A sequence is of the form a1, a2, a3, a4, ...
where the an are real numbers. Technically, a sequence is a function whose domain is the set of natural numbers, and whose range is a subset of the real numbers. Sequences may be defined in various ways:
By listing, and appealing (via the three dots) to your intuition. Suppose the sequence is

1/2, 2/5, 3/10, 4/17, 5/26, 6/37, . . .

Then the n-th term is an

55 bridesmaids want to make 325 325 decorations for a wedding. each decoration takes about 212 2 1 2 minutes to make. which response gives the best estimate for the amount of time each bridesmaid will spend making decorations?

Rewrite the following quadratic functions in intercept or factored form. show your work. y = x^2 + 7x + 10

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
