In a sequence of numbers,
a₁ = -6, a3 = 4, a5 = 14, a6 = 19,
and a 24. Based on this
information, which equation
can be used to find the nth
term in the sequence, an?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation for the nth term in the sequence, we need to determine the pattern or rule that generates the sequence.
From the given information, we can see that the sequence is not arithmetic because the differences between consecutive terms are not constant. Instead, the sequence appears to be quadratic because the second difference between consecutive terms is constant.
Using the given values of a₁, a₃, and a₅, we can find the first few differences:
a₃ - a₁ = 4 - (-6) = 10
a₅ - a₃ = 14 - 4 = 10
So, the first difference is 10, which indicates a linear term in the equation for an. We can now use the given value of a₁ and the first difference to find the constant term in the quadratic equation. Let d be the common difference, then we have:
a₂ = a₁ + d = -6 + 10 = 4
a₄ = a₃ + d = 4 + 10 = 14
a₆ = a₅ + d = 14 + 10 = 24 - 1
a₇ = a₆ + d = 24 - 1 + 10 = 33
Now, we can find the second difference between consecutive terms:
a₄ - 2a₃ + a₂ = 14 - 2(4) + (-6) = 0
a₆ - 2a₅ + a₄ = 19 - 2(14) + 4 = -5
a₇ - 2a₆ + a₅ = 33 - 2(19) + 14 = 9
Since the second difference is constant (-5), this confirms that the sequence has a quadratic term in its equation. Let's assume the equation for the nth term is:
an = an² + bn + c
Substituting the values we know, we get three equations:
a₁ = a₁² + b₁ + c --> -6 = c
a₃ = a₃² + b₃ + c --> 4 = 9a + b + c
a₅ = a₅² + b₅ + c --> 14 = 25a + 5b + c
Solving this system of equations, we get:
a = 1/2, b = 19/2, and c = -6
Therefore, the equation for the nth term in the sequence is:
an = (1/2)n² + (19/2)n - 6.
If U = { 1 , 3 , 5 , 9 , 11 , 13 } , then which of the following are subsets of U ?
B = { 2 , 4 }
A = { 0 }
C = { 1 , 9 , 5 , 13 }
D = { 5 , 11 , 1 }
E = { 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 }
Answer:
c=(1,9,5,13)
D={5,11,1)
The set that represents the subset of the set U will be {1, 9, 5, 13} and {5, 11, 1}. Then the correct option is C and D.
What are Sets?Sets are groups of clearly specified components. The number of items in a finite set is denoted by a curly bracket.
If every member of set A is also a component of set B, then set B is a superset of set A, and set A is a subset of set B. A and B might be equal; if they are not, then A is a legitimate subset of B. Include refers to the property that one set is a subset of some other.
The set is given below.
U = {1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13}
Let's check all the options, then we have
A = {0}, the set does not have an 0 number. So, it is not a subset.
B = {2, 4}, the set does not have an even number. So, it is not a subset.
C = {1, 9, 5, 13}, the set has an odd number. So, it is a subset.
D = {5, 11, 1}, the set has an odd number. So, it is a subset.
E = {2, 3, 4, 5}, the set does not have an even number. So, it is not a subset.
The set that represents the subset of the set U will be {1, 9, 5, 13} and {5, 11, 1}. Then the correct option is C and D.

How long does it take for an investment of $6,400 to increase to $14,000 if
it is invested at 5% per year compounded continuously? Round to the
nearest tenth of a year.
An investment of $6,400 to increase to $14,000 if it is invested at 5% per year compounded continuously is ≈15.6
Define compound interest?
Compound interest is the interest imposed on a loan or deposit amount. It is the most commonly used concept in our daily existence. The compound interest for an amount depends on both Principal and interest gained over periods.Given that :
P = $ 6,400
Q = $ 14,000
r = 5%
Let P be the initial investment
r be the rate of interest
t be the time
Q be the increase amount
Q = P \(e^{rt} }\)
14,000 = 6,400 (\(e^{0.05t}\))
\(e^{0.05t}\) = \(\frac{14000}{6400}\)
\(e^{0.05t}\) = 2.187
Taking log on both sides , we get
0.05t = ln (2.187)
0.05t = 0.78
t = \(\frac{0.78}{0.05}\)
t ≈ 15.6

The correct statement regarding the inverse function of f(x) = 4x^4 is given as follows:
\(f^{-1}(x) = \pm \left(\frac{x}{4}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}\); f^(-1)(x) is not a function.
How to obtain the inverse function?The function in this problem is defined as follows:
f(x) = 4x^4.
To obtain the inverse of a function y = f(x), first the variables y and x are exchanged, as follows:
x = 4y^4.
Isolating the variable y, we have that:
y^4 = (x/4).
The inverse operation of the fourth power is the fourth root, hence:
\(y = \pm \sqrt[4]{\frac{x}{4}}\)
\(f^{-1}(x) = \pm \sqrt[4]{\frac{x}{4}}\)
\(f^{-1}(x) = \pm \left(\frac{x}{4}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}\)
The plus/minus symbol means that for each input of x, the inverse function gives two outputs, meaning that there are multiple outputs mapped to each input, and thus the inverse is not a function.
This means that the second statement is correct.

What is the probability that both events will occur? Two dice are tossed. Event A: the first die is a 5 or 6. Event B: The second die is not a 1
Answer: The probability that both events A and B will occur is 5/18 or 0.28.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the probability that both events A and B will occur, we need to calculate the probabilities of each event separately and then multiply them together.
Event A: The probability of rolling a 5 or 6 on the first die is 2 out of 6 (since there are two favorable outcomes out of six possible outcomes on a fair six-sided die). Therefore, the probability of event A is 2/6 or 1/3.
Event B: The probability of not rolling a 1 on the second die is 5 out of 6 (since there are five favorable outcomes out of six possible outcomes). Therefore, the probability of event B is 5/6.
To find the probability that both events A and B occur, we multiply the probabilities:
Probability(A and B) = Probability(A) * Probability(B) = (1/3) * (5/6) = 5/18.

Based on the given information, we have a square pyramid with points M and N being the midpoints of the edges of one face. and forms a parallelogram. Option D
Since the base of the pyramid is a square, the cross section will consist of a square shape. Additionally, since the slice is made through the midpoints of the edges of the face, the resulting cross section will have parallel sides.
Considering these characteristics, we can conclude that the shape of the resulting cross section is a parallelogram. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel. In this case, the opposite sides of the square cross section will be parallel, as the slice passes through the midpoints of the edges.

m varies directly as n, and m = 14 when n = 7. Write a direct proportion equation using the above information.
With constant of proportionality=2, the direct proportion equation for the given information is m = 2n.
What is a constant of proportionality?
A constant of proportionality is a value that relates two variables that are directly proportional to each other. In a direct proportion, if one variable (say, x) increases by a certain factor, then the other variable (say, y) also increases by the same factor. The constant of proportionality is the ratio of the two variables.
For example, if y varies directly with x, we can write:
y = kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
Now,
If m varies directly as n, then we can write:
m = k * n
where k is a constant of proportionality. To find the value of k, we can use the given information that m = 14 when n = 7:
14 = k * 7
Solving for k:
k = 14/7
k = 2
Substituting this value of k in the direct proportion equation:
m = 2n
Therefore,
the direct proportion equation for the given information is m = 2n.
