Xavier exercises by riding his bike. During his first week of training, he rides a total of 15 miles. Each week he increases the number of miles biked by 0.4 miles. How many total weeks will it take Xavier to first bike more than 500 miles total? 8 15 19 26

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the answer is D) 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Xavier will need 26 weeks to first bike more than 500 miles.

Arithmetic Progression

An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the successive terms is the same.

Sum of n terms of an arithmetic progression

The distance biked by Xavier during his first week of training is 15 miles.

The increase in the distance biked each week is 0.4 miles.

And we have to find the number of weeks required to first bike more than 500 miles total.

The given situation represents an arithmetic progression (AP) in which,

First term, a = 15

The common difference, d = 0.4

And the sum of n terms, Sn = 500

The formula to find the sum of n terms of an AP is,

[tex]\text{S}_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

How to check which option is correct?

We will check which option is correct by putting them in the above equation.

For n = 8, we have

[tex]\text{S}_n = \dfrac{8}{2}[2\times15+(8-1)0.4][/tex]

Sn = 4[30+2.8]

Sn = 131.2

Which is not more than 500, so option (A) is incorrect.

For n = 15, we have

[tex]\text{S}_n = \dfrac{15}{2}[2\times15+(15-1)0.4][/tex]

Sn = 7.5[30+5.6]

Sn = 267

Which is not more than 500, so option (B) is incorrect.

For n = 19, we have

[tex]\text{S}_n = \dfrac{19}{2}[2\times15+(19-1)0.4][/tex]

Sn = 9.5[30+7.2]

Sn = 353.4

Which is not more than 500, so option (C) is incorrect.

For n = 26, we have

[tex]\text{S}_n = \dfrac{26}{2}[2\times15+(26-1)0.4][/tex]

Sn = 13[30+10]

Sn = 520

Which is more than 500, so option (D) is the correct answer.

Hence, Xavier would bike more than 500 miles in 26 weeks.

What is Decimal ?

Decimals are one of the types of numbers, which has a whole number and the fractional part separated by a decimal point.

Here, given value

0.02 = 002/100

        = 2/100

On multiply numerator and denominator by 10, we get

0.02 = 20/1000

or 20 = 1000 X 0.02

Thus, 20 is 1000 times of 0.02.

[tex]\boxed{x=10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two angles, which together, have a sum of 90°. We call these complementary angles. The angle ∠EAF is the complement of angle ∠FAB and vice versa.

Therefore, because they sum up to be 90°, we can simply add the angles together and solve for x this way.

[tex]4x+5x=90\\\\9x = 90\\\\\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{90}{9}\\\\\boxed{x = 10}[/tex]

The variable x equals 10. We can go even further to check and verify that this is correct by substituting our original value for x into the equation.

[tex]4(10)+5(10)=90\\\\40 + 50 = 90\\\\90 = 90[/tex]

90 does in fact equal 90, so your final answer is x = 10°.

The value of fraction 0.5 7  is equal to 1/2.

We are given that;

Number = 0.57

Now,

There are different ways to express a fraction as a decimal, but one common method is to divide the numerator by the denominator.

For example, 1/2 as a decimal is 1 ÷ 2 = 0.512.

Another method is to use a fraction to decimal conversion chart or calculator345. According to these sources, 0.5 as a fraction is equal to 5/10 or 1/2.

These fractions are equivalent because they have the same value when simplified or reduced.

To simplify a fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).

Therefore, by algebra the answer will be 1/2.

Answer:

B (-5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line a passes through point ( 2,3 ).

Line b has equation y= -1

Plot the graph for line b, y=-1 , which is a horizontal line as shown in the attached graph

Plot point (2, 3) and draw the graph of line a, y=3 to form a line a parallel to line b

You will notice that point B (-5, 3) is the one the lies on line a.

The answer option A,(2,9) is incorrect  because it does not lie on any of the lines

The answer option C (0, 1) is incorrect because it lies along the y-axis

The answer option D (1, 4) is incorrect because it does not lie on any of the lines.

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is -75. What is the smallest number

Answers

Answer:

-27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's call the smallest number: n

Then, the next two consecutive odd numbers would be:

n+2 and n+4 (this is because it's only odd numbers so we add 2)

We know the sum of these is −75 so we can write this equation and solve for n:

n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = -75

n + n + 2 + n + 4 = -75

n + n + n + 2 + 4 = -75

n + n + n + 6 = -75

1n + 1n + 1n + 6 = -75

3n + 6 = -75        Subtract 6 from each side, which cancels the 6 on the left.

3n + 6 - 6 = -75 - 6

3n = -75 - 6

3n = -81       Divide each side by 3

3n/3 = -81/3

n = -81/3

n = -27

n + 2 = -27 + 2 = -25

n + 4 = -27 + 4 = -23

The 3 consecutive odd integers would be:

-27, -25, -23

Let's check our work:

-27 + -25 + -23 = -75    We are correct!

The smallest number is -27
