Find a28 in the arithmetic sequence: 5.8, 3.5, 1.2, -1.1,

Mathematics
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago

Answer:

-56.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't have to much guessing because it tells us it is arithmetic which means it has a common difference.

That is a term minus it's previous will be the same.

3.5-5.8=-2.3

1.2-3.5=-2.3

-1.1-1.2=-2.3

In general:

a_n-a_{n-1}=-2.3 with a_1=5.8 if you wanted the recursive form.

You can also find the explicit form which would be more helpful for our task of finding the 28th term.

a_n=a_1+d(n-1) is the explicit form where d is the common difference and a_1 is the first term.

Inputting -2.3 for d and 5.8 for a_1:

a_n=5.8+-2.3(n-1)

Now the 28th term or a_{28} can be found by replacing n with 28:

a_{28}=5.8+-2.3(28-1)

a_{28}=5.8+-2.3(27)

a_{28}=-56.3

4. The ratio of skateboards to bikes is 3:1.
vredina [299]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

3 represents skateboards and 1 represents bikes. We need to get from 3 to 12 and 1 to the answer by using the same number you used to get from 3 to 12.

To get from 3 to 12 you multiply by 4

3*4=12

So let's go ahead and multiply 1 by 4 as well

1*4=4

Your ratio is now 12:4 and 4 stands for bikes so there are 4 bikes

What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 3y = 36, when y = 6?
amm1812

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

When plugging 6 in for y, you get  

2x + 3(6) = 36

You have to multiply 3 and 6, getting

2x + 18 = 36.

Now, you subtract 18 from both sides to isolate the x variable, getting

2x = 18

Now, you divide 2 from both sides because we want x standing by itself, getting

x = 9

Therefore, your answer is 9.

Hope this helped
