The answer is A: square root.

If she knows the area is x feet squared, then you have to find the square root of the number, to find the side length. Hope that helps!

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A. square root is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we know that, Betsy finds a <u>square rug</u> that she wants to purchase for her living room and she needs to know the side measure.

Area of the rug is A square feet.

To model this situation, square root function is the best.

We know that area of square having side 's' = s\times s=s^{2}

A = s^{2}

So, s=\sqrt{A}

Lets take an example.

Let the area of the rug be 25 square feet.

So, side will be : side \times side = 25

side =\sqrt{25}

side = 5 feet

Hence, the answer is square root function.

Mr. Fishie bought a tank for $15 and 10 fish which cost $f each. If he gave the cashier two 20-dollar bills, what was his change
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

$25 - $10f

Step-by-step explanation:

Fishie's name is fishy.  

We know Mr. Fishie spent $15 on a tank.  His 10 fish cost 10*$f.  His total is:

Total =15 + 10*f

His change after 2 $20 would be:

$40 - ($15 - $10f), or

$25 - $10f

Find the 61st term of -12, -28, -44,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a_{61}=-972

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetic Sequences</u>

The arithmetic sequences are identified because any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.

The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)r

Where

an = nth term

a1 = first term

r   = common difference

n  = number of the term

We are given the first terms of a sequence:

-12, -28, -44,...

Find the common difference by subtracting consecutive terms:

r = -28 - (-12) = -16

r = -44 - (-28) = -16

The first term is a1 = -12. Now we calculate the term n=61:

a_{61}=-12+(61-1)(-16)

a_{61}=-12-60*16=-12-960

\mathbf{a_{61}=-972}
