The sum of three terms in AP is 15. If the first two terms are each decreased by 1 and the last is increased by 1 then the resulting terms are in GP. find the numbers.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3, 5, ,7 or 9, 5, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three terms in AP be a - d, a & a + d

where a = First term and d = Common difference.

Condition 1: sum of three terms in AP is 15.

a - d + a + a + d = 15

3a = 15

a = 15/3

a = 5

Condition 2: When first two terms are each decreased by 1 and the last is increased by 1 then new terms so obtained will be as follows:

a - d - 1, a - 1, a + d + 1

These terms are in G.P.

[tex] {(a - 1)}^{2} = (a - d - 1)(a + d + 1) \\ \\ {(5 - 1)}^{2} = (5 - d - 1)(5 + d + 1) \\ \\ {(4)}^{2} = (4 - d)(6 + d) \\ \\ 16 = 24 + 4d - 6d - {d}^{2} \\ \\ 0 = 8 - 2d - {d}^{2} \\ \\ {d}^{2} + 2d - 8 = 0 \\ \\ {d}^{2} + 4d - 2d - 8 = 0 \\ \\ d(d + 4) - 2(d + 4) = 0 \\ \\ (d + 4)(d - 2) = 0 \\ \\ d + 4 = 0 \: \: or \: \: d - 2 = 0 \\ \\ d = - 4 \: \: or \: \: d = 2 \\ \\ when \: d = - 4 \\ \\ a - d = 5 - ( - 4) = 9 \\ a = 5 \\ a + d = 5 - 4 = 1 \\ \\ when \: d = 2 \\ a - d = 5 - 2 = 3 \\ a = 5 \\ a + d = 5 + 2 = 7 \\ \\ thus \: three \: terms \: in \: AP \: are: \\9, \: 5, \: 1 \: \: or \: \: 3, \: 5, \: 7[/tex]

Solve this system of equations using the Substitution method. Don't forget to write your final answer as a coordinate point. You must show all your work.

3x + y = -2

y = 2x + 3

Answers

The solution to the system of equations expressed as a coordinate point is [tex](x.y)=(-1,1)[/tex]

To solve the system

[tex]3x + y = -2\\y = 2x + 3[/tex]

Note that [tex]y[/tex] is already made subject of formula in [tex]y = 2x + 3[/tex]. So substitute the value for [tex]y[/tex] into [tex]3x + y = -2[/tex] to eliminate [tex]y[/tex] and leave us with an equation with [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]3x + y = -2\\3x + (2x+3) = -2\\3x+2x+3=-2\\3x+2x=-2-3\\5x=-5\\\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-5}{5}\\x=-1[/tex]

Substitute this value of [tex]x[/tex] into [tex]y = 2x + 3[/tex] to get the value of [tex]y[/tex]

[tex]y = 2(-1) + 3\\y=-2+3\\y=1[/tex]

As a hurricane approaches, the air temperature changes −7.8°F every hour.

Which value represents the change in air temperature over 1.25 hours?


−9.75°F

−9.05°F

−6.55°F

−6.24°F

Answers

The change in air temperature over 1.25 hours is -9.75°F

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b;

where y, x are variables,  m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

As a hurricane approaches, the air temperature changes −7.8°F every hour. The amount of change after 1.25 hours is:

Change = −7.8°F every hour * 1.25 hours

Change = -9.75°F

Therefore the change in air temperature over 1.25 hours is -9.75°F

The P-value is __________, rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimal places).

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the p-value is of 0.5975.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the proportions are equal, that is, their subtraction is 0, hence:

[tex]H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if they are different, that is, their subtraction is not 0, hence:

[tex]H_1: p_1 - p_2 \neq 0[/tex]

The sample sizes and proportions are given by:

[tex]n_1 = 631, p_1 = \frac{133}{631} = 0.2108[/tex]

[tex]n_2 = 121, p_2 = \frac{23}{121} = 0.1901[/tex]

The standard errors are given by:

[tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.2108(0.7892)}{631}} = 0.0162[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1908(0.8092)}{121}} = 0.0357[/tex]

For the distribution of differences, the estimate and the standard error are:

[tex]\overline{p} = p_1 - p_2 = 0.2108 - 0.1901 = 0.0207[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.0162^2 + 0.0357^2} = 0.0392[/tex]

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{s}[/tex]

In which [tex]p = 0[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

Then:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.0207 - 0}{0.0392}[/tex]

[tex]z = 0.528[/tex]

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, the p-value is of 0.5975.

PLEASE HELP FAILING ...A random variable x has a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 3.1. Random samples of size 40 are drawn, and the sample mean calculated each time. What is the probability that, for a given sample, is 21?

Answers

The sample sizes are quite large, so the central limit theorem applies. (It typically does as soon as the sample size exceeds 30 or so.) This means that the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed with the same mean 22 but standard deviation 3.1/√40 ≈ 0.4902.

Now, if the question is asking about the probability of the sample mean being an exact number, that probability would be zero.

But if you meant to ask something else, like "what is the probability that the sample mean is less than 21?" then we would have a non-zero probability. In this particular case, if Y is a random variable for the sample mean, then

Pr[Y < 21] = Pr[(Y - 22)/(3.1/√40) < (21 - 22)/(3.1/√40)]

… ≈ Pr[Z < -2.0402]

… ≈ 0.0207

A train leaves a point A at 5 pm and reach another point B at 11 pm. Another train leaves point B at 7 pm and reach point A at 10 pm. At what point will the two trains meet?

Answers

Answer: I think the two trains meet at 9pm

Explanation: A=train a B=train b

If A is traveling for 6 hours and B is traveling for 3 hours, then you minus 3 hours from A, so you are left with 3 hours. Convert that into time, and you are left with 9pm!

Hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

let's think this through.

train a goes from A to B in 6 hours. that means with a speed of 1/6 / hour.

train b goes from B to A in 3 hours, so it is twice as fast as train a = 2/6 / hour.

when train b leaves B (at 7pm), train a was already traveling for 2 hours (1/3 of the whole trip) leaving it with 4 hours to go (2/3 if the distance).

that means that at that point now both trains are moving against each other with a relative speed of 3 times the

speed of a (the original speed of a plus the double speed of b).

this is the same as one train standing, and the other going the whole distance with 3 times the speed of a.

the whole distance is 2/3 of AB.

the speed is 3/6 / hour = 1/2 / hour.

so, a single train with that speed would cover the total distance AB in 2 hours. or half of the distance in 1 hour.

the question now, how long for 2/3 of AB.

the distances relate by a factor :

1/2 × f = 2/3

f = 2/3 / 1/2 = 2/3 × 2/1 = 4/3

now we need to multiply also the time in the distance/time speed ratio by this factor.

therefore, 2/3 of the total distance is done in 1×4/3 = 4/3 of an hour.

that means both trains meet after 4/3 of an hour after 7pm.

that is 7pm plus 1 hour and 20 minutes giving us 8:20pm.
