ARITH. PROGRESSION

1st term  =x,
2nd term =x², So the common difference d = x² - x

at the same time they are giving d=12, then: x² - x = 12
 x² - x + 12 =0, solving it gives: x' =6 & x" = - 2
for x= - 2, then  PA => -8, 4, 16 (d=12) ==> 3rd term = 16
& for x=6, then PA ==> 24, 36. 48, (d=12) etc 3rd term = 48

both are correct

4X,X^2,_
Common difference=12
second term - first term=12
X^2-4x=12
subtract 12 from both sides
X^2-4X-12=12-12
X^2-4X-12=0
now its a quadratic equation, so use either factor method or quadratic formula,
X^2-6X-2X-12=0
take common
x(X-6)-2(x-6)=0
x-2)(x-6)=0
so x is either 2 or 6 
now use them to find the third term

The smith family walked 2/3 of a mile in 2/7 of an hour? What is their unit rate in miles per hour? Explain how this is determin
frez [133]

Answer: 2\dfrac13\text{ miles per hour}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance traveled by Smith = \dfrac23 mile.

Time taken = \dfrac27  hour

Unit rate in miles per hour = ( Distance traveled by Smith) ÷ (Time taken)

=\dfrac23\div\dfrac27

\\\\=\dfrac23\times\dfrac72\\\\=\dfrac73\\\\=2\dfrac13\text{ miles per hour}

Unit rate  = 2\dfrac13\text{ miles per hour}

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

110 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of students who have only taken calculus is given by the number of students who have taken calculus minus the students who have taken both classes:

C =100 -50\\C= 50\ students

The number of students who have only taken discrete mathematics given by the number of students who have taken discrete mathematics minus the students who have taken both classes:

D =110 -50\\C= 60\ students

The number of students that have taken a course in either calculus or discrete mathematics is:

E = C+D = 50+60\\E= 110\ students

The recipe for Perfect Purple Water says, "Mix 8 ml of blue water with 3 ml of red water." Jada mixes 24 ml of blue water with 9
cluponka [151]

Answer:Jada will get same shade as Perfect Purple Water

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

To get the right  recipe for Perfect purple water, every new mixture must have an equivalent ratio as the ideal mixture

The ideal mixture is given as

8ml  blue water and 3 ml red water.

Step 2

Andre mixes 16ml blue water with 9ml red water

\frac{8ml}{3ml} is not equivalent to \frac{16ml}{9ml}

Because dividing Andre's mixture  by a common value  will  not give  the equivalent ratio of the ideal recipe

\frac{16ml}{9ml}  \frac{/}{/}  \frac{3}{3} =\frac{5.3ml}{3ml}  

Jada mixes 24ml blue water with 9ml red water

\frac{8ml}{3ml} is equivalent to \frac{24ml}{9ml}

Because dividing Jada's mixture  by a common value  gives the equivalent ratio of the ideal recipe

\frac{24ml}{9ml}  \frac{/}{/}  \frac{3}{3} =\frac{8ml}{3ml}  

This shows that Jada got the right recipe and will get  same shade as Perfect Purple Water but in a higher quantity, 3 times the right recipe for  Perfect Purple Water
