First, you have to transform your numbers into proper fractions:
1 and 3/5 = (5+3)/5 = 8/5
1 and 1/5 = (5+1)/5 = 6/5

Therefore your arithmetic sequence is 2, 8/5, 6/5, ...

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between a given term and the preceding one is equal to the difference between the <span>following </span>term and the given one. In your case:
d = 8/5 - 2 = (8-10)/5 = -2/5
As a prove: d = 6/5 - 8/5 = -2/5

Now, in order to find the 25th term you need to apply the formula:
an = a + (n - 1)d
where an is the number you are looking for, a is the first term, n is the term you are looking for and d is the distance.
Hence, 
a₂₅ = 2 + (25-1)(-2/5) = 2 - 24·2/5 = 2 - 48/5 = (10-48)/5 = -38/5

Sneha went to a park 150m long and 80m wide. She took one complete round on its boundary. What is the distance covered by Sneha?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

460 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Boundary = perimeter

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

= 2(150 + 80)

= 2(230)

= 460 m

3y-3.5/3y+6=17/25.5. find the value of y. give the scale factor of the polygon
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Hi the answer to your question is

 

((3y - 3.5) / (3y + 6)) * 25.5 = (17 / 25.5) * 25.5

((3y - 3.5) / (3y + 6)) * 25.5 = 17 (76.5y - 89.25) / (3y + 6) = 17

((76.5y - 89.25) / (3y + 6)) * (3y + 6) = 17 * (3y + 6) 76.5y - 89.25 = 51y + 102 76.5y - 51y = 102 + 89.25

25.5y = 191.25

y = 191.25 / 25.5

<span>y = 7.5</span>

Write an equation to represent this line in point slope and slope intercept form....need help please..thanks.
GrogVix [38]
We can use rise over run to determine the slope is 5/8. Using this slope and the point (5,2) we can write the equation: y-2 = 5/8 (x-5) 

Decimal form of 5/8 is .625 , so it could be written y-2 = .625*(x-5)

HELP MEEEE<br> How do you add and subtract functions?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

To add or subtract functions, just add or subtract the values at each point where it makes sense. If the functions are given by formulas, you can just add or subtract the formulas (it doesn't matter whether you plug in values before or after).
