Calculate a5 for the geometric sequence in which a1=1600 and the common ratio is 3/4.

Final answer:

For two independent events A and B, the conditional probability P(A|B) is equal to the probability of A. Since P(A) is given as 0.40 and the events are independent, P(A|B) is also 0.40.

Explanation:

The question pertains to the concept of conditional probability for independent events in probability theory. When we have two independent events A and B, the conditional probability P(A|B), which is the probability of event A given that event B has occurred, is simply the probability of A, because the occurrence of B does not affect the probability of A when events are independent. This is expressed as P(A|B) = P(A).

Given P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.20, and knowing that A and B are independent, we can state that:

P(A\B) = P(A)

The probability that event A occurs given that event B has also occurred is 0.40, which is the original probability of A.

Answer:

L=$24.95 , G=$12.75

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a classic system of equations problem.  There are several methods of solving these problems, because of the circumstances and values given I think it's best to use the elimination method.  The elimination method attempts to cancel out a variable by subtracting one equation from another.  

The first statement Marie received an order of 5 trays of lasagna and 3 trays of garlic bread for a total of $163.  I'm going to use "L" for lasagna and "G" for garlic bread.  Therefore, the equation for the scenario above is:

[tex]5L+3G=163[/tex]

In the second statement Marie received an order of 4 trays of lasagna and 4 trays of garlic bread and so:

[tex]4L+4G=150.80[/tex]

Now we cannot use the elimination method directly because equation 1 and equation 2 do not have any coefficients in common.  However, we can eliminate "G" by first multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 3.  We are doing this because those are the coefficients of the other equation, and thus will return a common value as such:

Equation 1:

[tex]4(5L+3G=163)\\20L+12G=652[/tex]

Equation 2:

[tex]3(4L+4G=150.80)\\12L+12G=452.40[/tex]

Now we can subtract equation 2 from equation 1 and eliminate the "G" variable as such:

[tex]20L+12G=652\\-(12L+12G=452.40)\\\\8L+0G=199.60\\\\8L=199.60\\\\[/tex]

By solving for L we obtain:

[tex]8L=199.60\\\\\frac{8L}{8}=\frac{199.60}{8}\\\\L=24.95[/tex]

Therefore, one tray of lasagna is $24.95.  Now that we know the value of "L" we can use any of our original equations to figure out what "G" is.  I'll use the first equation and so:

[tex]5L+3G=163\\\\5(24.95)+3G=163\\\\124.75+3G=163\\\\124.75-124.75+3G=163-124.75\\\\3G=38.25\\\\\frac{3G}{3}=\frac{38.25}{3}\\\\G=12.75[/tex]

And so the price of a tray of garlic bread is $12.75.  So the answer is the price of lasagna = $24.95  and garlic bread = $12.75

Answer:

52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve this problem.  Let put miles over time.  We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes.  We need to have the units the same.

--------------     = ---------------

150 minutes      60 minutes

Using cross products

130 * 60 = 150 x

The approximate solution for the system of equations 3x + 4y = 2 and 4x + y = –4 will be (–1.4, 1.5). Then the correct option is A.

The solution of the equation means the value of the unknown or variable.

The equations are given below.

3x + 4y = 2      …1

4x + y = -4       …2

From equation 2, we have

y = –4 – 4x

Put in equation 1, we have

3x + 4(–4 – 4x) = 2

3x – 16x – 16 = 2

–13x = 18

x = –18/13

x = –1.38

x ≈ –1.4

Then the value of y will be

y = –4 – 4(–1.38)

y = 1.52

y ≈ 1.5

Then the correct option is A.

Answer:

[tex] 38^\circ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the ground is horizontal and the tower is vertical. The guy wire, the ground, and the tower form a right triangle. The guy wire is the hypotenuse. I'll call the angle formed by the guy wire and the ground angle A. For angle A, the tower is the opposite leg. Since we know the opposite leg and the hypotenuse, we use the sine ratio.

[tex] \sin A = \dfrac{opp}{hyp} [/tex]

[tex] \sin A = \dfrac{13~m}{21~m} [/tex]

To find the measure of angle A, we use the inverse sine function.

[tex] A = \sin^{-1} \dfrac{13}{21} [/tex]

[tex] A = \sin^{-1} 0.6190476 [/tex]

[tex] A = 38^\circ [/tex]

The distance between the points (2,-3) and (0,8) can be calculated using the distance formula which derives from the Pythagorean theorem. After plugging in the coordinates into the formula, we get the distance approximately equal to 11.2.

To calculate the distance between the points (2,-3) and (0,8), we can make use of the distance formula derived from the Pythagorean theorem. The distance formula is: d = √[(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²].

Here, (x1, y1) = (2, -3) and (x2, y2) = (0, 8).

Now, plug the coordinates into the formula:

d = √[(0 - 2)² + (8 - -3)²]

d = √[(-2)² + (11)²]

d = √[4 + 121]

d = √125

So, the distance to the nearest tenth between (2,-3) and (0,8) is approximately 11.2.

Answer:

48 spices

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of spices each has is a multiple of 5, 3, and 4.

The number of spices each has is 5x, 3x, and 4x.

Pru has 5x spices.

Piper has 3x spices.

Pru has 24 more spices than Piper, so

5x = 3x + 24

2x = 24

x = 12

Phoebe has 4x spices, so Phoebe has

4(12) = 48

So remember that ratios are part to part, not part to whole like fractions are. In this case:

5 + 3 + 4 = 12

There are 12 parts total. This means that Pru has 5/12 of the spices, Piper has 3/12 (or 1/4) of the spices and Phoebe has 4/12 (or 1/3) of the spices. Now, we also know that Pru has 24 more spices than piper. With this info, we can set up our equation as (x = total amount of spices):

[tex]\frac{5}{12}x=\frac{3}{12}x+24[/tex]

From here we can solve for the total amount of spices. Firstly, subtract both sides by 3/12x:

[tex]\frac{2}{12}x=24[/tex]

Next, multiply both sides by 12/2 (or 6):

[tex]x=144[/tex]

There are a total of 144 spices. Now, to get Phoebe's amount of spices multiply 1/3 by 144:

[tex]\frac{144}{1}*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{144}{3}=48[/tex]

In short, Phoebe has 48 spices.

Explanation:

Trail mix costing: $2.45 per pound and $2.30 per pound must be mixed to get a 30-pound mix costing $2.35 per pound.

To calculate:

Let x = pounds of $2.45 mix and y = pounds of $2.30 mix.

Set up the system of equations: x + y = 30 and (2.45x + 2.30y)/30 = 2.35.

Solve the system to find x = 20 pounds of $2.45 mix and y = 10 pounds of $2.30 mix.

Segments AB and CD are parallel and 3 units apart.

Point D is 2 units left of point A, and point C is 2 units right of point B. The trapezoid is symmetrical about the line x = 3.5, so is isosceles.

Answer:

Isosceles trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

1)By definition, an isosceles trapezoid has two congruent sides and four vertices. According to the given coordinate points, what we have is an isosceles trapezoid. Graphically, we can say that:

[tex]\overline{AD} \cong \overline BC[/tex]

2) Proving with Analytical Geometry that

[tex]\overline{AD} \cong \overline BC[/tex]

[tex]D_{BC}=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(7-5)^{2}}\Rightarrow D_{BC}=\sqrt{9+4}\Rightarrow D_{BC}=\sqrt{13}\cong3.61\\D_{AD}=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(0-2)^{2}}\Rightarrow D_{AD}=\sqrt{9+4}\Rightarrow D_{AD}=\sqrt{13}\cong3.61[/tex]

2x = 15 - 3x -- add 3x to both sides

5x = 15 -- divide both sides by 5

x = 3 -- simplest form

For this case, we must find the value of "x" of the following equation:

[tex]2x = 15-3x[/tex]

We add 3x to both sides of the equation:

[tex]2x + 3x = 15-3x + 3x\\5x = 15[/tex]

We divide between 5 on both sides of the equation:

[tex]\frac {5x} {5} = \frac {15} {5}\\x = 3[/tex]

Thus, the value of x is 3.

As the angle Known to us is (2y-3)°

Now

∠B = (2y-3)°              (when two parralel lines are cut by another line then angles opposite are equal)

∠D=180-(2y-3)°           (Because angle to the line is same as B and as on one line total angle is 180° one part equals to B so other equals to 180-∠B)

Similarly

∠Q=∠D = 180-(2y-3)°

Because interior angles of a line cutting by a same line will be equal
