Answer:

a21 = -61

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d

-19=a_{1}+(7-1)d

-28=a_{1}+(10-1)d (subtract to eliminate a₁)

9 = -3d

d = -3

-19 = a₁ + (6)(-3)

-1 = a

a21 = -1 + (21 - 1)(-3)

= -61

Answer:

-61 (Answer D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d and first term a(1) is

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

Therefore, a(7) = -19 = a(1) + d(7 - 1), or a(7) = a(1) + d(6) = -19

and a(10) = a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28, or a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28

Solving the first equation a(1) + d(6) = -19 for a(1) yields a(1) = -19 - 6d.  We substitute this result for a(1) in the second equation:

-19 - 6d + 9d = -28.  Grouping like terms together, we get:

3d = -9, and so d = -3.

Going back to an earlier result:  a(1) = -19 - 6d.

Here, a(1) = -19 - 6(-3), or a(1) = -1.

Then the formula specifically for this case is a(n) = -1 - 3(n - 1)

and so a(21) = -1 - 3(20) = -61 (Answer D)

The number of small lawns Isabella can rake depends on the amount of time she spends raking. Isabella can rake 3 lawns in 3.75 h
ycow [4]

Answer:

1) 4      2)7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If we divide 3.75/3=1.25 which is the amount of time she takes per yard so if we add another yard to what she has already done we find she only could do one more yard in 5 hours 3.75+1.25=5.00 So she can only rake 4 yards in 5 hours

2) If we divide 20.25/3=6.75 we find that each ticket is $6.75 so we must divide that by 47.25 to get the amount of tickets 47.25/6.75=7
