Answer:
x plus 4 divided by 5 minus 9
x + 4 / 5 - 9
Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
Answer:
1800 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 75
It is given that miles driven in July is 6 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May(75 miles).
Thus
No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 6 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 6*75 = 450 miles.
__________________________________________________
Another condition given that miles driven in June is 4 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July(450miles as calculated above).
Thus
No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June = 4 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 4* 450 miles = 1800 miles.
No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June is 1800 miles.
Answer:
X = 1 - (1/4) - 2 * (1/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to be raised must take into account what is painted on Monday and Tuesday. First consider the wall as a unit, that is to say painting the entire wall (100%) is equivalent to 1. Therefore the equation would be the following:
Let X be the unpainted part:
<em>X = 1 - (1/4) - 2 * (1/4)
</em>
X = 1 - (1/4) - (1/2)
Now, if we solve this, we have that 0.25, therefore 25% or 1/4 is left to be painted on the wall.
