Answer:

-13x-23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence:  x-9, -x-11, -3x-13

Therefore,

  • a_1=x-9
  • a_2=-x-11
  • a_3=-3x-13

General form of an arithmetic sequence: a_n=a+(n-1)d

(where a is the first term and d is the common difference)

To find the common difference, subtract a term from the next term:

\begin{aligned}d & =a_2-a_1\\ & =(-x-11)-(x-9)\\ & = -x-11-x+9\\ & = -2x-2\end{aligned}

Therefore,

a_n & =(x-9)+(n-1)(-2x-2)

To find the 6th term, input n = 6 into the equation:

\begin{aligned}\implies a_6 & =(x-9)+(6-1)(-2x-2)\\ & = (x-9)+7(-2x-2)\\ & = x-9-14x-14\\ & = -13x-23\end{aligned}

If x1 and x2 are the roots of the equation x^2 +5x-3=0, determine the value of x1^2 + x2^2. I know that I have to use vietas for
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 5x - 3 = 0

with a = 1, b = 5, c= - 3 , then

sum of roots x₁ + x₂ = - \frac{b}{a} = - \frac{5}{1} = - 5

product of roots = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{-3}{1} = - 3

Now

(x₁ + x₂)² = x₁² + 2x₁x₂ + x₂² , that is

(- 5)² = x₁² + 2(- 3) + x₂²

25 = x₁² - 6 + x₂² ( add 6 to both sides ), then

x₁² + x₂² = 31

Jessica and Josh are selling Entertainment Books to raise money for the art room at their school. Jessica received the prize for
Over [174]

Answer:

Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 240 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.

           Together they sold 256 books

To Find : How many did each one of them sell?

Solution:

Let Jessica sold x books

Let Josh sold y books.

Since we are given that Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.

⇒x=15y --a

We are also given that  Together they sold 256 books.

⇒x+y=256 --b

Using substitution method

Put value of x from equation a in equation b

⇒15y+y=256

⇒16y=256

⇒y=\frac{256}{16}

⇒y=16

Thus Josh sold 16 books

Jessica sold books = 15y = 15*16=240

Hence  Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 240 books
