The series ∑3ke − k/28 is a divergent series.

To determine whether the series ∑3ke − k/28 converges or diverges, we can use the ratio test.

The ratio test states that if lim┬(n→∞)⁡|an+1/an|<1, then the series converges absolutely; if lim┬(n→∞)⁡|an+1/an|>1, then the series diverges; and if lim┬(n→∞)⁡|an+1/an|=1, then the test is inconclusive.

Let's apply the ratio test to our series:

|a(n + 1)/a(n)| = |3(n + 1) [tex]e^(^-^(^n^+^1^)/28) / (3n e^(^-^n^/^2^8^))|[/tex]

= |(n+1)/n| * |[tex]e^(^-^1^/^2^8^)[/tex]| * |3/3|

= (1 + 1/n) * [tex]e^(^-^1^/^2^8^)[/tex]

As n approaches infinity, the expression (1 + 1/n) approaches 1, and [tex]e^(^-^1^/^2^8^)[/tex] is a constant. Therefore, the limit of the ratio is 1.

Since the limit of the ratio test is equal to 1, the test is inconclusive. We need to use another method to determine convergence or divergence.

One possible method is to use the fact that [tex]e^x > x^2^/^2[/tex] for all x > 0. This implies that [tex]e^(^-^k^/^2^8^)[/tex] < [tex](28/k)^2^/^2[/tex] for all k > 0.

Therefore,

|a(k)| = 3k [tex]e^(^-^k^/^2^8^)[/tex] < 3k[tex](28/k)^2^/^2[/tex]

= 42k/k²

= 42/k

Since ∑1/k is a divergent series, we can use the comparison test to conclude that ∑|a(k)| diverges.

Therefore, the series ∑3ke − k/28 also diverges.

Let x be a discrete random variable. If Pr(x < 6) = 3/9, and Pr(x ≤ 6) = 7/18, then P(X = 6) is 0.06.

A discrete random variable is a variable that can take on only a countable number of values. Examples of discrete random variables include the number of heads when flipping a coin, the number of cars passing through an intersection in a given hour, or the number of students in a classroom.

Let x be a discrete random variable.

Pr(x < 6) = 3/9, and Pr(x ≤ 6) = 7/18

P(X ≤ 6) = P(X < 6) + P(X = 6)

Subtract P(X < 6) on both side, we get

P(X = 6) = P(X ≤ 6) - P(X < 6)

Substitute the values

P(X = 6) = 7/18 - 3/9

First equal the denominator

P(X = 6) = 7/18 - 6/18

P(X = 6) = 1/18

P(X = 6) = 0.06

A power series representation for the function f(x) =[tex]x/36 + x^2[/tex] is  Σ((1/36) * [tex]x^n[/tex]) from n=1 to infinity + Σ[tex](x^{(2n)})[/tex] from n=0 to infinity and its interval of convergence is -1 < x < 1.

To find a power series representation for f(x), we'll rewrite it as a sum of power series:

f(x) = [tex]x/36 + x^2[/tex]
f(x) = (1/36) * [tex]x + x^2[/tex]
f(x) = Σ((1/36) * [tex]x^n[/tex]) from n=1 to infinity + Σ[tex](x^{(2n)})[/tex] from n=0 to infinity

Now let's find the interval of convergence for the given power series. We'll use the Ratio Test:

For the first power series, let a_n = (1/36) * [tex]x^n[/tex]:
lim (n→∞) (|a_(n+1)/a_n|) = lim (n→∞) (|[tex](x^{(n+1)[/tex])/(36 * [tex]x^n[/tex])|) = |x|/36

For the second power series, let b_n = [tex]x^{2n[/tex]:
lim (n→∞) (|b_(n+1)/b_n|) = lim (n→∞) [tex](|(x^{(2(n+1)}))/(x^{(2n)})|) = |x|^2[/tex]

The interval of convergence is where both series converge. The first series converges when |x|/36 < 1, or -36 < x < 36. The second series converges when [tex]|x|^2[/tex] < 1, or -1 < x < 1. Therefore, the interval of convergence for f(x) is:

We can assume that the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed and the probability that the sample mean falls between 75 and 77 is 0.4582 or 45.82%.

Sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed

Use the standard normal distribution to evaluate the probability that the sample mean falls between 75 and 77.

First, lets calculate standard error of the mean:

SE = σ/√n

Since we are not given the population standard deviation (σ), we will use the sample standard deviation (s) as an estimate:

SE = s/√n

Next, we need to calculate the z-scores corresponding to 75 and 77:

z1 = (75 - x) / SE
z1 = (75 - x) / (s/√n)

z2 = (77 - x) / SE
z2 = (77 - x) / (s/√n)

Since the sampling distribution is normal, we can use a standard normal distribution table or a calculator to find the probabilities associated with these z-scores.

P(75 ≤ x ≤ 77) = P(z1 ≤ Z ≤ z2)

We find that:

P(-0.71 ≤ Z ≤ 0.71) = 0.4582

Therefore, the probability that the sample mean falls between 75 and 77 is 0.4582 or 45.82% (rounded to 4 decimal places).

Recurrence relation: a_n = a_(n-1) + 2

c) a_n = 2n + 3

a_(n-1)= 2(n-1) + 3

Thus, a_n - a_(n-1) = 2

a_n = a_(n-1) + 2
Recurrence relation: a_n = a_(n-1) + 2

a_(n-1) = 5(n-1)

Thus, a_n - a_(n-1) = 5
Recurrence relation: a_n = a_(n-1) + 5

e) a_n = n^2

a_(n-1) =  (n-1)^2

Thus, a_n - a_(n-1) = 2n - 1
Recurrence relation: a_n = a_(n-1) + 2n - 1

f) a_n = n^2 + n

a_(n-1) = (n-1)^2 +(n-1)

Thus,  a_n - a_(n-1) = 2n
Recurrence relation: a_n = a_(n-1) + 2n

g) a_n = n + (-1)^n

a_(n-1) = (n-1) + (-1)^(n-1)

The process of dividing a data set into a training, a validation, and an optimal test data set is called data partitioning.

Data partitioning is the process of dividing a dataset into separate subsets that are used for different purposes, such as training a model, validating its performance, and testing it on new data.

The most common way to partition a dataset is into three subsets: a training set, a validation set, and a test set. The training set is used to train a model, the validation set is used to tune the model's hyperparameters and assess its performance during training, and the test set is used to evaluate the final performance of the model on new, unseen data.

Data partitioning helps to prevent overfitting by providing a way to evaluate a model's performance on data that it has not seen during training.

Therefore, the graph would be D) the arrow points downwards in the lower left and lower right quadrants.

For the function f(x) = (2x-3)(x+1), the end behavior can be determined by looking at the degree of the polynomial. Since the degree is 2, the end behavior will be the same as that of a quadratic function, which means that the graph will either be an upward or downward parabola. In this case, the graph would be A) the arrow points upwards in the upper left quadrant and downwards in the lower right quadrant, because the leading coefficient is positive.

For the function f(x) = 3x - 1, the end behavior is a straight line with a slope of 3. The arrow would be pointing upwards in both the left and right quadrants, so the graph would be B) the arrow points upwards in the upper left quadrant as well as in the upper right quadrant.

C) the arrow points upwards in the upper right quadrant and downwards in the lower left quadrant

This is because the function f(x) = -5x^2 (x+1) (x+3) is a cubic function with a leading coefficient of -5, which means that the end behavior of the function will be downward in the lower left quadrant and upward in the upper right quadrant.

Given Set S is S spans P_2.

The set S = {1, x², 4 + x²} spans P_2 if every polynomial in P_2 can be expressed as a linear combination of 1, x², and 4 + x².

Let's consider a general polynomial in P_2, which has the form ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. We need to determine if there exist constants k1, k2, and k3 such that:

ax² + bx + c = k1(1) + k2(x²) + k3(4 + x²)

Simplifying the right-hand side gives:

ax² + bx + c = (k2 + k3)x² + 4k3

For this equation to hold for all values of x, we must have a = k2 + k3, b = 0, and c = 4k3. Therefore, every polynomial in P_2 can be expressed as a linear combination of the elements in S if and only if we can find constants k1, k2, and k3 that satisfy these equations.

Solving the equations, we get:

k1 = 4k3 - a

k2 = a - k3

k3 is free

Since k3 is a free variable, we can choose it to be any value we like. This means that we can always find constants k1, k2, and k3 that satisfy the equations, and so S spans P_2.

Therefore, the answer is S spans P_2.

Answer: no polygon exists in which the ratio of the number of diagonals to the sum of the measures of the angles is 1 to 18, because the number of sides n cannot be equal to 23.

Step-by-step explanation: Let n be the number of sides of the polygon. The number of diagonals in a polygon of n sides is given by the formula:

d = n(n-3)/2

The sum of the measures of the angles in a polygon of n sides is given by the formula:

180(n-2)

The ratio of the number of diagonals to the sum of the measures of the angles is:

d / [180(n-2)] = [n(n-3)/2] / [180(n-2)] = (n-3) / 360

We want to show that this ratio cannot be equal to 1/18, or:

(n-3) / 360 ≠ 1/18

Multiplying both sides by 360, we get:

n-3 ≠ 20

Adding 3 to both sides, we get:

n ≠ 23

Therefore, no polygon exists in which the ratio of the number of diagonals to the sum of the measures of the angles is 1 to 18, because the number of sides n cannot be equal to 23.

Using the least squares regression method, we obtain the equation of the regression line: y = 22.4x + 26.2. The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, which is 26.2. Therefore, the answer is d) 26.2.

The correct answer is d) can be used to predict a value of y if the corresponding x value is given. A least squares regression line is a statistical method used to find the equation of a line that best fits the data points. It can be used to predict the value of the dependent variable (y) for a given value of the independent variable (x).

The regression function is ŷ = 900 + 6x, where x is the advertising in $100s and ŷ is the sales in $1,000s. To find the point estimate for sales when advertising is $10,000, we substitute x = 100 in the regression function: ŷ = 900 + 6(100) = 1,500. Therefore, the answer is a) $1,500.

The least squares estimate of the y-intercept is 42.6.

An intercept is a point on the y-axis, through which the slope of the line passes. It is the y-coordinate of a point where a straight line or a curve intersects the y-axis. This is represented when we write the equation for a line, y = mx+c, where m is slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given that,

x    y

6   94

Calculate the means of x and y values:

x_mean = (2 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 6) / 5 = 20 / 5 = 4

y_mean = (50 + 70 + 75 + 80 + 94) / 5 = 369 / 5 = 73.8

Calculate the differences from the means for x and y:

x_diff = [2-4, 5-4, 4-4, 3-4, 6-4] = [-2, 1, 0, -1, 2]

y_diff = [50-73.8, 70-73.8, 75-73.8, 80-73.8, 94-73.8] = [-23.8, -3.8, 1.2, 6.2, 20.2]

Calculate the product of the x and y differences and the square of x differences:

xy_diff = [-2×(-23.8), 1×(-3.8), 0×1.2, -1×6.2, 2×20.2] = [47.6, -3.8, 0, -6.2, 40.4]

x_squared_diff = [-2², 1², 0², -1², 2²] = [4, 1, 0, 1, 4]

4. Sum up the product of the x and y differences and the square of x differences:

sum_xy_diff = 47.6 - 3.8 + 0 - 6.2 + 40.4 = 78

sum_x_squared_diff = 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 10

Calculate the slope (m):

m = 78 / 10 = 7.8

Use the slope (m) to find the least squares estimate of y-intercept (b) using the equation

b = 73.8 - 7.8 × 4 = 73.8 - 31.2

N = 100% x (1/2)^((1.190 × 10⁴)/5730)
N = 100% x (1/2)^(2.08)
N = 100% x 0.285
N = 28.5%

Therefore, after 1.190 × 10⁴ years, approximately 28.5% of the original ¹⁴C is still present in the tree trunk.

Answer:

the ans is 6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

using the distance formula

d^2= (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

d^2= (8-4)^2 + (8-3)^2

d^2= (4)^2 + (5)^2

d^2= 16+ 25

d^2= 41

d= sqrt of 41*

d= 6.4units

Answer:

x < -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 6 > 3x + 14  Add 2x to both sides

-2x + 2x - 6 > 3x + 2x  + 14

-6 > 5x + 14  Subtract 14 from both sides

-6 - 14 > 5x + 14 - 14

-20 > 5x  Divide both sides by 5

[tex]\frac{-20}{5}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{5}{5}[/tex] x

-4 > x or x < -4
