Given: 
Sum of arithmetic sequence is 21.
Product of arithmetic sequence is 315.

I did a manual computation. Arithmetic sequence means that there is a constant difference between the two consecutive numbers.

x + (x+2) + (x + 2 + 2) = 21
3x + 6 = 21
3x = 21 - 6
3x = 15
x = 15/3
x = 5    1st number

x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 2nd number

x + 2 + 2 = 5 + 2 + 2 = 9  3rd number.

5 + 7 + 9 = 21
5 x 7 x 9 = 315

These three terms can be written as a-d, a, a+d
Then (a-d)+a+(a+d)=21, i.e. 3a=21 and a=7.
So,
7(7-d)(7+d)=315
7²-d²=315/7=45
d²=49-45=4
d=2 or d=-2.
Thus, we have terms 5,7,9 or 9,7,5.

Given the formula C= 1/2t(c1-c2), solve for t.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

t=\frac{2C}{c1-c2}

Step-by-step explanation:

C=\frac{1}{2}t(c1-c2)\\2(C)=2(\frac{1}{2}t(c1-c2))\\2C=t(c1-c2)\\\frac{2C}{c1-c2}=\frac{t(c1-c2)}{c1-c2}\\t=\frac{2C}{c1-c2}

A population of 200 rabbits can be modeled by the equation y = 200e^0.06x, where y is the final population of rabbits and x is t
Elenna [48]
Graph 2, Option 4 would be your answer because:
If you substitute 1 into the equation (x), you would get about 212
If you substitute 2, you would get approximately 225
If you substitute 10, you would get approximately 364.
Looking at the graph, your answer would be going up and to the right, the population is getting bigger while the years are increasing as well.
If we substitute 15 into x in the equation, we would get approximately 492.

Identify the y-intercept of the line:
koban [17]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is equal to the slope or the gradient. So if y doesn't have a number (e.g 3y ) you must simply but if it is only y then it is equal to the the gradient or the slope.
