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

Solve the following system of equations. (Hint: Use the quadratic formula.) f(x) = 2x² 3x g(x)=-3x² + 20 (0.-10) and (1, 17) (-2

jasenka [17]

The solution of the system of equation is the intersection point of the two quadratic equations, so we need to equate both equations, that is,

$2x^2-3x-10=-3x^2+20$

So, by moving the term -3x^3+20 to the left hand side, we have

$5x^2-3x-30=0$

Then, in order to solve this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In our case, a=5, b=-3 and c=-30. So we get

$x=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(5)(-30)}}{2(5)}$

which gives

$\begin{gathered} x=2.76779 \\ and \\ x=-2.16779 \end{gathered}$

By substituting these points into one of the functions, we have

$f(2.76779)=-2.982$

and

$f(-2.16779)=5.902$

Then, by rounding these numbers to the nearest tenth, we have the following points:

$\begin{gathered} (2.8,-3.0) \\ and \\ (-2.2,5.9) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is the last option
