golden Ratio:

  x(n) = [φ^n - (1 - φ)^n]/√5

- The answer is a whole number, exactly equal to the addition of the

  previous two terms.

# There is an interesting patterns in Fibonacci sequence:

  every nth number is a multiple of x(n)

- Example:

* x3 = 2 ⇒ every 3rd number is a multiple of 2 (2, 8, 34, 144, 610, ...)

* x4 = 3 ⇒ Every 4th number is a multiple of 3 (3, 21, 144, ...)

* x5 = 5 ⇒ Every 5th number is a multiple of 5 (5, 55, 610, ...)

Final answer:

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers important in mathematics and nature, introduced to European mathematics by Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci. It describes various natural phenomena, appears in plants' growth patterns, contributes to arts and sciences, and has practical uses in algorithms and market analysis.

Explanation:

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where a number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. Starting with 0 and 1, the sequence goes 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so forth. This mathematical concept was brought to European mathematics by Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci. He described this sequence in his book 'Liber Abaci' in 1202, although the sequence had been previously described in Indian mathematics.

The Fibonacci sequence is not just a number theory curiosity but has many applications and appears in the natural world. Notably, it is used to describe various phenomena in quantum computing, stock market analysis, and in nature, such as the branching of trees, the arrangement of leaves on a stem, or the fruitlets of a pineapple. In the context of spirals and botany, the mechanism of the spirals of plants follows the Fibonacci sequence, as explored in resources like 'Doodling in Math: Spirals, Fibonacci, and Being a Plant' by Vihart and 'How to Count the Spirals' by MoMath: National Museum of Mathematics.

The Fibonacci sequence also finds itself being applied to areas such as computer algorithms, especially in recursive algorithms where an operation needs to be repeated on a smaller scale. It also helps build a bridge between mathematics and the arts, showing how mathematics can inspire beautiful patterns and structures in man-made and natural art forms. The prevalence of the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio in aesthetic compositions demonstrates the union between form and number that fascinates both mathematicians and artists alike.

Solve the system of equations. y = 2x y = x 2 – 15


A. (–3, –6) and (–5, –10)

B. (3, 6) and (–5, –10)

C. (3, 6) and (5, 10)

D. (–3, –6) and (5, 10)

Answers

Answer:

D. (–3, –6) and (5, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The system has equations:

[tex]y=2x[/tex]...(1)

and

[tex]y=x^2-15[/tex]...(2)

Equate both equations;

[tex]x^2-15=2x[/tex]

Rewrite in standard form:

[tex]x^2-2x-15=0[/tex]

We factor to obtain:

[tex](x+3)(x-5)=0[/tex]

By the zero product principle;

[tex](x+3)=0,(x-5)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=-3,x=5[/tex]

When x=-3, y=2(-3)=-6

This yields the ordered pair (-3,-6).

When x=5, y=2(5)=10

This yields the ordered pair (5,10).

The correct choice is D.

Which set of steps could be used to solve this story problem? A garden has 7 rows of plants. The first 5 rows are vegetables. The last two rows are flowers. Each row of vegetables has 3 yellow squash plants and 4 green squash plants. How many squash plants are in the garden? A. Multiply 7 times 3. Multiply 7 times 4. Add the two products. B. Multiply 5 times 3. Multiply 5 times 4. Add the two products. C. Add 7 and 5. Multiply by 3. Add the product to 4. D. Add 3 and 4. Multiply by 5. Add the product to 7.

Answers

Answer:

B. Multiply 5 times 3. Multiply 5 times 4. Add the two products

Step-by-step explanation:

Right from the start the question is only asking for squash plants so the other two rows don't need to be counted.

7-2 = 5

In each row there's 3 yellow squash = 5*3 = 15

And 4 green squash = 5*4 = 20

which means there's 35 squash total in the garden.
