1. If you get a new job, outline the three forms you will have to deal with to file your taxes. Which one do you have to fill out when you start? Which one does your employer send you? Which one do you use to file your taxes?
2. What is the difference between gross income, taxable income, and adjusted gross income?

Answer:

To find the value of b_n in an arithmetic sequence given by the recursive definition b_1 = 8 and b_n = b_{n-1} - 3, we can use the formula for the nth term in an arithmetic sequence:

b_n = b_1 + (n-1)d

where d is the common difference. In this case, d = -3.

So, we can plug in the values for b_1 and d to find b_n:

b_n = 8 + (n-1)(-3)

b_n = 8 - 3(n-1)

Now, to find the value of b_n for a specific n, we just need to substitute the value of n into the equation for b_n. For example, if we want to find b_14, we would substitute n = 14:

b_14 = 8 - 3(14-1)

b_14 = 8 - 3(13)

b_14 = 8 - 39

b_14 = -31

So, the value of b_14 is -31, and the answer is (1) 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the problem might be that we need to set this up differently than how it is written.

"Subtract THIS from THAT" means that you have to put the second thing first and minus the first thing:

THAT - THIS



Next, the minus in the middle has to go to all three of the terms in the second part. This is going to change the sign of all three parts. See image.

Last, hopefully fraction addition with positive and negative signs isn't too terribly confusing.

1/5 - 2/5 is -1/5.

And -1/4 - 1/4 is -2/4, which is -1/2.

see image.

Make sure the y^2 and the y look like they are next to the whole fraction and are not on the bottom of the fraction.

Velocity of rock when it hits the ground is -22.9955152 ft/s

Velocity is the directional speed of an object in motion as an indication of its rate of change in position as observed from a particular frame of reference and as measured by a particular standard of time

Its position function is s(t) = –25t² + 1.86t

When it reaches back ground s(t) = 25 m/s

Substituting

               s(t) = –25t² + 1.86t = 25

Using the quadratic formula (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

(-1.86 ±√1.86-4*25*-25)2*25

(-1.86 ±√1.7298+625)50

(-1.86 ±√626.7298)/50

(-1.86÷25)50

(-1.86+25)50 or( -1.86 -25)50

48.14/50 = 0.9628

This figure is taken because its positive

Time = 0.9628 seconds

Now we need to find velocity when it reaches ground, that is velocity after 0.9628 seconds.

Differentiating s(t) equation

   Substituting t = 0.9628 seconds

               v(t) = –25(0.9628)² + 1.86(0.9628)

v(t) = -23.174596 + 0.1790808

Using sine law and cosine law, s is 13.6 units and T is 37.7 degrees while U is 59.3 degrees

The Law of Cosines, also known as the Cosine Formula, is a fundamental mathematical relationship between the sides and angles of a triangle. It states that the dot product of two sides of a triangle is equal to the product of the third side and the cosine of the angle between the two sides.

The general form of the Law of Cosines is:

C^2 = A^2 + B^2 - 2ABcos(C)

where C is the angle between sides A and B, and A, B, and C are the lengths of the sides of the triangle. The formula can be rearranged to solve for any one of the sides or angles given the other two.

In this problem, we can easily solve for s.

s² = 8² + 12² - 2(8)(12)cos83

s² = 184.601

s = √184.601

s = 13.6 units

The value of angle T is calculated using sine law;

13.6 / sin 83 = 8 / sin T

sin T = 8(sin 83) / 13.6

sin T = 0.58385

T = sin⁻¹(0.58385)

T = 37.7°

Using sum of angle in a triangle;

T + S + U = 180°

83 + 37.7 + U = 180

U = 180 - 120.7

U = 59.3°

Solving a quadratic equation, we will see that the object will hit the ground after 5.9 seconds.

The equation for the vertical movement of an object will be:

H(t) = -16*t^2 + v0*t + h0

Where v0 is the initial velicity, in this case 85ft/s, and h0 is the initial height,  55ft.

Then the height equation is:

H(t) = -16*t^2 + 85*t + 55

The object will hit the ground when the height is equal to zero, then we need to solve:

-16*t^2 + 85*t + 55 = 0

Using the quadratic formula we will get:

[tex]t = \frac{-85 \pm \sqrt{(85)^2 - 4*(-16)*55} }{2*-16} \\\\t = \frac{-85 \pm 103.7 }{-32}[/tex]

Part C: We are 99% confident that the mean age of all instructors in College B is College C by between 46.24672 and 57.75328 years old.

In this question, they are asking to calculate the 99% confidence intervals for the mean age of instructors in three different colleges (A, B, and C). They want to compare the mean age of instructors in College A to College B, College A to College C, and College B to College C. The numeric answers should be rounded to 5 decimal places.

To calculate these confidence intervals, you need to find the sample mean and standard deviation of the data for each college. Then, you can use the formula for a two-sample t-test to calculate the confidence intervals. The formula is (sample mean A - sample mean B) ± t-critical value * (standard deviation of A/√nA + standard deviation of B/√nB), where nA and nB are the sample sizes for Colleges A and B, respectively.

Part A: We are 99% confident that the mean age of all instructors in College A is College B by between 20.81733 and 23.72867.

To calculate the 99% confidence interval, we must first calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sample data. The mean age of all instructors in College A is 22.273 and the standard deviation is 1.936.

Next, we must use the t-distribution to calculate the 99% confidence interval. The critical value is 2.228. The confidence interval is calculated as follows:

Lower Bound = 22.273 - (2.228 x 1.936) = 20.81733

Upper Bound = 22.273 + (2.228 x 1.936) = 23.72867

Therefore, we are 99% confident that the mean age of all instructors in College A is College B by between 20.81733 and 23.72867.

Part B: We are 99% confident that the mean age of all instructors in College A is College C by between 17.73173 and 25.71367.

To calculate the 99% confidence interval, we must first calculate the mean and standard deviation

A cubic function is a degree three polynomial that can be expressed in the form; f(x) = a·x³ + b·x² + c·x + d.

The specified function can be presented as follows;

S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t + d

a. A feature of the graph that indicates that a cubic equation is the appropriate model, is the largest power of the input time variable t in the function is 3, which is the same as the power of a cubic function.

b. i. The value of d can be found by plugging in t = 0, in the function; S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t + d

From the table in the question, we get;

At t = 0, S = -5

Therefore;

S = a×0³ + b×0² + c×0 + d = -5

d = -5

The value of d = -5

b. ii. The simultaneous equations can be obtained by plugging in the values of t from the table into the function for S as follows;

S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t + d

S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t - 5

When t = 1, we get;

S = a·1³ + b·1² + c·1 - 5 = 3

a + b + c - 5 = 3

a + b + c = 3 + 5 = 8

When t = 2, we get;

S = a·2³ + b·2² + c·2 - 5 = 3

8·a + 4·b + 2·c - 5 = -1

8·a + 4·b + 2·c = -1 + 5 = 4

When t = 3, we get;

S = a·3³ + b·3² + c·3 - 5 = 3

27·a + 9·b + 3·c - 5 = -5

27·a + 9·b + 3·c = -5 + 5 = 0

iii. Solving the system of equations using a graphing calculator, indicates that we get;

c. Plugging in the values into the specified equation, we get;

S = 2·t³ - 12·t² + 18·t - 5

The solution of the above equation can be found as follows;

2·t³ - 12·t² + 18·t - 5 = 0

Based on an online tool, the Newton Raphson method indicates that a solution of the equation is; t ≈ 0.35821, which indicates that a factor of the equation, 2·t³ - 12·t² + 18·t - 5 = 0 is; (x - 0.35821)

(2·t³ - 12·t² + 18·t - 5) ÷ (x - 0.35821) ≈ 2·t² - 11.28356·t + 13.95804

The calculated test statistic (2.08) is greater than the critical value (1.96), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is evidence to suggest that the contest has increased participation in the box tops for education program.

To determine if the contest has increased participation in the box tops for the education program, we need to conduct a hypothesis test.

We will use a significance level of 0.05, which means we are willing to accept a 5% chance of making a Type I error (rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true).

Null Hypothesis: The proportion of students submitting box tops for education is still 12% (or has decreased) after the contest.

Alternative Hypothesis: The proportion of students submitting box tops for education has increased after the contest.

To test this hypothesis, we will use a one-sample proportion test. We will use the sample proportion, p' = 35/210 = 0.1667, as an estimate of the population proportion, p. The test statistic is calculated as:

z = (p' - p) / √(p x (1-p)/n)

where n is the sample size.

Under the null hypothesis, the expected value of the test statistic is 0, and the standard deviation of the test statistic is sqrt(p*(1-p)/n).

Using p = 0.12 and n = 210, we have:

z = (0.1667 - 0.12) / √(0.12 x 0.88/210) ≈ 2.08

The critical value for a significance level of 0.05 and a two-tailed test is ±1.96.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a standard quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a = 1, b = -5 and c = 6. To solve for x, you can use the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

Where ± represents the positive and negative square root, and the expression under the square root is called the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac).

So, substituting the values for a, b, and c, we have:

x = (-(-5) ± √((-5)^2 - 4 * 1 * 6)) / 2 * 1

x = (5 ± √(25 - 24)) / 2

x = (5 ± √1) / 2

Since the square root of 1 is 1, the two solutions are:

x = (5 + 1) / 2 = 3

x = (5 - 1) / 2 = 2

So, the solutions to the equation x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 are x = 2 and x = 3.

Orange = 2 jelly beans

Probability of selecting an orange jelly bean: 2/10 or 1/5

If you put the jelly bean back in, there is still 10 jelly beans.

Green = 3 jelly beans

Probability of selecting a green jelly bean: 3/10\

Multiply the probabilities:

1/5 x 3/10

= 3/50

An equation of the circle that satisfies the given condition is (x+3))^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 73

The formula for finding the equation of a circle is expressed as:

(x-a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2

Determine the value of r^2 using the distance between two points

r^2 = (-6-2)^2 + (-6+3)^2
r^2 = 64 + 9

r^2 = 73

Given the centre (a, b) as (-3, 2), the equatio of the circle will be;

(x-(-3))^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 73

(x+3))^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 73

Hence the equation of the circle is (x+3))^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 73

The height of each elevator at this time is, -2.5 m, negative means below ground level.

The distance covered by the object is equal to the product of the speed at which the object is moving and time taken for covering the distance.

Distance = Time × Speed

To find how long it would take each elevator to reach ground level, we can set h = 0 in the given expressions for their travel times:

Elevator A:  

= 0.8h + 16

= 0.8(0) + 16

= 16 seconds

Elevator B:  

= -0.8h + 12

= -0.8(0) + 12
= 12 seconds

Therefore, elevator A would take 16 seconds and elevator B would take 12 seconds to reach ground level at this time.

To find at what height the elevators pass each other, we can set their travel times equal to each other and solve for h:

0.8h + 16 = -0.8h + 12

1.6h = -4

h = -2.5

Now, we can substitute value of h in the expression

Elevator A:

= 0.8(-2.5) + 16

= 14 seconds

Elevator B:

= -0.8(-2.5) + 12

= 14 seconds

Therefore, the elevators would pass each other 14 seconds after they both start moving towards each other.
