Answer:
- Define your variable and write your equation: 36 + b + (3b-28) = 180°.
- measure of the second angle: 43°.
- measure of the third angle: 101°
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 36
c = 3b - 28
a + b + c = 180°
a = measure of the first angle
b = measure of the second angle
c = measure of the third angle
then:
1) 36 + b + (3b-28) = 180 ⇒ )Define your variable. Write your equation and solve)
b + 3b + 36 - 28 = 180
4b + 8 = 180
4b = 180 - 8
4b = 172
b = 172/4
2) b = 43° ⇒ measure of the second angle
c = 3b - 28
c = 3*43 - 28
c = 129 - 28
3) c = 101° ⇒ measure of the third angle
Check:
36° + 43° + 101° = 180°
The question also states that Lucy has a winning probability of 1/50, which means that she has 1 chance of winning if the total runners were 50. Therefore, there are 49 runners who may be faster than her.
The fact that Lucy is the 50th slowest runner, means that starting from the slowest she is in 50th position, therefore there are 49 runners that are slower than her.
The total number of runners will be the sum of those faster than Lucy, those slower than Lucy and Lucy:
49 + 49 + 1 = 99
There are 99 runners in Lucy's school.
Question:
Consider the sequence of numbers: 
Which statement is a description of the sequence?
(A) The sequence is recursive, where each term is 1/4 greater than its preceding term.
(B) The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function
f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3/8 .
(C) The sequence is arithmetic, where each pair of terms has a constant difference of 3/4 .
(D) The sequence is arithmetic and can be represented by the function
f(n + 1) = f(n)3/8.
Answer:
Option B:
The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

Explanation:
A sequence of numbers are

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

To find the pattern of the sequence.
To find the common difference between the sequence of numbers.




Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is 3.
That means each term is obtained by adding
to the previous term.
Hence, the sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function
Hi friend!
I presume you mean "What is the absolute value of -44!
Well an absolute value is always positive. So the absolute value of -44 is 44!
Hope I helped!
If not, tell me more clearly what you need!
