What is the common difference in the sequence -9, -4, 1, 6, 11,...?

$\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}$

The common difference is a number you add or subtract in order to get to the next term; in this case, we add.

The common difference of this arithmetic sequence is 5.

So in order to get to the next term, we add 5.

-9+5=-4

-4+5=1

1+5=6

6+5=11, etc.,

<h3>Henceforth the common difference of this sequence is 5.</h3>

Write an equivalent expression? Explain your reasoning. (t+t+t) +7t-6/(t+t+t)+2t-3

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine any like terms on each side of the equation: x-terms with x-terms and constants with constants. Arrange the terms in the same order, usually x-term before constants. If all of the terms in the two expressions are identical, then the two expressions are equivalent.

Tara wants to fix the location of a mountain by taking measurements from two positions 3 miles apart. From the first position, t

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Shortest distance from the mountain is 3.17 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Let a mountain is located at point A.

Angle between the mountain and point B (∠B) = 53°

Angle between the mountain and point C (∠C) = 78°

Distance between these points = 3 miles

Since, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

m∠A + 53° + 78° = 180°

m∠A = 180°- 131° = 49°

By applying sine rule in triangle ABC,

$\frac{\text{sin}(49)}{BC}=\frac{\text{sin}(53)}{AC}= \frac{\text{sin}(78)}{AB}$

$\frac{\text{sin}(49)}{3}=\frac{\text{sin}(53)}{AC}= \frac{\text{sin}(78)}{AB}$

$\frac{\text{sin}(49)}{3}=\frac{\text{sin}(53)}{AC}$

AC = $\frac{3\text{sin}(53)}{\text{sin}(49)}$

AC = 3.17 miles

$\frac{\text{sin}(49)}{3}=\frac{\text{sin}(78)}{AB}$

AB = $\frac{3\text{sin}(78)}{\text{sin}(49)}$

AB = 3.89 miles

Therefore, shortest distance from the mountain is 3.17 miles.

Three times the square of a non-zero number is equal to fifteen times the number.what is the number?

Alona [7]

5 because you subtract 15x and bring it to 3x^2 and get 3x^2-15x=0. Then take out the gcf and you get 3x(x-5)=0. Since it can't be 0, x-5=0 , the answer is 5.
