Answer:
The common difference is -5/4
T(n) = T(0) - 5n/4,
where T(0) can be any number. d = -5/4
Assuming T(0) = 0, then first term
T(1) = 0 -5/4 = -5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
T(n) = T(0) + n*d
Let
S1 = T(x) + T(x+1) + T(x+2) + T(x+3) = 4*T(0) + (x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3)d = 240
S2 = T(x+4) + T(x+5) + T(x+6) + T(x+7) = 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d = 220
S2 - S1
= 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d - (4*T(0) + (x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)d)
= (5+6+7+8 - 1 -2-3-4)d
= 4(4)d
= 16d
Since S2=220, S1 = 240
220-240 = 16d
d = -20/16 = -5/4
Since T(0) has not been defined, it could be any number.
The answer is d 100 inches
Answer:
10,9.75,9.5,9.25,9, 8.75 , 8.5, 8.25, 8...
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 0.25 from each to find the next number
Double is double, so you can solve
.. 2 = 1*e^(.08t)
and get the correct value of t.
Taking logs,
.. ln(2) = .08t
.. ln(2)/.08 = t ≈ 8.7 . . . . years
