Answer:

  (a) an = 18 +3(n -1)

  (b) row 35

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The general term (an) of an arithmetic sequence can be expressed in terms of the first term (a1) and the common difference (d) as ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

The given sequence has a1 = 18 and d = 3, so the explicit formula is ...

  an = 18 + 3(n -1)

__

(b) We want to find n such that an = 120.

  120 = 18 + 3(n -1)

  40 = 6 + n - 1 . . . . . . . divide by 3

  35 = n . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5

Row 35 has 120 seats.

What are the characteristics of the graph of the inequality x ≥ -2? The ray will move to the left. The ray will move to the righ
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality x ≥ -2 is graphed on a number line.  -2 is the smallest possible value.  All subsequent values are larger and therefore lie to the right of -2.

Thus, the following are true:

1.  The ray will move to the right (because x begins at -2 and increases, which means moving to the right on the number line).

2.  It will use a closed circle (because x = -2 is part of the solution set).

Solve the equation Square root of x minus 5+ 7 = 11 for the variable. Show each step of your solution process. (10 points)
Murrr4er [49]

\sqrt{x - 5} + 7 = 11

(\sqrt{x-5}) ^{2} = (4)^{2}

|x - 5| = 16

x - 5 = +/- 16

x - 5 = 16     or     x - 5 = -16

<u>   +5</u>   <u>+5   </u>           <u>   +5 </u>    <u>+5  </u>

    x = 21       or        x = -11

Answer: x = {21, -11}

How do you solve for y in the equation: <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7By%7D%20%3Dy-6" id="TexFormula1" title
kozerog [31]

No it isn't.

Explanation:

x/y * y = (y-6) * y

x = y^2 - 6y

A function gives just one y for every x

In this case there will always be 2 y's for every x

Example:

y can be

y = 6

or

y =−6

(0,-6) & (0,6)
