Answer:

21

ctto JBarnum

Step-by-step explanation:

P+11=(1/2)(P-13)^2

P+11=(1/2)(P^2-26p+169)

2(P+11)=(1/2)(2)(P^2-26p+169)

2P+22=P^2-26p+169

0=P^2-28p+147      ( -7 and -21)

(P-7)(P-21)=0

P=7,21                     (cant be 7 as 13 years from 7 is negative so peter is 21)

checking:

21+11=32

32=(1/2)(21-13)^2

32=(1/2)(8)^2

32=(1/2)64

32=32

correct

Write the first five terms of the sequence in which the nth term is a_n=(n+1)!/n+1.
VikaD [51]

Answer:a) 1,2,6,24,120

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of the sequence is expressed as

n=(n+1)!/n+1

For the first term, n = 1. Therefore,

(1+1)!/(1+1) = 2!/2 = (2×1)/2 = 1

For the second tern, n = 2. Therefore,

(2+1)!/2+1 = 3! /3 = (3×2×1)/3 = 6/3 = 2

For the third term, n = 3, therefore

(3+1)!/3+1 = 4!/4 =(4×3×2×1)/4 = 6

For the fourth term, n = 4. Therefore

(4+1)!/4+1 = 5!/5 = (5×4×3×2×1)/5 = 24

For the fifth term, n = 5. Therefore

(5+1)!/5+1 = 6!/6 = 6× 5×4×3×2×1)/6 = 120

The drama club collected $160 from ticket sales for the spring play. They need to collect at least $400 to pay for new lighting
valentina_108 [34]
We assume all money is spent on new lighting. Since they currently have $160 and need $400 we can subtract what they currently have from what they need.

$400-$160 = $240

Since we know the price of the ticket and now know they need $240 we can divide our $240 with the price of each ticket ($3)

$240/$3 = 80

So the drama club has to sell 80 more tickets in order to afford new lighting
