How I got that answer:
A sequence is geometric if you are able to divide any term over its prior one and get the same result each time. Note with something like choice A we have...
term2/term1 = 13/6 = 2.17 (approx) and term3/term2 = 19/13 = 1.46
the results 2.17 and 1.46 are not the same, so we can rule out choice A
---------
Choice B however, we have...
term2/term1 = 3/(-3) = -1
term3/term2 = -3/3 = -1
term4/term3 = 3/(-3) = -1
each time we get -1, so this is the common ratio. We can multiply each term by the common ratio -1 to get the next term, for instance,
term2 = (common ratio)*(term1) = -1*(-3) = 3
term3 = (common ratio)*(term2) = -1*3 = -3
and so on. This proves that sequence B is geometric. Sequences C and D are not geometric for similar reasoning to choice A.

Answers
Answer: [tex]143.99\ ft^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the lenght AC and BC of the triangle by applying these identities:
[tex]cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\\\sin\alpha=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
Then, AC is:
[tex]sin(45\°)=\frac{AC}{24}\\\\AC=24*sin(45\°)\\\\AC=16.97\ ft[/tex]
And BC is:
[tex]cos(45\°)=\frac{BC}{24}\\\\BC=24*cos(45\°)\\\\BC=16.97\ ft[/tex]
The area will be:

The prime polynomial out of the given options is 3x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x - 2.

A polynomial is considered prime if it cannot be factored into a product of lower degree polynomials with integral coefficients.
In this case, the polynomial 3x3 + 3x2 - 2x - 2 is a cubic polynomial and cannot be factored further, so it is prime.

The paragraph below comes from the rental agreement Susan signed when she opened her account at Super Video.
"All rentals are due back by midnight of the due date as printed on the transaction receipt. Any rental not received by midnight on the day it is due is subject to a late charge of $1.50 for each day it is late. Any rental not returned by the fifth day after the due date will be transferred to a sale. The Customer will then be required to pay the purchase price of the item in addition to five (5) days of late fees. The Customer will not be required to return the product once the total balance is paid."
As of today, Susan's movie is currently five days late. She knows that if she doesn't get the movie back tonight, she will be charged $9.99, the purchase price of the movie, plus five days' worth of late fees. A round trip cab ride to the video store will cost about $10.
Which of the following statements is true?
a.
Taking a cab to return the movie is the cheapest action. Susan should call a cab.
b.
It would cost about the same to keep or return the movie. Susan should keep it.
c.
Keeping the movie and paying the purchase price and late fees is the cheapest option.
d.
If Susan returns the movie, she should not have to pay late fees. She should return it.
ANSWER IS D
Answers
Answer:
c. Keeping the movie and paying the purchase price and late fees is the cheaper option.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. If Susan takes a cab and pays late fees
Cost of cab = $10.00
Late fees = 5 × 1.50 = 7.50
TOTAL = $17.50
2. If Susan keeps the movie
Purchase price of movie = $9.99
Late fees = 5 × 1.50 = 7.50
TOTAL = $17.49
Keeping the movie and paying the purchase price and late fees is the cheapest option.
a. is wrong. Taking a cab is the more expensive option.
b. is wrong. Susan contracted to return the movie, so she should try to do so.
c. is correct. This is a statement of fact, not a judgement call.
d. is wrong. Susan contracted to pay the late fees if she did not return the video (but she should still return it).

Answers
Answer:
[tex]h=7\sqrt{11}\ units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right tringle is the geometric mean of the two segments that it divides the hypotenuse into.
1st segment = 77 units
2nd segment = 7 units
Altitude = h units
So,

probability that the battery will last:(give 4 decimal places for
each answer)
a. Less than 250 hours ___________
b. Between 225 and 375 hours __________
c. More than 400 hours ______________
Answers
Answer:
a) 0.2514
b) 0.6827
c) 0.0918
Step-by-step explanation:
Average life span of batteries = u = 300 hours
Standard deviation = s = 75 hours
Given that the distribution of life span of batteries is normally distributed, so we can use z-score to find the said probabilities.
Part a) Less than 250 hours
In order to find the probability that the life span of battery will be less than 250 hours we need to convert x = 250 into z-score and then use z-score to find the probability from the z-table.
The formula for z-score is:
[tex]z=\frac{x-u}{s}[/tex]
Using the values, we get:
[tex]z=\frac{250-300}{75}=-0.67[/tex]
From the z-table or z-calculator the probability of z-score being less than - 0.67 comes out to be 0.2514
P(z < -0.67) = 0.2514
Thus, the the probability that the life span of battery will be less than 250 hours is 0.2514
Part b) Between 225 and 375 hours
In order to find the probability that the life span of battery will be between 225 and 375 hours we need to convert them into into z-scores and then use z-score to find the probability from the z-table.
225 into z-score will be:
[tex]z=\frac{225-300}{75}=-1[/tex]
375 into z-score will be:
[tex]z=\frac{375-300}{75}=1[/tex]
Thus, from the z-table we now need to find that probability of z-score being in between -1 and 1. From the z-table this value comes out to be:
P(-1 < z < 1 ) = 0.6827
Thus, the probability that the life span of battery will be between 225 and 375 hours is 0.6827
Part c) More than 400 hours
In order to find the probability that the life span of battery will be more than 400 hours we need to convert x = 400 into z-score and then use z-score to find the probability from the z-table.
The formula for z-score is:
[tex]z=\frac{x-u}{s}[/tex]
Using the values, we get:
[tex]z=\frac{400-300}{75}=1.33[/tex]
From the z-table the probability of z score being more than 1.33 comes out to be:
P( z > 1.33) = 0.0918
Thus, the probability that the life span of battery will be more than 400 hours is 0.0918

Answers
Answer:

B = sin°-1(0.334686)
B = 0.321272 radian
B = (0.321272)*180/pi degrees = 19.55°
C = 180-32-19.55 = 128.45°
sin(32)/19 = sin(128.45)/ c
cross multiply
c sin(32) = 19 sin(128.45)

perform the indicated operation: (-1 1/2)(-3/2)
Answers
The operation (-1 1/2)(-3/2) gives 9/4 or 2 1/4 as a mixed number.
To perform the indicated operation: (-1 1/2)(-3/2), we need to multiply the two numbers.
First, convert the mixed number -1 1/2 to an improper fraction. It is -3/2 because 1 1/2 is equal to 3/2 and we keep the negative sign.Now, multiply the two fractions: -3/2 * -3/2.Since the signs are the same (both negative), the answer will be positive.Multiply the numerators: 3 * 3 = 9.Multiply the denominators: 2 * 2 = 4.So, the answer is 9/4, or 2 1/4 when converted to a mixed number.The sum of two numbers is 12, their product is 96.

[tex]x+y=12[/tex] -----> [tex]y=12-x[/tex] ------> equation A
[tex]xy=96[/tex] ----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B and solve for x
[tex]x(12-x)=96\\12x-x^{2}=96\\x^{2} -12x+96=0[/tex]
Solve the quadratic equation
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form [tex]ax^{2} +bx+c=0[/tex] is equal to
[tex]x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}[/tex]
in this problem we have

so
[tex]a=1\\b=-12\\c=96[/tex]
substitute
[tex]x=\frac{-(-12)(+/-)\sqrt{-12^{2}-4(1)(96)}} {2(1)}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{12(+/-)\sqrt{-240}} {2}[/tex]
Remember that
[tex]i^{2}=\sqrt{-1}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{12(+/-)\sqrt{240}i} {2}[/tex]

Answer:
The volume of cylinder = 540π inches²
Step-by-step explanation:
Points to remember
Volume of cylinder = πr²h
Where r - Radius of cylinder and
h - Height of cylinder
To find the volume of cylinder
Here r = 6 inches and height h = 15 inches
Volume = πr²h
= π * 6² * 15

The volume of cylinder = 540π inches²
Solve the equation by using the square root property.
2) (3z - 18)^2 +59 = 14
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Z = i √5/3 +36
The given equation (3z - 18)^2 + 59 = 14 has no real solution because after isolating and simplifying the squared term, we would be taking the square root of a negative number, which is not possible in the real number system.
To solve the equation (3z - 18)^2 + 59 = 14 using the square root property, follow these steps:
Start by isolating the squared term:
(3z - 18)^2 = 14 - 59
Calculate the right side:
(3z - 18)^2 = -45
Since the equation involves squaring resulting in a negative number, which is not possible in the set of real numbers, this equation has no real solution.
It is important to note that squaring a real number always results in a non-negative number, so a square equal to a negative number indicates there are no real solutions to the equation.
