She eats 10 her first week so she eats 3 pieces for the next six weeks (3 each week)
10 + 3(6) = 28
10+3+3+3+3+3+3=28
7th term is 28
Arithmetic sequence

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Michelle likes chocolate but it causes acne. She chooses to limit herself to three pieces of chocolate every week.

Except the first week, when she eats ten pieces.

This table below shows the chocolates totally she has eaten after each week upto 7 weeksI week = 10\\II week = 10+3 = 13\\III week=10+3+3 =16\\...Vii week = 10+3+3..+3 (6 times) =28

Thus we find that this is a sequence which increases by a constant difference 3.

Hence this is an arithmetic sequence.

I term = 10 and common difference = 3

Hence nth term

a_n=10+(n-1)3 =3n+7\\a_7 =10+(7-1)3 = 28

Determine whether the polynomial is a difference of squares and if it is, factor it.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

(y - 4)(y + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y² - 16 ← is a difference of squares

Since y² and 16 are both squares separated by a difference , that is minus

A difference of squares factors as

y² - 16

= y² - 4²

= (y - 4)(y + 4)

Suppose it takes 18 hours for a pipe to fill a tank of water, if the tank
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of tank be x

In 18 hours volume of tank filled = x

we have to find the volume of tank which is filled in 1 hours.

For that we divide LHS and RHS by 18

In 18/18 hours volume of tank filled = x/18

In 1 hours volume of tank filled = x/18

In 30 hours volume of tank emptied = x

we have to find the volume of tank which is emptied in 1 hours.

For that we divide LHS and RHS by 30

in 30/30 hours volume of tank filled = x/30

In 1 hours volume of tank filled = x/30

If tank is empty and one starts to fill it, two things will happen

it will start filling at rate of x/18 hours

But there is leak which will start to empty the tank at  x/30 hours

So , at any given time rate if filling of water will be rate of filling the tank- rate of emptying the tank

In 1 hour volume of tank filled if both filling and leaking takes place simultaneously =  x/18 -x/30 = (30-18)x/18*30 = 12x/18*30 = x/3*15 = x/45

In 1 hour volume of tank filled = x/45

in 1*45 hour volume of tank filled = x/45*45 = x

Thus, it will take 45 hours to fill the leaky tank  .
