Answer:

$a_n = 7n - 189$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is -182, -175, -168, -161, ...

It is an arithmetic sequence, because the difference between the successive term is the same constant.

d = -175 - (-182) = -175 +182 = 7

d = -168 - (-175) = -168 + 175 = 7

So the difference (d) = 7

The first term is $a_1 = -182$

The explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence is $a_n = a_1 + (n -1)d$

Now plug in a_1 = -182 and d = 7

$a_n = -182 + (n-1)7$

$a_n = -182 + 7n - 7$

Simplify the like terms

$a_n = 7n - 189$

A $1,200 Mac is on sale for 15% off. How much was the discount?

Fudgin [204]

Answer: The discount is $180, and the price with the discount is $1,020.

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply 1,200 times .15 to get the discount, or how much you get off. Then subtract the answer, which is $180, from the original price, to get $1,020. This is the price with the discount.

How does one integrate the following:

grin007 [14]

Consider substituting $u=4+xy$ , so that $\mathrm du=x\,\mathrm dy$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_{x=a}^{x=b}\int_{y=a}^{y=b}\frac x{(4+xy)^2}\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\int_{x=a}^{x=b}\int_{u=4+ax}^{u=4+bx}\frac1{u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dx$
$=\displaystyle\int_{x=a}^{x=b}\left(-\frac1u\right)\bigg|_{u=4+ax}^{u=4+bx}\,\mathrm dx$
$=\displaystyle\int_{x=a}^{x=b}\left(\frac1{4+ax}-\frac1{4+bx}\right)\,\mathrm dx$

Then by similar substitutions, you can easily find that you end up with

$\dfrac1a\ln|4+ax|-\dfrac1b\ln|4+bx|\bigg|_{x=a}^{x=b}$
$=\dfrac1a\ln|4+ab|-\dfrac1b\ln|4+b^2|-\dfrac1a\ln|4+a^2|+\dfrac1b\ln|4+ab|$
$=\dfrac1a\ln\left|\dfrac{4+ab}{4+a^2}\right|+\dfrac1b\ln\left|\dfrac{4+ab}{4+b^2}\right|$

Of course, this all assumes that the integrand is continuous over the domain of integration, which would require that $a,b$ are chosen such that $xy\neq-4$ for any $(x,y)\in[a,b]^2$ . If in particular $ab>-4$ , then we can write

$=\dfrac1a\ln\dfrac{4+ab}{4+a^2}+\dfrac1b\ln\dfrac{4+ab}{4+b^2}$

and you can combine the logarithms if you like as

$=\ln\sqrt[a]{\dfrac{4+ab}{4+a^2}}+\ln\sqrt[b]{\dfrac{4+ab}{4+b^2}}$
$=\ln\left(\sqrt[a]{\dfrac{4+ab}{4+a^2}}\sqrt[b]{\dfrac{4+ab}{4+b^2}}\right)$

The domain for f(x) and g(x) is the set of all real numbers.

Elza [17]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = x² + 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two different functions f(x) and g(x) with domain the set of all real numbers and given by

f(x) = 3x + 5 and

g(x) = x²

Now, we have to find the function (f + g)(x) which is obtained by simple arithmetic addition of the two functions.

Therefore, (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (3x + 5) + (x²) = x² + 3x + 5 (Answer)
