5 , 5/2 , 5/4 ... find the 9th term round to the nearest tenth

To understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem means to view subtraction as finding the missing number in an addition problem.

In the example given, subtracting 10-8 means finding the number that needs to be added to 8 to make 10. This is essentially an addition problem with an unknown addend.

To solve the problem, one needs to think about what number added to 8 will result in 10. This can be done by counting up from 8 until you reach 10, which is a difference of 2. Therefore, 10-8=2, and the missing number is 2.

In general, to subtract any two numbers using this method, you can start with the smaller number and count up until you reach the larger number. The difference between the two numbers is the missing addend. For example, to subtract 15-7, you would start with 7 and count up to 15, which is a difference of 8. So 15-7=8.

As per the given volume, the new radius of the sphere is approximately 2.04 cm.

Let's first find the initial volume of the sphere. We know that the volume of a sphere is given by the formula V = (4/3)πr³, where V is the volume and r is the radius. Substituting the given values, we get:

V = (4/3)π(4³) = (4/3)π(64) = 268.08 cm³

Now, we can use the inverse proportionality between the volumes of the sphere and cone to find the new radius of the sphere. We know that the initial volume of the sphere (268.08 cm³) and the volume of the cone (48 cm³) are in inverse proportion to each other. This means that:

V(s) / V(c) = k

where k is a constant. We can find the value of k by substituting the initial volumes of the sphere and cone:

268.08 / 48 = k k = 5.584

Now, we can use this value of k to find the new radius of the sphere. We know that the new volume of the sphere is 6 cm³. This means that:

V(s) / V(c) = k

V(s) / 48 = 5.584

V(s) = 6 cm³

Substituting the values, we get:

6 / 48 = (4/3)πr³ / (4/3)π(4³)

Simplifying, we get:

r³ = 16/3

r = ∛(16/3)

We will factorize the numerator and then reduce this function.

=  [tex]\frac{x(x + 2) +3 (x + 2)}{x + 2}[/tex]

If we take the value of x as -2, both the numerator and denominator will be 0. Note that for x = -2, both the numerator and denominator will be zero. When both the numerator and denominator of a rational function become zero for a given value of x we get a discontinuity at that point. which means there is a hole at x = -2.

Now, when we reduce this function by canceling the common factor from the numerator and denominator we get the expression f(x) = x + 3.  If we use the value of x = -2 in the previous expression we get;

f(x) = x + 3 =  = -2 + 3

f(x) = 1

Therefore, there is a discontinuity (hole) at (-2, 1).

The probability that the mean speed of 20 randomly selected vehicles is between 35 and 40 mph is approximately 0.99997

A. To find the probability that the speed X of a randomly selected vehicle is between 35 and 40 mph, we need to standardize the values and use the standard normal distribution table.

We can standardize the values as follows:

[tex]z1 = \frac{(35 - 36.6)}{1.7} = -0.94[/tex]

[tex]z2 = \frac{(40 - 36.6)}{1.7} = 2.00[/tex]

Using the standard normal distribution table, we find the probability that a standard normal variable is between -0.94 and 2.00 to be approximately 0.7794.

B. To find the probability that the mean speed of 20 randomly selected vehicles is between 35 and 40 mph, we need to use the central limit theorem.

The central limit theorem tells us that the distribution of sample means will be approximately normal, with mean equal to the population mean and standard deviation equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.

Thus, the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means is:

u-X=u=36.6

And the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means is:

[tex]\frac{ σ}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{1.7}{\sqrt{20} } = 0.3808[/tex]

We can standardize the values using the formula:

[tex]z1 =\frac{35-36.6}{0.3808} = -4.21[/tex]

[tex]z2 =\frac{40-36.6}{0.3808} = 8.92[/tex]

we can find the probability that the standard normal variable is between -4.21 and 8.92 by finding the probability that it is greater than -8.92 (which is essentially 0) and subtracting the probability that it is greater than 4.21 from 1:

P(-4.21 < Z < 8.92) = 1 - P(Z > 4.21) = 1 - 0.00003 = 0.99997

Therefore, the probability that the mean speed of 20 randomly selected vehicles is between 35 and 40 mph is approximately 0.99997.

This indicates that the particle is accelerating due to gravity. At t=7, the rate at which the velocity is changing depends on the value of k, m, and g. This implies that the particle's acceleration may vary depending on these constants and time.

At time 0, the rate at which the velocity is changing can be found by taking the derivative of the velocity function with respect to time, t.

v(t) = (mg/k)(1-e^(-kt/m))

v'(t) = (mg/k)((ke^(-kt/m))/m)

Plugging in t=0 gives:

v'(0) = (mg/k)((k)/m) = g

Therefore, the rate at which the velocity is changing at time 0 is g.

At t=7, the rate at which the velocity is changing can also be found by taking the derivative of the velocity function with respect to time, t, and plugging in t=7:

v'(7) = (mg/k)((ke^(-7k/m))/m)

This value will depend on the specific values of k, g, and m that are not given in the question.

These rates of change tell us about the motion of the particle. If the rate of change of velocity is positive, the particle is accelerating. If it is negative, the particle is decelerating. If it is zero, the particle is moving at a constant velocity.

To find the probability of the event "the first die is 6 or the sum is 8," we need to count the number of outcomes that satisfy this event and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.

To find the probability of the event "the first die is 6 or the sum is 8," we need to consider the total possible outcomes when rolling two dice and the favorable outcomes for this event.

Total possible outcomes: 6 sides on each die, so there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes.

Favorable outcomes:
1. First die is 6: There are 6 possible outcomes (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), and (6,6).
2. Sum is 8: There are 5 possible outcomes (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), and (6,2).

However, (6,2) is counted twice, so we should subtract 1 from the total favorable outcomes: 6 + 5 - 1 = 10.

Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total possible outcomes = 10/36. Simplifying the fraction gives 5/18.

To graph and create a table for f(x) = 4/(x+2) + 2, we can start by making a table of values. To calculate the value of F(x) at each given x, we substitute the value of x into the function and simplify as follows,

At x = -4

F(x) = (4/(-4+2)) + 2 = -2 + 2 = 0

Therefore, F(-4) = 0.

At x = -3

F(x) = (4/(-3+2)) + 2 = undefined (division by zero)

Therefore, F(-3) is undefined.

At x = -2

F(x) = (4/(-2+2)) + 2 = undefined (division by zero)

Therefore, F(-2) is undefined.

At x = -1

F(x) = (4/(-1+2)) + 2 = 6

Therefore, F(-1) = 6.

At x = 0

F(x) = (4/(0+2)) + 2 = 10

Therefore, F(0) = 10.

At x = 1

F(x) = (4/(1+2)) + 2 = 4

Therefore, F(1) = 4.

At x = 2

F(x) = (4/(2+2)) + 2 = 2.67

Therefore, F(2) = 2.67.

At x = 3

F(x) = (4/(3+2)) + 2 = 2.4

Therefore, F(3) = 2.4.

At x = 4

F(x) = (4/(4+2)) + 2 = 2.17

Therefore, F(4) = 2.17.

Now we can plot these points on a coordinate plane and connect them to create the graph.

A vertical asymptote is a vertical line on a graph that the function approaches but never touches or crosses. It occurs when the denominator of a rational function (a function with a fraction of polynomials) becomes zero and the function becomes undefined at that point.

To find the equation of the line of intersection of two planes, we need to find the direction vector of the line. This can be done by taking the cross product of the normal vectors of the two planes.

Let the two planes be:
P1: 2x - y + 3z = 5
P2: x + 2y - 4z = -1
The normal vectors of these planes are:
n1 = <2, -1, 3>
n2 = <1, 2, -4>
Taking the cross product of these two vectors, we get:
n1 x n2 = <14, 10, 5>
This is the direction vector of the line of intersection.
To get the vector form of the equation, we need a point on the line. We can choose any point that lies on both planes. To make it easy, we can set z = 0 in both planes and solve for x and y.
From P1:
2x - y = 5
From P2:
x + 2y = -1
Solving these equations, we get:
x = -7/5
y = -3/5
So a point on the line is (-7/5, -3/5, 0).

y = tan (  x) - neither even or odd

b) y= sin (x) - symmetric about the origin

 y  = cos (x) - symmetric about tthe y-axis

y = tan (x) - does not have a point or line of symmetry

A) The following definitions can be used to  determine if a function is even or odd ...

If f(-x  ) = f (x ) for every x in the domain, the function is even.

If f(-x) =  -  f(x) for every x in the domain, t e function is odd

Using these definitions  , we can examine the following functions

y =  sin (x)

Because sin   (-x) = -sin(x) for any angle x, the function is odd.

y = cos  (x)

Cos  (-x) = cos (x) for any angle x, hence the function is even.

y = tan( x)

Tan(-x) = -tan(x) for every angle x.   Only if x does not equal ( n + 0.5), where n   is an integer, is the function even or odd.

B)

The line or  point of symmetry of a function is detrmined by whether it is even or odd...

The y -axis (x=0) is the line of symmetry for an even function.

The origin (0,0) is the point of symmetry for an odd function.

y = sin(x)     his is an odd function, so the point of symmetry is the origin (0,0).

y = cos(x) his is an even function, so the line of symmetry is the y-axis (x=0).

y = tan(x)

This is neither even nor odd, so it does not have a line or point of symmetry.

Answer: $13.39

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you take 25% off 21, by multiplying 21*.25 which is 5.25

next, subtract 5.25 from 21, which gets you 15.75

next, add the 15% off coupon, by multiplying 15.75*.15 which is 2.3625

last, subtract 2.3625 from 15.75, which gets you 13.3875, or $13.39 rounded

we can choose k = (m + Hn-1)/(O(n^3 log n^3)) to obtain the desired upper bound on Pr[Y ≥ k].

Assuming there are i non-empty bins so far, the probability that the next ball you throw will fall into an empty bin is (n-i)/n. This is because there are n bins in total, and i of them are already non-empty. Therefore, there are (n-i) empty bins left, and each has an equal probability of receiving the ball.

To find E[Y], we can use linearity of expectation. Let Yi be the number of balls we need to throw to hit the next empty bin after i bins have been filled. Then, we have:

Y = Y1 + Y2 + ... + Yn

We know that Y1 = m, since we need to throw m balls to fill the first bin. For i > 1, we have:

E[Yi] = 1/(n-i+1) + E[Yi-1]

The first term represents the probability of hitting an empty bin on the next throw, and the second term represents the expected number of throws we need after that happens. We can solve this recurrence relation by substitution:

E[Y2] = 1/(n-1) + E[Y1] = 1/(n-1) + m

E[Y3] = 1/(n-2) + E[Y2] = 1/(n-2) + 1/(n-1) + m

E[Y4] = 1/(n-3) + E[Y3] = 1/(n-3) + 1/(n-2) + 1/(n-1) + m

...

We can see a pattern emerging, where each term has an additional 1/(n-i) compared to the previous term. Therefore, we have:

E[Y] = m + 1/(n-1) + 1/(n-2) + ... + 1/n

= m + Hn-1

≈ m + ln(n) (where Hn-1 is the (n-1)th harmonic number)

To show that E[Y] = O(n log n), we can use the fact that the harmonic series diverges, but the sum of the first n terms is bounded by ln(n) + 1. Therefore, we have:

E[Y] ≈ m + ln(n) ≤ m + ln(n) + 1

= m + O(log n)

Since m is a constant, we can say that E[Y] = O(n log n).

Using Markov's inequality, we have:

Pr[Y ≥ k] ≤ E[Y]/k

Therefore, we want to find k such that:

E[Y]/k ≤ O(n^3 log n^3)

Substituting in the expression we found for E[Y], we have:

(m + Hn-1)/k ≤ O(n^3 log n^3)

Rearranging, we get:

k ≥ (m + Hn-1)/(O(n^3 log n^3))

Therefore, we can choose k = (m + Hn-1)/(O(n^3 log n^3)) to obtain the desired upper bound on Pr[Y ≥ k].

A Total of 144 small cups can be filled with the water from the cooler before it's empty.

The cooler has 4 1/2 gallons of water, which can be written as 9/2 gallons. Each small cup holds 1/32 gallon. To find the number of small cups that can be filled with the water from the cooler, we need to divide the total amount of water by the amount of water in each cup.

9/2 ÷ 1/32 = (9/2) * (32/1) = 144 small cups.

Therefore, 144 small cups can be filled with the water from the cooler before it's empty.
