5. The set S contains some real numbers, according to the following three rules. (i) is in S. (ii) If is in S, where is written in lowest terms (that is, a and b have highest common factor 1), then is in S. (iii) If and are in S, where they are written in lowest terms, then is in S. These rules are exhaustive: if these rules do not imply that a number is in S, then that number is not in S. Can you describe which numbers are in S? For example, by (i), is in S. By (ii), since is in 5, is in S. Since both andare in S, (iii) tells us 1+2 is in S.

Create two sequences that meet the following criteria: 1) Both sequences must start with a, being your age. 2) One sequence must be arithmetic; the other geometric. 3) Both sequences must contain at least one negative number. 4) The geometric sequence must contain at least one fraction. Label the sequence as geometric or arithmetic and give the first five terms of each sequence in the submission text.
Determine whether each of the following sequences (an) converges, and find the limit of each convergent sequence. Name any results or rules that you use. You may use the basic null sequences listed in Theorem D7 from Unit D2.

Until recently, all area codes had a 0 or a 1 as the middle digit and the first digit could not be 0 or 1. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) How many area codes were possible with this arrangement? How many telephone numbers does the current 8-digit sequence permit per area code? (The first two digits that follow the area code cannot start with 0 or 1 or 2. Assume that there are no other restrictions.) ch There are (Type a whole number.) area codes possible. The current 8-digit sequence will permit (Type a whole number.) (b) The actual number of area codes under the previous system is 152. What is the most likely reason for this. discrepancy between this number and your answer in part a? OA. The actual number of area codes is different from the answer to part a because in part (a) only an estimate of the number of area codes was calculated. The actual number of possible area codes is 152. OB. The actual number of area codes is different from the answer to part a because the answer…
A sequence ai, a2, a3, . . . is defined by An+1 4а, — 3, п > 1 - a1 = k, where k is a positive integer. Given that E ar = 66, find the value of k.
There are six wires which need to be attached to a circuit board. A robotic device will attach the wires. The wires can be attached in any order, and the production manager wishes to determine which order would be fastest for the robot to use. Use the multiplication rule of counting to determine the number of possible sequences of assembly that must be tested. (Hint: There are six choices for the first wire, five for the second wire, four for the third wire, etc. Enter an exact number.)
This question covers the concept of fibonacci numbers. We know the sequence of fibonacci numbers goes like: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21.... How would we apply the concept of fibonnaci numbers to this problem (attached)?
A burger chain wants to send codes for a free small drink to the members of its kids club. The coupon code will have one letter, followed by two digits, followed by two letters. The letters R , S , T , and U and the digit 3 will not be used. So, there are 22 letters and 9 digits that will be used. Assume that the letters and digits can be repeated. How many such coupon codes can be generated?
