Homework Progress 0 Find the nth term of the following sequence: 4 7 12 19 28

<em>Answer:</em>

n²+3

<em>Explanation:</em>

The differences between the terms are not the same, so this is not "linear". Knowing that the sequence may have started with a 1, you can try subtracting the first number with a number to get 1, and use that number to subtract the rest.

4 - 3 = 1
7 - 3 = 4
12 - 3 = 9
19 - 3 = 16
28 - 3 = 25

In this case, subtracting 3 to all the numbers gave us perfect squares! So this means the nth term has to do with squaring the number and adding three afterward! This can be checked.

√1 = 1
√4 = 2
√9 = 3
√16 = 4
√25 = 5

As we found the values of these terms by subtracting three first and then finding its square root, the nth term will be the opposite; squaring and then adding three! Again, this can be checked!

1² + 3 = 4
2² + 3 = 7
3² + 3 = 12
4² + 3 = 19
5² + 3 = 28

Hope this helps !! :D

5. Marie buys 2 pounds of turkey and 1 pounds of ham. She pays a total of $20,
NARA [144]

Answer:Let t = cost per pound of turkey

Let h = cost per pound of ham

 

4t + 2h = 30

t = h - 1.5

 

substitute h-1.5 in place of t in 1st equation

 

4(h-1.5) + 2h = 30

4h - 6 + 2h = 30

6h - 6 = 30

6h = 36

h = 6

 

t = h-1.5 = 4.5

 

1 pound of turkey costs $4.50

1 pound of ham costs    $6.00

                                ----------

cost of 1 pound each  $10.50

What are the solutions of x² + 6x - 16 = 0?
AveGali [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-16\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\sqrt{6^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-16\right)}\\\sqrt{6^2+64}\\\sqrt{36+64}\\\sqrt{100}\\\sqrt{10^2}\\=10\\x_1=\frac{-6+10}{2\cdot \:1},\:x_2=\frac{-6-10}{2\cdot \:1}\\\\\bold{x_1:2}\\\frac{-6+10}{2\cdot \:1}\\\frac{4}{2\cdot \:1}\\\frac{4}{2}\\=2\\\\\bold{x_2:-8}\\\frac{-6-10}{2\cdot \:1}\\\frac{-16}{2\cdot \:1}\\\frac{-16}{2}\\-\frac{16}{2}\\=-8

Answer:

x₁ = 2

x₂ = -8

What is 1 1/2 divided by 8
fomenos

Answer:

3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

start by converting 1 1/2 to an improper fraction by multiplying the 1 by the denomerator and then adding the 1 from teh numerator. Then place that all over the denomantor two. so you get 3/2

then set up your equation:

3/2 x 1/8

you do the resipricol of one of the numbers so instead of 8/1 we do 1/8

3 times 1= 3

2 times 8 is 16

3/16 does not simplify so thats your answer
