Total length of the road = 6 3/4 miles.

Each markers are spaced at a distance = 1/8 of a mile.

Number of markers could be represented by following division problem:

Total length of the road ÷ each marker space =

<h3>a) 6 3/4 ÷ 1/8.</h3>

b) In order to solve it, we need to convert that fraction into improper fraction:

6 3/4 = 27/4

6 3/4 ÷ 1/8 = 27/4 ÷ 1/8

We need to convert division sign into multiplication sign and flip the second fraction.

27/4 × 8/1

On simplifying, we get

27  × 2 = 54.

<h3>c) There would be total number of 54 markers of lengths (1/8) of a mile.</h3>

Which function describes the arithmetic sequence shown<br><br> -1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, ...
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

f(n) = 2n - 3 describes the arithmetic sequence,

-1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13,.......

Step-by-step explanation:

Function:

A function is like a machine that gives an output for a given input.

A function has an independent variable which is called the input of the function.

The output for a given input is called the dependent variable.

Here. 'n' is the independent variable

f(n) is the function dependent variable i.e function of n as an output.

For Arithmetic sequence

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

Where

a_{n} = nth number of the sequence.

a₁ = First term

d = common difference = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = so on

For a function which describes Arithmetic sequence,

a₁ = -1

d = 1 - -1 =2

∴ f(n) = a₁ + (n -1 )d

substituting the values we get

∴ f(n) = -1 +(n-1)2

using distributive property

∴ f(n) = - 1 +  2n - 2

∴ f(n) = 2n - 3  ..........is the required function

An example of consecutive odd integers is 23, 25, 27, and 29. Find four consecutive odd integers with a sum of 160. Show your wo
Andrew [12]
Step1: Define an odd integer.
Define the first odd integer as (2n + 1), for n = 0,1,2, ...,
Note that n is an integer that takes values 0,1,2, and so no.

Step 2: Create four consecutive odd integers.
Multiplying n by 2 guarantees that 2n will be zero or an even number.
Therefore (2n + 1) is guaranteed to be an odd number.
By adding 2 to the odd integer (2n+1), the next number (2n+3) will also be an odd integer.

Let the four consecutive odd integers be
2n+1, 2n +3, 2n +5, 2n +7 

Step 3: require that the four consecutive integers sum to 160.
Because the sum of the four consecutive odd integers is 160, therefore
2n+1 + 2n+3 + 2n+5 + 2n +7 = 160
8n + 16 = 160
8n = 144
n = 18

Because 2n = 36, the four consecutive odd integers are 37, 39, 41, 43.

Answer: 37,39,41,43
