Consider the following sequence of successive numbers of the 2k -th power: 1, 2²^k , 3²^k , 4²^ k , 5²^k , ... Show that the difference between the numbers in this sequence is odd for all k ∈ N.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between two consecutive numbers in this sequence would be something like:

(2n + 1)^(2*k) - (2n)^(2k)

(or in the other order, but is essentially the same)

where n is an integer number.

Then:

2*n is an even number

2*n + 1 is an odd number.

(2n)^(2k) = 2*(2^(2k-1)*n^(2k)) this will be even for any natural number k.

(2n + 1)^(2k)

Let's suppose that k = 1.

Then we have:

(2n + 1)^(2) = (2n + 1)*(2n + 1) = (2n)^2 + 4n + 1 = 2*(2n^2 + 2n) + 1

If (2n^2 + 2n) is an integer (and it is) we can rename it as N

(2n + 1)^(2) = 2*N + 1

It is still odd.

Now if k = 2, we will have:

(2n + 1)^(2*2) = (2n + 1)^(4)

And using what we found above, we can rewrite this as:

(2*N + 1)^2

And we know that this will be odd.

Then we can already see that:

(2n + 1)^(2k) will be odd for any value of k (where k is a natural number)

Then:

(2n + 1)^(2k) -  (2n)^(2k)

Is the difference between an odd number and an even number, and this will always be an odd number.

your company purchased a twelve-month insurance policy for $36,000 in January
whats the entry to record the monthly insurance expense in march

Answers

Answer:

Debit Insurance expense for $3,000

Credit Prepaid insurance for $3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the recording entry, the monthly insurance expense has to be calculated first as follows:

Monthly insurance expense = Prepaid insurance / n ............. (1)

Where;

Prepaid insurance = Insurance policy amount = $36,000

n = number of months = 12

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Monthly insurance expense = $36,000 / 12 = $3,000

Since the monthly insurance expense is $3,000, it implies that the insurance expense for March is $3,000.

the entry to record the monthly insurance expense in March will therefore look as follows:

Month      Account Title                     DR ($)                CR ($)              

March      Insurance expense          3,000

                    Prepaid insurance                                    3,000

A sample of n = 16 scores has a mean of M = 40 and a variance of s2 = 64. What is the estimated standard error for the sample mean?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]S.E = 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Mean = 40[/tex]

[tex]s^2 = 64[/tex] ----- variance

[tex]n = 16[/tex] ------------ sample

Required

Determine the S.E

The estimated standard error (S.E) for the sample mean is calculated using the following formula:

[tex]S.E = \frac{SD}{\sqrt n}[/tex]

Where

[tex]SD = Standard\ Deviation[/tex]

[tex]SD = \sqrt {s^2}[/tex]

[tex]SD = \sqrt {64}[/tex]

[tex]SD = 8[/tex]

So:

[tex]S.E = \frac{SD}{\sqrt n}[/tex]

[tex]S.E = \frac{8}{\sqrt{16}}[/tex]

[tex]S.E = \frac{8}{4}[/tex]

[tex]S.E = 2[/tex]

Hence: the estimated standard error for the sample mean is 2

answer is - 95, 40, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the interior angles of a triangle add up to be 180 degrees, I set up the equation like so:

(8x-1)+(3x + 4)+(3x + 9) = 180

=> 14x +12 = 180

=> 14x = 180-12

=> x = 168/14 = 12

now putting value of x = 12

we get---

8*12 -1 = 96-1 = 95

3*12 + 4 = 36+4 = 40

Michelle works in the mall and her hours increase during busy shopping times of the year. Michelle has a plan to

Show your work

II

Answers

Answer:

The total number of weeks Michelle needs to save is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Michelle plans to save $1185 in a number of weeks to determine later.

In the first 7 weeks, she will save $45 each week for a total of

$45 * 7 = $315

In the next 8 weeks, she will save $30 each week for a total of:

$30 * 8 = $240

During these 15 weeks, she has saved

$315 + $240 = $555

She still has a remaining $1185 - $555 = $630 to save.

Those $630 will be saved in a number of weeks at $45 per week, thus the number of weeks is:

$630 / $45 = 14 weeks

Total weeks = 15 + 14 = 29

The total number of weeks Michelle needs to save is 29.

Given: ΔABC
m∠1=m∠2
D∈ AC , BD = DC
m∠BDC=100°
Find: m∠A, m∠B, m∠C

Answers

Answer:

m∠A = 60°, m∠B = 80°, m∠C = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since BD = DC, the triangle BDC is isosceles, so

m∠C = m∠2

Having m∠BDC = 100°, we can find m∠C

m∠C = 1/2(180° - 100°) = 1/2(80°) = 40°

Finding angle B

m∠B = m∠1 + m∠2 = 2*m∠2= 2*40° = 80°

Finding angle A

m∠BDA = 180° - m∠BDC = 180° - 100° = 80°m∠A = 180° - (m∠1 + m∠BDA) = 180° - (40° + 80°) = 180° - 120° = 60°

Answer:

m<A=60 degrees, m<B=80 degrees, m<C=60 degrees.

A recent study reported that the prevalence of hyperlipidemia (defined as total cholesterol over 200) is 30% in children 2-6 years of age. If 12 children are analyzed.

Required:
a. What is the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic?
b. What is the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic?
c. How many would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0.7472

(b) 0.2397

(c) 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of children who are hyperlipidemic.

The proportion of children who are hyperlipidemic is, p = 0.30.

A random sample of n = 12 children are analyzed.

Every child is independent of the others to be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 12 and p = 0.30.

(a)

Compute the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq 3)=1-P(X<3)\\\\=1-\sum\limits^{2}_{0}{{12\choose x}(0.30)^{x}(0.70)^{12-x}}\\\\=1-0.25282\\\\=0.74718\\\\\approx 0.7472[/tex]

Thus, the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic is 0.7472.

(b)

Compute the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic as follows:

[tex]P(X=3)={12\choose 3}(0.30)^{3}(0.70)^{12-3}\\\\=220\times 0.027\times 0.040353607\\\\=0.23970042558\\\\\approx 0.2397[/tex]

Thus, the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic is 0.2397.

(c)

Compute the expected number of children who would meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia as follows:

[tex]E(X)=np=12\times 0.30=3.6[/tex]

Thus, 3.6 children would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia.

Answers

Answer:

18p^2-2p

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to distribute

2*9= 18, p*p= p^2 so 18p^2

Then

2*-1= -2 and you need to include the p so -2p

Answer: 18p²-2p

Working:

• We multiply everything inside the brackets by what is outside the brackets
- So, we multiply 9p - 1 by 2p
- To do 9p x 2p we multiply the coefficients first (the number before the letter), which gives us 18 (9 x 2)
- Then we multiply the letters, p x p which gives us p²
- Then add the two things together which gives us 18p²

• Then we do -1 x 2p, which we do in the same way as before
- This gives us -2p
- Using both of these we put them back together which gives us:

• 18p² - 2p
