0,7,14,21 What is the next number? What is the 1000th term?
0,7,14,21 What is the next number? What is the 1000th term? We're adding 7 to the last term, so we get a next term of: 21 + 7 = [B]28 [/B] For our nth term, we notice a pattern for the nth term of: 7n - 7 [LIST] [*]n = 1 --> 7(1) - 7 = 0 [*]n = 2 --> 7(2) - 7 = 7 [*]n = 3 --> 7(3) - 7 = 14 [/LIST] For n = 1000, we have: 7(1000) - 7 = 7000 - 7 = [B]6993[/B]

8,11,14,17,20 What is the next number? What is the 150th term?
8,11,14,17,20 What is the next number? What is the 150th term? We're adding by 3 to the last number in the sequence, so we have the next number as: 20 + 3 = [B]23 [/B] For the nth term, we have a formula of this: 3n + 5 3(1) + 5 = 8 3(2) + 5 = 11 3(3) + 5 = 14 With n = 150, we have: 3(150) + 5 = 450 + 5 = [B]455[/B]

A ball was dropped from a height of 6 feet and began bouncing. The height of each bounce was three-fourths the height of the previous bounce. Find the total vertical distance travelled by the all in ten bounces. The height of each number bounce (n) is shown as: h(n) = 6(0.75)^n We want to find h(10) h(n) = 6(0.75)^n Time Height 0 6 1 4.5 2 3.375 3 2.53125 4 1.8984375 5 1.423828125 6 1.067871094 7 0.8009033203 8 0.6006774902 9 0.4505081177 10 0.3378810883 Adding up each bounce from 1-10, we get: 16.98635674 Since vertical distance means both [B]up and down[/B], we multiply this number by 2 to get: 16.98635674 * 2 = 33.97271347 Then we add in the initial bounce of 6 to get: 33.97271347 + 6 = [B]39.97271347 feet[/B]

A lottery offers 1 $1000 prize and 5 $100 prizes. 1000 tickets are sold. Find the expectation if a person buys 1 ticket for $5. Set up the expected values E(x): for the 1,000 price: E(x) = (1000 - 5) * 1/1000 = 995/1000 For the 5 $100 prizes: E(x) = (100 - 5) * 5/1000 = 475/1000 For the losing ticket. With 6 winning tickets, we have 1000 - 6 = 994 losing tickets: E(x) = -3 * 994/1000 = -2982/1000 We get our total expected value by adding all of these expected values up. Since they all have the same denominator, we add numerators: E(x) = (995 + 475 - 2982)/1000 E(x) = -1512/1000 E(x) = [B]-1.51[/B]

David has b dollars in his bank account; Claire has three times as much money as David. The sum of their money is $240. How much money does Claire have? David has b Claire has 3b since three times as much means we multiply b by 3 The sum of their money is found by adding David's bank balance to Claire's bank balance to get the equation: 3b + b = 240 To solve for b, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=3b%2Bb%3D240&pl=Solve']we type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get: b = 60 So David has 60 dollars in his bank account. Therefore, Claire has: 3(60) = [B]180[/B]

Ethan has $9079 in his retirement account, and Kurt has $9259 in his. Ethan is adding $19per day, whereas Kurt is contributing $1 per day. Eventually, the two accounts will contain the same amount. What balance will each account have? How long will that take? Set up account equations A(d) where d is the number of days since time 0 for each account. Ethan A(d): 9079 + 19d Kurt A(d): 9259 + d The problems asks for when they are equal, and how much money they have in them. So set each account equation equal to each other: 9079 + 19d = 9259 + d [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=9079%2B19d%3D9259%2Bd&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get [B]d = 10[/B]. So in 10 days, both accounts will have equal amounts in them. Now, pick one of the account equations, either Ethan or Kurt, and plug in d = 10. Let's choose Kurt's since we have a simpler equation: A(10) = 9259 + 10 A(10) = $[B]9,269 [/B] After 10 days, both accounts have $9,269 in them.

Explain the steps you would take to find an equation for the line perpendicular to 4x - 5y = 20 and sharing the same y-intercept Get this in slope-intercept form by adding 5y to each side: 4x - 5y + 5y = 5y + 20 Cancel the 5y's on the left side and we get: 5y + 20 = 4x Subtract 20 from each side 5y + 20 - 20 = 4x - 20 Cancel the 20's on the left side and we get: 5y = 4x - 20 Divide each side by 5: 5y/5 = 4x/5 - 4 y = 4x/5 - 4 So we have a slope of 4/5 to find our y-intercept, we set x = 0: y = 4(0)/5 - 4 y = 0 - 4 y = -4 If we want a line perpendicular to the line above, our slope will be the negative reciprocal: The reciprocal of 4/5 is found by flipping the fraction making the numerator the denominator and the denominator the numerator: m = 5/4 Next, we multiply this by -1: -5/4 So our slope-intercept of the perpendicular line with the same y-intercept is: [B]y = -5x/4 - 4[/B]

Given that E[Y]=2 and Var [Y] =3, find E[(2Y + 1)^2]
Given that E[Y]=2 and Var [Y] =3, find E[(2Y + 1)^2] Multiply through E[(2Y + 1)^2] = E[4y^2 + 4y + 1] We can take the expected value of each term E[4y^2] + E[4y] + E[1] For the first term, we have: 4E[Y^2] We define the Var[Y] = E[Y^2] - (E[Y])^2 Rearrange this term, we have E[Y^2] = Var[Y] + (E[Y])^2 E[Y^2] = 3+ 2^2 E[Y^2] = 3+ 4 E[Y^2] = 7 So our first term is 4(7) = 28 For the second term using expected value rules of separating out a constant, we have 4E[Y] = 4(2) = 8 For the third term, we have: E[1] = 1 Adding up our three terms, we have: E[4y^2] + E[4y] + E[1] = 28 + 8 + 1 E[4y^2] + E[4y] + E[1] = [B]37[/B]

The domain of a relation is all even negative integers greater than -9. The range y of the relation
The domain of a relation is all even negative integers greater than -9. The range y of the relation is the set formed by adding 4 to the numbers in the domain. Write the relation as a table of values and as an equation. The domain is even negative integers greater than -9: {-8, -6, -4, -2} Add 4 to each x for the range: {-8 + 4 = -4, -6 + 4 = -2. -4 + 4 = 0, -2 + 4 = 2} For ordered pairs, we have: (-8, -4) (-6, -2) (-4, 0) (-2, 2) The equation can be written: y = x + 4 on the domain (x | x is an even number where -8 <= x <= -2)
