6 numbers form an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 4. THe sum of these numbers equals 12. What are the 6 numbers.

frutty [35]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the formula for an arithmetic sequence which will be:

a + (n - 1)d

where a = unknown

n = 6

d = 4

We then slot them into the formula

a + (6 - 1)4 = 12

a + 5(4) = 12

a + 20 = 12

a = 12 - 20

a = -8

The 6 numbers are

1st term = -8

2nd term = -8 + 4 = -4

3rd term = -4 + 4 = 0

4th term = 0 + 4 = 4

5th term = 4 + 4 = 8

6th term = 8 + 4 = 12

What is a solution to the equation 3 / m + 3 - M / 3 - M equals m^2 + 9 / m^2-9?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

$\frac{3}{m+3}-\frac{m}{3-m}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

Follow these steps to solve it:

- Subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation:

$\frac{3(3-m)-m(m+3)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{9-3m-m^2-3m}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

- Using the Difference of squares formula ( $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ ) we can simplify the denominator of the right side of the equation:

$\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{(m+3)(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides of the equation by $(m+3)(3-m)$ and simplify:

$\frac{(-m^2-6m+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{(m^2+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(m-3)}\\\\-m^2-6m+9=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)}{(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides by $m-3$ :

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)(m-3)}{(m-3)}\\\\(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)$

- Apply Distributive property and simplify:

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)\\\\-m^3-6m^2+9m+3m^2+18m-27=3m^2+27-m^3-9m\\\\-m^3-3m^2+27m-27+m^3-3m^2+9m-27=0\\\\-6m^2+36m-54=0$

- Divide both sides of the equation by -6:

$\frac{-6m^2+36m-54}{-6}=\frac{0}{-6}\\\\m^2-6m+9=0$

- Factor the equation and solve for "m":

$(m-3)^2=0\\\\m=3$

In order to verify it, you must substitute $m=3$ into the equation and solve it:

$\frac{3}{3+3}-\frac{3}{3-3}=\frac{3^2+9}{3^2-9}\\\\\frac{3}{6}-\frac{3}{0}=\frac{18}{0}$

Determine whether the lines given in each box are parallel, perpendicular, or neither

andrey2020 [161]

Answer/Step-by-sep explanation:

To determine whether the lines given in each box are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, take the following simple steps:

1. Ensure the equations for both lines being compared are in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Where m is the slope.

2. If both lines have the same slope value, m, then both lines are parallel.

3. If the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other, then both lines are perpendicular. That is, x = -1/x.

4. If the slope of both lines are not the same, nor the negative reciprocal of each other, then they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

1. y = 3x - 7 and y = 3x + 1.

Both have the same slope value of 3. Therefore, they are parallel.

2. ⬜ $y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 3$ and $y = \frac{2}{5}x + 8$

The slope of both lines are not the same, nor is the slope of one the negative reciprocal of the other. The slope of one is -⅖ and the slope of the other is ⅖. Therefore, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.⬜

3. $y = -\frac{1}{4}x$ and $y = 4x - 5$

The slope of the first line, ¼, is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the second line, 4.

Therefore, they are perdendicular.

4. 2x + 7y = 28 and 7x - 2y = 4.

Rewrite both equations in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

2x + 7y = 28

7y = -2x + 28

y = -2x/7 + 28/7

y = -²/7 + 4

And

7x - 2y = 4

-2y = -7x + 4

y = -7x/-2 + 4/-2

y = ⁷/2x - 2

The slope of the first line, -²/7, is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the second line, ⁷/2.

Therefore, they are perdendicular.

5.⬜ y = -5x + 1 and x - 5y = 30.

Rewrite the second line equation in the slope-intercept form.

x - 5y = 30

-5y = -x + 30

y = -2x/-5 + 30/-5

y = ⅖x - 6

The slope of both lines are not the same, nor is the slope of one the negative reciprocal of the other. The slope of one is -5 and the slope of the other is ⅖. therefore, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.⬜

6.⬜ 3x + 2y = 8 and 2x + 3y = -12.

Rewrite both line equations in the slope-intercept form.

3x + 2y = 8

2y = -3x + 8

y = -3x/2 + 8/2

y = -³/2x + 4

And

2x + 3y = -12

3y = -2x -12

y = -2x/3 - 12/3

y = -⅔x - 4

The slope of both lines are not the same, nor is the slope of one the negative reciprocal of the other. The slope of one is -³/2 and the slope of the other is -⅔ therefore, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.⬜

7. y = -4x - 1 and 8x + 2y = 14.

Rewrite the equation of the second line in the slope-intercept form.

8x + 2y = 14

2y = -8x + 14

y = -8x/2 + 14/2

y = -4x + 7

Both have the same slope value of -4. Therefore, they are parallel.

8.⬜ x + y = 7 and x - y = 9.

Rewrite the equation of both lines in the slope-intercept form.

x + y = 7

y = -x + 7

And

x - y = 9

-y = -x + 9

y = -x/-1 + 9/-1

y = x - 9

The slope of both lines are not the same, nor is the slope of one the negative reciprocal of the other. The slope of one is -1, and the slope of the other is 1, therefore, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.⬜

9. y = ⅓x + 9 And x - 3y = 3

Rewrite the equation of the second line.

x - 3y = 3

-3y = -x + 3

y = -x/-3 + 3/-3

y = ⅓x - 1

Both have the same slope value of ⅓. Therefore, they are parallel.

10.⬜ 4x + 9y = 18 and y = 4x + 9

Rewrite the equation of the first line.

4x + 9y = 18

9y = -4x + 18

y = -4x/9 + 18/9

y = -⁴/9x + 2

The slope of both lines are not the same, nor is the slope of one the negative reciprocal of the other. The slope of one is -⁴/9, and the slope of the other is 4, therefore, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.⬜

11.⬜ 5x - 10y = 20 and y = -2x + 6

Rewrite the equation of the first line.

5x - 10y = 20

-10y = -5x + 20

y = -5x/-10 + 20/-10

y = ²/5x - 2

The slope of both lines are not the same, nor is the slope of one the negative reciprocal of the other. The slope of one is ⅖, and the slope of the other is -2, therefore, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.⬜

12. -9x + 12y = 24 and y = ¾x - 5

Rewrite the equation of the first line.

-9x + 12y = 24

12y = 9x + 24

y = 9x/12 + 24/12

y = ¾x + 2

Both have the same slope value of ¾. Therefore, they are parallel.
