What Is The Explicit Formula For The Sequence?7, 2, 3, 8, 13, . . .

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Choice A,  [tex]a_n = -5n+12[/tex]

===========================================================

Explanation:

[tex]a_1 = 7[/tex] is the first term

[tex]d = -5[/tex] is the common difference, telling us to add -5 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 5 from each term

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is,

[tex]a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\\\\a_n = 7 + (-5)(n-1)\\\\a_n = 7-5(n-1)\\\\a_n = 7-5n+5\\\\a_n = -5n+12\\\\[/tex]

----------------

As a check, let's plug in n = 4 and we should get -8 as our fourth term

[tex]a_n = -5n+12\\\\a_4 = -5(4)+12\\\\a_4 = -20+12\\\\a_4 = -8\\\\[/tex]

so that confirms that portion of the sequence. I'll let you check the other values.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]3\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Aisha and her friends ate [tex]2\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] pizzas.

After the party, the remaining pizza is [tex]1\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] pizzas.

Now,

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{4+1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]1\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{8+1}{8}=\dfrac{9}{8}[/tex]

Pizzas at the starting = Pizza eaten by Aisha and her friends + Remaining pizza

[tex]=\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{9}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{20+9}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{29}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=3\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]3\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] pizzas were there at the start of the party.

Event A: lands on yellow.
Event B: lands on green.

Events A and B are a0 events.

Answers

Answer:

1/16

Events A+B are written (P) yellow : 1/4 * (P) green : 1/4

Ao event = (P) 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of event A and event B is 1/16.

We have given that,

Event A: lands on yellow.

Event B: lands on green

Events A+B are written  

yellow(P) = 1/4 * (P) green= 1/4

What is the meaning of probability?

Probability is defined as the likelihood of something occurring or the chance of something happening.

Ao event (P)=1/4 * 1/4

Event = 1/16

Therefore the probability of event A and event B is 1/16.

To find DC

c²=a²+b² (pythagorean theory)

c²=6²+8²

c²=36+64. c²=100. √100. c=10cm

thus D =10.

Hitting the baseball over the lights
Meanwhile, at the ballpark, Juan was practicing his hitting while talking to the girls

Solve for x given that CE = 36.
Show your work

Answers

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

CE = 36

CE = 9+(3x+6) = 9+6+3x = 15+3x

36= 15+3x

36-15 = 15-15+3x (removing 15 from left side also means removing 15 from right side)

21 = 3x

x= 21/3 = 7

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I wrote down the equation.

3x+6=36-9

Then, I simplified it.

3x+6=27

Then, I moved the six from the right to the left.

3x=21

After that, I divided both sides by 3.

x=7

What are the coordinates of the center of a circle whose equation is (x+1)^2+y^2=100?

Answers

Answer:

The center is (-1,0) and the radius is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a circle as

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

where the center is (h,k) and the radius is r

(x+1)^2+y^2=100

(x - -1)^2+(y-0)^2=10^2

The center is (-1,0) and the radius is 10

Answer:

radius = 10

center = (- 1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

eqn. of the circle = (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

= (x + 1)^2 + y^2 = 100

(x - (-1))^2 + (y - 0)^2 =10^2

The center is (- 1, 0) and the radius is 10

!!!please help!!!

Answers

Answer: The Median: 78, The First Quartile: 63, and The Third Quartile: 99

Step-by-step explanation: Ok, so let's put the data set from least to greatest....

(63, 63, 76,) (77, 79,) (84, 99, 99)

First Quartile              Third Quartile

First, let's find the median, since you made a little mistake...

77 + 79 = 156

156 ÷ 2 = 78

The median is 78!

Now, let's determine the first quartile and the third quartile.

For the the first quartile/third quartile it'll be the middle number, if it's even we'll do the same extra step just like we'll do for the median. In this case it's not even therefore...

First Quartile: 63

Third Quartile: 99

Kayla has $45 and wants to buy three shirts that are originally priced at $18 each. They are on sale for 20% off. After applying 5% tax, does Kayla have enough money to purchase the three shirts

Answers

Answer: No, as the total cost of the 3 shirts w/ sales tax is $45.36 and she only has $45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the price of one shirt on sale.

[tex]18*0.2[/tex]

This equals 3.6 which is how much will be deducted from the original price.

One shirt costs [tex]18-3.6\\[/tex] when its 20% off.

This is equal to $14.40.

Since she wants to buy 3 of them we just multiply the $14.40 by 3.

[tex]14.4*3=\\[/tex]

This equals $43.2 but this is without a 5% sales tax which is normally added to the total end price.

To add a sales tax you take the sales tax percent plus 1 and multiply it to the $43.2.

[tex]43.2*1.05=\\[/tex]

This means the total price of Kayla's purchase will be $45.36.

This is over her $45 she has so she can not buy it.

Answer: she does not and is over $45.36 (.36) cents over

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]18x^2-24x+87=0[/tex]

Using Quadratic Formula

[tex]$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$[/tex]

[tex]$x=\frac{-\left(-24\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-24\right)^2-4\cdot \:18\cdot \:87}}{2\cdot \:18}$[/tex]

Solving the discriminant:

[tex]\Delta = \left(-24\right)^2-4\cdot \:18\cdot \:87\\\Delta = 576-6264\\ \Delta=-5688[/tex]

[tex]$x= \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{-5688} }{36} $[/tex]

[tex]$x= \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{5688i} }{36} $[/tex]

Once [tex]\sqrt{5688} =\sqrt{2^3\cdot \:3^2\cdot \:79}=6\sqrt{158}[/tex]

[tex]$x=\frac{24\pm6\sqrt{158}i}{36}$[/tex]

Dividing the denominator and numerator by 6

[tex]$x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{158}i}{6}$[/tex]

Now rewrite it:

[tex]$x=\frac{4}{6} \pm i\frac{\sqrt{158}}{6}$[/tex]

[tex]$x=\frac{2}{3} \pm i \frac{\sqrt{158}}{6}$[/tex]

or
