Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.
2, 5, 8, 11, ...

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

An equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

[tex]a_n=3n-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

2,5,8,11,...

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by  

[tex]a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d[/tex]

here

a₁ = 2

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

d = 5-2 = 3, d = 8-5=3, d=11-8=3

Using the nth term formula

[tex]a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d[/tex]

substituting a₁ = 2, d = 3

[tex]a_n=2+\left(n-1\right)3[/tex]

     [tex]=2+3n-3[/tex]

     [tex]=3n-1[/tex]

Thus, an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

[tex]a_n=3n-1[/tex]

A person standing close to the edge on top of a 32-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h(t)=−16t^2+124t+32 models the ball's height about the ground, h(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. a) What is the maximum height of the ball? __feet b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground? ____ seconds

Answers

Answer:

a) The maximum height of the ball is 272.25 feet

b) The balls take 8 seconds to hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You know that the quadratic function h(t)=−16*t²+124*t+32 models the ball's height about the ground, h(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.

Being a quadratic function of the form:

f (x) = a*x² + b*x + c

The vertex of a quadratic or parabola equation is the highest or lowest point on the graph corresponding to that function. When a> 0, the vertex of the parabola is at the bottom of it and indicates the minimum of the function. When a <0 the vertex is at the top and indicates the maximum of the function.

The value of x at the vertex is calculated by the expression:

[tex]x=\frac{-b}{2*a}[/tex]

The value of y at the vertex is calculated by substituting the value of x at the vertex into the quadratic function.

In this case, being a=-16, b=124 and c=32  you get that the maximum time is:

[tex]x=\frac{-124}{2*(-16)}=3.875[/tex]

Then a maximum height of:

h(3.875)=−16*(3.875)²+124*3.875+32

h(3.875)= 272.25

The maximum height of the ball is 272.25 feet

b) When the ball hits the ground the height is zero. So h (t) = 0:

0=−16*t²+124*t+32

Applying the resolvent:

[tex]\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4*a*c} }{2*a} =\frac{-124+-\sqrt{124^{2} -4*(-16)*32} }{2*(-16)}[/tex]

you get:

[tex]\frac{-124+\sqrt{124^{2} -4*(-16)*32} }{2*(-16)} =-0.25[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-124-\sqrt{124^{2} -4*(-16)*32} }{2*(-16)} =8[/tex]

Since the time cannot be negative, the balls take 8 seconds to hit the ground.

Find the least whole number that can replace blank 80 to make the statement true. ÷ 18 > 86

Answers

Answer:

649

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression :

__ ÷ 18 > 86

Let blank = y

y ÷ 18 > 36

y / 18 > 36

Multiply both sides by 18

(y / 18) * 18 > 36 * 18

y > 648

Hence, the least whole number which can make the statement true is (648 + 1) = 649

Solve the system by elimination. {2x+y=13x−y=−4 A. (3, 7) B. (2, 6) C. (4, 8) D. no solution

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 13 → (1)

x - y = - 4 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate the y- term, that is

3x = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2(3) + y = 13

6 + y = 13 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

y = 7

solution is (3, 7 ) → A

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=13

Mike bulit a sand casitle that mersured 54 inches by 77 inches and dug a moat aorund it afterward, he decided to change the size, making it 112 inches by 38 inches how much longer wil the new moat be than the old one?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial dimension of a sand castle is 54 inches by 77 inches. Mike decided to change the size, making it 112 inches by 38 inches.

He wanted to dug a moat around it.

The perimeter of moat with initial dimensions,

P = 2(54+77)

= 262 inches

The perimeter of moat with new dimensions,

P = 2(112+38)

= 300 inches

Difference in perimeter = 300 - 262

= 38 inches

Hence, the new dimension is 38 inches longer than the initial dimensions.

Given f(x)=2x²+2x-4, which is correct?
A) f(0)=0
B) f(-1)=4
C) f(b+1)=2b²+6b-4
D) f(a)=2a²+2a-4​

Answers

Answer:

Option D: f(a) = 2a²+2a-4 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

f(x)=2x²+2x-4

We will check the function at the given value;

A. f(0)

Putting x=0 in given function

f(0) = 2(0)²+2(0) - 4

f(0) = 0+0-4

f(0) = -4

B. f(-1)

Putting x=-1

f(-1) = 2(-1)²+2(-1)-4

f(-1) = 2(1) -2-4

f(-1) = 2-6

f(-1) = -4

C. f(b+1) = 2b²+6b-4

Putting x=b+1

f(b+1) = 2(b+1)²+2(b+1)-4

f(b+1) = 2(b²+2b+1)+2b+2-4

f(b+1) = 2b²+4b+2+2b+2-4

f(b+1) = 2b²+6b

D. f(a) = 2a²+2a-4

Putting x=a

f(a) = 2(a)²+2(a)-4

f(a) = 2a²+2a-4

Hence,

Option D: f(a) = 2a²+2a-4 is the correct answer.

Am I doing this right? The question is... At the first store Arlene visited, she spent 40% of her money plus $4. At the second store she spent 50% of her remaining money plus $5. At the third store Arlene spent 60% of her remaining money plus $6. When Arlene finished shopping at the three stores, she had $2 left over. How many dollars did she have when she started shopping?

My equation was x - 2 = ((0.4x+4)0.5+5)0.6+6. Both sides of the equation were to find how much she spent. I got 13.86363...

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the remaining money. If x represents the amount Arlene started with, then the remaining amounts are ...

  after first store: x -(0.4x +4) = 0.60x -4

After spending 50% of her money, the amount remaining will be 1-50% = 50%. Then spending 5 more dollars reduces the amount remaining by another 5.

  after second store: (0.60x -4)(0.50) -5 = 0.30x -2 -7 = 0.30x -7

After spending 60% of her money, the amount remaining will be 1-60% = 40%. Then spending 6 more dollars reduces the amount remaining by another 6.

  after third store: (0.30x -7)(0.40) -6 = 0.12x -2.80 -6 = 0.12x -8.80

This is reported to be $2, so we have ...

  0.12x -8.80 = 2

  0.12x = 10.80

  x = 90

Arlene started shopping with $90.

_____

Check

At the first store, Arlene spent 0.40×$90 +$4 = $40, so she had $90-40=$50 remaining.

At the second store, Arlene spent 0.50×$50 +$5 = $30, so she had $50-30=$20 remaining.

At the third store, Arlene spent 0.60×$20+$6 = $18, so she had $20-18 =$2 remaining.

D. 1/3^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 3/3 as usual and get 1.

When dividing exponents, you are actually subtracting them. 5-8 = -3.

D is the answer because positive exponents in the denominator of the fraction is the same as a negative exponent in the numerator.

The rule with exponents is that when dividing similar bases with different exponents (or power), you subtract the exponents respectively.

3⁵ / 3⁸ = 3⁽⁵ ⁻ ⁸⁾ = 3⁻ ³ = 1 / 3³

So the answer is

Answers

Answer:

First situation

More than 3 hours

At least 10

15

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours

The equation will be

[tex]5x>15\\\Rightarrow x>\dfrac{15}{5}\\\Rightarrow x>3[/tex]

So, she needs to work more than 3 hours in order to make more than $15.

The situation that represents [tex]5x>15[/tex] is the first one.

Let x be the additional number of cans

The inequality will be

[tex]x+5\geq15\\\Rightarrow x\geq 15-5\\\Rightarrow x\geq 10[/tex]

So, the additional number of cans to be bought is at least 10.

Let x be the number of comic books Clarice has.

[tex]x>15[/tex]

So, Clarice needs to have more than 15 comic books.

Let x be age of Elizabeth

The equation will be

[tex]x=5\times 15\\\Rightarrow x=75[/tex]

So, Elizabeth is 75 years old.
