Answers
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually, the sequence is [tex]a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4}, ..., a_{n}[/tex] where n is a postive number.
From the question,
[tex]a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 5[/tex]
if n = 2 ;
[tex]a_{2} = a_{1} - 5[/tex]
[tex]a_{2} = 20 - 5 = 15\\[/tex]
Thus, we got [tex]a_{2} = 20[/tex].
if n = 3 ;
[tex]a_{3} = a_{2} - 5[/tex]
[tex]a_{3} = 15 - 5 = 10[/tex]
Thus, we got [tex]a_{3} = 10[/tex].
if n = 4 ;
[tex]a_{4} = a_{3} - 5[/tex]
[tex]a_{4} = 10 - 5 = 5[/tex]
Thus, we got [tex]a_{4} = 5[/tex].
***There are many ways to solve this question
example:
[tex]a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 5[/tex]
[tex]a_{n} - a_{n-1} = - 5[/tex]
Substitute n with 2, 3, 4
Then, we will get 3 equations.
Sum them up;
We will get
[tex]a_{4}-a_{3}+a_{3}-a_{2}+a_{2}-a_{1} = -15\\a_{4}-a_{1} = -15\\a_{4} = -15+20 = 5[/tex]

$7,900 for food. What percent of Jon's total income did he spend for food? *
25%
40%
50%
85%
Answers
Based on the information given the percent of Jon's total income did he spend for food is 25%.
Using this formula
Percent of total income=Amount spent for food/Total income last year
Where:
Amount spent for food=$7,900
Total income last year=$31,300
Let plug in the formula
Percent of total income=$7,900/$31,300
Percent of total income=25%
Inconclusion the percent of Jon's total income did he spend for food is 25%.

The diagonal of an isosceles trapezoid with angle to the base is equal to 30. Find the length of the height of the trapezoid if it is known that the midline of this trapezoid is equal to 8 cm.
Answers
Answer:
4.62 cm to nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the parallel sides are x and y then:
x + y = 2*8 = 16
x + y = 16
If we drop a perpendicular line from one of the upper points on the trapezoid we have the height. Let the upper point be C and the point on the base be A. Let the point on right of the base be B.
AC is the height of the trapezoid. AB is the baseline of the triangle CAB.
In triangle CAB the angle B is 30 degrees.
As this is a 30-60-90 degree triangle
AC/AB = 1/√3 so AC = AB/ √3.
As the trapezoid is isosceles:
AB = x + 0.5(y - x)
AB = 0.5x + 0.5y
So AC = 1 /√3 (0.5x + 0.5y)
= 1 /√3 (0.5x + 0.5(16 - x)) (Substituting for x)
= 1 /√3 (0.5x + 8 - 0.5x)
=8 / √3
. = 4.6188 cm
Triangle A'B'C' is a reflection of triangle ABC across line BC. Prove that ray BC is the angle bisector of angle ABA'.
Answers
Answer is below in the picture:-
(From the problem, we know (triangle)ABC (round of equal of) (triangle)A'B'C'. So, <A'B'C' = <ABC {the properties of congruent triangles}. So, ray BC is the angle, bisector of angle ABA')
I hope it helps.
It is proved that the ray BC is the angle bisector of angle ABA'.
What are angle bisectors?Angle bisectors are lines who bisect the considered angle. Bisect refers to splitting in two equal parts. Therefore, the bisected parts of the considered angle are half of the original angle.
When a graph is reflected along an axis, say x axis, then that leads the graph to go just in opposite side of the axis as if it in a mirror.
We will find that its symmetric, thus each point is equidistant from the axis of reflection as that of the image of that point.
From the given problem, we know Triangle A'B'C' is a reflection of triangle ABC across line BC.
Therefore, <A'B'C' = <ABC
By the properties of congruent triangles. Means if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.
Hence, the ray BC is the angle, bisector of angle ABA'.

a certain pharmaceutical company know that, on average 4% of a certain type of pill has an ingredient that is below the minimum strength and thus unacceptable. what is the probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable?
Answers
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0% probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable.
For each pill, there are only two possible outcomes, either it is acceptable, or it is not. The probability of a pill being acceptable is independent of any other pill, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
The parameters are:
x is the number of successes. n is the number of trials. p is the probability of a success on a single trial.In this problem:
The sample has 20 pills, hence [tex]n = 20[/tex].100 - 4 = 96% are acceptable, hence [tex]p = 0.96[/tex]The probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable is:
[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.96)^{0}.(0.04)^{20} = 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.96)^{1}.(0.04)^{19} = 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.96)^{2}.(0.04)^{18} = 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.96)^{3}.(0.04)^{17} = 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.96)^{4}.(0.04)^{16} = 0[/tex]
0% probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable.

all angles add up to 180*, 180-90=90, 90=3x, 30=x
Answer:
x = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
One side is 90 so the other two sides have to add up to 90 too because a triangles' angles have to add up to 180.
So, we can write that 2x + x = 90
Then we can solve for x:
2x + x = 90
3x = 90
x = 30

what does the u stand for in these problems? is it the same as r?
Answers
I think "u" stands for units. [tex]u^2[/tex] means units squared which is like saying ft^2 if you were looking for the area of something with feet dimensions. So in this case, the circle has a diameter of x units (u) and an area of x units^2 ([tex]u^2\\[/tex]). It is not the same as r. "r" is most always going to be used to represent the radius.
