Step-by-step explanation:
an = 2n^2 - 3 · Anonymous. -1, 5, 15, 29, 47, ... an = 2 n^2 - 3.
The answer in simplest for would be 7/8. What you basically do is multiply 7/10 by the reciprocal of 4/5 and that gives u the answer.
Distance to travel = 20 m.
Let us determine the time, t, that each participant took to complete 20 m.
Barbara:
Average speed = (3 m)/(2 s) = 1.5 m/s
t = 20/1.5 = 13.3 s
Mark:
t = 5 s
Carlos:
y = x + 1
where
y = 20 m
x = time, t
Therefore
t =x = y - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19 s
Summary:
Barbara: 13.3 s
Mark: 5 s
Carlos: 19 s
Answer:
The winner is Mark
