8 0

Answer:

0, 3 , 8

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute n = 1, 2, 3 into the pattern rule

T₁ = 1² - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0

T₂ = 2² - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

T₃ = 3² - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

Answer:

a) Number of projects in the first year = 90

b) Earnings in the twelfth year = $116500

Total money earned in 12 years = $969000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of projects done in fourth year = 129

Number of projects done in tenth year = 207

There is a fixed increase every year.

a) To find:

Number of projects done in the first year.

This problem is nothing but a case of arithmetic progression.

Let the first term i.e. number of projects done in first year = $a$

Given that:

$a_4=129\\a_{10}=207$

Formula for $n^{th}$ term of an Arithmetic Progression is given as:

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

Where $d$ will represent the number of projects increased every year.

and $n$ is the year number.

$a_4=129=a+(4-1)d \\\Rightarrow 129=a+3d .....(1)\\a_{10}=207=a+(10-1)d \\\Rightarrow 207=a+9d .....(2)$

Subtracting (2) from (1):

$78 = 6d\\\Rightarrow d =13$

By equation (1):

$129 =a+3\times 13\\\Rightarrow a =129-39\\\Rightarrow a =90$

Number of projects in the first year = 90

b)

Number of projects in the twelfth year =

$a_{12} = a+11d\\\Rightarrow a_{12} = 90+11\times 13 =233$

Each project pays $500

Earnings in the twelfth year = 233 $\times$ 500 = $116500

Sum of an AP is given as:

$S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)\\\Rightarrow S_{12}=\dfrac{12}{2}(2\times 90+(12-1)\times 13)\\\Rightarrow S_{12}=6\times 323\\\Rightarrow S_{12}=1938$

It gives us the total number of projects done in 12 years = 1938

Total money earned in 12 years = 500 $\times$ 1938 = $969000

artcher [175]

Answer:

y = 15x+32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y to be the total minutes Andrew will play video games today

x is the total number of games played after school

If he wants to play an additional 15 minutes each of x games after school today, the total minutes he will use for the x games will be 15* x = (15x)minutes

We are told that he has initially spent 32minutes on video games. hence;

Total minutes Andrew used on games y = (15*x)+32

The required equation will be y = 15x+32
